Opinions for a loose diamond

Peoplekind · Mar 24, 2023

Looking for a round lab diamond with GCAL X8 certification for an engagement ring in a classic 6-prong tiffany setting.

- Cut: This is what I researched that provides the best cut for the most sparkle (please correct me if I'm wrong)
- Table 54-57%
- Depth 59-62%
- Crown 32.5-36
- Pavilion 40.5-41.2
- Clarity: VS2 and above (eye clean)
- Colour: H and above
- Carat ~1.5

So far I found this one:

That's a beautiful stone, but it's not a GCAL 8x. How about this one?

Hi, Peoplekind!
What is your budget cap for just the loose diamond?

Txborn79 · Mar 24, 2023

Ritani is starting to carry more GCal 8X and will be cheaper than Adiamor. They don’t have pics/videos so you’d have to pull it up on the GCAL site

I have noticed that in the past couple of weeks. The only drawback is that most of them are CVD with some degree of internal graining.
Whether or not this is acceptable is going to be subjective.
GCAL 8X in D-E color HPHT can be more easily found at Adiamor and Frank Darling, but even those are seemingly scarce right now.

The 1.60 E definitely was GCAL 8x. Did you click on the GCAL link?

I like the 1.55 D the best of the three you posted.
