Do we have empirical evidence for that or just Ada Diamonds' word?HPHT Diamonds in comparison often have a blue (to most people undesireable tint).
Looks perfekt! And the graininess is really not an issue with your diamond!
@muesli I really think that when that diamond arrives you are going to see nothing but sparkle. It is beautiful!! There is an incredible difference between what we see in these enormous images compared to what we see in real life.

Well a few GIA research papers have said the same thing. And I’ve found a few HPHT Diamonds with blue nuance in the cert.?
But is it 'undesirable'?
Thank you!
The thing is that I bought a AVR lab diamond (its getting set now, have not seen it irl) and it has some graininess in the video, not much, but its present.
I asked Jonathan about it and he told me that my diamond is fine. That feels good to hear, and the cut is stunning, but I can't seem to shake my "stria concerns" off....I'm just so scared that it will be anticlimactic when it gets here (I'm in Europe) and this is my engagement ring that I don't plan to upgrade, so I do feel a bit stressed to be honest (my fiance aswell, he just wants me to be happy).
Jonathan has been awesome, super friendly and approachable, and I went with him because of how many members here who were happy with his stones.
Maybe I'll just write him again, stating my concerns, but I don't really know what to do.
Thanks for reading.
I'm so happy you created this thread, @m1918! I've been following August Vintage for a while (now Distinctive Gem?). My future sister-in-law is interested in MMD, and I know Jonathan's reputation in this industry is impeccable. BUT, I did notice the same hazy stria on videos lately. My SIL isn't an "upgrade" kind of girl, so I want to get this right the first try. Following these discussions closely
High pressure sales... felt uncomfortable was able to find a better diamond at less cost with DNEA... our experience was just too ‘salesy’ made us uncomfortable and lost confidence in the diamond
The average consumer wants a diamond. They want it to look like a diamond. A normal diamond. A diamond with a slight blue tint is not what most people are looking for. So they should be aware. My point was to illustrate that both CVD and HPHT have their „problems“.
Is that the lab diamond?
That diamond is a knockout!
Stunning! And look at those itty bitty claws! *drool*
So Stunning !! He knows his diamonds and how to pick the perfect one!
I'm working with Jon (Rhino) right now, my Ering is an oval can't wait for end design .
