You’re mixing up crystal issues (straining, graining) with inclusions. These stones do not have inclusions that would be seen to the naked eye. And some would be hard to see with a 10x loupe.

The 1.21 looks great to me. The price difference sometimes is based on when the stone was purchased from the wholesaler. @Texas Leaguer, can you give more insight into price variations? I'm just talking out my elbow here lol

Yes, the "crystal issues" are largely a non-factor with HPHT. Much more likely to happen in CVD, due to its very different growth environment. I like to use the word "transparency" because that is the way lattice disruption usually manifests, and it is less likely to be confused with discussion about crystal inclusions.

Keeping diamonds priced in a way that makes perfectly logical sense has been very challenging in recent months with sometimes opposing forces impacting our costs. Generally falling prices of lab diamonds, but with various increases due to the changing tariff situation.
