Rose Gold LOGR for my pale morganite is here!

[cellentani]

Here is the setting I ordered from LOGR.

 

[cellentani]

I customized it for an 8.5mm cushion, rose gold, and upgraded the diamonds to full-cut, G,VS quality.

 

[cellentani]

The workmanship is decent. It's not flawless, but I wasn't expecting perfection. Sitting with the 2 morganites: left one is pinker but SI2 quality, right one is more yellow, but the faceting is superb. There's another thread floating around about these.

One of the corner diamonds is dark, but after louping it, I don't think it's the diamond. I may have my jeweler clean it, and if that doesn't help, maybe have it removed to see what the issue is.

ETA: i thought this pic showed the dark one, but I guessed wrong. It's very apparent in other upcoming pics. Actually, I think this one was supposed to show that the inside needs polishing. It's hard to tell here, but it's not polished at all. Again, I expected that after reading other PSer's LOGR experiences.

 

[Ryon]

That looks really nice, these Ebay vendors are starting to look like a good option to me all the sudden. I was very skeptical at first, but you guys have shown me tons of good examples.

However, you should get it checked out just to be sure

 

[cellentani]

On the hand in different lighting: combo incandescent and natural.

 

[cellentani]

Okay, here you can see the bottom-left corner is a little darker than the rest of the halo.

 

[cellentani]

Better shot of dark corner. I louped it and the diamond's fine - must be polishing?!

 

[cellentani]

Otherwise, the setting's pretty nice.

 

[cellentani]

Here it is with my yellowish morganite.

 

[cellentani]

The rose gold definitely makes it more pink.

 

[cellentani]

One more of the yellow. Sorry my pics are so obnoxiously huge - I''ve resized them, even.

 

[cellentani]

Side profile. Also, you can see that the gallery/basket is a little wonky - one side is more square to the finger, and the other is more sloped. However, I think only I would notice that.

 

[cellentani]

With my included, pinker morganite.

 

[cellentani]

Another.

 

[cellentani]

This stone is actually very well cut too, but the inclusion (sort of needle-like) is reflected around the stone.

 

[cellentani]

So, I'll probably set my yellowish morganite in this setting, but I have to wait until 2 more stones arrive this week, so I can see how they look in rose gold.

Sorry for all the pics - I know it was a ton!

I think the ring is gorgeous, as are both of your morganites! Can''t wait to see finished pics! I have a set of morganite earrings set in rose gold with diamond halos, and it''s such a pretty look. You''re going to love your new ring!

Ryon, I knew going into this what the risks were. LOGR charges $249/ct to upgrade the diamonds. If you want to customize the size for a particular stone, they add a non-refundable $30 fee. It''s this fee that you cannot get back if you return it. And like I said, I don''t think it''s the diamond, I think it might be a polishing issue. Under 10x, it looks like the metal is dark, not the diamond.

I really like the rose gold look, will you set it at an angle like your picture or squared off?

Ryon- LOGR i think is a great place to get a RHR for a nice value, yes there is some variations, but overall good quality for your bucks... The customization fee non-refundable, I totally understand, and I have lost $40 from them before, because I customized something (not semi mounts) and just didn''t do it for me, but i was fully aware, it is better than keeping something that cost $450 that I did not truly love and would not keep.

 

[cellentani]

Thanks Vespergirl! I would love to see your morganite earrings - do you have a thread?

 

[cellentani]

And just for fun, with an 8.1mm round amethyst.

I understand where your comming from, but she stated other problems as well =(

It is good for what you paid I will agree, but I just don''t seem to believe they would sell some of the things they do for so cheap. Maybe they just put them together really fast or something.

If the jeweler approves though (confirms its nothing serious) I will change my mind

The morganite will be set squared-off. I just couldn't get it to sit straight in the setting.

And Ryon, I'll keep you posted about what my jeweler says. They actually did put this together really fast - China has really industrialized jewelry-making. Heck, even shipping was really fast - they sent it on Friday, and it arrived today!

 

[Ryon]

It is a really nice ring though, I got to set a 7x7 square cushion aquamarine here eventually for my gf

They have great feedback at LOGR, I may look into in the future. I just don''t like the idea of just putting it together so quick, the quality will almost always be an issue.

I completely understand how you feel, Ryon. And frankly, I''m glad to know you don''t just take the cheapest route when it comes to jewelry - I''m sure a lot of men would. For something special for your GF, I would be more concerned with quality too, and I probably wouldn''t go the LOGR route for an ER. Then again, my current ER (3rd setting) is in a $700 setting from my local jeweler.

Its not an Ering just a simple gift

Okay, a "simple gift" is something made out of bamboo or paper, lol.
