Solitaire setting/Diamond size

[LTCT814]

I think they'll perform very similar...I do think the 2.39 may have a bit cleaner CVD material, but hard to conclude without seeing them.

@DejaWiz Thank you, again, for sharing you knowledge. As a follow up, I received the 2.30 RB today - videos below. I personally think it's beautiful, but I'm concerned it looks a tad small? I'm fully aware of how crazy I sound, but when looking at other diamonds on people who have a similar size ring size as I do (4.5) they always appear much larger than the one I received. Is the loose stone creating an optical illusion? Will it appear larger once set? Would love to hear everyones thoughts on this diamond - love it/hate it? Is it garbage?

Have I completely lost my mind? Most likely..

If these videos are terrible let me know and I'll try again.

@DejaWiz - What are your thoughts on ovals? I've always liked them and they seem to be easier to select than an emerald since they perform like a RB..

If you want to try bigger, then definitely do so...I can recommend some more options in the 2.5/3.0+ carat range, if you'd like.
That 3.02 F VS1 looks to still be available at $2600.

@DejaWiz - Thank you! I'll take a look at that one again. 3ct might be too large, but 2.5-ish might be a good meet in the middle - https://www.ritani.com/products/2-4...r-vs1-clarity-gcal-330890015-sku-d-4vgo0ghctb

Curious to hear your thoughts on the 2.30 - I've also been looking at this oval which I placed on hold - https://www.ritani.com/products/2-5...-vvs1-clarity-gcal-330660255-sku-d-4vgo0gcfj3

I'm not liking either of these, unfortunately. The optics are a bit off with dull centers and indicators of leakage.

Here's the areas of concern with the RBC:

The proportions look perfect! Any florescence or post growth treatment?

None ..it's HPHT grown as-is

Whenever you are ready to buy, I will post the link. Or find me on Reddit and we can chat/message there. Keep the link out of the public eye so it doesn't get sniped away from you.

Yes! Will do! Thank you!
