Loosegrown has gotten pretty good for OEC and inexpensive!

@maryjane04 I see I wrote SC and not SCF! I think I will like it, hoping I love it. My OEC was 10mm, the OMC is 11mm.

I missed that! Your earrings are beautiful! I can relate. I always sleep in my earrings. I do best with 1.50 tcw. My natural diamonds I just had David set are closer to 1.80. I hope I can sleep in them! I sent them right back to David for different backs. So excited to get them back and wear them.

I got a pair of OEC's from Alex. I think the dormeuse idea is a great one!!! Are you open to changing the setting? They should be worn and often!

Oh wow haha 11mm is the size of my HG stone! I can't wait for you to get it haha.

Aww thank you haha yeah I haven't worn studs in decades but thought it was missing from my collection. Lmao I probably shouldn't have started with 4ctw ones hahaha. I might reset down the track or leave them. My everyday earrings are a huggie drop style so I'm back to wearing those instead. I'll bring the studs out occasionally.

Mary, what is a huggy drop style? I have never worn diamond earrings because I don’t like fussing with my earrings every single day and I don’t find comfortable to sleep in. Is there some other style I need to know about?

Hi, I know you didn't ask me, but I once had a pair of earrings Leon Mege made for me and he called them huggie drops. Imagine a fish hook earring top, but the kind that fastens at the back. The diamond is in a dormeuse type setting at the bottom, but it doesn't dangle, it is stationary. The way the earring is made, the diamond is designed to sit at the bottom of your ear lobe (right against it at the bottom). So the diamond appears to be suspended, but right next to your lobe.

I also wanted to compliment you on your skills. Looking at those before and after pics you posted, I don't know how in the world you were able to discern that the diamond would be so beautiful by that crunchy looking pic! Wow!

Haha I wear these to sleep. These are the most comfortable earrings ever and I never have to think about them. It feels secure about it clips in and it's not something that can come off like the stud backings.

Hi hello @Inked , I am looking for a 4.5ct ish OMC incase you're curious about what to do with the 2nd unneeded omc. I'm not particular about facet pattern, just been browsing LGD for something like this for a while.

oh thats awesome

Thank you so much for your explanation and sorry to hijack the thread. Ah no wonder why I love my lab oecs so much. I think very similar proportions to what you just described. I'll attach the cert. These were quite different to the mass lab oecs that we've seen.

And as for lab omc, I just saw Sin City finds on IG post some good ones that she's about to get.

Thank you @Inked I've learned so much from your posts and everyone else's in the lab forum that I don't feel completely lost! There's always so much to learn.
