Show me the Bling - the Laboratory Grown version!

[cushioncutnut]

Thank you! I was really impressed with the OEC moissanite I purchased from Tianyu a couple years ago and I finally got to see some of their lab OECs from other posters on Reddit. Unfortunately Tianyu doesn’t make too many OECs as they’re a little more difficult to cut and lose more material in the cutting process than the RBs…at least from what I’ve read from other posters.

I’ll try to share the ring once I figure out what I want. If I decide to make it into an RHR, I might do a target ring!

It is beautiful! Please show us pics of the settings you are considering.

So this is my current e-ring setting, which I considered, but I don't think I'll go this route since I don't plan on replacing my e-ring after all: https://debebians.com/products/8-pr...8&_fid=96b8bed74&_ss=c&variant=41697046495329

I'm thinking of something along the lines of this because emerald is my birthstone and green happens to be my favorite color!: https://ivyandrose.com/products/old...CLzPPhejDtFnh4HdoI_z05psCMBKwr0waAlo3EALw_wcB



Or this one!:



I've worked with Ivy and Rose a couple times and they've been fine, although I might try to show this to my local jeweler and see if they can emulate something similar. I'm not really concerned of having the stone look super white (I really wanted a near colorless OEC!) so I might get this in yellow gold.

I don't want anything super big, but I definitely want lots of bright green.

I've also considered blue sapphire as well as it's my husband's birthstone, but if I go that route I'll stick with the white gold.

That will be gorgeous!

Here is my engagement ring upgrade. So happy with it. @DejaWiz helped me with the stone. Setting by David Klass.

LGD antique square cushion, ~ 0.50 ct, sterling silver setting, Advertised as G-H, VS, and it seems accurate. Quite sparkly. Cheaper than a short, 1.5 mm gold chain these days. From Ouros, who I’ve had good experiences with. (You get what you pay for and that’s fair.)

It isn’t an AVC but it’s not pretending to be. It’s at least as pretty, if not prettier, than a lot of lab grown colored stones set in silver that are for sale everywhere. It’s cheaper than some moissanite (which is a pretty stone in its own right). LGD are such a game changer.
