My first loose lab stone just arrived and I’m a bit disappointed to be honest. The stone is a 0.68 ct IGI F SI1 from JA. It is definitely warmer than my GIA G no Fluor natural cushion which is of similar size (0.74 ct). I’d say it is around H color in my eyes. I have natural diamonds in colors E, G, H, J and K of which I have currently as loose a G and a K.
Cutting is nice as expected and I can’t find any flaws even with a 10 x loop.
Also when I opened the box I didn’t feel even a little excitement. I’ll have to wait for my next natural diamond purchase to arrive to determine if it is a lab grown issue or something else. I have already purchased a GIA D VVS1 so we’ll find out soon enough.
In the picture below GIA G (no Fluor) is on
the left, IGI F is in the middle and a GIA K is right.
