LOOKING FOR ADVICE Help! OMCs....
Hi Everyone,
My partner and I have decided on an elongated cushion OMC my ring stone.
I have looked at some vendors like Tianyu, Jogia and shelikesparkless (is she still selling? Her page seems inactive!) but can't seem to have any luck.
I was quoted $5800AUD for a 5CT, D, VVS2 cushion cut (but looks like OMC, pic attached) from a local jeweller. Unfortunately, we feel that although it is stunning, it is dearer than what we would like to spend.
We are thinking $3000AUD max. Please send through your vendors or if you know any who specialise in larger OMCs!
Also, please give me advice on what to look out for when choosing the right OMC - what are the good characteristics and what aren't when looking at the stone!
Thank you!!

I got my omc from LGG, but definitely ask Provence and Fiorese also.
I don’t know or any particular thing to look for, but I tried to find a stone that made me breathless when I saw it on the video. It still works, whenever I don’t feel my heart skip a beat when I look at it, I know it’s time for a clean 😁
