This is my first post here, so I hope this is in the right subforum and complies with any community standards.
I would like to buy a new lab grown diamond pendant for my wife for Christmas. Last year I bought her a pair of 0.87ct G color, VS1 clarity, super ideal cut lab grown diamond studs and she loves them and wears them frequently - so I'm thinking a nice pendant would go well with the earrings. Unfortunately, I find myself uncertain as to what to buy. I see that Lightbox sells 1.5ct and 2ct diamonds now, and their prices are very good. I'd like to keep within a $2750 budget, including tax.
If you had to choose between a 1.25ct lab grown VS2/E/H&D/Super Ideal cut (HCA score 1.3) or a 1.5ct or 2ct Lightbox diamond pendant, to go with the aforementioned earrings, which would you pick? Price is roughly equal for the 1.25ct and the 2ct LB.
