I am new to Pricescope and have began my diamond search! We have decided on a lab grown diamond but have found it to be difficult to decide on a stone. The pear is going to be set in a rose gold halo. I am willing to drop down in color because I do not mind a warmer stone as long as it does not look brown in the setting. I also am worried about a very stark contrast between the F-G halo stones. What are your opinions on these stones? Or just general recommendations for me :)

Welcome to the forum! :)

I cannot get the BE site to work on my computer - I get to the Cookies thing that overlays the page, but there are no buttons to press...

The CleanOrigin stones look pretty good to my (amateur) eyes - chunky faceting and no apparent bow-tie (although the video setup won't be the same as James Allen or any other vendor, so it's hard to compare). They look to have a touch of tint to them, but that might be my late-evening screen settings, lol.

Not much help, really - I'm sorry! :D

I strongly recommend you choose a G or better color for lab diamonds. Here's a comparison of two lab diamonds (both CVD grown) side by side. One is a G, the other an E color. Once you get to H or I color in lab grown, they're simply brown.

With pears, also, you'll see higher concentrations of color in the point vs rounded end. Personally I love fancy colored pears for that reason, but heads up!

Brilliant Earth has received some less than stellar reviews. I'd really research it before you buy there and see if you are comfortable. I don't like the cut on either of the BE options. The pointed end is kind of a mushy faceted section to me. I would want to see more images if you were to consider those.

Does Clean Origin offer you static photos as well as the 360? I think that is also important. I think you need more information before you purchase those.

Pears do hold more color in the ends. There can be a concentration. If that is a concern, I'd not drop down to below a G for a pear.

Not to hijack.. just wondering.. antiquey candlelight like a K or like BROWN? I'm a super fan of K...

These are really pretty. I love the uniqueness.

Are K colored lab created diamonds typically that brown?

Thank you! I love esoteric fancy colored lab diamonds.

Once you get higher than G color in lab grown, the tone/hue/palette can vary significantly- yellow, brown, gray, or pink. IE one K color may look completely different from another K color from the exact same grower.

All of the diamonds in the videos were graded as fancies, and all would likely get higher than K color if graded as colorless.

Perfect. :) Thank you so much. I saw one K that was the sweetest lightest pink, just like you mentioned (and I should have jumped on it). I have a natural K that has blue flouro and faces up nicely white and I love it. I've always wanted a good size K. I appreciate the more colorless diamonds/and lab created diamonds but I'm an antiquey candlelight color girl :)

Very informative, I appreciate it!
