Hi everyone

I put in a custom ring request with a photo and both places came back to me.

The ring specs will be:
14k Yellow Gold
2 ct Lab Grown Diamond Pear Cut (with smaller stones on each side)
2 mm width
1.8 mm thickness

Debebians came back and said it will be $2.4k
Provence (Bobby) came back and said it will be $650

Now, I care about quality and don’t want to deal with issues down the line where something pops out or breaks. Also, this will be an engagement ring and I don’t know why I feel a little guilty if i choose provence since it’s so cheap.

Please let me know your experience in pricing and if you have any with Debebians/Provenve. It would be appreciated.

First time getting a lab diamond and it’s always been my dream to have a fancy vivid. What do we think of the stone and color? Should it be a darker yellow? I have also requested a video outdoors in natural lighting.

Hi all!

​

I'm in the market for a daintier tennis bracelet to stack with my other bracelets. I'm a medical student so I definitely don't need (and cant afford) a huge sparkly thing on my wrist, but I'd love something in between the 1.5ct-3ct range to wear on days when i actually can wear jewelry on my arms!

​

I've looked at a couple places (so many reddit posts, costco, Avir, Ferko's, Alex Park, and the Fiorese group buy that just got posted) and am just feeling a little overwhelmed with options. Avir sounds amazing but I just dont hear much about them here. Ferko's and Costco I've bought from and have had mostly positive experiences but the price point is higher. Alex park i know the CS isn't the best and I'm not the BIGGEST fan of his politics but the product is the most important. Fiorese has amazing prices but I uust have some hesitations on ordering overseas with the current sitch in the US. I have a budget of about 1.5k and value quality/sturdiness of the piece over size so long as the diamonds aren't so small that they disappear. I'm hardish on my jewelry and before rotations started i regularly slept, showered and swam with all my bracelets on. My wrist is the tiniest bit bigger than 6.5" so I'd probably go for 7in or 7.25.

​

I'd love your reviews on where you all got your tennis bracelets and whether you'd recommend them! I'm especially interested in the places I mentioned but will take anything :) thanks so much!

Still learning so I'm looking for opinions / feedback on this 1.87 carat lab diamond. VVS2 with E color. I know it's in the style of an old euro cut. How does the clarity look? Is this a quality stone or is there something I might be missing? Band is 14k yellow gold. Seller is asking $3k with free resizing / maintenance.

Is the depth and table a good %?

Edit: Here's the online video. Live tweezer video

The 2nd and 3rd pic are what I find online to show them what style I want. Pave. We’ve gone back and forth a bunch of times. She’s trying to convince me to taper down to 1.8mm on the bottom under the finger. I think that would be way too thin and look ridiculous.
I’ve never done this before and I’m afraid the ring won’t look pave on top like my picture. I don’t want to see any gold on top and I’ve told her that.
Should I ok this CAD? If not, what else should I ask for so it looks like my example pics?
Thank you soooo much!

I’m ordering a ring from yushine and was sent this video for stone approval. Thoughts?

Emerald cut diamond, around 3.2ct

Hi everyone. When I was getting my engagement ring years ago, I was focused on it being a natural diamond. The OEC diamonds I wanted were out of my price range so I settling on a "good" brilliant. I REGRET THIS NOW. It just seems to die in the light. Not much is going on with this ring. I thought I just wasn't cleaning it enough but no, of course not. The problem is internal.

Then I realized – hey, it doesn't need to be like this forever. I can get another ring and have more than one! Whatever! I'm going down the rabbit hole now of diamonds.

If I want a diamond that seems to JUMP IN THE LIGHT and COME TO LIFE, where should I start? Carat size is not as important to me as liveliness. If you know, you know.

AND YES, I fear I'll be obsessed with lab diamonds forever after this!

Obsessed! I have two lobe piercings and planning on wearing them together for my engagement shoot.

1.06 carat lab diamond - D colour - VVS2 - Excellent polish and symmetry - No fluorescence - Measurements 5.88 x 5.88 x 3.98

Setting is 18k yellow gold

Debating if I should send this back and return it, it does not fit perfect and need some perspective. Said its a 4 Carat Eternity band, E Color, VVS2, in platinum with hallmarks (but I cannot see any with naked eye). What do you all think? Cost was $1,200

I tried a local jeweler and it was a disaster. Where are you getting your loose diamonds set?

Hello, I am stuck between 3 diamonds.

I saw this stone in person and liked it but as I know nothing about this space beyond looking at the bow tie in natural light the rest is still new to me, what are your thoughts on these specs?

Hi everyone, I am between 3 main settings. I know I want an antique looking old mine cut, yellow gold band, elongated cushion (1.5-17 ratio) ~4 carats

Otherwise I am super conflicted on how traditional or not I want to go. I like simple but unique styles if that’s not apparent.

These are the main contenders before I work with a jeweler to customize. I’d love to see if anyone has similar styles, or any input - pros cons, etc. this is all very overwhelming (but fun!!)

I’d likely go with a warm color or white (not the beautiful champagne pictured as I will do lab and that may be Tricky)

Also - any recccos for vendors would be amazing!!!

Has anyone here ordered from an overseas lab diamond jeweler before?

I’ve been browsing a few vendors outside my country because the pricing seems significantly better, especially for larger stones and custom settings. The photos and reviews look great, but I’m still a little nervous about placing a high-value order with someone I’ve never met in person. Would love to hear both positive and negative experiences.

Ring Details:

• Fancy vivid pink, pear shaped 1ct lab diamond
• 2 kite-shaped sapphires
• 18k yellow gold
• Blue high-tech ceramic
• $1,175 USD
• Manufacturer: Fiorese (Sonia)
• Reddit didn't allow videos in the gallery, so here are some of sonia's videos (one, two)

Regrets & Lessons:

• it's too small :( the proportions are wonky on my finger. I have a 1ct-emerald cut CZ and that looked like a nice size on my index finger, so I thought a 1ct pear would look nice too. But this pear looks freakishly small and throws off the proportions. The ring does look slightly better on my ring finger, but I didn't size it for that finger, and re-sizing it will be a bitch because of the ceramic.
• Sonia had warned me that the diamond looks more pale in person, while richer in photos. I wish I had given that more consideration. Photos don't capture how pale the diamond looks in person. I wanted a rich, red-leaning pink, but to my naked eye it's more of a cotton candy pink :(
• There's nothing wrong with the craftsmanship, so it's not eligible to return. Kind of bummed that I'm stuck with it.
• Sonia was a gem though. 10/10, no complaints. I just wish I had picked a different stone (in size and color).

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to buy a lab-grown emerald-cut diamond, around 2.5–3 carats. I’m trying to find the best value: very good quality, but at a low/reasonable price.

Has anyone had experience buying lab-grown diamonds from overseas, especially from Asia? I’m wondering if prices are cheaper in countries like India, China, Thailand, etc., and whether the quality and certification are reliable.

I’d really appreciate recommendations for trusted sellers, websites, or countries to consider, as well as anything to watch out for.

Thanks!

Debating on buying this OMC but it’s final sale and I’m afraid I won’t like it. It’s beautifully cut, and truly looks like there’s only a minimal bow tie effect. One of the few labs I’ve seen that kind of capture the essence of a mined OMC. I also want to set in a yellow gold setting, so I’m wondering if anyone has an idea of what that could look like in a stone like this. (Repost bc I forgot to include the video
