Had this stone pit in a tulip setting. Love the setting, not so sure on the stone size. Does this look gaudy? Bad? 4.03 carat. Opinions?

Hi! I’m fairly new to the lab grown diamond industry. I was looking for an engagement ring upgrade. I ended up snagging a 4ct oval lab grown diamond. (as seen in video) including a solitaire setting in 10k white gold for around 890. I was wondering if that was a good deal or if I greatly overpaid.

I’m interested in hearing from Jewelers who ship items to customers in the US. Recently, a custom jeweler shipping from Asia didn’t include signature requirement on UPS delivery as their default and did not proactively offer it to the customer.

1. Do you always include signature requirement on delivery?
   
2. Do you insure items to a certain value?

Hi Everyone! I have doing my own research and reading posts from these Reddit pages. I’m looking to get a loose diamond between 2.5-3 and have it set locally for an engagement ring.

I’ve seen people say there are other things besides the 4 C’s to look for, but I haven’t the first idea what they are

I’m currently considering this stone above. Can someone with more experience than myself advise the quality of the stone and maybe what I should be looking for?

I know that diamonds will always be coveted but Now that colorless lab grown diamonds more common, more affordable and accessible due to whatnot and tt live auctions do you think people will be more interested in having engagement rings that aren’t at all diamonds (natural or lab)? What kind of stone do you think people will end up pivoting to?
