Hello everyone,
I'm a long time lurker and I've been looking for a 3 carat diamond for an upgrade engagement ring. These are all within budget and wanted help to see if there was anything I wasn't seeing with my eyes! I would greatly appreciate it!

All of them have inclusions in the table area, per their reports. I'd want to be sure that those inclusions don't jump out at you when the stone is rotated or tilted just right. I have a mined diamond with an inclusion like that. I wore the ring for 2 days before I finally saw the inclusion, and once seen, it can't be unseen, haha. Those are large diamonds with big tables and a lot of depth from surface of table down to the culet. See if they are truly eye clean enough all of the time, any lighting, any angle.

Thank you. I will definitely keep it in mind and see when it arrives

Hello, wanted to come back and share some pics. I received the ring today. No sunshine here as its raining :cry:

I don't have a diamond to compare to. I ordered the 3.28 GVS1 Gcal 8x diamond that @Kim N said they liked. Its clean to my eyes and i do like it! Super happy with it, but let me know if you see something else i dont see!

It was set in Adiamor's classic setting with prong claws and 2.5mm width. Its paired with my tiffany's platinum 4.5mm band

I'm comparing to a 2ct MoissaniteCo DEF "AGS0" moissanite.

Its definitely crisper and deeper compared to the moissanite, and in my office, it does not look cloudy

It looks beautiful on you! They shaped the claw prongs very well too!
