Or how do I “find” it? What do I search by?
 
Posted it before I saw yours. Thank you so much
 
Thank you for sharing the stone, but on two different websites the photo shows it as a round diamond, but it’s described as a marquise. I’m going to take a step back from all of this for tonight and see what Dan tells me tomorrow about the stone that some of you said has visible haze. If Dan doesn’t think it’s going to adversely affect the look of the diamond I’m going to proceed with the purchase and, if I love it, I’m keeping it and thank you all for everything. If I don’t love it, I’ll return it to Dan and ask all of you to help me resume this apparently never-ending search.

The GIA grading report associated to the laser inscribed diamond states that it is a round brilliant diamond. :)
 
PS diamond search has the HPHT 2.13 D as as Round as does blue nile and B2C..... I'm strictly camp natural but have to say it's a great looking LGD... see the BN zoom spin....

Given your ample budget and realistic size, Dan really shouldn't be even considering CVD's - HPHT is more expensive to produce does have much more realistic "look"...

BY the way, Concierge should have access to to the same lab diamond so you could just have them call it in (LG6485703924) and set...

I 100% agree - plenty of budget for clean HPHT and lots of them out there (fair amount with GIA+AGS reports), so zero reason to settle on a grainy CVD diamond.
 
Thank you for sending that diamond, but the photo shows it as a round and the specs/measurements showed as a marquis. I’m just going to hope that my original diamond doesn’t visibly show strain. But that brings me to my next question. I understand CVD diamonds can be treated with HTHP to improve the appearance of strain, although I understand that could lead to milkiness. My question is, is that process done when the diamond is in the rough? Or after it’s been cut? In other words, would Dan be able to improve the diamond’s appearance, if necessary?
 
To be honest, I'm very confused by your attachment to this stone. You can find a million better stones in your budget, as shown above. You simply can do better, so why worey about if someone can do a treatment to the stone now? I don't think treatment is done after cutting anyway, but even if it were, why risk it?

Are you worried about hurting the vendors feelings? If yes, he's a businessman and honestly won't care if you want a different stone. It's not personal, it's a sales relationship.
 
The nature of CVD growth method creates the strain so can't be fixed....in person w/o magnification can you see a difference ? I think I could but who knows ???
but in the magnify images and loop videos it's pretty obvious which is the better.. Plus the GIA is a D color....

Like i said - Concierge can get the GIA HPHT so why bother with the CVD ??
If your really like Dan / don't want to hurt feelings just offer to pay him the add'l upcharge to cover Concierge's desired profit margin $ + his sales commision and get the better one....

No, a jeweler won't be able to improve color and clarity without having about $800,000-2,000,000 worth of HPHT equipment on hand...yes, ironically, CVD diamond rough gets put into HPHT equipment to improve their color and clarity. Besides, I don't think a finished diamond would even be subjected to such torturous post-growth treatment since it'll have to be recut and polished.

We have provided you proof that getting a clean HPHT diamond with GIA+AGS is well within your budget. If you are locked into buying from your jeweler, then put him to work and demand better for your hard earned money.

He even said that this CVD diamond was in hand at a US supplier so it seems to me that he's taking the fast and easy approach to pop a quick sale and likely make a lot of profit off of you since it isn't a great diamond and I am going to assume that both he and his supplier know it isn't a great diamond...it was listed for $900 at one of the more pricey online sellers, which leads me to believe that it was listed inside the $500-700 realm at one of the lowest priced sellers.

Assumptive scenario: It probably went on memo/call-in with one of your jeweler's competitors, deemed to have lousy CVD material and rejected, then got sent back to the supplier that they both utilize.

Please, have the discussion with your jeweler that this diamond is now off your list of possibilities due to *serious* CVD material defect concerns and you want to step up to a high quality Type IIa HPHT diamond that is (or equivalent to, if IGI or GCAL) GIA graded with the AGS Light Performance addendum.

If a site like LooseGrownDiamond, Adiamor , Ritani can sell you one within your budget, then so can you jeweler because those online sellers employ a fair amount of people on payroll and have physical facilities and all the costs to do business to pay for, as well. :)
 
I’m a little concerned as Dan has been very helpful. My budget could be stretched to $1200, but really $1000 is all it was hoping to spend. I’ll probably be speaking with him in a couple of hours and I will certainly ask him about this latest one. For some reason, the last post got cut off and I can’t figure out what the whole post said. But I do thank everyone and I will certainly call on my Pricescope pals if I still need assistance. It’s not that I was so attached to the other stone. It’s just that this process is starting to wear me down a bit. Since Friday when I first spoke to Dan about this stone, I’ve learned so much more.

The lowest price I can find this diamond
LG 6485703924 is $1306, and really my budget is more realistically $1000. I could stretch it a maybe a couple hundred, but I really didn’t want to spend more than $1000. But am I correct in that all of you very helpful folks think I should be asking Dan for a type IIa HTHP diamond with the AGS light performance addendum? Did I get all this right?
 
if it makes you feel better - in a natural you'd be looking at $50k :)

@Chelsea Palmer the smart thing to do is listen to our very knowledgeable @DejaWiz and @freddyboston who have nothing to gain but satisfaction in helping you find the best stone in your budget. Dan at Concierge may be very nice but he is marking up stones that the other recommended vendors sell for less. That may place many nice stones out of your price range. Paying a higher commission at Concierge for the exact same stone elsewhere doesn’t make sense.
 
Thank you, freddyboston. My other concern is that I already attempted to purchase a diamond from Dan, that I didn’t even put on pricescope, and Dan said a different diamond was sent. So I guess my thought is since he has the one I did post on pricescope, I don’t have to worry about it not being available if I want to purchase it. But when I talk to him later today, I will ask him about this one. You’ve all been very helpful.

Here's one that is closer to your $1K cap priced at $1050 = GIA graded, no AGS addendum, but it would definitely pop AGS Ideal based on what I'm seeing in the video:

Loupe360

Also mention this one to Dan to see if he can get his hands on it for you in rapid fashion.
 
Thank you. I couldn’t figure out which spec was for the depth, but this does look lovely too. But I didn’t see the price in loupe360. Am I missing it somehow?

Loupe360 shows the 360° rotational video only since they are not a seller.
You'll need to search the grading report number at LooseGrownDiamond to see the price that I found it for, then see what Dan can do to get it for you.
 
Someone recommended GIA grading report 6485703924. The good news is Dan is able to procure this stone. So he will have both the original, grainy one and now this one. And if neither of these work out I’ll ask him about the last stone recommended in this thread. Thank you!

Post #32 :)
Glad that Dan was able to call it in for you!
 
Since my head is spinning from diamond overload (as if there could be such a thing!) this IS a good diamond?
 
Stonealgo visual carat estimator doesn't work on this one since it's wrongly thinking it's a Marquis... The HCA is saying looks big for its weight...
