Show me the Bling - the Laboratory Grown version!

[Sparkles88]

Thank you @Sparkles88 and @Dhana. My husband takes terrible photos so this is the best I could do.

Thank you @kgizo for the photo, they look stunning on you, perfect size too. If only LB ships internationally, hopefully they will soon.

Your ring is one of my favourites here, it's so pretty!

I agree. The bezel is very pretty.

Really lovely! Looks so white and sparkly, and the setting looks perfect on you!

 

[foodie100]

And your band is lovely, too! Love it all.

 

[Marriedbuteloped]

I have posted here before but wanted to share my new setting.

I reset my 1ct princess cut Lightbox diamond into a Shiree Odiz setting. For most people here it is probably to plain but I absolutely love the architectural and geometric look.

I paired it with a Tiffany eternity channel band I bought from a PSer.

I believe my solitaire quest is over for now.....but I might start looking for a 5 stone band or built one from MMDs.

 

[muesli]

It looks great! The minimalistic setting goes beautifully with your princess cut .

I am very glad that you love it because that is all that matters

My GCAL certified 3.18 I Color SI2 RB from Brilliant Earth! I am having it set by DK in LA and he said he will be able to completely cover the SI2 causing inclusion. I was originally looking for an oval and after getting really frustrated, I decided to look at round brilliants to see what size stone I could get within my budget, as compared to an oval. I normally filtered out SI1s & SI2s because so many are not eye clean. I forgot to do this one night and happened across this diamond and it seemed to good to be true. I posted on here and decided to just go for it. I am so happy I did, I may have absolutely smashed through my original budget, but I feel like it was meant to be. Brilliant Earth was great to deal with, I recommend if: you are looking for a loose stone, you aren’t using layaway, you plan to pay with a credit card.

I am so excited!

 

[Batgirl76]

It’s gorgeous, SouthernElle!

 

[muesli]

It's stunning! What kind of setting do you plan to set the diamond in?

 

[SouthernElle]

It’s gorgeous, SouthernElle!

Thank you! I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon it!

Thank you! A really delicate halo with “compass” points of either pears or slightly larger round brilliants with the prongs giving them a point and a pave band. Probably smaller halo than these, I’m not super picky so I’m excited to see what DK comes up with based on my pics.

 

[muesli]

Woooow it's going to be such a gorgeous ring!!! Can't wait to see it!

You know I LOVE your story and am excited to follow along! What is the HCA on this out of curiosity, and the mm? Just trying to compare it to an I I’m considering!

1.7 HCA, fell into Ideal for AGS and Excellent for GIA standards. 9.36x9.41x5.81

Your stone is absolutely GORGEOUS! I'm seriously considering getting an AVR or other OEC MMD... I've always wanted an OEC the same size as mine (9.8 mm), so I feel like I could really do it with a MMD. I'm staying tuned!

Hi Everyone,
I am so glad I found this separate forum within pricescope, would love all of your opinions and guidance, I was hoping to go direct to a wholesaler or lab or a really good broker (suggestions welcome) for the following:

1. Round
2. Cut: Ideal
3. Color: H +
4. Carat: 4-4.5
5: Clarity: VS2

I dont see this as an investment, as I do not plan on 'selling it' just 'wearing it' and lab grown to me, now that GIA provides certification is a great option, questions:

1. Recommendations for place to purchase
2. what should my price range be? I have found larger stones less in inventory!!

Thank you PS Family!

 

[Gemma10]

Already posted but thought I'd share again! Great idea OS!

2.63 carat, F, VS2

This is so beautiful, was it hard to find a larger stone and do you have your jewelers contact info??

Hi Gemma,

Welcome to the forum

If you start a new thread in this Lab Grown section of the forum, more people will see it

@Gemma10 this is thw wrong thread for your question. A wholesaler doesn't work with retail customers. If you have a jewelery business and a tax number you can try and get access. I would call Martin Sheffield from USA certed diamonds and ask him what he can offer. He usually only works with mined diamonds, but told me he will also search for a lab diamond (he only slaps a very low margin on the wholesale price).

Open your own thread for your diamond search!

Ooh, that is excellent news. We will have to add him to the recommended MMD vendors thread!

My latest acquisition, a 0.5ct bezel slider pendant from TriJewels. I have it on a two tone rose gold chain from my aunt.
