I've concluded I probably won't ever be able to justify buying a 4ct+ emerald cut, DEF VVS mined diamond for an alternate ER, so I'm curious to see how LGDs are priced. Anyone know if any good vendors or websites for my search? I'm just looking to research and learn at this point, as I realize pricing may come down quite a bit as technology improves.

I know a lot of people on PS use James Allen (good return policy, can request limited asets, etc) and they carry some larger stones: https://www.jamesallen.com/loose-di...S2,VVS1,IF,FL&CaratFrom=3.7&IsLabDiamond=True

But for that size I might enlist the help of a more concierge service - looks like @Rhino has one! https://www.distinctivegem.com/pages/rhinos-diamond-concierge

Thanks! For some reason when I was searching yesterday on James Allen there were no results, but your link worked! Looks like cost is between $20-30K. Seems steep (for me) for LGD...

There's not as many nice lab ECs around as they're a bit popular but Rare Carat has a fair few listed in the 4+ size. Not all are nice and you're looking at $15+ for something decent. Ouros might be a good choice.

Frank Darling sourced a very large and gorgous lab grown emerald for someone here.

I'd third Jon at Distinctive Gems, he did a wonderful job sourcing two ideal lab grown diamonds within my desired specs and budget.

Diamonds by Lauren might also be able to help, they sold this one for $20k (which seems reasonable to me) - http://www.diamondsbylauren.com/index.php/jewelry/416ct-e-vvs2-emerald-lgd-r9632
