hi.. I’m looking to buy a round lab solitaire diamond. With so many options- it can get hard to filter through them all. Ideally looking for VVS2 or higher. Near colorless. Ideal cut. My girlfriend who I’m buying the ring for is pretty petite (4’11) Size 5 finger. I’m thinking in the ball park of 1.5 carats would be nice. Give or take. I’ve been looking at diamonds on rare carat.. as I found a setting on there I like. But I’ve also looked at loosegrowndiamond.com and diamond procing is significantly cheaper on there. Any guidance and suggestions would be amazing. I’ve looked at so many and have compared and read “ideal specs” but I’m sure there are other things that an expert eye could help with if you’d be willing to!
I found this table on Reddit that I’ve also been trying to pay attention to when looking.
Table: 57 to 58%->ideal 58
Depth: 61 to 62.5% ->ideal 62
Crown angle: 34 to 35-> ideal 35
Pavillion angle: 40.6 to 41 ->ideal 41
Girdle: thin to medium ->ideal med (3.5%)
Culet: none/pointed
Cut: excellent
Symmetry: excellent
Polish: excellent
