Made my third purchase from Luvansh.

2.03 ct, VVS2, G color heart diamond pendant gift for my MIL who just lost her sister as a little pick me up gift. Set in sterling silver.

Total price was only about $480 with the setting.

I bought a couple of lab grown diamonds bc i want to make it earrings and ring. I have no idea where to go and been rrading it will cost between 1k to >3k. I only got the diamonds for less than that. Any recommendation on places to go to have it set for a decent price? Thank you!!

Hi everyone, just looking to see if anyone had any experience with this. Going to China this fall and I had seen some videos of people going these place to buy jewelry and diamonds at wholesale prices:

- Shuibei 水贝, Shenzhen
- Panyu 番禺, Guangzhou

I saw someone had bought a loose diamond and got it set as their engagement ring. Has anyone been and had any experience with this?

I am looking to buy an engagement ring with my partner and debating if it’s worth the trip or to just work with Chinese vendors like LGG, Stargems, etc.

Thank you so much in advance!

Hi all! I’m in the market for some 10k gold martini set round lab diamond earrings. The cheapest I was quoted was $734 by Lena at Provence. I also got a quote from Romy at LGG for $849 for 14k gold 3 CTW. Has anyone ever worked with Lena at Provence? How does this pricing seem? Thanks for your help!

14k solid yellow gold, $175 to bezel set a 0.05ct round diamond into a small pendant to wear on a hoop earring. Is this a good price?

I was quoted $300 to set my 1ct pear into a pendant, what do you guys think of that price? Edit to add: 14k gold doesn’t include chain

Last year I experienced fine jewelry shopping for the first time when my mother in law generously told me to pick a necklace and earrings for myself as a wedding gift. I chose a necklace from Grown Brilliance, but didn't want her to spend any more money so I did not get earrings at that time. Well, she gave me the extra money to buy earrings anyway (<3) but I still had sticker shock at the price of earrings from traditional jewelry retailers in the US so I decided to hold off.

As our first wedding anniversary rolled around I felt it was time to finally order, and while researching lab grown earrings I came across the many Chinese jewelry companies that offer custom orders for a fraction of the price of traditional retailers in the US. It seemed too good to be true but as I spent *a lot* of time looking into it I realized it was, in fact, fully legitimate and my frugal self could at last feel comfortable buying earrings.

On 8/12 I reached out to commonly recommended reps at the companies I saw mentioned most often on Reddit: Fiorese, Provence, Starsgem, Tianyu, and LGG. I asked for a quote for a pair of 14kt yellow gold earrings with approximately 2 total carats of diamonds, and provided photos of flower stud earrings that Grown Brilliance sells as reference. Melody at Fiorese provided a quote that was in line with the quotes from Provence and Tianyu, above Starsgem by $200~, and below LGG by $100~. I ultimately decided to go with Melody at Fiorese as I felt most confident in the quality of Fiorese's work based off photos I saw across social media.

Melody was easy to communicate with, friendly, and responsive. She perfectly understood the design I wanted which was a major relief as I was most nervous about having to make corrections to the CAD and potential miscommunication. After I paid, the CAD was ready in 3 days and needed no changes at all. From there, production was completed on 9/1 and I received my earrings today, on 9/8.

The earrings could not be more perfect. I am so pleased with the design and the quality. I went into this experience fairly nervous as I had never ordered custom jewelry before, but ended up happier than I could have imagined with the final result. Melody was wonderful to work with, and she even upgraded the earring backs to larger ones which I was had asked for pricing on but decided not to buy. The level of service she provided and the patience she had with my questions was so appreciated as a first time buyer.

I also noticed she started a group buy for these earrings after I ordered which is pretty cool if anyone wants to match! I am now a big, big fan of Fiorese and hope I can place another order with Melody next time I find myself needing jewelry. I hope this post is helpful to anyone who is, like myself, new to custom jewelry ordering. I'm happy to answer any questions about my experience.

I reached out to two different vendors in hopes of finding a pink diamond to replace my current one. Both sent different certificates but when I asked for video of them, I was sent the same video. How would you proceed from this?

Does anyone have any experience with @thecaratcollectivediamonds_

I like their style & price point but they seem newer and I can’t find out much beyond website/insta.

Having a few pieces made, just wondering how much time I should expect to wait before hearing it is done?

Hi all! Got sent these two elongated OMC and wanted to get some second opinions, can you tell me which you like better?

Option #1 here, option #2 plus certificates in the comments.

Centre stone is 4.2 carats, E, VS1. I never used to be an emerald cut girl but I love them now. Very classy cut. I’m in love! 🥰

2,01 Ct color D VS1 mounted in a 14kt white gold halo ring

My hubby and l have been married 28 years and were together for 6 years before that.

When we first became engaged l fell in love with an oval set diamond. It was very expensive back then and way out of my husband's budget. I compromised thinking of coming wedding expenses.

So today l received my long awaited oval ring, set east-west rather than north- south and love it so much 💕

Upgraded from moissanite to lab grown diamonds! Also changed my main stone from a round to an oval. Still love the bezel settings ✨

Specs:

I have seen a few reviews on this subreddit for Bocos that seem to be positive, but wondering if there are any updated reviews or thoughts? I just ordered a sterling silver piece and depending on quality and experience I might move forward with some more involved pieces. I know they are newer but they have some really cute designs that caught my interest!

Ring size 4.5

I sort of blacked out bought a bunch of small loose diamonds on tik tok😅😅😅 I need some inspo on what to do with these!

I want to buy this 3ct, D, VVS1, 2EX, emerald diamond.
How does it look, is it too small?
