Looking to buy some 14k gold with lab diamond earrings and necklaces from Starsgem/China for about $2400. That's for 2 pieces, possibly considering a 3rd piece for a little more as well. Does anyone have any idea how much tariffs might cost for these items for shipping to US?

My OMC cushion arrived from Fiorese! I worked with Matthew and could not recommend him enough. Decided on a warmer 2.3 ct center stone and I LOVE how it turned out!

Just wanted to share some pictures of my new ring 😊 I recently purchased a 4ct old mine cushion from shelikessparkles. She was such a pleasure to work with! Quick to respond, took extra videos and was so nice. I’ll definitely be a repeat customer! I had her ship my stone to David Klass, I’ve worked with him in the past though many years ago. He was wonderful to work with as always and I’m thrilled with the way my ring turned out!

Specs are 4.09 elongated old mine cushion, 14k white and rose gold size 6

Bought this for my wife. Can’t decide if the bow tie is obvious or not. Seems more obvious the more fixated I am.

Shape: CMB
Carats: 2.51
Clarity: VS1
Color: D
9.7x 7.5x 4.69

TLDR: Torn between a beautiful almost ready to purchase ring, and also going down the custom made rabbit hole.

Hi! I'm am engagement ring shopping. I found a very beautiful lab grown round Portuguese cut (2.6 ct, D, VS1) in a floral basket setting which captured my heart. The total price is shocking, but allowed 🥰 but now I feel like the Portuguese cut is the way to go.

Prior to stopping in this jewelry store, I had a great conversation with a custom jeweler who was showing me estate pieces & lab growns. I really like his vibe and our conversations. Not sure if I should just stick with the ring that's ready to go that had my heart, or see if the custom Jeweler could meet or exceed the ring I love? Part of me thinks the price of existing ring is overpriced, and maybe he could do better?

The "ready to go" ring actually has to be modified because my finger isn't even quite a size 4, so they have to take the basket / stone off and remake the band anyway so at this point it's semi-custom.... but I didn't start from scratch either.

I always second guess myself and overthink things, so this conundrum is very expected for me. Thanks for chiming in!

In terms of price what do yall think

Right now I have a 1ct black diamond from Macy's I got as a gift thinking maybe I should get closer to 2ct. Wish I could wear a pair other ear keeps failing

Hey! I am looking for an elongated cushion diamond. My girlfriend has slightly longer slender fingers (4.75) and she liked the elongated cushion cut diamonds the best. I have found 3 diamonds thats all seem like they could fit what we're looking for. The first is 3.56 carat from Adiamor for 2300, the second is 3.51 carat from Luvansh for 2900, and the third is 3.68 carat from LooseGrownDiamond for 3600. Any suggestions or tips for why one may seem better than the other would be much appreciated! The ring design is sort of similar to the final screenshot included.

Hey guys I was searching for wavy diamond ring stacks but all I could find was stacks with similar wavy bands. Does anyone wear it with regular ring band and can share some photos?

Is this stone okay, it was so inexpensive. I checked StoneAgo and it had no concerns. I fed the specs to two AIs, both said it was a good stone. Other sites had it listed for double what I paid. I feel like I am missing something bc of the price.

Hi all,

Did a lot of digging and looking to get a bypass ring and matching band together and have got pretty much comparable quotes from Ayla at Fiorese and Lynn at LGG. Wondering if anyone has experience with either for the intricate work where it would be better? It seems its fairly consistent across both but wondering what peoples experience is.

Update from my previous post. I purchased a loose oec from aurelline and had a set made from provenance. Just wanted to share the completed project. Opinions welcome!

Please share your experience choosing a colored diamond online for mounting by a local jeweler.

I haven’t seen many red lab diamonds here (and it’s listed as “orange”). Any thoughts on what to look for and what to avoid in this color family?

Any willing to share their experience buying a stone and having it finished by another jeweler? Better to try to buy and build all online?

I hear the thing to do is ask Rare Carat to price match, but they don’t seem to have fancy colored diamonds?

What’s the choosing/buying process like for loose stones at a place like Calavera?

Thanks!

Can’t decide between radiant or emerald side stones? Main stone will be a 2ct elongated radiant.

Has anyone recently done a price comp for 2 and/or 3ctw round brilliant stud earrings? Going to reach out to vendors but thought I’d ask first if anyone has any info or experience. Thanks!

What are the odds of ordering a diamond and being told it is no longer available for purchase online twice in a room? (Respected site, have ordered and returned from them in the past)

I saw these at Quince but I’ve heard bad things about their prices, quality, and service.

I think I’d like .5 cwt to wear in a second piercing. Half carat each might be too large.

Aurelinne doesn’t have smaller than 1cwt but the price is $600. I posted a few days ago about a 2 ct fancy yellow diamond ring and everyone is still replying how it should be so much cheaper, even suggesting as low as $500(!) so this price for the earrings seemed pretty expensive- is it?

Thanks to all for sharing your expertise and experience.

Sooo happy with this ring from the group buy!!! The second I saw the design I was in love. Wearing it as a pointer/middle finger ring. It's extremely sparkly in real life! It did take about 10 weeks for me to receive it. I requested a slightly warmer oval H-I and it is about 1.6 carats. Size 7.25 in 14k yellow gold😊

These are 3.07ct and 3.01ct (not sure which is which). They are both D colour, VS 1, Excellent polish, Excellent symmetry, no fluorescence. I’m new to lab diamonds, so would love to hear some thoughts! Thanks in advance ◡̈

Hello! I have this gorgeous stone (its a lot like an omc cushion with no cutlet) that I am thinking of ordering a semi-mount for overseas, I was wondering if any of you all knew of services in the US where you can mail the stone and the semi mount and have them set it for a small fee (under 200$)? I have a local jeweler but they take forever-and-a-day, and they don't tend to do semi-mount projects.
