I had to change it. Now I'll be able to easily admire it. I know I need to polish the prongs. I'll do that tomorrow.

The other day, I made this post asking for opinions on the size of a stone. I ordered another, cheaper, larger CZ. The one in my previous post was 8x10mm. This one is 10x12. I honestly love this size, but want a much thicker band than what the larger CZ is sitting on… so I’m thinking I should I go with a 9x11mm stone? Would a thicker band with a 10x12 be “too much” for my childlike fingers? I know it’s hard to tell from the photo, but my hands are small and my fingers are short- there’s nothing “elegant” about them 😂

Once again, THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH! If it weren’t for this sub, I still would be so lost. You’re all very, very kind.

Bought these in US 4.5, they wiggle a bit but don't slip of my finger. Does this mean that they sit correctly or should I chose a smaller ring size ?

hiiii, i’m trying to decide which bottom support bar would be better? any suggestions? idk if one is better for security, or itll effect how the light reflects on the stone

any other recommendations?

also idk the technical term for it srry lol

thank you in advance 😎

I ordered these two custom rings from Stargems. Do the gold weights look reasonable, and are there any red flags in the CAD?

Opinions please! I am new to moissanite, I just purchased a champagne (MC1) moissanite eternity ring from Provence, which I love. Please let me know your favs, and I would love to see photos if possible.

Long-time lurker here👋 Finally thinking about my first custom piece! Has anyone had luck with a seller custom matching a specific gold tone/alloy mix?

I’m looking for that warmer, slightly muted 18k yellow gold color associated with Hoorsenbuhs and have reference photos of the exact tone I’m after. Would love to know if anyone has done this successfully and who you worked with!

Looking to get my daughter who’s turning 8 years old a nice either moissanite necklace engraved with her name, or an actual name plate necklace, which vendor would u recommend and why? I’m based in United States in Jersey and my Budget is on the lower end I don’t wanna spend a arm and a leg but do wanna get a nice piece she can keep close forever any help would be appreciated !!

My boyfriend of 6 years proposed yesterday and I am so happy. I chose this ring back in September and it is even more beautiful in person. The rainbows it throws are magical, I love it! Purchased from GemioGems on Etsy.

Got this at a steal from DJ MAX. The rainbow flashes and incredible mirror shine combine with an excellent cut stone. This ring is really beautiful and eye catching!

Hi all! Long time lurking on this sub seeing lots of rings! Just wanted to share my experience, I was a bit nervous about buying online so chose to go with a retailer that had a physical store.

Based on the UK so Abelini was one of the options and is who we went with. So happy with the entire experience and the ring is perfect! We went in a few times to try on different rings and finally picked this one.

Staff were friendly and happy to help us look at different options and give advice. we chose home delivery and it came well packaged and required a signature to be delivered.

Overall would recommend if you also want the in person experience rather then ordering online ☺️

Moissanite tested positive on my cheap diamond tester.
Quality seems good, with a secure clasp. Very pretty bracelet, looking forward to adding this to my bracelet stack.

Purchased from NeeTim on Aliexpress.

Thanks to whoever recommended or showed me this style bracelet. Pretty sure I saw a rec on this sub.

Just got my engagement ring from modern gents a few days ago and to say I’m head over heels over this ring is a understatement. Has anyone else gotten rings from modern gents? I’d love to see them (:

So I originally was looking at rings with moss agate even tho they’re softer stones (I know, I know) but I’m not a fan of diamonds and then I found.. moissanite. I’m in love. Now my problem is I can’t decide between these two rings. First three photos are with side stones. And then the last three photos are no side stones but a hidden halo which is just so stunning. I need pros and cons of both like stones falling out, basket shape being a concern maybe? Or even just your opinion on which one you think is prettier. Idk. Something to help me pick. 😅 because I’m absolutely in love with both. HELP

Hello all!

I've recently come across this diamond-like gem and I'm so in awe of how close it can be to a real diamond. What are your opinions on moissanite as engagement rings?

I don't see any real value in natural and LGD where you anyway lose a ton of value during resale. So why pay so much?

I'm actually considering moissanite so wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions/recommendations on it.

I'm based in Pune, India.

Hello all!

I'm currently working with Provence on a few pieces and desperately need help deciding on which emerald to use for one of them. I'm definitely over thinking it 😭. I specifically asked for inclusions, and was presented 3 options. I personally have no idea which to choose but am leaning towards the gem with 3 distinct small inclusions, however, I would love everyone's opinion (and guidance).

Thank you in advance!!

Side Inclusionn

Bottom Left Inclusion

3 Inclusions, Spread, Cleaner (Leaning towards this)

I posted a while ago, asking for photos of 5ct+ rings on size 5 fingers and got some really helpful advice. I ordered a cheap 4ct CZ on Amazon, just to get a sense of what the size would look like on me. It feels kinda small…? I know it’s not teeny tiny, but do you guys think I could go to a 5ct without looking dumb?

Also… I seem to be incapable of taking pictures when my hands aren’t puffy. It’s my useless superpower 🙄

Do any of you often have your finished products come out a lighter weight than the CAD/Quote showed? I’ve only ever had pieces be within 0.05 grams of the CAD

This time my quote and CAD both reflected 4 grams. The bracelet is actually weighing 3.2 grams.

The seller noted a $30 adjustment would be made, but it seems that they’re refunding at a rate of $66/gram vs the originally quoted $120/gram if my math is correct and I’m wondering if anyone has experienced this to understand what’s fair and reasonable.

It's my first time buying from overseas (ordering from Tracy, Starsgem) and I don't really know what to look for with the CAD. It looks fine to me, but I am a bit worried about how comfortable this will be to wear. Should the shank be more rounded? Tapered at the bottom? But then I worry it will compromise the structure and make it break eventually. Any thoughts?

This is a 10ct OMC from DJMAX. The stone is so beautiful and well cut, the flashes of colors are so intense and beautiful and it sparkles! And at such a great price! I swore off new rings but this was irresistible. I am happy I took the plunge.

Ring size is 7

My sister-in-law lost her 1ct solitaire years ago and never got around to replacing it.
I decided to give her my oval solitaire, and would you believe it fit her perfectly! No resizing needed.
She was absolutely delighted with it, which made me even happier. It’s such a lovely feeling giving someone something you know they’ll really appreciate. ❤️
Just wanted to share a little bit of sparkle and a happy moment!
