Hi!

I’m looking to buy this ring for my gf, what do you think? Is the CAD legit ?
It’s from Fiorese.

Main diamond is 1ct, I joined the IGI certificate of it. The other diamonds are VVS total 0.3ct.

I also put the model I sent to them (I know the main diamond is bigger, but it was more for the paved part).

I was just wondering if the spaces between the diamonds on the paved are normal ? Will it look like the pictures or should I ask for something specific to them ?

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I’m considering ordering a lab-grown diamond from Fiorese and having it shipped to France (EU). Overall, communication has been good so far, but they suggested lowering the declared value for customs to reduce import fees.

I’m not comfortable with that approach, mainly because if the package gets lost or stolen, I assume I’d only be compensated based on the declared value — which would mean a financial loss.

So I wanted to ask:

- Has anyone here ordered from Fiorese to Europe, especially France?
- How was your experience with shipping, customs, and delivery?
- Did you declare the full value, and did everything go smoothly?
- Any issues with insurance, delays, or unexpected fees?
- Is PayPal a safe way to pay them?

Also they are asking to pay 50% ahead before CAD and the rest once the ring is done, is it a common behavior ? It’s my first time ordering like this so I like to make sure things I’m not being scammed over or anything 😅
The video of the diamond, let me know what you think!

I’d really appreciate honest feedback before I move forward. Thanks!

Hello,

I've been looking for a couple weeks to buy an engagement ring for my gf (soon to be fiancée!).

But I've got some difficulties about finding a safe store that proposes decent prices. I've found a couple on US zone but I'm having a harder time in europe (deliver in France), the one I found either doesn't have really nice diamonds to offer, or they are way too expensive from what I've seen on US stores for example.

I'm also going to visit japan in 2months, so that could be an alternative if it's possible to have it deposited at my hotel while I'm staying or directly in store.

If you guys could give me some nice stores available that would be nice!

So far I found 'precious-lab' (not sure how safe it is but I really like their tool to create a ring but they seem a bit precy), provence-gems and the art of jewels.

Thank you for your help!

PS: I'm looking for a 0.7-1ct oval diamond either as solitaire or pavé

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking to buy a lab-grown diamond (oval shape, around 0.7–1ct), and I came across a website called precious-lab.com.

They seem to have a wide selection and competitive prices, but I couldn’t find many independent reviews outside of their own site, which makes me a bit unsure.

Has anyone here ever purchased from them or had any experience with this company?

I’d really appreciate any feedback — whether it’s about the quality of the diamonds, customer service, shipping, or anything else.

Thanks in advance!
