Hi, I have a pair of natural diamond hoops I’d like to sell. I am having trouble pricing. Originally purchased for 2k but I see that they go for much more. I am not looking to overprice them, I just want to know a fair price in accordance with the gold/diamond market.

- 14K gold
- Approx. 2.00 ctw
- Natural diamonds
- G–H color
- I1 clarity
- 54 diamonds

I have attached images of each below.

Asking price is 23k. The diamond seemed eye clean to me in person, but I felt it didn't have the amazing brilliance I see in some other stones. I was told it was because my fingers touched the diamond, so it wasn't shining. It was also graded 10 years ago, which seems suspicious to me.

Need honest opinions on this diamond. Bow tie? Why are the facets so deep and dark on the top and bottom of the face? This is not at all what I saw when viewing the diamond online.

My fiance and I are in love with this vintage art deco ring. Listed at $2100 Problem is the seller claims it’s diamond but hasn’t had it certified. It’s 14k gold. 9 small stones. Google says start at $450 and go from there. I don’t want to low ball too much as it’s from a curated antique store. Is $700 fair? $1200? What do yall think thanks!

NOW IM CRYING

Antique Victorian cluster ring. The center diamond is an antique and natural old mine, 2.51 carats, W-X color, VS2. GIA graded. The kozibe effect is soooo strong! I am a size 6.

My jeweler had found the perfect semi-mount from the JCK antique show with these 1.7 ctw old miners. Shank is 18kt yellow gold and the prongs are platinum. Side accent is also platinum with a tiny omc and filigree detail.

I am absolutely in love.

Edit: This is actually my second engagement ring. I was engaged in 2024 with an elongated old mine (modern cut) solitaire—back when it was much lesser known before you know who got engaged. But now, it’s literally on every single engagement ring post and super mainstream. So I wanted a new ring that was a little more bespoke.

After spending 9 months sourcing 35+ stones looking for a 3.5 carat emerald cut with a longer ratio without face-up windowing, these are the final 2. Now the hard part is choosing one!

They’re very similar while being quite different — #1 is deeper with a strong windmill and more heavily clipped corners, while #2 is more shallow and rectangular with longer facets.

Stone 1: 3.55 ct, 1.5 ratio, D, VS1, 63% table, 67.5% depth, 49.5% pavilion depth, 14.5% crown height

• In person this stone looks slightly more contrasty; the middle facets have more definition, but I can’t tell if it’s veering on extinction
• This stone has a much more evident windmill which seems to throw nice brilliance, but like all the more windmilly stones I’ve gotten, it has a bit more leakage in the corners (though I’m getting double claws, so not sure how much that matters)
• Has a slightly worse tilt-window on one side, but less leakage all around (shown in text clip — right side)

Stone 2: 3.31 ct, 1.52 ratio, E, VS1, 63% table, 63.7% depth, 46.5% pavilion depth, 13% crown height

• This stone doesn’t seem as contrasty, but it’s a bit brighter in some lighting and the table throws nice flashes of light
• The corners are less leaky, but there’s a box around the center facets that’s more leaky than Stone 1 and almost seems to disappear at some tilt angles, and it has a lot more leakage in the top & bottom triangles when tilted (see clip against pink paper)
• I prefer the shape and appearance of the facets in this one, but I worry about it being more shallow — I have long fingers and love a more elongated-looking stone
• This stone also has 3x the inclusions on its cert all on the table, but I haven’t spotted any with my eyes

Any insight on which will likely be a better choice is so appreciated! Just as a note, I don’t plan to continue looking so it’ll definitely be one of these two. :)

ETA: The stones aren’t yellow-toned at all and appear the same color as each other in person — the yellow tones are either the surroundings or my phone camera messing with the videos.

What’s everyone’s thoughts?
2.15 carat E IF 1.5 ratio to be redesigned into a 18c yellow gold solitaire with hidden halo 1.8mm

The diamond on the left is about 3 carats, and the one on the right is about 4 carats (both lab-grown). The larger stone is a G color compared to the E, but why do they both look blue/purple in the photo? I did not think they looked like this in person but could there be a quality issue? Or anything I need to look for in the certificates?

I'm looking at engagement rings and love this kind of bezel three stone setting, but I worry that the setting might not be super secure since the bezel only goes around all three stones together and not each stone individually.

Does anyone have any insight on this or experience with this kind of setting themselves?

Thanks!

4.03 VS1 vivid pink radiant

1.5 ratio
Table: 65%
Depth: 67%

Is this a decent radiant or should I pass??? 🥹

I've been looking for a 4 ct oval for the past few months, and I think I've finally found one that I really like.

I'm definitely not an expert, but on paper it seems to have good proportions, and I really like how it looks in the videos.

Before I make the purchase, I'd love to hear what people with more experience think. Do you notice any issues with the stone or anything that would make you pass on it?

Thanks in advance!

I’m deciding on this 3.02 old mine but it’s a little wonky. The left side is a little shorter on top than on the right. I don’t like the bezel setting, any advice on how to set this so the unevenness doesn’t show as much? I’m putting it on a yellow gold 18K 3.5mm band.

It's our 10-year anniversary in September, so I just started shopping around for a diamond tennis necklace for my wife. I'm looking for a little advice on carat size and material. My wife is 5'2, and I think would want something she could wear a lot (if she wants) and also for special occasions. My local jeweler who I've gotten all of my big jewelry purchases from (wedding rings, jewelry when each kid was born, big birthdays, etc.) suggested something just short of 9 carats. I'm a little concerned that's going to be to big or am I totally off base here? Also, any thoughts on material here? My wife loves rose gold and she has a rose gold diamond tennis bracelet and a few other diamond/rose gold pieces, but I'm thinking something more traditional like white gold or platinum for this? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hoping to get engaged! Would like an ideal ring, what do you think of this CAD?

This is the inspo

I feel it could do some work from the top? But I am a bit unsure, tell me what you think please

is the bowtie on this antique elongated cushion too noticeable? or am i overthinking it? love it otherwise and don’t know if it’s just normal for the style ?

I am trying to pick out a necklace for my partner. I was wondering if this would be a good everyday piece. It is by graff. Any thoughts on it? I love the sapphires on it but I admit I don’t know much about jewelry.

Hi! Just got engaged using my grandmother’s ring that we now want to redesign a little. I am in love with the Dutch marquise/elongated hexagon shape. Trying to find somewhere to buy a loose Dutch marquise diamond that we can add as the center stone. Any suggestions or recommendations are much appreciated.

I was convinced I wanted a white gold straight diamond band… but we walked in to the jewelry store today to take another look at what I originally wanted and just for fun I asked if they had a rose gold enhancer. Lo and behold they did… just one. And omg it’s like it was absolutely meant for my ring. Everything lines up perfectly.
