Help me find a round 2.5!

[upgradetime]

Hi all! I’ve been lurking but finally ready to pull the trigger on my first LGD. I’m a bit overwhelmed after reading lots of posts so hoping you can help me find a beautiful round stone, approx 2.5ish carats. I would prefer to stay in the D-G color range and to avoid blue nuance. On the material, is it preferable to avoid CVD? I welcome advice advice or atone recs!

Hello, upgradetime!
Wow, I think you win the registered member lurker contest!



HPHT or CVD can both produce high material quality, but also produce some really bad.

All rules for cut precision and optics for earth grown diamonds will obviously apply to human grown diamonds, so it can be both a challenge and an easy task...and what I mean by that is because quite a lot of LGDs are cut and proportioned to fall within true ideal ranges, but sometimes the cut precision can be a bit wonky, depending on how extreme towards utmost perfect that you want to find.

Do you have a budget cap in mind for the 2.5 carat D-G?

Wow! I didn’t realize I’ve been lurking that long

Helpful reply, thank you! I’d ideally like to spend less than $2500 - is that possible? There is a large range of prices when I search for my specs!

This one is stunning! I’ve actually never seen a LGD in person but looked at countless videos and pictures online. What about another in 2.2ish carat range? I would like to order 2 sizes and select one to keep

Here's one right around 2.5cts. There seems to be some sort of filter on the video. It's a GIA VS1, so I wouldn't be worried about the clarity.

I ordered the 2.66 carat and just got it today! It’s gorgeous, hard to capture in photos. Any thoughts? I was worried it would be too big but I love the size!
