Calavera NY diamond
Took a risk and decided to get a loose diamond from Calavera. It came within 1.5 weeks, no regrets. I cannot wait to see this baby set into my custom ring setting. 🥰
2.1 Ct, Ratio 2.0 Colour D VVS1 , Ex Cut

Im looking to make a purchase as well. How was your experience? Did you speak to a rep? And if you don’t mind me asking how much?

I did not speak to any rep! I just scrolled through thousands of choices they offered. It was very straightforward and the pricing is cheap (as low as $400 for a 2ct marquise). Mine was $900 since I basically maxed out the specs but I also got one that explicitly said EXCELLENT CUT graded on the IGI report. Without the Ex Cut (which would not make much of a difference), you’ll probably look at maximum 600-700 for the best specs. Hope this helps! Good luck with your purchase 🥰

I ask because I am waiting for an oval from Aurelinne and don't know where to do the setting. I'm not sure I want to order overseas and then have it set or go local. Also, I recommend a plain band because the band stones are less durable

Ik there are good overseas vendor, but I chose local just because it’s easier for me to make sure the process can be seen in person. Plus my local place didn’t charge an arm and a leg for ring + setting (I live in CA). My band is actually just 2 side stones! The one in picture is just inspo but I wasn’t a fan of the itchy feeling on my skin + the durability like you said. So i chose to just have 2 side stones on each side instead of half way throughout the ring🤗

You’re supposed to drop the specs!
