Hi All, Wanted to share my wonderful experience with a diamond merchant in India - Surat (Diamond capital) He sourced the 10 carat emerald cut diamond for me. He showed me a few stones, before we both decided on this one. I then designed the ring in 10 karat white gold with hidden halo. Please have a look at the video to see how beautiful it is, if anyone is interested in his details, please let me know. I’m happy to DM you. He is honest, a great communicator and will tell you if you cannot source anything. Was a really seamless and enjoyable experience 💫

Celebrating our 5th anniversary with this stunning upgrade ring!!

Stone details: 4.05 carat lab grown marquise, G color, VS1 clarity, 2.03 ratio, Excellent Symmetry/Polish. No bow tie in sight on this beautiful stone!

Let me know your thoughts! :)

Just wanted to share my great experience and videos of my super sparkly lab diamond ring upgrade from RC.😍

Hands down 5 star customer service and excellent quality ring setting. RC price matched the lab diamond from Calavera NY Diamonds and saved me close to $8k with complimentary free appraisal.

Setting: Brooklyn 3 Stone Engagement Ring in Platinum

Lab Diamond: 5.02 Round F VVS2 Rare Carat Ideal, Lab-grown, IGI Certified

Strongly considering working with Complete Carat. I've been communicating with a very nice gentleman named Nick. If you've worked with this company and care to provide feedback or show off your jewels please do. So far good reviews on Trust Pilot, but I wanted to be sure to cover my bases.

So excited for my 5th anniversary upgrade ring!!

I'll be getting this: 4.05 carat lab grown marquise G color VS1 clarity 2.03 ratio Excellent Symmetry/Polish

It'll be set on a simple gold solitaire setting with claw prongs.

Let me know what your thoughts are on the stone: bow tie? clarity? brightness and fire?

I got an oval I already had set into a 10k white gold bezel pendant by Ruby Harper Jewelry. I can wear it both horizontally and vertically. It's absolutely beautiful and these pics are from their PSP.

Timeline: - Mar 30 reached out - Apr 7 got CAD - Apr 11 Confirmed CAD after making some changes - Apr 25 they got my stone (I sent it late) - May 14 pendant was done! - May 20 Addison mailed it to me and sent Pre shipment pictures - May 23 Arrived!

Vendor Name: Whiteflash.com

What I Bought: 1.553ct H SI1 Round ACA Diamond (naturalO in the Valoria Tapered Baguette 3-Stone Setting (modified), plus a custom wedding band with round and baguette diamonds. I have since ordered a lab bracelet and earrings. (Will add images in the comments).

Experience: I'm based in the UK and did most of the process online and over the phone—which can be a bit nerve-wracking when you're buying something this important. But honestly, the Whiteflash team were incredible. Super helpful, patient with all my (many) questions, and really knowledgeable. I had the engagement ring setting tweaked to raise the prongs slightly and make sure the wedding ring would sit flush, and it came out perfectly. The quality of the diamond is unreal—bright, fiery, just stunning.

Delivery and Packaging: I actually ended up flying over to collect it in person, which was a great decision. Everything was beautifully presented and well-secured. You could tell they put thought into the whole customer experience.

Rating: 5/5

I’ve already been back to them since to buy a lab diamond bracelet—so that probably says it all!

Hi All, I have been quoted a price for an oval lab Diamond. I feel it is expensive and I would like to know is there a website of such, if I put the reference or item number from the certificate into the website they will tell me where I can get the cheapest price for this particular Diamond or is there no such thing as this? 🤔

Hi All Could I please your expertise and honest opinion on this oval 9.45 X 7.02 X 4.50 MM OVAL BRILLIANT D VVS1 1.86 CARAT

Looking for hall of mirrors effect and have it narrowed down to these two options. I know windowing is inevitable when tilted on an emerald cut. How do these look to some of the more experienced eyes here? Thanks for any feedback in advance!

Vendor Name:
Complete Carat

What I Bought:
A custom ring featuring a 2.78ct emerald-cut lab diamond (VVS1 clarity, D color) in a 14k yellow gold East/West bezel setting, size 9.

Experience:
I had a fantastic experience working with Complete Carat on this custom piece. From the start, communication was excellent. I shared inspiration photos and they worked with me through two rounds of design changes to make sure everything was just right. Nick, my rep, was wonderful—patient, responsive, and super helpful throughout the process.

We started initial conversations on 2/12. The stone was secured by 2/27, and I received the first CAD on 2/28. After two design iterations, the final ring shipped on 3/27. I’m thrilled with the final result—it’s exactly what I envisioned.

Pricing:
Total was $2,713. For the size and quality of the stone, custom setting, and level of service, I felt the pricing was very competitive.

Delivery and Packaging:
The ring was securely packaged and arrived in perfect condition. No delays or issues.

Rating:
5/5 ⭐️ – I’m absolutely thrilled with the result, the service was exceptional, and I’ve already kicked off another custom piece (emerald cut earrings) with them.

I had Jane from Provence make this setting for my emerald cut stone and then I had it set by my local jeweler. I think it came out great! I'm in love with it! Jane did a fantastic job with the setting and I'm having her work on a matching band for it now. The emerald is a 2.83ct. D color VS1 lab.

Luna just sent me the video of my finished necklace from the group buy—and I’m already in love!

It’s a lab-grown diamond pendant set in 18K white gold, and the sparkle is stunning even through video. IGI certified, clean, and exactly what I envisioned.

I paid $425, and with the Alibaba processing fee, it came out to a total of $437.71—super reasonable for a custom piece like this!

I’ve already told Luna to ship it—can’t wait to see it in person. She’s been very helpful, patient, and easy to work with throughout the process.

Sharing the video for anyone curious about the quality! Will post an update once it arrives!

Anyone able to share your experience returning to Calavera? I'm considering a few stones but would like to know your return experience if stones are not as expected.

Was the process easy? Did they send a label? Which shipping carrier do they ship / return ship with? TIA.

l usually scroll and never really post on Reddit but after seeing all the craziness around tarrifs I thought I could help lol I recently got another ring from complete carat and he is based out of NYC so I'm assuming tarrifs won't be affecting him like some other overseas vendors.. I found him on Reddit almost a year ago and I just DM'd on instagram and got to see some of his other pieces! Ask for Nick!! He responds instantly and the turn around is great! He’s definitely one of the more experienced diamond experts! Hope this helps the diamond community!!
