The functionality of the HCA does not change when calculating mined or lab grown diamonds.
Here are the “safe” stats that most PS members would recommend:
Table : 54 - 58
Depth : 60 - 62.3
Crown : 34 - 35
Pavillion: 40.6 - 40.9
Note.... with a shallow Crown Angle like 34 you want to pair that with a Pavillion Angle like 40.8 to 40.9 and vice versa a Crown with 35 you pair that with a Pavillion of 40.6
These angles are complimentary.
Feel free to post pics of your choices. We have some great members like @DejaWiz that love giving feedback and sharing their knowledge

Those are the two I had whittled it down to.

This 1.55 carat Lab-Created round diamond E color vs1 clarity has Ideal proportions and a diamond grading report from IGI

I personally like to stick with 40.6-40.9 pavilion, as there can sometimes be obstruction issues below that.
Might I suggest this stone as an alternative to the 2.02? It's cheaper than the James Allen stone, has a GCAL 8x report, HPHT, with arguably perfect proportions.

In the 1.5 range, this stone is also cheaper than the 1.55 James Allen, with the same proportions.

Awesome, thank you!
You're very welcome!
Please put that beautiful 2.50 on hold (as well as any others that made your short list) so that they don't get anonymously sniped.
