Thoughts on these 4 lab diamonds?

[owttufmudayjvstcfusj]

All else being equal, which would be your top pick(s) among these? Planning to mount in a low-profile 18k yellow gold setting. I believe both the GCAL stones are CVD based on seeing some signs of grain pattern, and I'm finding it hard to tell whether either table is noticeably cloudy. IGI 593300085 appears the least "colorless" to my eye, possibly with slight brown tint?

I'm probably limiting myself by searching in an overly narrow range of crown/pavilion angles, but there are enough search results right in the TIC zone and that feels a bit safer to me.

Hello, owttufmudayjvstcfusj!
The last one would be my pick...it's an HPHT with no blue nuance, the proportions and angles look great, nice cut precision, and H&A designation on the grading report.

Yep, I was just about to post this! #4 all the way!

Thanks Deja, Kim, much appreciated!

I'll be sure to follow-up later in the lab-grown "show me the bling" thread.

Be fast to buy, but check LooseGrownDiamond pricing for the cert number (remove the LG from the from first)...then get your seller to price match.

Yep, I believe I got it!

The vendor I'm going through for the setting unfortunately wouldn't match the price on Loose Grown Diamond, and doesn't accept stones purchased elsewhere, but I've just chalked the price difference up to what will hopefully be a smoother experience than trying to have the setting replicated elsewhere. I've also asked for ASET images once the diamond is in their hands for added peace of mind.

Ugghh.

Seems I spoke too soon. Just received word that the jeweler I'm working with for the setting wasn't able to secure LG593300085 for me in time, so I'm back on the hunt for a replacement.
