I hope everyone is doing well. I'm in the market for a pear cut lab-grown diamond and have narrowed down my search based on the following specifications:
1. Carat Weight: 2.5 to 3.5 carats.
2. Color: F or higher.
3. Clarity: Eye clean, VS2 or better.
4. Length to Width Ratio: Between 1.58 and 1.65.
5. Minimal Bowtie: I'm looking for a stone with a minimal bowtie effect.
6. Type: Preferably CVD Type IIA.
7. Polish and Symmetry: Excellent.
8. Budget hard limit for loose diamond: $1200, though cheaper is nicer right now.
While I feel confident in finding diamonds that meet these specifications, I'm still new to assessing some quality aspects. I've come across terms like mushy facets and light leakage but am not entirely sure how to identify these issues or understand their impact on the diamond's overall appearance.
I would greatly appreciate any advice, tips, or specific Diamond recommendations. I have a month or two to keep looking.
Currently the plan for the ring is white gold or platinum. And solitaire or pave. Though my girlfriend has continued to share some more custom settings with me.
Thanks for your time and help.
