1.28ct D VS1 Heart Lab Grown Diamond

About this 1.28ct lab-grown heart diamond

This 1.28ct lab-grown heart sits in the one-and-a-quarter to one-and-a-half carat band, graded D colour (colourless) and VS1 clarity (very-slightly-included), with a standard cut grade stated by the retailer rather than the lab and certified by GIA 5506701840. Listed at 6 retailers, with prices from $681 to $1,793 at Taylor and Hart, a $1,112 spread on the same certified stone. Cut grade matters more than carat or clarity for visible brilliance. If you can shift budget toward an Excellent or Ideal cut, do it before chasing higher colour or clarity.
