I’m looking for a lab diamond ~1.6 to 1.8c in the $3000 to $4000 sorta range and I’ve narrowed it down to these. Do they seem like decent options? Thanks very much!

Thanks!
I would skip the 1.61 F VS1 because it has a blue hue. All of the others look good and have different specs/prices, so it’d be up to you to decide which one best fits your budget.
You might also consider the option below, which would slot in between the 1.57 G VS2 and 1.64 E VS1 in terms of price, but hit the 1.6ct mark and bump the color up to D. The inclusion is out towards the edge at 8 o’clock – it’s very fine and could also be put under a prong.
