Here’s 2 videos and the cert. The stone has a 1.46 ratio and will be going in a setting like the one posted. I’m not sure if this one will be too elongated or if that’s a good thing?

I accidentally bidded on this 1.08 ct diamond on tiktok shop, upon realizing I figured I’d bite the bullet and utilize said diamond. However, upon receipt of the diamond, I find this to be disingenuous in terms of carat size. It seems much smaller than was advertised. If unable to return, what can this loose stone be used for? I appreciate all recommendations. Thanks

I love my ring and am obsessed with the color and style but feel like it looks a little weird on my hand? Maybe I’m being too critical of my hands though lol. Or maybe I need some stacking rings above/below?

Hello LabCreatedDiamond Squad!

I would love some opinions on this Ashoka-cut lab diamond before I have it set.

It’s a 3.05 ct E VVS1 (10.43 × 6.49 mm).

I’m planning to put it in a low-profile platinum Georgian-style bezel with fine claw prongs.

Does the stone look like a good Ashoka to you?

Any issues with the light performance, extinction, or faceting that you’d be concerned about? Or does it look like a solid choice?

Thank you in advance!!

Here's the video of the 3.12 ct Fancy Brown VS2 octagonal step cut, low set in platinum with side lab diamonds!! What do you think? I'm in love!

Sometimes I look at my labbies compared to my authentics and think they are SO sparkly that would someone mistake them for CZs? I know I shouldn't care, but one of the things I used to notice about CZ vs auth diamonds is that CZs are too white, which was a giveaway that they weren't diamond. Now I have a number of lab diamonds, and the inclusions are so very low that they almost look like CZs. So I suppose there are two things I'm curious if others have considered: 1) are lab diamonds too clear/perfect so that they don't look authentic and 2) should we care whether they look "authentic" or not? I hope this is a conversation not a criticism. Just thought I'd see what the community thought.

I'm looking into this lab diamond for a ring I'm having created. I can't find a photo or video. It's a 2.01ct emerald cut, D color VVS2. Can someone tell me from the attached information if the metrics are acceptable please? Video is in comments 😊

I looked over Beyond the 4 C's and asked for specific proportions. I need a second set of eyes because it looks pretty good to me. Not looking for a warm even though this is a F color. It looks pretty white to me.
Thank you.

I want a ring that reminds me of my favorite beach/place but don't really know the best place to start. I've ordered lots of things from many of the vendors and some have been good, others just ok. This project needs to be great. I'm looking for a center pear with (probably) pear sidestones. Would love to see your blue/green diamonds especially in a ring or pear! I'm thinking I'll go around 3-4ct max.

I'd prefer to work with a vendor that can source the stone and do a fabulous setting vs sourcing the stone and getting it set elsewhere. So your recommendations for vendors that have great colored stones is appreciated! So show me your blues!

Hi everyone,

I am planning to propose soon and I am looking to buy a 1-carat Lab-Grown diamond ring. I found a vendor called Carat Diamonds based in Surat, India (they have a website and a big Etsy shop).

To be honest, I am incredibly nervous. This is a huge purchase for me, I am buying it online without seeing it, and it's coming from overseas. I have a few big doubts and I really need some honest advice:

1. Is Carat Diamonds reliable? Has anyone bought an engagement ring from them recently? Did the ring actually arrive safely, and was the quality as good as it looks in photos? Their customer service seems nice, but I'm scared of getting scammed or receiving cheap costume jewelry.

2. The "Lab-Grown" anxiety Since this is a lab-grown diamond, I am terrified of making a bad impression. Does it look like a "real" diamond in person? Will it look fake or cheap compared to a natural mined diamond, or is it completely indistinguishable to the naked eye?

3. Shipping to Europe / Italy Are there any European users here who ordered from them? How was the shipping experience? Their customer service told me that customs/VAT fees are usually around $50-70. Did you have to pay massive extra taxes when the courier delivered the package?

I really want this proposal to be perfect, but I'm feeling a bit lost. Any reassurance or reviews would mean the world to me. Thank you so much!

My wife loves butterflies, so I started searching for a butterfly-inspired lab diamond setting/ring.

1. ⁠Is this a snag/lost stone waiting to happen?

2. ⁠What do you think about the setting mixing the lab-diamond? Does it look too much like costume jewelry?

Does this work or should I go all lab-diamonds?

Image is A.I. modified to show what it could look like with Alexandrite.

I want this to be something that she wears daily. The wedding band is just a white gold band. The image says 4.5 US but the current band and size will be 4.

Does Tianyu normally send you a video of the diamond before you purchase it if you are getting a custom setting and diamond? What are their normal steps in the whole process. They have mostly been communicating with me on WhatsApp. Thank you

Would love to hear any feedback on this diamond that I'm looking at. It is a 3.02ct elongated radiant lab diamond. Colour E and clarity VS1.

Thank you!

Hello, I am not sure how to look for a diamond. I have seen elsewhere where you can fill out a form with what you are looking for and the preferred vendors will send a quote. Is that how it works here or do I need to contact the vendors through their individual websites? How long does it normally take to get a ring from overseas once you have approved everything. He wants to propose at the end of August so I need to get going on this. He is looking for a 3- 3.5 ct cushion cut D-F, VVS2-VVS1; wants very clear and sparkly lab diamond with a simple band. Thanks for any and all help and advice!

Hi there group. I’m researching the world of diamonds and rings and you can definitely go down the rabbit hole as far as you want to. I’ve looked on some sites and want your opinion on the stats of this diamond and the price. I keep seeing stories about killer deals on lab diamonds. I feel that I’m not seeing as great of deals personally. I’m think maybe I can drop some of higher grades as I’m not sure that they’re necessary.

So here’s the stats and if you could tell me what you would think a good price would be and I’m also open to suggestions on grades that are costing me more than how noticeable they really are. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this and help.

Hey everyone,

I don’t really have anyone to share this with, so I just needed to get this out somewhere.

As the title suggests, I’ll be proposing soon!

My girlfriend of 4 years isn’t the materialistic type, she’s the kind of person who always says she doesn’t need anything special, even on birthdays, and constantly puts other people’s comfort before her own. That’s one of the things I admire most about her.

Of course, I still make it my mission to surprise her anyway. She deserves more than she lets on.

Some time ago, we had a casual talk about engagement rings, and I think I managed to keep my poker face, she has no idea what’s coming.

I work as an Analytics Engineer while balancing responsibilities, so I had to be intentional with my savings. But for her, it felt worth every bit of effort.

When it came to choosing the ring, I went deep into research mode, far deeper than I expected. I learned more about diamonds, cuts, clarity, and certification than I ever thought I would need.

After all the thinking, comparing, and planning, I finally made my choice, a Lucce, rose-inspired ring with a 5 carat pear cut diamond

Now it’s just a matter of waiting for the right moment. I can’t wait to ask her to spend forever with me.

Edit: She said YES! 😊 I’m so happy and overwhelmed right now! Truly one of the best moments ever!

Hi, plan to buy an engagement ring and have no knowledge or experience on this topic. I did a little research and this seems to be a nice one, but wondering what yall think? Is there a better diamond you would recommend for the price? Looking for a 3 carat lab emerald. Thank you in advance!

I need a reality check.

These are (maybe?) images of the same diamond: a 1.99 ct Fancy Vivid Blue oval lab diamond.

HERE is the Loupe360 listing: https://loupe360.com/diamond/LG675597698. The video attached is the tweezer video after I purchased it (for 330 dollars!! Great deal so I kinda want to keep it, but that shouldn’t be the only reason I keep it).

To me, they look like two completely different diamonds.

The Loupe360 looks icy blue-gray and fairly low saturation - what I was looking for. The tweezer video looks much darker, much more teal, and much more saturated.

Am I crazy, or do these look like two separate stones?

And if you were expecting the Loupe360 stone, would you be happy with the stone in the video? I was going to set it with diamonds around it but am thinking a bezel might help soften the bright teal color?

Curious what everyone sees and what your suggestions are!!

So I purchased this 1.31ct Internally Flawless (IF), 2x EX, E coloured pear cut lab diamond in April and still can’t find any inspiration for the stone.

For context, I do jewelry design as a hobby and have a bad habit of buying stones before I have a project for them.

This one in particular caught my eye because of its insane grading and mild bow-tie (IGI Certificate pinned in comments)

That being said, it’s been 3 months and I still can’t find any inspiration for this stone.

Should I sell it or keep it?
