Well, I think you should buy one. :twisted2:
Haha!!! Oh, man...I have so many stones on my wishlist, already. :lol: Nearly all of them antique cuts, too! :love:

I've been trying to offload the loose colorless H&A stone I got from Mona, but it's not moving. It's not a bad stone, I'd just rather have antique, warmer stones at the moment. :appl:
 
Hahaha mine too! I just didn't know how I felt about cut. But that color is perfect

I bet Tianyu could cut the elongated ACC with the long culet. Just sayin’

Sorrynotsorry.
 
ahhhhhhhhhhh Mona just sent me these vids of the criss-cut.


dammit, only 1 is working to upload, 2nd one coming soon!
 
2nd one!

 
Oooohhh...what do you think? :Up_to_something2:;-)
 
:lol: Same...every time she posts an antique cut I try hard not to message her and ask to make a ring. :lol::shock:
Haha exactly! So hard! I didn't even know this cut existed until I saw the diamondrensu post, and I didn't like that color. But seeing it here is just lovely!

But there are so many other things on my "want" list!
 
Aaaaahhh!!! You're right, the wait is a pain. I'm so excited to see your ring! :love::appl:
Here is my ring. I love it so much. The detail melee stone on the basket is perfect. Working with Mona is a breeze. I recommend her business. I hope these pics help.

Oh wow!!! She did an amazing job! Your ring is lovely. :love::kiss2: I love the facets and the fine detail!

I'm glad another PS member had a great experience with her!

Yes she did. Thank you. I am still trying to get used to this big stone haha :lol-2::lol-2::lol-2:. Though, if I make another ACC ring, it would be a chubby ACC canary yellow color with small culet center stone ring.

Love your ring!!!! So pretty and the size is perfect on you!
 
I have been working with Mona on a pair of H&A studs (6.5 mm each). She has sent me videos of both the DEF and the GH stones she uses (I'm assuming she sources from Starsgem, but I didn't ask). Both looked good; I wound up choosing the slightly warmer stones. She said she'll send me a CAD tomorrow and that the earrings should take about 10 days. I'll post reports and photos as we move through the process!

Yay! I’m super excited for you! :dance: Yes, please post your progress! I will live vicariously through you, ha!

I’m glad Mona is getting more customers; she’s so sweet and definitely cares about what she does. A few weeks ago she told me she felt a little sad because a prospective customer didn’t feel comfortable working with her..apparently it was because her prices were low and he took it as a bad sign. I told her not to worry about that and she would get more customers eventually. =)2
 
Thank you! I really like working with her - I know several people who did so when she was at SG (and have also read experiences of those on this board) and all reported positive experiences. It's nice to work with someone who is venturing out on their own, plus I know she already brings lengthy experience to the process. I'm hoping that smaller business may mean better attentiveness/communication. :)

For anyone who wants to look at the stones she's offering (or see some of her finished pieces), her Instagram is moissy_diamond_jewelry: https://www.instagram.com/p/BvMAcohnbDB/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet

Oh, I definitely agree. The only other vendor I worked with was Tianyu, which I thought was fine, but Mona was just much better. I never felt like I was rushed talking with her and I felt like she really cared. Not to mention she always sent me updates and actual pics of my stones that were cut! :D

I wonder if Starsgem teaches their employees to be customer service oriented because I’ve spoken to a couple from there and they’re super nice, too.
 
I had a similar experience with Tianyu last summer. The customer service was okay, but I was super disappointed with the quality of the stone I received. Returned it and decided to go with something else.

Too much temptation on this thread! I got an elongated ACC from Tiyanu and loved it but sold it right away as the stone was too large for my taste. But I could go smaller...

I have been buying like I have money to spend. Must stop!!!

I've been trying very hard not to message Mona or anyone else for a 7mm OEC. She keeps posting photos of her OEC, though, and it's been driving me crazy! :lol:

I've been waiting on my other ring, though so I've been really antsy this past week. :oops:

I gotta take this new baby out for sunbathing. Allow me to provide more temptation on this thread. :lol::lol::lol:

The last pic. is a comparison with my VS2 I color diamond :mrgreen2::mrgreen2::mrgreen2:. My phone camera doesnt give this baby justice :cry2::cry2::cry2:
 
Nnoooooooo.... :love::lol: Your rings are so gorgeous!!!
 
I love it when I see free shipping! It’s a psychological thing, but I’ll buy one with free shipping before I’ll buy one without, even if it adds up to the same total :lol:
LOL, I know, right?? I am pretty sure it is express shipping with the total cost, too! =)2

This is fantastic! Would you mind sharing the price? It's ok if you don't, just want a ballpark
Was it platinum?
Really gorgeous!!

Thank you. This ring is platinum with 7x9mm ACC G/H color size 6. I got it made for $590 with paypal fee and shipping. During the making, Mona said the rough stone for this ring is in a good condition so it turned out DEF color after cut. Hence, I got it without extra charge. I guess lucky me.:clap::clap::clap:
