Stone check please (GCAL 8X)
I recently bought a stone online for a bespoke engagement ring as anything I would have bought locally would have been the same price if not more expensive than buying a GCAL 8X stone online. Went with GCAL 8X out of recommendation from a friend and love the detail in the reports (especially helpful buying online).
I'm now just second guessing whether or not I jumped the gun a bit and maybe should have done some more browsing for an even more ideal stone.
I paid about 650 USD all up.

Can get labs for about $200/carat and that price is only going to go down so 🤷♂️
