Just for my last piece of my collection for a while!! I love my yellow gold 2.5 RB, but I’ve got bigger hands and wanted something else in the mix with more finger coverage. Here’s my new hearts and arrows 3.73 round f, vs2 in a cathedral setting. Picture comparing to my 2.5 was before I sent it back to jeweler to have claw prongs.

do you have specs on this??? Where did you get it from?

I got it from art of jewels! but I am sure the same diamond was listed on every other lab diamond site. It's F VS1 with 1.57 ratio, GIA graded lab diamond

My most recent cheap and cheerful purchase. I bought the stone at auction for a criminally low price. Had the setting made by Starsgem and then had it set by local jeweller Vahe in the south east of Melbourne.

Specs: 2.86ct L SI1 HCA 1.3. Setting is 14k yellow gold in size 5.75.

I got my newest a couple weeks ago. I'm still getting used to the size, but I really love it! 4.75 ct, I, VS2 from Ritani.

This is so pretty! Which setting did you choose please? A side view would be amazing!

my LGD solitaires:

Left to Right & Top to Bottom:
4.01ct E/VVS2 MRB
11.47 H/VS2 radiant
10.22 G/VS1 emerald
3.69 D/VVS1 MRB
6.01 E/VVS2 oval
5.04 E/VVS2 pear
5.01 D/VVS1 MRB
10.12 G/SI1 oval
4.15 E/VVS2 emerald

I also have an oval diamond eternity band (0.4ct per diamond) & a pair of 6ctw E/VS1 MRB studs

I'm hoping to add a 15ct - 25ct emerald cut, radiant, or elongated cushion soon.
And possibly a 6.5ct - 10ct MRB.

I like how consistent you are with your style. No temptation for yellow gold? Or a bezel? I strive for variety in my collection but I think I would actually be happier if I stuck to what I like best! Which is white metals, like you’ve got!

Wanted to share my new fun-ring! 4,01ct F SI1 (uncertified so to be taken with a grain of salt). It is so beautifully cut but my phone camera has a hard time capturing it because it keeps switching between the three cameras at the back. The only way I was able to capture the arrows properly was by doing this

It is incredibly white and clean to the eye. I have never taken a chance on anything below VS2 before, and was pleasantly surprised. Can’t see anything even with my little loupe, and nothing that obstructs the sparkle either! Also attached a comparison to my certified 3,01ct oval F VS2. And if you’re into looking at sparkles as much as me, here’s a video link:

My two new lab diamonds! The melee are natural stones. Couldn’t decide which setting I like more, so I did both!

My newest, 5.58 ct, I, VS1 cushion, price matched by Rare Carat. I am really happy with the stone. The vendor video looked way more tinted than what I see in real life. The setting, however, is way higher than I wanted, so I may send it back to get a new setting.

Not only do I love this diamond and cut, I love this setting with it - Love the width of the band.

That stone is AMAZING! If you ever get tired of her, please let me know!
