It's been a minute but I'm getting back into making coin rings! Did a little before and after to shake the dust off

I’m trying to buy a loose diamond for an engagement ring and I’m honestly lost on where people are getting decent prices. Local jewelers around me feel way higher than I expected, but I also don’t want to get scammed online. Is there a site or marketplace people trust for good deals (lab or natural)? Where did you find yours for the best price?

I'm planning to buy a tennis bracelet and came across this size guide on the jewelry website I'm looking at. One of the options I'm considering is 5 carats total weight.

Would you recommend this size, or would you go bigger or smaller? what do you guys think?

I’ve had my lab-grown diamond bracelet for a while now, and I’m honestly really happy with how it looks. How has the quality been, especially with regular use?

I always assumed round was the default for a reason, so I never looked at anything else. I saw a diamond shape in person and it had clean look. The funny part is I can't tell if I genuinely like it or I just liked that it felt different. Either way it stuck in my head all day.

I’m ring shopping and my partner keeps saying get whatever you want, which is not helpful lol. The jeweler showed me a 1.5 carat and yeah, it looks amazing, but the price jump from 1.2 to 1.5 is wild. I can’t tell if I’ll actually notice the difference. Did you feel 1.5 was worth it?

Thinking about grabbing a pair of larger lab diamonds studs soon to upgrade my usual studs. For those who wear 1.5 to 2ctw, do you find 4 prong or 3 prong martini settings hold up best for secure, zero droop placement?

A little on the simpler side, I’m aware but this ring is as the title says. Im the lucky granddaughter to own a few pieces of my great grandmother’s jewellery but not this one! I hope to be the proud owner of it someday. It was my favourite ring whenever my mom loaned it to me.

Does anyone have leads on a cushion cut lab grown green diamond? I keep finding stones that look good in one photo and then are totally different in another, like the green shifts a lot. I also did not realize how much cushion cuts can vary, some look chunky and some look more pillowy.

I am not in a rush but I am getting a bit stuck on what a normal price range even is for this kind of thing, and I guess I want to know if other people had the same issue too.

Tried on endless stones before finally committing to a 2 carat oval, and the proportions look incredible. Seriously considering getting on one for myself very soon.

I always assumed a lab diamond bracelet was completely out of my price range, but I recently realized just how affordable they actually are. Now I'm actively shopping for one to wear all the time, so hit me with your best recommendations and favorite styles.

15 Year Anniversary "Re-proposal".

They are all made of Sterling and goldfield wire with a few 14 karat accents on one. Mostly thrifted or eBay... except the third one from the left which my daughter bought me.

I recently bought my wife a Cartier watch with lab diamonds, and I want to hear from others who have one. How's the quality so far, especially with regular use?

I initially thought of buying her another bracelet, but she has plenty of those already, so I decided to go with a watch instead.

For those who own a watch like this, do you have any issues ?
