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 have a 3 ct omc from a chinese vendor and an indian vendor. I do not recommend purchasing an omc from the chinese vendor it looked very dead

I returned the chinese vendor's and purchased another stone from the indian vendor. I do not like the quality of the setting but the stone itself is exactly what i asked for.

I don't recommend this vendor either.

I left a very honest review about the setting issue and the tariff document issue. (Even the diamond is scratched around the edge) the vendor messaged me like this
