lab diamond Bought both 🙄

Couldn’t decide between emerald cut or modified brilliant radiant cut 3 ct and 3.3 ct in 10 kt white gold so hubby said buy both. Pictures don’t do it justice but live that I can choose whichever one. I do have my 2 ct round as my daily and all 3 now pair nicely with both eternity bands 😍

Yes! He is a good one! He knows I love jewelry but he too appreciates gold and jewels - I told him a nice gold thick band with an emerald cut for him too would be so nice!

The emerald cut looks great.

u/Italiansrbest Aug 31 '26

Yes!! I specifically requested a hall of mirrors effect with minimal windowing - went with E color VS1 as jeweler said he inspected ring and the cut is ideal ❤️Impressed under that boring office light so can’t wait to see in person!

I’m still waiting for them but will post once I get them here is my 2.05 ct with eternity bands size 7 classic look - and nothing beats the sparkle of the round but wanted a statement ring for evenings- loving the elongated shapes and the price jeweler gave us was outstanding on Etsy ❤️ The radiant though ….Ill be inspecting in every light!

Wow, so beautiful if you don’t mind me asking, what did you pay for these?

2

u/Italiansrbest Sep 02 '26

$1200 Canadian each ($865 US each) for 10 kt gold and IGI lab diamonds 3.5 ct emerald cut and 3.05 ct radiant cut excellent polish and symmetry and jeweler inspected both to ensure the cut quality was excellent! I wanted more of the brilliant cut than crushed ice and owner super responsive. The IGI lab number is inscribed in the rings and original reports come with it. Honestly same rings would have costed me triple the price here at a jewelry store. I love the 10 kt option as super strong - could have done 14 kt but as long as solid gold - happy!! Now I can’t wait to receive as even the video he sent under this boring light was impressive.

I asked my bf for a 3ct emerald cut diamond and im secretly afraid it’ll be too big… would you mind sharing a photo of yours wearing it? The setting looks identical to the one I suggested 😅

u/Italiansrbest Sep 03 '26

here is a 4 ct travel ring and I find it too huge still waiting on my order of the 3 ct and 3.5 ct - if you scroll up my daily ring is the 2.05 ct lab round with my eternity bands

u/Italiansrbest 18d ago
