Which company?

Which online company is best to buy lab created diamonds from?

D.NEA Diamonds are great to deal with (from my personal experience).
Other people have bought from Genesis and Chatham, but it's harder to buy direct. Chatham you have to go through a dealer, which is reflected in the price. And Gemesis has a fairly limited selection of colours.

Are you looking for anything in particular?

There's only a few growing anymore. Gemesis, D.NEA, Takara. As periwinklegirl says, Chatham may be out there but I don't see anywhere to buy them.

Gemesis is the only one growing whites in any quantity. Assuming you want the stone in some sort of setting, you might start by finding a jeweler that deals with synthetics and can get your setting.

Actually D.NEA now has tons of whites in inventory. Also they often have smaller stones not listed on their website. Whenever I need side stones or melee, I just email Eric and ask what he's got.

Can you give us an idea of what you're looking for? White or coloured?

Ooh! (Goes to look at the whites.)

If you send a nice email to SCIO through their website, they may send you their current gemstone inventory. They are primarily an industrial manufacturer but from time to time they get gem-quality stones. Mostly RBCs less than 1 ct in white or olive/yellow hues. Very little pink, blue, etc. They don't certify them but they do get GIA to assess dimensions, depth, etc.

I just contacted them about a stone they have listed, and was told they couldn't get me pics. Don't they have the stones in-house?
