Hello Kim and Deja I was wondering your thoughts on this please (or anyone else! ) Also how would this compare to one of BGD premium Labs? THANK YOU!


 
Hello, jewels2!
It looks good from the numbers, but I do see some small flecks of obstruction or leakage in the rotational view.

Have you looked at Ritani for similar priced diamonds?


Here's a great example:
 
It's very well cut, just perhaps not quite as precise as a super ideal.

If you can share your budget, we can help you search.
 
Thank you both!

I wasnt sure if I wanted a 2 ct or not but I may have to order one and see :)

Kim, I was originally hoping to stay under $2300. I did just order a 1.631 from BGD to see IRL but am open to look at others. I am familiar with BGD so I felt comfortable ordering even though I am aware I am likely paying a premium.

I did have a few in my cart at Ritani but they do not appear to have any Gcal graded
 
In the 1.7 range...


In the 1.85 range.


Above 2ct.

Thank you so much! Would these be considered Super Ideal ? Which is your favorite?

We can't assess for super ideal qualification without actual H&A images, but my favorites are:



 
Here are a few more to add to your comparison (and price/carat) list:

Thank you !! So obviously I can get a larger diamond for less money but cut/quality wise is it comparable to BGD Premium? Ill try and
attach the one I am having sent.

To be 100% sure, we'd need to see an ASET image and a hearts image, but I think the Ritani stones could come close enough that it'll be indistinguishable with the naked eye.

Am I able to request the images for any of those stones?

Yes, definitely ask. I don't know if Ritani is able to provide them on all stones, but sometimes they can.
 
Thoughts on this one? Is it worth the cost compared to any of the Ritani stones?


That's one beautiful diamond!
Keep in mind that you will have BG's full human vetting and upgrade program as a heck of a perk on his in-house lab grown diamonds (not applicable to his virtual inventory diamonds), whereas most other sellers don't have any kind of vetting and upgrade program for their LGDs.

Very true! Their upgrade policy does have one caveat: "...the trade-in value will be determined based on current market conditions for lab-grown diamonds."
