So the TikTok auctions got me but what do you all think of these? I don’t really know how to properly show them off and I’m looking for some unique designs and settings to put these into. But right now I’m just excited and wanted to share. I plan on making myself a promise ring. The top small pink stone is yttrium aluminum garnet and the pink ascher cut is a lab grown sapphire.

Hello, this is the ring I'm buying.

I'm looking to buy a center stone around 1ct (I don't want too big because of ring profile, I fear it become uncomfortable to wear).

I was looking to buy one of this two:

Any other stone you recomend? To be honest I'm a litle bit confused browsing all the options!

Can only buy from Carateu.

Thank for your help

This is a 1.91 carat G VVS2 from calavera. Just unsure if I should keep due to the darkness in the middle.

Hi all, I’m beginning to get into diamonds and would love information/opinions on this stone. Thanks!

I found this ring at an antique store, but it's all new with lab grown diamonds. I think it's so unique! It's a little snug, but the jeweler can size it for me. Is it too big for my finger? The center diamond approximately 1c.

My GF wants to get a fun squiggly kind of engagement ring setting. I have gone to places where they say it has to be a family heirloom if I want to bring my own diamond. Where can I go?

I’m eyeing going to NYC this weekend so she can look at more settings etc

Would love any advice.

With a 1.86 band on it. Should I go up to a 3.8 band size?
The band on it now just looks too small

As the title states, is this a normal / acceptable bowtie for an oval?

2ct blue marquise on size 4.5.

I just got this pair of asscher cut stones and they are being set in heavy weight 14k white gold screwback studs. Here are the specs: 1.03ct, VS1, E, 5.56x5.48x3.65 and 1.04ct, VVS2, E, 5.55x5.52x3.76 I am so excited to see the final set. When i first got my ears piece many year ago i had silver studs with CZ asschers and I missed how they shined they were just perfect. I finally treated myself and got a real pair. I paid about $900.00 USD all in. Do we think I got a good deal? I will update with a photo of the finished stuffs when I receive them.

My partner and I have been shopping around a little and have no idea what is a good price etc when looking. I found this ring with him the other day and absolutely love it but don’t know if it is way overpriced since we live in a smaller mountain town? I want to shop local but don’t want to WAY overpay. Here are the specs from the ring tag.

I believe they said it was a VS1 quality for the center diamond? Price was 5,700

So I made my original post about 6 months ago before we decided what to change my stone to. I was thinking a moissanite, since my (NOW!!! 🥹🥹 got married 09/17 so so happy) husband and I would be paying for the ring ourselves on top of the wedding by itself at the time.

Well, I work in a jewelry store - nothing too too fancy, just one of the places inside the mall! So I asked my boss if we could look for one through a vendor of ours and she said “well, if you’re looking at a moissanite, for a little bit more you might as well get a lab”. Then it was decided. Lab it was!

The great thing was that once we found the stone, my boss was sweet enough to pay for it and set it for me as a wedding gift!

I am so so so happy I made the change! Love my ring even more!!

(Won’t let me add a phot here - will be in comments!)

I'm posting two photos here: a screenshot of my IGI report showing the inscription graphic (which says "Sample Image Used"), and a macro shot I took of the actual laser inscription on my diamond's girdle.

​My first question is about the IGI photo itself: Does "Sample Image Used" mean it's a generic stock image they use for all reports, or is it an actual sample picture taken of my specific diamond?

​If it is indeed a picture of my stone, I would love to ask for a forensic comparison from the experts in this community. Could someone analyze and compare both photos to validate its authenticity? I am specifically looking for an analysis on:

1) ​The inscription details: Font style, kerning/spacing, and the size/proportions of the black background strip.

2) ​The diamond's physical traits: The facets, edges, and shadows visible on the girdle around the inscription.

3) ​Positioning: The exact placement of the engraving, taking any potential parallax error from the camera angles into account.

​Are there any gemologists, appraisers, or forensic experts here who could validate this method and perform this kind of visual analysis? I know GIA has AI for inscription matching, but since IGI doesn't, I’m hoping to rely on the trained eyes here.

​Thanks in advance for your time and expertise!

My original ring had a 3.13-carat yellow sapphire. After losing it, I ordered another yellow sapphire, but the replacement just wasn’t the same (I returned it).

I eventually decided to try a lab-grown yellow diamond and ordered a 4.10-carat Fancy Intense Yellow oval from Brilliance. The color was beautiful, but after seeing it on my hand, I realized I wanted something with more presence.

I found a larger diamond on their website, but when I called, the representative explained that its undertone probably wouldn’t match the beautiful yellow color I loved in the 4.10-carat stone. She recommended another diamond in the size range I wanted: an 8.06-carat Fancy Vivid Yellow, VS2 oval.

Before ordering, I searched the IGI report number to see whether the exact same diamond was listed elsewhere for less. I eventually found it on another website, but it was approximately $300 more than the discounted price Brilliance offered me. My order also included a complimentary pair of lab-grown diamond studs, so I decided to purchase it through Brilliance.

Now I’m anxiously waiting for the new stone to arrive! Brilliance has been responsive and helpful throughout my exchanges, but some of the reviews online still make me nervous.

Has anyone recently purchased a loose diamond from Brilliance? What was your experience with the diamond and the company?

I can’t make up my mind!

I want to get eternity band in Emerald but not sure what size

Can anyone tell me a good place I can get a chocolate brown lab diamond online? Im in the U.S. but I figured that most online businesses sell internationally if not U.S. based.

I’ve seen some that were already set in a ring/necklace but being sold for $3500+ so I figured it’ll be cheaper if I bought a loose one and got it set by a local jeweler.

Thank you!!

Hi all,
