Lab Diamonds
4.2
(13)
"Now, you can get a real 2C lab diamond with respectable attributes set in a 14k ring for a $1k."
"Got a 3.86 VS1 F elongated cushion for about $2800 in the NYC diamond district."
"The lab diamonds would absolutely sparkle more."
"Try /r/labdiamond."
"Great product lab diamonds, but retailers are really ripping off consumers."
"Lab diamonds are still subject to the same cut criteria as mined ones."
"LOTS of places have lab diamonds for far less than $8000 if you look past the top google results of Brilliant Earth and James Allen."
"I would say do your research with local jewelers."
"If the brilliance is the same, I would opt for the bigger size, but you can’t really go wrong with either."
"I'd go for the bigger one if the tint doesn't bother you and you're going to set it in a warm metal."

Calavera
4.1
(11)
"I did Calavera for the stone and Goodstone for the ring! It’s in production now, but the loose stone was gorgeous!"
"Calavera new york for diamond if you want to get it set locally."
"I went with Calavera new york for diamond and provence for the ring."
"Calavera sent out a new one that is an e when my original was an f. It was a more expensive stone and I did not have to pay for the better quality."
"Calavera with the best prices. But then you’ll have to set it separately- it’s a hassle. But it’ll save you $$$."
"Calaveranewyork.com"
"Calavera i find has the best right now"
"Calavera New York is the cheapest online for stones."
"Calavera is legit. Brilliance price matched them, called and spoke to them to make sure they were real."

Rare Carat
4.6
(7)
"I second rare carat. I had them price match my diamond with LGD. I also found the setting (platinum pave) to be much less than other places I was considering."
"Agree to this - Rare carat for a price match to loose grown diamonds!! Rare carat is in the US and has a ton of setting options."
"Rare carat will price match other vendors' lower prices on stones such as calavera or loose grown diamonds."
"Rare Carat"
"I purchased from rare carat recently and didn't find LGD to be that much lower for GIA like maybe $300 less. So I ended up buying IGI."
