Please, give me your opinion on this canary cushion diamond

[dkata]

I have seen someone posted a beautiful ring with a canar yellow lab diamond on Reddit. The stone was from a vendor, I haven't heard before, now I have looked through their website several times. I have found 2 stones I like. I don't want to post a direct link to the stones, but I post the loupe360 videos:

Could you give me please your opinion? I try to avoid greenish-yellow stones, because I don't like them, and I try to keep the price for a 3 ct. stone under 1.500 USD.

Is one of them a good stone, or could I find any better?

I really like the 3.08. I think the color is very pretty and bright. What are your plans for this stone?

I can't comment on any lab-related issues (because I'm not good at detecting those).

I would like to wear it as a ring. It’s just absolutely hard to decide, which stone to get, because returning it from Europe is no option for me.

I’m still undecided regarding setting. I’m considering a thin wg halo setting, or just a wg pave band and the stone in a yellow gold basket.
These are my ideas:


I just really crave a glowy yellow stone on my hand, my own sunshine.

I have found one more option for a stone:

I like this new one you posted, too.

Returning can be a pain when you live in the US. I can't imagine what a pain it is when you live in Europe!

I tend to favor halos on color stones for the contrast...but that's me. What do you see yourself wearing? Do you
plan on an everyday ring or for special occasions?

Considerations to keep in mind, as only you know what is right for you!

Yes, return is absolutely not an option because of 20% import tax in my country.

Regarding setting: I have really a lot of rings, and I rotate them quite frequently. This would be no special occasion ring, just a ring to make me smile. I would mainly wear it in summer, I just like yellow diamonds in summer.

I have already a pink lab diamond ring in a halo, and I love it. The reason for haloing it was mainly, that it was not big enough for a solitaire for my taste. Lab diamonds just spoiled me, and made my DSS much worse!

I love colored stones in halos too, because they just pop better, but if I find a big enough yellow cushion, I may put it in a solitaire setting with a pave band.

I wrote to the vendor and asked for more videos of the 2 bigger stones. Now, I just wait…

Post the videos if you can!

I really like that 3.08 vivid, I'd jump at that, I think it's better in color and cut character and could stand on its own even without a halo.

Hi everyone!!
A word of caution….
The rotating videos have proven to be unreliable in the case of yellow labs.
Many times I’ve picked a stone based on the video only to rejects it once I’ve seen it in real life.
Much more difficult than colorless in this regard.
I’d ask for an actual tweezer video
