Hi, as very new to the lab grown diamonds, and living in Europe less of a store choice, I have been looking online.
I was looking at 2-2.5ct D colour Ideal cut or better. For diamonds on both sites with IGI certs, Ritani is about €4000 cheaper. Am I totally missing something here, or is this actually ok.
Putting links to two as an example.



Thanks for any input

The ritani stone is a hot mess of a cut (sorry, but I need to be blunt). The JA one isnt my favorite, but its significantly better cut. So the comparison isnt apples to apples

Ritani does tend to be more affordable, and James Allen a bit pricier.

These two stones would be a better comparison.

Sorry, I should have said that JA is definitely pricier than Ritani. But that a 4k difference is likely due to cut issues rather than simply a case of JA being expensive
