I purchased a 5.01 ct D / VVS2 lab diamond ring from Adiamor and had such a great experience I wanted to share and make my own thread!
I seriously cannot believe how much this diamond sparkles...the fire / scintillation is incredible.
It sparkles so much more than my ACA diamond studs from WF (yes, really) and my lab diamond earrings from BE.
In my opinion it sparkles as much as a D / IF 5 ct diamond that I saw and was lucky enough to be able to try on at my local VCA (retail 1M
) and as much as a 5.55 ct diamond ring I saw at Tiffany's (retail $600,000).
It's a showstopper!!

I will say that I don't think it's a true D color, ie D color certified by GIA. I compared it to my G / VS2 ACA earrings from WF, and I think the color is one grade higher on this ring compared to the earrings. I believe this ring would actually be an F color if certified by GIA. I expected as much going into this purchase though, since IGI isn't as strict on grading as GIA, AGS, or GCAL, which was why I went for a D color. I figured it would probably be 2 colors lower (ie, IGI D = GIA F), so I wasn't disappointed.
The setting and band is very high quality and comfortable. I purchased a pear shaped lab diamond ring with a pave band from Brilliant Earth a while ago, and the band on that one is much lower quality than Adiamor's band.
Thank you for reading!
