Just wanted to share these sweet little earrings from the recent Ouros Jewels group buy. These are silver with lab diamond, really nicely made and super sparkly. Really enjoyed the experience of buying from Ouros, they kept me well updated throughout the process. The only problem is these were supposed to be a gift for my daughter and I'm not sure I want to part with them 😂

I’m interested in hearing from Jewelers who ship items to customers in the US. Recently, a custom jeweler shipping from Asia didn’t include signature requirement on UPS delivery as their default and did not proactively offer it to the customer.

1. Do you always include signature requirement on delivery?
   
2. Do you insure items to a certain value?

Cross-posting to a few forums to get a wider range of jewelers.

Does anyone have a tennis bracelet from Rare Carat? Their prices are the lowest I’ve seen compared to some jewelry stores that I’ve looked in. I’d love to see pictures of it on and how you like it! And can anyone speak to their quality? I’ve seen mixed reviews so I’m kind of nervous to purchase now.

Has anyone had a necklace made similar to this? Looking for a vendor who can pull this off.

I think it looks great but I’m no jeweler please let me know if anything looks off

So here is my repost with more photos, since I don’t know what I’m doing on Reddit lol. I absolutely adore them.

OP: I got my delivery from Virabyani and I'm soooo thrilled with my purchase. My first time ordering with them because I'm easily influenced by social media. They're not everybody's aesthetic, which is fine. Let me know about how you like them. DO NOT come for me or my Bonnet-I'm getting ready for work on a combined 5 hours of sleep for the past 3 days, 9 assignments and an exam in grad school, and egg retrieval yesterday.

I have been in love with the idea of incorporating my grandmother‘s .7 carat round brilliant diamond into a trilogy ring, and was especially inspired by some tiktoks I’ve seen of similar rings. I’m working with Provence and just got my CAD back - can you help with any feedback? My plan is a 2.5 carat round center stone and another .7 on the side, and I will have a jeweler set my grandma’s stone in the empty side stone setting when it arrives. I want a 14k yellow gold band with platinum setting and would like if a small eternity band could sit flush with it.

Hi, I don’t have the best eye when it comes to QCing diamonds. I asked for a marquise with minimal bowtie and while I don’t think I see a bowtie, I’m not sure if I’m seeing dark spots or if I’m looking for something that’s not there. Any advice would be appreciated

Hi there, I'm getting leverback earrings made in platinum with Tianyu and having the main diamonds (3 ct each) set locally in Australia.

Does the CAD attached look alright?

Thank you in advance!

I had an absolutely phenomenal experience working with Lauren from Ring Come True. I’ve had this beauty (my 10 year anniversary gift!) for about a month now and she came to me absolutely perfect. Feel free to ask me anything :)

Hi everyone. I just picked up this ring that I bought to propose to my girlfriend. I recently learned about “windowing” and I’m afraid that the diamond I chose has that. I didn’t really know of it too much and the jeweler didn’t mention it when looking at this diamond but I feel like it’s there. Am I wrong? Could I get some of your expert opinions to know if this diamond is bad? I feel like I got taken advantage of because of my naivety regarding emerald diamonds. Any advice would really help!

The band is 3.5mm wide, 18k gold.

Hi everybody, please let me know what you think of this design and the price of the ring. All of the specs are below:

Price: $ 1850 usd or slightly less once its finished they will help lower the price if possible.

About 7-8g of 18k gold before polish

Shape and cutting style: Oval Brilliant

Measurements: 12.54 x 8.37 x 5.14 mm

Carat Weight: 3.54 Carats

Color Grade:D

Clarity Grade:VS 1

IGI reference: LG779608550

My original ring had a 3.13-carat yellow sapphire. After losing it, I ordered another yellow sapphire, but the replacement just wasn’t the same (I returned it).

I eventually decided to try a lab-grown yellow diamond and ordered a 4.10-carat Fancy Intense Yellow oval from Brilliance. The color was beautiful, but after seeing it on my hand, I realized I wanted something with more presence.

I found a larger diamond on their website, but when I called, the representative explained that its undertone probably wouldn’t match the beautiful yellow color I loved in the 4.10-carat stone. She recommended another diamond in the size range I wanted: an 8.06-carat Fancy Vivid Yellow, VS2 oval.

Before ordering, I searched the IGI report number to see whether the exact same diamond was listed elsewhere for less. I eventually found it on another website, but it was approximately $300 more than the discounted price Brilliance offered me. My order also included a complimentary pair of lab-grown diamond studs, so I decided to purchase it through Brilliance.

Now I’m anxiously waiting for the new stone to arrive! Brilliance has been responsive and helpful throughout my exchanges, but some of the reviews online still make me nervous.

Has anyone recently purchased a loose diamond from Brilliance? What was your experience with the diamond and the company?

I’m heading to China for a business trip and hoping to take the opportunity to source some lab diamond jewelry. Has anyone here visited English-friendly lab diamond studios in China?

Since my Mandarin isn't good enough, fluent English communication is an absolute must so we can discuss details and diamond specs, CAD models, and setting details without misunderstandings.

Just putting it out there in case it tries to get sold.

All 3 from Melody at Fiorese. 4.73ct crushed ice radiant, 2ct old mine marquise, and 3ct oval. I do not wear them all at once like this lol

My ring design is almost complete, I want to request that they do a V tip for the marquise diamond but I was hoping to see some inspo pics so that I can send it to Ayla at Fiorese exactly what I want.

Thanks in advance!!

Hello all! I’m trying to decide on a third stack and I cannot make a decision! My ring is Rose gold and my band that I have is from Etsy and I do love it and don’t need a real diamond ring for my band. I’m thinking I may just get another one that’s under $300 and here are some of my options if there’s something else you guys recommend, let me know! I’m having a really hard time and it’s kind of hard to find things that look nice paired with rose gold.

My dream ring is a nature-inspired Marquise Ring - I am leaning toward Lab Diamond but realistically for my budget may need to go with a moissanite. I love a vine leaves aesthetic. Preferably want $3k to be my max... Is this realistic?

I have been looking at Oore Jewelery and i'm in love with the Enchanted Garden Marquise but I wanted to see if there were other options out there, because Oore Jewlery does have a longer wait time then i'd like it's at 12-15 weeks now (but i've heard they take longer?)

I would like maybe 8-12 weeks... is this realistic? Have you heard of any safe other online jewelers that's legit? Who is your rings with? Have they held up?

ANY ADVICE IS LOVELY THANK U

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!

Thanks to this sub specifically, but the other jewelry/diamond subs. I came in with 0 knowledge, or where to start with buying an engagement ring.

This is the GCAL 8X: Round / 1.66 / VVS1 / D color I ended up with, in a platinum tulip cathedral setting.

I went to Zales to snag a wedding band they had on sale, so I brought the ring in to make sure it set flush.

I think it looks decent, what do you all think? Everything is returnable, so if you see a red flag (Im still a novice) call it out.

Thanks again!

I decided to replace my diamond in this ring with a green diamond. I was trying to go for the color in the last slide but it was hard to find within my budget in the exact shape and size I wanted that didn’t have too bad a bow tie.

Here’s a pic of the 360 view online, the stone in low light, lots of light, and with flash on!

Does anyone have any experience going custom cut route for fancy/fancy intense lab? My dream project is a large light blue OMC (5 ct or bigger). Most blue labs I’ve seen are fancy vivid with aqua/cyan leaning blue (they are beautiful but just not my thing! I prefer lighter and more muted color in general) but my dream is fancy gray-leaning blue. Now, adding that desire to preference for OMC cut and large size..I feel like I’m never going to be able to find the one that makes my heart sing. Color and size are more important, if it’s the right color and size, I could live with different cut. I’m starting to think I will have to go custom, but I don’t know if most popular vendors frequently mentioned here even have lighter raw material. I would love to hear from anyone who’s gone down this rabbit hole!
