Twin HCA 1.1 studs!

[drvt]

I was extremely lucky and found two nearly identical lab grown diamonds. Both IGI certified, VVS2, D color, N fluor, ideal/excellent, medium girdle, HCA 1.1, and StoneAlgo 9.9!

How’d I do?

It’s hard to tell without videos. Numbers only tell a part of the overall picture. We use videos to check for tinge, pavilion twist, graining and other things. But you’re off to a good start!

Here’s a 360!

The IGI reports didn’t have videos attached, unfortunately, if the 360 isn’t good enough.

Are you happy with them? Would you return them if anything was found to be lacking? Or are you wanting validation for your purchase?

If you’re happy, that’s the most important thing.

Many stones have highly magnified 360 videos of each stone separately. But not all.

If you’re happy and videos aren’t readily available, may as well just leave well enough alone.

The stones seem great to me, but the settings could’ve been better. The rings on the baskets aren’t completely parallel, and because of that the attachment points of the prongs differ a bit – I don’t know if this is common, but it’s certainly something that can’t be seen when worn. Perhaps someday we’ll decide on different settings anyway.

Should I be concerned about the settings, or is it difficult to get custom baskets perfect?
