Help select lab diamond range.

[sweetanzflower]

Hello!
DejaWiz has been amazing in helping me look for my very own lab diamond. Unfortunately, i cannot decide and I wanted to get your opinion.
My search was to look for 3-4ct lab - D-F VS-VVS quality. My budget is 3-4K, better if it was closer to 3K. My friend owns a CBI natural diamond and i really love the way it sparkles, but doing a bit of research, they are no longer available and honest to be told. They are out of my budget! Thanks to Deja, i have the following diamonds to select from but I need to select them pretty quickly.

Option 1. 3.01 D VS2 3.01 $4K
Option 2. 3.50 E VS1 3.50 $2.7K
Option 3. 3.33 E VVS2 3.33 $3.8K
Option 5 4.04 EVS2 4.04 $3.3K

I've hyperlink the videos above. I would really like to get some other view re: quality, blue hue etc, i really want something that sparkles a tone like my friend CBI on the budget ha! alas.

Special thanks to @DejaWiz

There is absolutely no reason you cannot buy a lab grown with the same sparkle as the CBI. Since both are diamonds, it is all in the cutting. There are only a few houses spending the money to cut them, but when you see one that does, side by side with the CBI of your friend's, you will be both amazed and pleased at the beauty of BOTH diamonds.

I am nowhere near an expert but I like option 3 the best. I like the contrast in the facets. I tend to like vvs+ stones. That could all be in my head lol but they do seem to appear crisper to me

Karl_K, Kim N, lovedogs, Garry H (Cut Nut), headlight, 0-0-0, tyty333, and anyone else - would you kindly take a look at these four videos and offer your thoughts?

A moderator should take care of it soon...maybe over the next couple/few days.

If you are looking for something comparable to CBI I would pick between 3.01 and 3.50 for what looks like better optical symmetry in the videos. Considering the size and price difference I would want to check out the 3.50 first.

Not at my computer to look at the video, while the videos if nothing else is available can be used to find very nice diamonds there is 0, no, none, nada, guarantee that they are going to be near the top of the top with just video and numbers.

For some reason the loupe360 videos aren't working for me right now, but I like the 3.01 a lot.

Thanks, DejaWiz! The 3.50 gets my vote over the other three based on the images.

You're very welcome and thanks for taking a look, Kim!

Here's the side profile of the 3.50 - I'm not seeing any obvious blue nuance.

No, it looks good on that front as well.
