Show me the Bling - the Laboratory Grown version!

I don’t know if Chinese sellers are popular here, but I like to work with them.
My newest project was a pink diamond ring from Fiorese jewelry:



The center stone is 2.08 ct., VS1, fancy vivid pink.
I’m really happy with the color, and also with the craftsmanship of the setting.

Got a new bauble this week. 1ct Alex Park marquise, set in a custom Ivy and Rose E/W bezel (based off an existing design that they had a large garnet in)
I couldn’t be happier with it. I’m feeling yellow gold lately, and this goes with everything while also feeling sleek and fluid.
The bezel makes it seem much larger than just a 1ct, too. It’s a size 8.
I haven’t had it long enough to take decent pics with it, but I’m in love.

How do you like the setting? I bought a ring from them second hand and I find the setting is quite flimsy 14kt. Makes me hesitate to use them directly.

Here is my forever upgrade! CVD 2.51 F VS1. I just wanted a classic beautiful sophisticated solitaire with no pave, and a dainty tulip basket. I’m in love.

I had my ring remade with a 2mm shank and the claw prongs very sleek. Additional burnished diamond band.

Definitely gonna need deets on this one!

@Mooshi happy to oblige. It’s a 3.01 J/VS2. CvB designs reset the stone from this ring linked below. I’m loving it! Way more than I expected. It was supposed to be a rhr but I’m enjoying it as an alternative left hand ring.

3.4 carats for 34 years from DbL

I dipped my toes into the LGD world. Thanks to @SparklieBug for passing this amazing stone’s IG link along to me. She knew I needed over 9mm (finger size 7.5) and this just fit the bill! At 3.01 carats, this stone ticked all the boxes for me! Small table, fat arrows, size, color, 0.7 HCA score...

My 5.6ct F/VS1 crisscut.
And it's huge, need some time to get used of it. At least i won't have DSS for a while lol

This is an exceptional ring. May I ask where you bought it? Did you find the stone separately and if you did, may I ask where? Any pointers on how to determine the best geometry for this cut? Any thoughts would be very helpful to me.

Thank you so much!! I got the stone and setting from Fiorese Jewelry. You can find them on Instagram. I don't know what the best geometry would be but i like the corners a bit rounder.

I had this 4.01 ct, EVVS2 H&A center stone originally set as a solitaire and enjoyed it for a year...but always felt it was lonely. Picked up 2 diamond side stones on LGD and had my jeweler re-design the setting. I love it now! 6-stone anniversary band is 3 cttw and also labs, designed locally and set low for comfort.

Distinctive Gem OMG set by Steven Kirsch. Full thread here.

@kcoursolle absolutely gorgeous! I love Jon’s stones.

I find their setting (tennis bracelet and hoops) are not as great as ones I get from US vendor so in the end, I don’t think they save me much.

That is neat. I wish that seller had a normal online site. I stopped following because it is frustrating seeing “sold” all the time. Good for them, tho.

Looking for "affordable" and "cheap" vendor to make a thin simple bezel for this 12x8 pear.

I love catching the arrows

 

[Dhana]

@pancake can u post a picture of the earring from khamkhar on Etsy - I want to see the back of the stones.. is it a closed design ? I can’t find a picture with the back . I am contemplating either getting it from there or elizabethjewelleryinc ..

 

[Ibrakeforpossums]

So... We have the SMTB section for all things Mined Diamond and other stones, but we don't have anything collecting Man Made Diamond / Laboratory Grown Diamond items.

I think that's a shame, so I propose that we use this thread to collate pictures of Pricescope members' items, be it a half carat from Lightbox or a 3ct+ from AVInc. or LAD!

Sadly I can't start the thread off as I don't have anything bling myself yet lol, so please do post away if you have something!

@OoohShiny, are you still around? I've looked for you many times.

There was a recent thread on Reddit where somebody had a setting with a milgrained bezel made by Starsgem(?). The vendor used the dimensions off the diamond's cert, added something like .3mm, and it worked great. But her jeweler told her the milgrain should be added after the stone is set. Sorry, but I couldn't quickly locate it and don't have time to search. The vendors contact info is all in the wiki at the top of the Moissanite subreddit.

Thank @AdaBeta27 !

I actually found a 14k setting from a vendor on eBay for a pretty good price. Will post pics when the ring is ready!

Apologies for the delay. It is open - like any other U prong setting really.

Hi Everyone,

Long time reader and lurker and first time poster here.

Since this year is ending and has been tough I decided to get myself a LGD and had it made into a ring. More like a little pat on the shoulder. So i ended up with this 6.52 pear 17.21 x 10. 42 x 6.37 mm. 60% Table, 13.5% Crown, 44% Pav in
G colour VS2. Ex Sym & Ex Polish.

The jeweller just sent me the video of the finished product and my heart sank as I thought it will be a finger firecracker (like loads of fire). But I think I need to manage my expectations.

thoughts on the piece?

You have an amazing ring headed your way! The only “problem” with it is that you will have to watch out for bumping into things because you will be staring at this beauty instead of paying attention to where you’re going!
