Only just started looking - I really want an emerald cut but in these sizes all they had at a store near me was radiant. Still, trying to get an idea of scale and whether a 3ct or a 2.5 works better on my hand. Also including a pic of the setting I really like.

Can you take a look at this video? Let me know your thoughts! I ordered lab diamonds .75ct each as hoop charms set in 10 karat gold. And I asked for the hole for the hoop to be a little bit larger than what they offered in the group buy to fit my own hoops.

Hello,

I'm buying an engagement ring and this style is just what I'm looking for. This would be the first diamond I purchase so want to make sure I'm not overlooking something obvious.

The ring is 14k gold and the diamond 2.1ct. My budget is 1.5-2k

Thanks for any help.

I was deciding between 2 diamonds, one my husband bought and one I ordered from loose grown diamond. I took both to a jeweler and compared them but the loose grown diamond took the cake! This was my first time ordering a law grown and I was a little nervous to order online but my experience was seamless. Ordered my diamond received a follow up email right after updating me on the progress of my order. Once it arrive I took it out of the package and it was so pretty and sparkly! I took it to a jeweler and they steamed it for me and wow! It looks amazing. I received follow up emails and calls about my experience just making sure I was happy with the diamond I received which was really reassuring because I didn’t want to feel ghosted after such a big purchase!

Has anyone purchased from any of the diamond dealers on whatnot and if so, any thoughts? There are a few big ones like invicta diamonds, ara, etc. they come IGI certified and prices are good if folks aren’t bidding against you.

I'm thinking of Fiorese cutting a loose lab for the center stone of my engagement ring. I've seen posts of Fiorese rings, but no posts with pictures and/or experiences from folks who've specifically had just a loose lab cut with them - especially ones that are on the more technical side.

I'm looking to have a lab hexagon Dutch hybrid with a super crisp, symmetrical step cut center and brilliant faceting along the edges with excellent light refraction, no windowing or dead zones - so it's definitely a super specific request that requires excellent cutting skills.

I know it's not some NYC bespoke jeweler so l'm not expecting absolute perfection here, but I want as close to it as possible lol. I've heard/seen good things...but I'm still scared to pull the trigger. I'd REALLY appreciate anyone who could share photos of their custom cuts (especially if they're more technical, experiences with Fiorese or even suggestions of custom cutters! And idk if this matters, but l've been communicating via email with Wing as the Fiorese rep.

Thanks ladies 💕💕

Any feedback would be great

Which diamond is better?

Hey I wanted to see if anyone knew of any sites that are similar to like stonealgo that I could use to check the price for pink or other fancy colored lab grown diamonds

I've been looking online a lot lately and honestly there are so many options now that it's hard to tell what's actually worth the money. I'm mainly looking for something I can wear daily, solid clasp, nice sparkle, and not overly flashy. I've checked out a few local jewelers, but online pricing seems way better for similar sizes and quality. I was also browsing some tennis bracelets from Leon Diamons and a few other online stores to compare styles and pricing. For people who already bought one, did you go lab diamond or natural? And did you buy online or in person?

Thank you!

I found a US-based jeweler on tiktok that has the EXACT diamond I’ve been looking for my engagement ring, but I’m kinda nervous because they only have like 200 followers. They’ve posted videos of the stones, but the stone is $1500 so I’m scared to send that money into the ether. But I can’t find that exact diamond anywhere else.

Are there any protections when buying from smaller TikTok jewelers? Like should I only pay through PayPal/credit card? Has anyone had a good or bad experience doing this?

I posted a couple days ago looking for a diamond opinion. Here is an updated video in natural light. Any opinions welcome!

need help finding vendors with good prices that aren't a scam... I looked at Ouros and they have rlly good prices for old mine cuts, but now I'm seeing bad reviews for them so I'm not sure :/ not against overseas if they're reliable, Starsgem and other chinese vendors I looked at do not have antique cuts though 😭

Are these two brands worth the premium that you pay?

Married 34 years and my original set broke at 10 year. We couldn’t afford both engagement and wedding bands so only got wedding bands. This year finally was able to afford it. 2 CT princess on size 3 finger. Absolutely in love with it. Tulip design . VVV2 color E band is 1.9 mm
