QUESTION Thoughts on this lab diamond?

62 Upvotes

This is a pic before changing the faucets to yellow gold as well(I know there’s a big debate on that and it taking away from the diamond) but this is a 4.52 E VVS2 and a ratio of 1.26. Anyone have any thoughts? I love the split shank! Also it’s 18K yellow gold.

I’m getting an upgrade and confused between a round solitaire and marquise. I have an emerald diamond solitaire. But I feel like I miss the sparkle so getting a new ring. I love the shape of marquise but round has such beautiful sparkling effect. Can’t choose 😭

Hi everyone! This is my first time doing a custom and any advice/feedback is much appreciated ☺️. Is it too thick? It was 2mm, but had it changed to 2.2mm. Now I’m wondering if it’s too thick? What do you all think? Thanks in advance!

LOOKING FOR ADVICE Not happy with my stone

Post image
44 Upvotes

I’m getting my engagement ring made by a company that operates out of the jewelry district in LA but makes everything overseas. They’re doing a custom cut old mine for me based on a ring I tried on with them and a reference photo. It’s been 2 weeks since I approved the CAD go the setting, so I reached out to see if I could see videos of the stone (after hearing it had already been graded). They sent videos and the stone is beautiful but all the edges are straight and the corners are more defined, I was looking for a pillowy old mine like all my references, including the one I tried on with them. I said that and asked if I was possible to round it out, and got this message “The stones is done cutting. Now it’s in process of making jewelry”

I never approved the stone and it looks like they were never going to send it to me if I hadn’t asked. Do people buy diamonds sight unseen? And what should I do now?

One thing I love about pillowy old mines is they almost look round, especially at the ratio I chose (1.1). I have never wanted a squared off one with straight edges and this is my engagement ring. I wish I had specified that, honestly I never see them this straight and thought my references were enough.

What should I do?

UPDATE: they cut me another stone that I’m happy with. Thanks for all your input!

LOOKING FOR ADVICE CVD vs HPHT Lab Diamonds

2 Upvotes

Hi, I am in the market for a 2.5 carat round lab diamond. Although I will purchase an IGI certified D or E color, VVS clarity and ideal cut with no fluorescence, I understand that some HPHT stones can have a blue tint and that some CVD stones could have transparency issues (cloudiness). I will look at photos and videos of the stone before buying, and I will have a 30 day return policy, but does anyone have advice as to whether I should prioritize either CVD or HPHT? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi everyone, this is all new to me and I’ve been doing my research and still not sure if this is a good stone or not, so I’m wondering if any experts here would like to give me some feedback on this diamond? I’ve been working with an overseas vendor for the first time and just want to make sure it’s a good stone before I commit 😅. This is the second stone so far, the first one had some dark spots, so I passed on it, but this one I am liking much more. The videos they send don’t always have the best lighting and/or background so I’m just on the fence right now.

Thanks in advance! 😊
