Wowie wow wow @peppermintpatty that rock is GORGEOUS. I love the setting idea you're going with, I hope you post some photos and video once it's set as well! Today I learned I need at least 5 carats

@Mooshi thanks so much! I'm excited about the setting too! I will post video's and photos when she is done. Glad I could help you out with the 5 carat need
I love that it doesn't look at all too big for me. I adore the shape!!!

I think it was you who sold a very pretty cushion a while back. Was it too small?

 

[peppermintpatty]

It's really gorgeous! Slightly wonky in the most wonderful way that makes it look like a true antique diamond.

@Lisa Loves Shiny thank you! I agree, the wonky is the chef's kiss! I am so thrilled it's wonky!!!

@Lisa Loves Shiny thank you! I agree, the wonky is the chef's kiss! I am so thrilled it's wonky!!!

I LOVE it, if you ever sell it you better txt me!!! I LOVE it, I don't want to order one because i feel like it will be too 'perfect' i am obsessed with yours because i feel like it's literally perfect wonkiness and looks so authentic!!

I will, but I doubt I will sell this one. @Inked maybe if you reach out to SCF's she would send you the pictures of the other one she sold so you can see if the 2 diamonds look fairly similar. Then you wouldn't be so unsure about ordering one. I would love for you to have one!!! I can tell you really want one, you just want to be reassured. Let me know if you end up ordering one! I hope you do!!!!

I am so excited to get a lab diamond OMC that looks authentic and wonky!!!!!

Yes! Do you have a thread or pictures of these somewhere?

ETA never mind I see we already talked about them in depth in the projects thread!!

I’m heading to the projects thread and hope I can find the discussion. The cuts are great.

Diamond Bucket Lab on Instagram is the source, see page one of this thread. Thank you @maryjane04

Thread 'Bling wishlist/projects for 2025'

Dec 15, 2024

As we are wrapping up 2024.. some of you might have ticked some things off this year Wishlist 2024. It's a good time to recap what we've achieved this year and start planning our bling goals for 2025.

This year I finally got my HG upgrade 5.68ct omc ring! And for 2025 I'm going to ask Santa for some bangles because my wrist needs some love too.

Let me know what you've got planned and bonus points for photos/inspiration. Love me some eye candy hahaha.

So I now have an OEC bracelet project started with all my super cheap OECs (these 2 here and the other ones i purchased from Alex) I have been buying. I sent them all off the DK to do a bracelet.

...and I am considering a 3 stone OMC which is why i bought the 2 small ones, but I am in no rush, i am low on money for it at the moment! LOL! Maybe if I sell something. AND I have had zero luck finding the right faceting for the main OMC diamond

Dear Inked, what did DK quote you for the bracelet? I just got a quote for 10k from a jeweller for the bracelet setting (Jessica McCormack Style). Looking forward to see your bracelet!

I just checked out Apexgems_lab on Instagram for live action shots of their old cuts. Excellent cuts, IMO. Thanks for the reference.

Hi @maryjane04, I think you are in Australia? Just wondering how you found the ordering process with this vendor?

Hi @maryjane04, I think you are in Australia? Just wondering how you found the ordering process with this vendor?

Hello Timely, yes I'm in Australia. We usually order via WhatsApp. If you're comfortable doing that then it's great. I've since ordered my friend a custom cut pear and omc and it was a breeze. I wasn't happy with the initial cut and he recut it a few more times to my satisfaction. If you're confident and know what you like then this vendor will be great.
