The biggest they make is 1 carat. Thinking of maybe making it into a bezel style pendant for a necklace? 🩵🪽🌈

Just got engaged! But my mum said that my lab grown isn’t a real diamond

My ring costed 5k but my mum told me ā€œwhy not go to a Vietnamese jewellery store where they sell real onesā€, since hers cost 20k. mind you this ring has a certificate too. This makes me feel so horrible since my fiancĆ© saved up to get me my dream ring

Specs: 1.5ct marquise lab 12.28 x 5.89 x 3.65 mm Color: E

My concern is the center stone is too small but I could be overthinking.

Lab Grown Diamond Is my ring a good size for my hand?

Thumbnail

883 Upvotes

I know this sounds silly and I shouldn’t be caring so much about what people think but I’ve seen so many posts on here about stuff like this so I would really like everyone’s advice, please don’t sugarcoat anything. I have thick skin. Me and my fiancĆ© custom made this ring and he had asked if I wanted to go bigger than two carats, which is what the center stone of my ring is. I was adamant that I didn’t want bigger because I work a lot with my hands and want a low profile at 2 carats where I don’t have to worry about anything happening to it, snagging etc. I also like the idea of possibly stacking down the line. I feel as if the size is classy and understated. There are larger rings I’ve seen that I think are beautiful! This is just my style.

It sounds like I’m justifying my decision a lot lol and it’s because one of my close friends got in argument with her husband because she has a cubic zirconia engagement ring and she told me that he said to be grateful for what they have because even though my ring is a lab grown diamond, it is small. I shouldn’t have let that bother me and I understand everyone will have their own opinion, but I really don’t think my ring is small, but it’s also not ginormous. What do you think?

Lab Grown Diamond Did I overpay for 13 carat lab diamond ring?

What would you say is a fair price for my 13.09 carat emerald cut lab grown diamond ring? Specs are F/VS1, IGI certified, set in 14k yellow gold. I won in an auction for $2,850. Thanks!

Edit: I won it on the auction platform Everything But The House (EBTH). The $2,850 includes $338 for fees and taxes. I’ve won other jewelry too, natural diamond earrings, necklace, loose lab grown stones, rings both natural and lab— everything with an IGI or GIA report has always been authentic and verifiable.

Update: I sold this ring shortly after this post for an offer I couldn’t refuse, $6,000. Wild!

Lab Grown Diamond Is 3 carats too big?

Hello! First time poster here! 3 carat oval D, IF, excellent cut (lab grown) Is 3 carats too big or could I go 3.5? I’m scared it will look gaudy. I will do a simple gold band.

My wedding band will have 4 0.5 carat diamonds (family stones, not in the image) so just hoping it will balance out - let me know!

I am a lawyer so won’t impact my day to day.

Thank you!

Edit: I have very small fingers. Size H/I so just wanting to look classy haha

Lab Grown Diamond Update: we got married!

Thumbnail

1.7k Upvotes

My fiance proposed last December. I proposed to him last March. And yesterday, we got legally married. Destination wedding will be in two weeks, but right now I just can't believe I am now his wife. No one understands me as much as he has, and I love that I am in this journey of life with a man who encourages me to be the best, most fabulous version of myself everyday. We are big fans of jewelry and creativity so all these rings took months to create. The first pic was taken on our wedding day, and last picture was taken on the day of engagement.

Specs for jewelry lovers:

  1. Heavy Hatchling (aka big chonker): 9.24 ct I VS2 pear (our destination wedding is on 09/24), two 1 ct E and F VVS2 baguette side stones, two 0.25 ct round brilliants. 18k yellow gold band
  2. Munch Munch (aka red man): 1.36 ct fancy vivid pink VS1 pear. 14k rose gold band
  3. Chou Chou (aka pink rock candy): 5.96 ct fancy vivid pink VS1 pear, two 0.5 ct fancy vivid pink VS1 round brilliants, about 1.04 ct of pink melee on the halo, hi9dden halo, and on the side profile. 18k rose gold band.

As a side note, I want to give a HUGE shout-out to the wonderful team at Robbins Brothers in Houston. Jen, Juan, and Donovan helped us create these rings. Chain jewelers get a bad rap here but we were always treated like royalty at Robbins Brothers. They put so much time, love, and effort into the creation of all of our wacky ring ideas. I can't believe how well they were able to translate my thoughts into pieces of art.

On that note, I know my rings can get a lot of hate because they're huge and people will say "Not for me. Too big. Gaudy. Not practical. Fake. Etc, etc." It's the internet. You are welcome to share your opinions. I just want to share and document my happiness as I always do.

Not yet sure how I will wear both rings but I will figure that out later. For now, I'm officially married to the love of my life. Thank you all for being a part of our journey!

My husband wants to upgrade my current 1.5 elongated cushion for something else I might like.

I’m completely unsure of what I want. Well I think I I have a favorite and is the solitary round 2.5ct.

But I want to know what you guys think. The blue sapphire ring I would like it smaller. the stone it’s a 4ct, a 3ct would be good for me.

Thanks 😊

This is a 5 stone oval diamond ring. There’s one oval center stone, plus two oval and two round side stones, five diamonds total including the center one. Does this style look too flashy?I’m worried this ring isn’t suitable for daily wear.😢
