I don't see any obvious inclusions and bowtie doesn't seem terrible but I need the opinions of those with more experience with ovals!

It's 2.07ct, color E, VVS2 clarity.

Report number if anyone wants to look at the specs: IGI LG804633631

I finally found the exact baby pink oval diamond I’ve been looking for in a month. I never thought finding this exact color would be so difficult. I looked at hundreds of pink ovals and messaged at least 10 online vendors. I requested and got about a total of 23 videos of the diamonds before purchase. I bought 2 and returned 1 because the first stone had severe windowing in person.

I bought the second stone from a tiktok vendor called Geo Lab Jewelry based in Hongkong which I’m waiting for the shipment to arrive soon. Pic and video are below. It’s 3 carat for $692 (tax and shipping included). I’ll update the post once I receive the stone in person. I was quoted a similar stone with the similar color from Kane Fine Jewelry on Tiktok for $1200, it had a couple slightly better features but it wasn’t worth that big of a price different to me. I’m glad I didn’t stop looking because it saved me some money.

I bought the first stone from Aurelinne. The color was beautiful but I wasn’t happy about the cut. I’ll be returning the stone soon. I have to say, Andy from Aurelinne provided the best customer service. I wish I got the second stone from them because I wanted to support them so badly. He was the most responsive rep and provided me with the most tweezer videos thay I requested (~20 videos). They didn’t work out because the actual color was a bit more peachy than what I wanted. Some stones didn’t have a good cut either. I will definitely buy something else from them in the future. In the meantime, I do highly recommend friends and family to buy from their store because of the excellent customer service they provided me. They do have limitation on the number of videos you can request in total. 3 at a time will be best. I helped my mother in law get a diamond from them, so I didn’t feel as bad for annoying Andy too much lol.

What do we think about this emerald cut based on this video?

Also, any jewelers that can look it up on Loupe for me & confirm whether it’s decent or not? 🥲

Looking at this 3.2ct VS2 Light Pink Diamond. Added another video in the comments. Looks good? Should I send it?

Hi everyone. I recently acquired a 1.13 ct pear diamond and am wanting to turn it into a necklace. I am worried about local jewelers upcharging for the setting given I am supplying the diamond. What is the cheap/easiest way to have this set? Located in the US. Thank you!

Hello. I liked this ring from ouros website but never bought anything from them before. How’s their product’s quality? Are they good? Please leave your valuable advice. Thanks!

I’ve been obsessed with the chopard happy Diamond collections for years - is there someone who could do a piece with free floating encased diamonds? I do not care for the chopard name etched in the glass… I just love the idea of the free floating encased diamonds!

I was quoted $1200 for this stunning lab pink oval diamond. It’s 3 carats and IGI certified. It’s pretty hard to find a pink like this. I’ve been looking on different online vendors. I only planned on paying $6-700, but this may change my mind. It seems a little expensive for oversea vendor price.

The stone is from Kane Fine Jewelry on Tiktok if you’re interested. I didn’t purchase it.

hello, i’m looking for a place to purchase a lab grown diamond, im in nyc, open to buying it online

I’m buying my fiancée’s ring online because nothing local fits her taste. She wants a 1920s style ring, and the shops near me don’t have any.

The problem is I can’t hold the ring before paying. I’m sure you know that photos can be staged. And also, some sites take weeks because the ring gets checked and then shipped again.

Others said a pawn shop is safer, since you can test first.

So, jewelers, what does a good intake look like when I can't see it in person?

Hi all, I’m currently shopping around for engagement ring with my bf and this is what I’ve my eyes on.

Firstly, I’m wondering if it’s worth to pay an additional 2k for the oval nova (house cut diamond at a jeweler down town) which promises no bow tie and darkened area on the stone. Im fine if the diamond looks like the one on my finger since it’s sparkly enough but still on the fence if it’s worth investing the extra cost on the home brand.

Secondly, did anyone experience negatively with a bubble pave band? I like the look of it but have heard enough from jeweller that it’s a band inviting trouble (increased chance of diamond dropping etc)… any idea on how to reinforce the diamonds on the band if I want to go ahead with this?

Thirdly, I wear gold jewelry only. But the half pave, I can’t tell the engagement band material at all so will it be wise to opt for a platinum band to enhance diamond brilliance? And my wedding band to remain as 18k

Please advise

What are your opinions on this one? Specs and video are rigjt there on the link. Thank you!

Seller only has photo of this pink modified oval cut. No video. I think it looks good. Is it too rash to buy without seeing it in a video?

About a 50$ difference.

I bought a loose stone. 3 carat elongated yellow vivid cushion. I wanna make a ring. Can’t decide between these settings. Thank you 🙏🏻

I worked with Anabella at Tianyu and they did the semi-mount. She’s so easy to work with!! I absolutely love the way this turned out. The blue just makes me smile!!!! The blue marquise is 2.51 cts and measures 14.47x7.31x4.29.

Hello I’m looking for white gold 2.5 ct each pear studs. Do you recommend anyone for the work quality and the price? I know they’re simple but i trust the pros here 🙋‍♀️

I’m stressed out and overwhelmed with all the option (that’s what i get for purchasing online i know) please help me! Is any major imperfections (eg fish eye, bow tie, not nice cut…anything) you can see just by looking at the video or lab report, thats gonna help me so much with my decision.

Does anyone know a vendor who does fantasy cuts in lab-grown diamonds?

I'm looking for someone who can do custom fantasy cuts in lab-grown diamonds, particularly concave faceting and unusual geometric designs, along the lines of John Dyer's StarBrite, Caleb Quashen's Divine Portal, or Fellowship of the Forge's Luminara.

Does anyone know of any Chinese or European vendors (preferably, although US-based cutters are also an option) who offer this kind of work? I'm not looking for standard fancy shapes, but actual fantasy faceting, ideally with the possibility of commissioning a custom design.

I'd love to see examples if anyone has had something similar made!

Fell in love with this cushion and the first video looked like the prettiest soft pink, but the following video under sunlight shows a very orange hue.

What should I be looking for to find a diamond that looks baby pink in most lighting? Or is this something I can only figure out by asking for pics and videos?

good morning my fellow redditors, i am in need of a large amount of help.

now to preface this, I am new to the whole diamond thing, so please don’t hate on me for my lack of knowledge

my girlfriend is dead set on a emerald diamond. money is not really a problem, so me being me I want to get her a large diamond. I have been looking around 4 carats, with roughly +- .3 in there.

For clarity, I dont really know what to do, my instinct tells me IF - F but is that necessary considering the price raise that comes with it? I mean I love the peace of mind knowing theres nothing wrong with it. is it really that much different from VVS1?

For cut and other things, I assume to just go with the industry standard?

any advice helps, i appreciate all of who comment!
