I can’t seem to find a nearly 1:1 H&A cushion lab diamond without overpaying. TIA.
Looking to buy hearts and arrows square cut cushion, 3-4 carats.

A really well cut square cushion will cost you. Fancy cuts with optimal light performance just are that way.

The prices aren’t high? I am reading otherwise.

They may give the illusion of high priced, but keep in mind that these diamonds aren't just whipped up lickety-split...they are meticulously cut for a very specific end result, thus more material loss and lots of extra labor is involved.
The material quality is almost always of a much higher degree, which also adds to the overall cost.

Have you checked Distinctive Gem? Jonathan cuts h&a cushions. I got my earth grown ones from Rockher, but I don’t know if they have Lab ones.

Too late to edit the above. I want to add, the diamond is from Brian Gavin. It’s spectacular.

It is really up to you to decide if paying for that level of optical precision is "over paying". @DejaWiz is right - the amount of labor involved, how much material is lost, and quality of the rough is something that is factored in to the price.

Brilliance.com and Art of the jewels in San Francisco sell the same diamonds (per the report #) as brilliant earth or any other website at 25% - 50% of the cost. I just purchased a 7ct asscher F vs1 for 6500$ from Brilliance.com that was listed for $28,000 and as “truly brilliant” on Brilliant earth.
Art of the jewels is highly reputable in San Francisco where I live, and will get you any stone with the GIA/IGI number as well, at a fraction of the cost of other jewelers. They had my diamond listed for 6700$ when I cross reference report #s.
My diamond for my engagement ring is absolutely fire. Took a quick pick for you indoors and it lit up like a Christms tree!
I’ve noticed the price on elongated
cushions is a bit higher because of demand due to trend. And the market is flooded with crushed ice because of the trend, but artofthejewels.com and brilliance.com still had a nice selection of H&A super ideal cut square cushions.
