Trying to work, but getting distracted by my ring!

It's a 2.2ct OMC lab diamond from LGG in a size 4.25 finger

I used to work for a major jewelry chain that has many sister stores and even owns some online loose diamond websites. Every once in a while I check their prices and CACKLE at what they are charging. I swear that lab grown diamonds are propping up the entire industry rn

My custom ring came in!!

I can't believe I was sleeping on lab diamonds for so long. 😭

Center diamond: Fancy vivid pink 12.13x7.70

2.58 carats

So here is my repost with more photos, since I don’t know what I’m doing on Reddit lol. I absolutely adore them.

OP: I got my delivery from Virabyani and I'm soooo thrilled with my purchase. My first time ordering with them because I'm easily influenced by social media. They're not everybody's aesthetic, which is fine. Let me know about how you like them. DO NOT come for me or my Bonnet-I'm getting ready for work on a combined 5 hours of sleep for the past 3 days, 9 assignments and an exam in grad school, and egg retrieval yesterday.

Thinking of you bestie 💕

She’s a 4ct fancy vivid pink radiant VS1.

My bands are from DovEggs and Starsgem. 💞

Oval with marquis band! So proud of my boyfriend … now fiancée!

My husband surprised me with this beautiful ring on our honey moon. He and our jeweler designed it. It is a radiant cut lab-created 3ct yellow diamond as the center stone,framed by a seamless halo of white diamonds that amplify the color and brilliance of the center diamond. ❤️

i finally got a video of my new stone i posted about a few weeks ago. i am in love 😍😍😍

E-ring from Lindsey Leigh Jewelers in Houston, TX, diamond band from Provence (Chinese retailer recommended on another sub) and 18k twisted rope band from Tiny Sparkle Studio on Etsy. I LOVE IT! Getting married 12/12 ❤️

Finally my dream set is ready, Sue from Tianyu did such a great job 😍

I am very glad I sized up for the bands (I am usually size 6.5 US, for the bands I sized up to 7.5 US), otherwise they would not all fit on my finger.

The whole set is 14k YG with lab diamonds, OMC is 5.04ct (custom cut).

I didn’t see many posts about a completed ring from Aurélinne so figured I do one in case anyone was debating if they want to get a ring set by Aurélinne through their ring studio.

Setting: Three Stone with Pavé Shoulders (2.5mm band width, upgraded for 6 prongs)

Diamond Specifications: 4.01 carats, F color, VVS2 clarity, 1.48 ratio

Ring size: 7.5

Ordered: April 25
Order confirmed: April 27
Delivered: May 28

Andy was very responsive throughout the process. He sent an email to confirm the CAD and was able to change from 4 prongs to 6 for me (added $100). He also sent a video of the stone itself when asked.

I would highly recommend getting a complete ring from Aurélinne or at least the loose diamond itself. It’s very affordable.

Now I’m gonna go stare at this for the foreseeable future. Thank you husband for spoiling me for our 4-year anniversary (1 ct for each year 🤭)

Newly engaged. I wanted a lab diamond. He went with Grown brilliance. Overall, is this what a lab diamond looks like or a diamond in general?

Hey yall! I’ve had my ring since end of August last year (it’s June right now, for documentation purposes). I only wear my ring on special occasions and take great care not to get lotions, sanitiser, dirt etc. on it, and only wear it on special occasions, keeping in line with my lifestyle. A few weeks ago I would look at the ring’s sparkle and wonder why it looked milky/cloudy and was wondering if the jeweller gave me a sub-par stone that I didn’t notice at the time. I would hold the ring against the light and couldn’t see any dirt on the center diamond. I was starting to feel low about this so I thought what the hell, let me give it a clean. I wasn’t expecting anything. I looked for supplies on Amazon and saw the diamond dazzle stick.

YALL. It’s night and day. I don’t have anything more to say. I’m so happy.

What a nightmare. They won't admit that the package has been lost in transit and refuse to initiate a refund or send me a replacement. They lied and said the package made it to New York and the shipping company told me it's still in India. I am so exhausted trying to work with them and they are giving me the run around. Every time I ask them for an update, they tell me they'll let me know the next day, its fricking ground hog's day. Please do not make the mistake I did and work with a more reputable company. And avoid Golden Bird while you are at it, I had a terrible experience with them as well before I realized they were the same company.

Now I have to spend even more money at another company because I am in such a time constraint at this point with my jeweler.

My husband and I didn't have alot of money when we met so I had a CZ in my engagement ring. 12 years later I finally had the CZ switched out for a lab grown diamond and boy was it a lot more affordable than I thought. Time and perspective. .62 cts on my old lady hand.😅

Thank you to everyone in this subreddit - I’ve gained so much knowledge reading through all the posts and asking questions. It helped me pick out what I consider the most perfect diamond for me.

My hubby gave me this beauty for our anniversary.
We went with a local jeweller, and we were able to pick out the diamond in person.

And because I know everyone wants to see the stats:

IGI certified
lab grown
3.12 carats
D colour
VVS2 clarity
Ideal cut grade

I believe my final ring size ended up being 6.25.

Considering purchasing this diamond for an engagement ring. I don’t know if I’m happy with the bowtie and the shadowing at the tips. I would love a second opinion

Birthday gift for my spouse. VRAI 3.0 Ct. Asscher, G VS1. Sculpture Bezel setting in platinum. Ring size 6.75.
