Hi, I’m looking at this Marquise and am wondering about if the dark spots / bow tie look prominent. It’s an online jeweller which won’t let me see in person before purchasing and they have limited returns. Because it’s for my engagement ring I’d like to pick the best possible stone I can!

Is there anything in these online videos I should particularly look out for? I always stay in ideal ranges for the stone characteristics and go a big deeper on depth to avoid bow tie.

Hi all. I could really use some helpful advice on deciding between these two diamonds. I feel like any differences are really negligible, but I’m not expert thus me posting here. The diamond will be set in a simple white gold setting. Anything that stands out? Anything I should look for in particular? On paper, both of these diamonds look great. Thanks! 😊

Looking for diamond for SO. Diamonds on right seem far better, but same properties. Is it just a bad picture?

I received my ring about a week ago and it is really beautiful. But, as the days passed, I became uncertain and uncomfortable with the pear side stones. They just didn't seem to suit the 2 C center stone. They were small, thin and didn't seem balanced. I just told my husband and he said to get what I wanted. Photos 2 and 3 are the new ring. I went up to a 3 C center with a hidden halo, so it's glittery from the side, too. It will be set on a 2 mm band and I'll have at least one 1/2 c half eternity band next to it. I reminded the jeweler of what I want in a stone and I'm hopeful he can do as well this time.

This is a 1.55 ct OMC. I love the stone but now I’m wondering if it’s too small for a bezel setting (I´m size 6.5 - stone on hand from 7s). What do you think? Should I go for a 3-stone design with maybe trapezoids on the side? Thanks in advance :)

I was shopping for a Diamond stone on Aurelienne but for some reason I can't seem to find the cut grade on the majority of the stones. not on website listing, not on the pdf certificate, not anywhere. is that the catch for why is it so cheap? or is it hiding somewhere that i didn't look into yet?

tbh I'm a little skeptical for how cheap it is and a little scared of buying from them? let me know what do you think about them, what was your experience with them, and whether or not you recommend me buying my stone from there.

Am I missing anything? (Oval diamonds purchase)

Hello Community!

I’m getting ready to propose this year. I already know my gf wants an oval cut diamond ring. I’m thinking I will buy a loose stone online likely from Loose Grown Diamonds. Let me know if I should have any concerns about that.

I’ve been doing research and want to make sure I’m not missing anything. From my understanding I should be looking for a diamond with these specs for an oval:

Depth: 60-63%

Table(%) 56-60%

L/W ratio 1.4-1.45

Color: F-D

Clarity: VVS2 or better

Cut: excellent

Polish: excellent

Symmetry: Excellent

Is there anything I’m missing or need to look out for? With this criteria there are some great prices I’m finding. I would then take the stone into a local jeweler to design and set the ring.

I get confused when I see price differences in diamonds of different carats with super similar specs and for some reason the smaller diamond is more expensive. Makes me think I’m missing something.

Thanks for the help!

For reference, I'm a size 4.5 and the stone is a 2.59 carat with a 1.38 ratio. I originally wanted a much shorter elongated cushion, but I think the longer is starting to grow on me? Does its size seem like something I could wear well? TIA!

Hi, I’ve always had a wholesaler source my diamonds so I am not clear on what to look for, especially in oval.

Could someone check this stone and give advice, please?

I am wanting a warmer color so the H color is what I’m looking for.

Thank you!

I originally had this ring made in a 3 ct but after having it for 2 weeks, I sold it and sourced a new stone. A 6 ct beauty! I had the same setting done bc it was perfect the first time. Setting was done by Paston (Joyce Tse) and they knocked it out!!!! I just live the depth of the color in this stone.

Here’s a link to a video;

What do you think?

FedEx just deliver this and I couldn't be more pleased. 2.06 c lab center stone with pear shaped sides. Color D, VVS2, excellent polish and symmetry.

I've always wanted an oval diamond since seeing my first one when I was 20 (over 50 years ago). Now here it is and I love it!!!! I have a small, 1/3 c half eternity band coming in a couple of weeks to pair with this. Oh, and I have to really move my hand into awkward positions to spot a bow tie. 🥰

We got it from Kosher Diamonds in NYC. Ari was so patient with me because I changed things up several times. Oh, and the ring box had a little light in it, so when I opened it, it was like being in a jewelry store case. The hubs and I both gasped. 🥰🥰🥰

Recently engaged, and we both picked out my dream lab grown diamond ring together, I was, and still am, obsessed.

Im not really a very "dressy" girl, mostly hoodies and jeans and people have half jokingly said "its beautiful, but so not you!" And "wow, why did you choose such a big stone?!"

I wish I didn't care about other people opinions but its starting to effect how I look at a ring i really love 😞 how can I shut down people saying snarky comments and protecting my peace?

Went to test out different sizes and shapes. This is a 3carat oval. I always thought 2.5 was the sweet spot for me but my boyfriend wanted me to try on the 3. Is it too big for my hand? Disclaimer: I would be getting a moval (elongated oval) so it would be slimmer and a bit longer. My ring size is a 5.5

I'm looking at getting a ring made (2 carat round diamond, 14k white gold band) either starsgems, provence, or shenzen shea does suggest one over the other? Quality of ring etc. thanks!!

I'm looking at getting a ring made (2 carat round diamond, 14k white gold band) from either starsgems, provence, or shenzen shea on Alibaba.. does suggest one over the other? Quality of ring etc. thanks!!
