Opinion on this lab grown round?

[melrose]

Hi! Is this a good find? I'm looking for a super sparkly diamond. The price point is $807, which I feel like is a little higher than other's I've found. thanks! Link to the diamond video here.

Hello, melrose!
Looks decent overall.
Maybe some slight unevenness with the pavilion facets (40.9° PA should probably average out to 43% pavilion depth instead of the 43.5% for this one)...also - hard to tell because of the lighting in the video, but it may lean slightly gray or blue, but it's not definitive.

There is a mountain worth of LGDs out there with more created every minute of every day, so there's zero reason to settle, in my opinion.

thank you!! Yeah I originally really liked this one and it was listed at only $644 but someone grabbed it before I could, so just on the hunt for another

Dang - that's a heck of a bargain for 2.1x carat D VVS2 HPHT with the H&A designation on the grading report!

ugh right! I came across it right at the beginning of my diamond search and didn't realize how good of a deal it was at the time

I remember you sharing that option on reddit and was a shame you missed out. The perfect stone will be out there for you somewhere - that G, VVS2, HPHT with arguably better proportions (admittedly no H&A on the report but likely to be good) is the closest I've seen since at a similar price point but it's a slight compromise on colour and is still more expensive!

Fingers crossed for you on your search

@DejaWiz @MackPUK hi I'm back! thoughts on this one? it's listed at $864. The certificate is from 2023 which makes me wonder what's wrong with it if it's still available. https://loupe360.com/diamond/607336751

 

[MackPUK]

I can't see anything obvious but will defer to dejas expertise. The proportions all look good on the report - H&A designation is a good indication etc.

At a guess, it's stuck around as it's overpriced anywhere else I can see/find it (lowest alternate price is over $1300 but it's over $1600 on LGD, over $1700 on Adiamor etc)

Great looking diamond in my opinion, melrose!
Crystal quality look great, cut precision looks tight, optics look fantastic.
