Hi there I'm new to this forum and came across it when doing some research on lab grown diamonds. I could really use some help as I'm comparing 3 diamonds and don't have much experience with gems. I am considering 3 round lab grown diamonds from 3 different wholesalers. I've seen all 3 and they all look sparkly and eye clean so it's hard to tell which is best, here are the specs (all have excellent polish/symmetry, prices are in Canadian dollars):

1) 1.21 carat, color: F, Clarity SI1, Cut: ideal, measurements: 6.85-6.89-4.18, table: 58%, crown: 34.5°, pavilion: 40.6°, depth: 60.8% HPHT grown, price $3500 CAD
2) 1.20 carat. color: G, Clarity: SI1, Cut ideal, measurements: 6.85-6.87-4.20, table: 57%, crown: 35.5°, pavilion 40.9°, depth: 61.3% CVD grown, price $3500 CAD
3) 1.27 carat, color: H, Clarity SI1, Cut: ideal, measurements: 7.07-7.11-4.23, table 55.5%. crown 33.8°, pavilion 40.2°, depth: 59.6% CVD grown, $3200 CAD

All are IGI certified. Per the IGI reports #1 has multiple inclusions on the table and #2 has no inclusions on the table and comes with an IGI hearts and arrows report.


I am also not sure if HPHT or CVD grown labs are best. I've heard conflicting things like HPHT have a bluish hue. Any help you can provide would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Thanks in advance.
