Hi, I’m looking to get a lab-created round diamond, and have a budget of $4k. After reading the various guides, and using the pricing charts, this one stood out:
Are there stronger choices for this price point? Anything I’m missing in the diamond above?
Looks good to me. There’s a small black crystal off the table at 7 o’clock but it’s about 0.08×0.16mm in real size terms, less than the width of a human hair, so it should be eye-clean. You might also consider the options below, which don’t have that black crystal. The first 1.3 D VS2 has the same spread (diameter) as the 1.35 D VS2, but a smaller black crystal in the table. The second 1.3 D VS2 has a slightly smaller spread by 0.07mm (negligible) and would be the cleanest in terms of no black inclusions.
