I found the videos for all four:





I am not particularly keen on the grainy and hazy appearance of the 3.01 as depicted in the video.

Are you open to diamonds graded by IGI that have the Hearts and Arrows designation on the grading report (as long as the cut precision and optics are top-notch)?

Examples:

Yup, totally open to IGI that have H&A's designated on the grading report.

I edited my previous comment with a couple of examples at the bottom.
I can look for more options, if you'd like.

Oh, the 3ct is a beautiful find. Could you take a look for a few more options between 2.5 and 3ct? I think the 4ct is a tad too big ;-) It doesn't have to be this vendor, we're open to others.

@DejaWiz and @0-0-0 I think we're almost there. Our favourite stone so far is the 3ct that DejaWiz selected. Namely as it has fat H&A's and the table is small. Now the search continues for a slightly smaller stone 2.50 to 2.8 preferably, with a 55% or 56% table. Once there I think we'll have a winner!

YES, these are both beautiful @0-0-0 - do you have a preference for either one? @DejaWiz thoughts on either of these two?

Maybe the 2.66 E VVS2 just to have an actual record of growth method and inclusion plot?

Yup, this one was the winner! Yekutiel from ID Jewelry secured it for us and was even able to confirm it's a beautiful stone. He literally had it in hand! He was great to work with.

Thank you @0-0-0 and @DejaWiz for your assistance. I will come back and post once I have the stone and again once it's set.

@DejaWiz and @0-0-0 picked up the stone on Saturday afternoon and it’s a fireball. Great arrows photo with just my iPhone. Taking the stone in tomorrow to be set, will post more photos after that. IMG_6816.jpeg

Looks amazing! Can’t wait to see it set!

I’d check with Alex Park. Not sure if he has something that size in your budget but he’s picky about cut in both his lab and natural stones!



These are examples. I know he can get Hearts & Arrows too. Usually does IGI on his labs but will get a GIA for you if you want and will pay for it.
