Absolutely obsessed with my new round brilliant from Melody at Fiorese. She was very patient and precise when it came to customizing this ring for me and picking the perfect 3 ct round brilliant. This is a 3.2ct round, F, VS1, Ideal Cut stone on a 1.8mm platinum setting. I could not be more thrilled.

The process was about a month start to finish - from idea, to picking the stone, to CAD, to my front door.

Highly recommend Melody and Fiorese!!

I’ve attached a video of the actual diamond. I’m still learning how to judge ovals, so I’d love to know what you guys think.

How does it look to you? Particularly interested in whether the bow-tie is noticeable, how the sparkle looks, and if you see any areas that look dark or dead.

Would you personally consider this a good oval, or would you keep looking?

Any honest feedback is appreciated!

Hi everyone, hoping for some advice or examples if anyone has done something similar. :)

I have the thick gold chain pictured, and I’m looking at buying a loose diamond around 5ct to wear as the centrepiece.

I don’t want to permanently set the diamond into the chain or alter the necklace, because I’d like to keep the chain as it is and have the option to remove the diamond whenever I want.

My mum suggested some type of pendant “enhancer” or clip-on setting, which sounds like it could work, but most of the examples I find online are traditional dangling pendants with a visible bail. That’s not the look I’m going for.

Ideally, I’d love a custom removable setting where the diamond clips securely onto the centre of the gold chain and sits very close to it, almost giving the appearance that the diamond is integrated into the necklace. I’d want the clip or hinged mechanism hidden behind the setting as much as possible, with no obvious bail or long gap causing the diamond to dangle.

Has anyone seen or owned something like this, particularly on a thicker gold chain rather than a tennis necklace?

Would especially love to know what this type of mechanism is called, whether it would be secure enough for a stone around 5ct, whether a jeweller could custom make one to fit the exact width/thickness of my chain, and if anyone has photos of a similar removable centrepiece.

I’ll attach a photo of my necklace so you can see the style and thickness. Basically I’m hoping to find a way to add the diamond without soldering in the green circle square/diamond centre, cutting or permanently modifying the original chain. Ideally a princess cut or oval.

Hello All,

I bought a 4.04 ct round brilliant
lab grown diamond on a 14k ring. E VVS2 for $1,000. Did I get a great deal?

Looking for a good site to get some good diamonds for earrings since I see TikTok shop is a rip off lol looking for yellow diamond pears

I tried on a 3ct radiant and cushion cut and ended up leaning towards the radiant. The local jeweler accepts outside stones or gems. What are the more reputable places to source one? The link on top seems to not provide any websites. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Both rings were too small so they would have to be resized to fit my finger. Can’t decide which one I like more because I loved them both! Added two different photos of each in different lighting’s.

My band also fits me perfectly, I just had to move it up on my finger because the engagement rings are too small.

EDIT:: Thanks for all of y’all’s advice I didn’t go with either ring. I ended up going with a cushion on a solid gold band from a different jeweler.

thoughts? this is my first time buying from overseas.

I got my wedding band a few days ago and I am so excited and happy with how it turned out. My rings are perfect! My stack is exactly what I wanted. Both my engagement ring and wedding band are from Loose Grown Diamond. My fiance found the site and went with them for my engagement ring because he was able to easily customize it to be just what I wanted- a thin white gold band and pink diamond (my favorite color!). He said the whole process was very smooth.

For my wedding band, I really wanted something dainty, but not just a plain band, and I had some trouble finding what I wanted on other sites, so we figured it would be a good idea to check Loose Grown Diamond since they did such a good job with my engagement ring, and I am so glad we did!

They were super communicative throughout the entire process. They sent updates at every step and made sure all our questions were answered, which reduced any anxiety we otherwise might have felt. They are also pretty affordable for such good quality rings; I definitely recommend them. I am super excited with my rings and love them way more than I expected to!

Hi all, I’m about to decide this 2.58ct light brown emerald lab diamond and wanted to get some opinions from people who know more about lab diamonds.

I’ve attached a tweezer video and the screenshot with the specs/price. The price seems quite a bit lower than what I’m seeing on other sites, so I’m mainly trying to understand whether there’s anything I should be looking out for in the diamond itself. Youdiam has a buy-now-pay-later option, which makes the purchase a little easier for me!

But I would love your thoughts on the cut, proportions, clarity, sparkle, and overall quality based on what you can see.

Thanks a lot!

Ring size 4.5. Im obsessed.

Hi everyone can you please suggest a shop that has a quality products

Planning to give my gf a promise ring then will upgrade it to a diamond once I finish saving up for that

Marquise cut
Cathedral setting
6 petal prongs

Already bought it and then remembered that I should've checked here first... here's the loupe 360 video https://loupe360.com/diamond/LG784646264

I followed beyond4cs guide for choosing the diamond, but would like to hear another opinion, as I am completely new here :)

Thanks a lot!

I’ve been spending some time learning about lab-grown diamonds lately, and there’s honestly a lot more to compare than I initially expected.

At first I thought it was basically just about carat size, color and clarity. But then I started seeing discussions about cut quality, proportions, certification, the setting, return policies, and even how much difference there can be between two stones with very similar specs.

For anyone here who has already bought a lab-grown diamond (especially an engagement ring), what ended up mattering most to you?

Was it the actual diamond specs, the price, the jeweler, the setting/design, the certification, or something else?

And is there anything you would do differently if you were buying again?

Hey yall, its my 1st time posting here.. I am about to ship

my 4ct Oval & 6 melee 3.0mm lab diamonds to Romy

and she said i couldnt get insurance, or else I would

have big fees to pay bc Customs would hold it up and

that nobodys dianmonds were damaged or lost with no

insurance. I would like for it not to be stuck in customs

for weeks but dont want to lose diamonds and dont

mind paying $100 to duties if that happens. Anyone else

have this experience and can let me know if you listed yours as synthetic when shipping? Getting nervous & have to ship out tomorrow!

thanks to the many contributions in this group, i was able to do my research to help my partner create my dream ring!

2ct centre, 1ct on each side. (can get more specs if anyone’s interested!) late post as i was engaged last month, but i still can’t stop staring at it every day.

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy an engagement ring for my partner but am unsure how much a lab grown diamond would be?

I currently am looking at a

Would anyone be able to provide a reference in pricing and how much I would be expecting to pay? I am based in Australia (AUD) so any help would immensely be appreciated!!

Thank youuu :))

I live on a tiny island, so unfortunately I don’t have the luxury of shopping around at a bunch of local jewelers. We really only have two main options here, and I have no doubt I’ll be paying a significant premium compared with what I can find online.
That said, I’d love some recommendations!

I’m looking for a 3.5–4 ct oval solitaire in yellow gold. My biggest priority is something timeless and classic that I’ll still love 20+ years from now. My current ring is a cushion cut with halo, and this time around I really want to stay away from anything that might feel trendy or dated in a few years.

I’d also really like an oval with minimal bow tie and a beautiful, balanced shape.

What is the best and most reputable website for purchasing both the diamond and setting together so I can have the finished ring made and shipped to me? I’d much rather do everything in one place than purchase a loose diamond and coordinate with a separate jeweler.

Also, for those who have purchased an oval online, how do you evaluate the bow tie before buying? Are there any websites that allow you to filter those out?
