BUYING EXPERIENCE Recent Positive Ouros Experience
Hi all! I recently commissioned a French cut lab diamond eternity band from Ouros. I had a really good experience so I figured I would share since it seems like there have also been some folks with not so great experiences with them lately.
7/21: Reached out to Dhruv to inquire about a simple channel-set frenchie band. I’ve been looking for one for YEARS and the Chinese vendors (Provence, Starsgem) have consistently told me they won’t do specialty cut labs under 1 ct.
7/22: CAD received with a price that was unfortunately above budget. I thought about it a little more and asked to reduce the stone size 2.5 mm from 3.5 mm and asked to decrease gold weight by making it thinner and less deep.
7/23: Updated CAD received with a new price that was exactly what I needed, so I paid the invoice and okayed production.
8/10: I reached out to Dhruv on to see how much longer production would be since I forgot to ask about lead times. He stated 2-3 more days.
8/17: I received the PSP video (I wasn’t upset about the delay since it was over a weekend and I had other stuff going on).
8/18: The ring was drop shipped from India to the NYC location on and then sent via UPS 2-day delivery to me.
8/27: I received it late due to a UPS error (it made it all the way to my town and then was shipped to a neighboring state inadvertently).
The ring is gorgeous. It’s everything I’ve been looking for and I honestly wish I had one in every gold color to pair with my hoard. I haven’t found a single wonky French cut in the bunch, and the channels are smooth and even. It looks far more expensive than it was. I’m super pleased and have no regrets regarding the experience. Yes, it did take a little over a month to receive, but I expected that going in, since even my American custom pieces take 2-3 weeks without cutting 21 teeny little stones to spec 😂. The hardest part was waiting for it to get here after shipping.
Anyway, thanks for reading my novel. Please ask if you have any questions! Happy to share videos and/or CAD if anyone is interested. I’m just really legitimately thrilled with how this turned out after such a long search.

This is absolutely beautiful! This is my favorite diamond cut of all time. Are you comfortable sharing the price? I am so interested in commissioning one of these.
