So I’ve been on the hunt for months now for an HPHT has grown diamond and I came across this one on with clarity currently 30% off originally priced at 4200. It’s down to 3000. Just looking for opinions if this is a solid purchase, thank you so much.

You will get better response if you post in the lab sub forum. Good luck!

Yes, and here's a link to the video:

The crown angle is a touch steep, but it may be fine since the pavilion depth is rounded to a slightly shallower 42.5%...it would lean towards more fire with the 40.6/35.9/54 combo - and that taller 16.5% crown height is pretty awesome.

Wow thanks so much for the 360 link and the thoughtful comments on the diamond the tall crown called out as well to me

You're very welcome.
Kim N, lovedogs, and anyone else: does this diamond appear to have slightly hazy LGD material?
 
Thank you so much for all your input. I have attached the link for one more of interest if anyone cares to comment on which one they like more and or the +\- of the two. Thanks again so much!

Since this is for a ring, I really prefer pavilion angles of 40.6-40.9. The 40.3 pavilion angle may result in over-obstruction, and the arrows are somewhat crowding the table.

Before you pull the trigger in it, see if there's anything here that jump out at you. You don't have to buy from this site, but they usually have a pretty up to date listing for diamonds in the same virtual inventory feeds that most online retailers pull from.

Thank you for the link! Any chance I can get your opinion on this one as well? The setting will be 14 karat yellow gold, so I think I could be OK. Going down the color scale a little bit.

kpm1028 great choices - neither have blue nuance.

The 3.39 H at $665/ct looks great!

The 3.00 G at $652/ct would also be a great choice...really loving the fiery proportions, smaller table, and tall crown!
Video:

Between the two, I'd choose the 3.00 for my own affinity towards those kinds of proportions, but there would be a sacrifice in noticeable size/spread.

Which one are *you* leaning towards?
 
The 3.0 G is closer to the first one I intended to go with the higher crown% and angle along with the smaller table all were qualities I liked from the first one.
 
Do you see anything clarity wise between the G/vs1 and the H/vvs2 that call out to you either positve or negative?

No concerns with clarity for either.
The H has the safer proportions out of the two, as the G might exhibit slightly more obstruction because of the slightly shallower pavilion angle.
Something to keep in mind as a possibility...but you can always return/refund/exchange if it does exhibit a touch of over-obstruction and you determine that it is bothersome.
 
After digging deeper into the ideal specs for the hearts and arrows I'm leaning towards the 3.39 H
 
@Kim N HIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!
