Thank you!In my experience, I've had to place/pay for the order, then choose stones.
Thank you!
I have three pieces I want...have people been generally happy with the custom settings they’ve gotten?
Yayyyyyy cannot wait to see it!!!Soooo...just purchased a loose 6.0mm OMC in GH color!
I decided to forego the setting; I texted the photo of the setting to my jeweler and he said he would want the head to be die-struck. I didn’t think it was necessary since it’s not like the setting is exposed but it gave me pause.
I’ll share photos of the OMC when received. Finally something that isn’t round or colorless!
I really cannot wait. I kept waffling between this and a French cut eternity band for weeks. Ultimately I couldn’t commit to the band because I hated the idea of crushing the stones. I may just buy a CZ eternity or half eternity on Berricle or Amazon. If I can handle those, I might upgrade to the moissys.Yayyyyyy cannot wait to see it!!!

They have a contract with DHL Speedpak so once it arrives at DHL Hong Kong and starts tracking, it usually arrives within 3 business days to the US. If you are in Canada or another VAT territory, you have to pay the taxes and then DHL will release it for delivery.For those that have ordered from Starsgem before, how long does it take for them to ship via DHL? I was quoted 3-5 days. Seems fast so want to find out. I will be out of town soon so want to coordinate to make sure I get the package before I take off.
@Ksparkles87 holy cow it’s gorgeous!!! How much did they quote you if you don’t mind sharing?

I think I paid around $560 for the ring? It’s 9k white gold, size 6, with 1mm rounds for the under halo and 1.8mm round melee stones. Demi is who I’ve been working with and she’s amazing. I ordered the emerald cut solitaire and the OMC ring through eBay and then emailed Demi directly for 3 additional rings that I have them making right now and I’m about to add a 4th oval ring here shortly. I love both the emerald solitaire and the OMC, the facets on both are perfect. The emerald gives gorgeous flashes of sparkle and the OMC offers a beautiful mix of flashes and sparkle. Only thing I’d change is I’d get the emerald colorless instead of GH, only because of the slight warmth that shows more given the large size of the stone and step faceting. I’m considering ordering a new one in DEF and selling the GH solitaire, but not positive yet.
Here’s a better photo of the of the emerald cut paired with my real diamond band.
I know! Lol! I just need to have them alllllll! There are just so many cuts I’ve wanted to try for a long time in larger carat weights and this is the perfect opportunity at great prices to do that! I’ll definitely share when I receive them all!You get to join a few of us in the ‘I now have one of everything because I like them all’ club! LOL!
Post pics and your thoughts when you get the rest!
You can start with Cherry at the above email address but she will probably assign you to a rep. It is sometimes faster just to start with WhatsApp or the chat system on their Alibaba page.Do you find it’s better to reach a particular salesperson directly or just email the [email protected] address?
My project list is getting a little out of control...
They are very good with the cushion’s and I agree that the G/H is the way to go. You need a little color to be able to appreciate the facet pattern. Can’t wait to see what you do with it!My OMC is here!!!! And I freaking love it!!!! I was worried I wouldn't love it as much as the OEC but I don't regret getting this one at all. I made the right choice:
With my rounds:
At 6.0mm it is the perfect size! I know everyone likes big stones but this one fits my size 3.75-4.0 finger perfectly, ahhhh!!! And the GH is amazing in antique cuts. I can actually SEE the beautiful facets and the depth of the stone!
Demi was so lovely to work with and I can definitely say I am a Starsgem fan. I cannot wait to get this mounted onto yellow gold!
Thank you, @swaye2010 ! You’re absolutely right about GH. Thanks for all your helpful advice, despite my annoying indecision! :roll I’ll keep you all posted with my ring project...They are very good with the cushion’s and I agree that the G/H is the way to go. You need a little color to be able to appreciate the facet pattern. Can’t wait to see what you do with it!
What is the official WhatsApp? Or should I just pick a rep’s WhatsApp?You can start with Cherry at the above email address but she will probably assign you to a rep. It is sometimes faster just to start with WhatsApp or the chat system on their Alibaba page.
Thanks! And you’re right, the color is very subtle. There is no yellow in it or any strange coloring; it’s just a smooth vanilla.Omg that faceting is glorious! And the color is perfect. Not start white but not obviously tinted either. I can't wait to see what you do with it!
