I was just trying to compare lab grown blue diamonds for a ring idea and I didnt expect it to be this confusing. A bunch of sites show the same few shades over and over, and then some have lots of options but the photos look weirdly different depending on the screen. I keep wondering which website has the best selection of lab grown blue diamonds right now? Like not just one or two decent stones, but actually a range of sizes and colors that feel real. Maybe I am missing something obvious, but it all kinda blends together after a while.

So one thing I didn't realize until we started actually shopping is that emerald cuts are generally less expensive per carat than round brilliants. Like significantly so in some cases. We basically got a larger looking stone for less and I am not mad about it at all.
My fiance loves it and I loved blowing our entire budget on just the ring when we have a whole wedding plan. I feel like this cut is kind of underrated from a value standpoint and people don't talk about it enough in budget wedding spaces. Did anyone else stumble onto this and factor it into there decision?
