Hi everyone! I’m new to the diamond world, and the man made diamond world, and I’m looking for assistance with finding a great center stone for my engagement ring. It will be set in platinum in the “Lynne Solitaire” by CvB, which I am head over heels about.
I first considered an OEC, because I absolutely love the style of the cut. But we needed to re-evaluate our budget a bit and for the size I want vintage diamonds are just out of my range. I looked into AVR as an alternative, but I can’t find much on pricing on the Distinctive Gem website. From what I can tell it appears those may be way out of budget as well. So that leaves me with looking for a round lab diamond. I’ve been grazing Rare Carat, Clean Origin and Ritani but I’m having a hard time figuring out what makes a good diamond, other than the 4 C’s and all that.
I’d really like something in the 1.9-2.1ct range, near colorless (a little warmth is okay though) and “eye clean” and of course ideal cut. I’d like to stay under than $10k if possible. What should I be looking for other than the 4 C’s? Could anyone give me an example of a great diamond in that price range with those specs?
Any help or assistance is much appreciated, all of this is so overwhelming. I’ve been trying to read up about diamonds online and it’s like an information overload. Haha. Thanks so much in advance everyone, you guys are awesome!
