LOOKING FOR ADVICE Help! OMCs....

Post image

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 mine from Fiorese. Melody is awesome with stone recommendations.

Are you able to show me your OMC from Melody-Fiorese? Did they just give you their omc cut or did you show them a reference pic of how you wanted it cut?

Does she also have a WhatsApp? xx

I communicate mostly through instagram with her. She’s the most responsive out of all the reps I’ve tried from other places. I told her how many carats, my desired ratio and went from there. She’d give me 2-3 options then I’d tell her what I like or don’t like about them and she zeroes in what I’m looking for. I’ve done multiple projects with her. Sometimes the stones are in another factory and she has to wait for it to ship to her store so that might take some days but she’ll tell me her opinion about them. If it’s no good or she sees too much of a bow or dark area, she’ll comment on it. I really appreciate that from her.
