About this 2.97ct lab-grown oval diamond

This 2.97ct lab-grown oval sits in the two to three carat band, graded G colour (near-colourless) and VVS1 clarity (very-very-slightly-included), with a very-good cut grade and certified by IGI LG816688286 or 816688286. Listed at 4 retailers as of October 28, 2026, with a 592% spread between the cheapest and most expensive listing. That is exactly the kind of price-discovery gap Carat Hunter was built to surface. 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.
