Is this CVD stone alright? Measurements 6.99 x 4.84 x 3.37mm, K color
 
I'm not great just looking at pictures or videos, but it looks nice to me. I like the contrast pattern, and I don't see obvious stria.

@DejaWiz and @Kim N, what do you think?
 
I like the contrast pattern, as well.
TBS, I think it's going to be tough to judge this cut from such a vendor showcase video.
I can see some hints of striation, but nothing that would genuinely concern me. Again, hard to judge without live action shots.
 
No way to tell without ASET

Got it. The vendor has a reasonable return policy and so, I will take some ASET images after I have my hands on it. Thanks everyone, your inputs really helped. :)

Great update, looking forward to hearing your thoughts. I'm curious to see how you like the K color in a CVD stone as well.
 
I'm a bit late to this but I agree that it looks nice from the video. The contrast patterns across the belly are nicely distributed across the stone and it looks very lively. How much tolerance will you have for warmth in the stone bearing in mind its a K colour?

Thanks @diamondhoarder I do have a K mined MRB diamond set as a ring. It is a little bit warm but I am alright with the color. As for this lab, I think its worth a buy and worn as a pendant, since I already have a tiny E colored mined crisscut, set as a ring right now. =)2

Cant wait to see the pics when you receive it. I suspect it will be very pretty.
 
It seems like when you see do tint in a K it's often very pretty, sometimes brown or pinky brown.
 
Dear all.. An update that the vendor gotten back and said that during its visual inspection, a light green tinge is detectable and hence not refundable should I decide to proceed with the purchase.

I have asked for actual photos of the diamond. However, I m not sure if they will agree to my request.

I have heard of Blue tinge for lab diamonds..however green tinge is a first. Has anyone seen a green tinge lab diamond?

Grrr. I'm sorry!

Now the hunt begins again.
 
It could be terrible or really cool. There's no way to tell unless they send you really good images. Let us know what you decide.

Edited to add, IMHO, I don't like the color in the one you linked, but another shade could be really pretty.
 
Here are the videos the vendors supplied to see if there is any green tint.

I do see a green modifier, but it could be my monitor. How does it look to you?
 
The fact that there is no return is a big red flag for me. You have to figure out how much risk you’re willing to take, but if doesn’t do it for you based on the videos, you may want to wait and save your money for something that makes your heart sing ❤️
 
I don't see green. I see tint, like a J not and an E, but I don't see green. I think it's very pretty but get more opinions.
 
I don't see green but I'd sure like to see a return policy.
