My loose diamond(s) journey

My loose diamond(s) journey

After having multiple posts about advices on buying the loose diamond, I’ve decided to write this one as well if anyone else is having the same doubts as me:)

It all started when my husband wanted to “surprise” me with a anniversary gift (jewlery) and in the end I’ve decided to go with a ring because I usually wear only my simple band and wanted to have something that sparkles on my finger, but not too large, and that’s why I picked a three stone diamond ring. But after receiving my diamonds, I fell in love with the main stone and decided to go with a ring that Dua Lupa has as her engagement ring and to use the other two for diamonds studs on a hoop, so that they’re kinda matchy! 

After checking multiple diamond vendors, that I also learned about here on Reddit, I went with Loose Grown Diamond because they were the most responsive with my questions (many of them xD) and they also price matched my stones so I definitely had the best of everything in one place! Also, I liked on their webiste that they have one of the most extensive filters, so I could basically filter everything from 4c's that was important to me, as I wanted as much as I can get from the diamonds

As I live in Europe, the estimated delivery (standard one) was about two weeks, but they have actually arrived two days earlier, and when I received my stones my jaw dropped! And as they were beyond my expectations and I fell in love with the center stone (just as the CS from LGD also stated), I’ve decided to create two pieces of jewelry insteas of one :D

Anyways, here are my diamonds (I have more videos, will post them in comments, for better visibility), once the diamonds are set, I will share it as well, can't wait!!!

Edit: Forgot to write specs

Main diamond:
1.54 ct D color, FL clarity and Ideal cut (LG784646264)
Two smaller:
1st 0.66 ct D color, IF clarity, Ideal cut (LG770685559)
2nd 0.66 ct, D color, FL clarity, Ideal cut (LG784644792)

How does it look? 1.54ct round diamond

Already bought it and then remembered that I should've checked here first... here's the loupe 360 video https://loupe360.com/diamond/LG784646264

I followed beyond4cs guide for choosing the diamond, but would like to hear another opinion, as I am completely new here :)

Thanks a lot!

Choosing diamonds online

Hello everyone! I'm writing because I have a dream ring that I want to help my husband with (surprise :D)

After comparing prices for lab grown diamond jewelry, I've come to the conclusion that the most affordable option is to buy the diamonds loose and then have them set by my local jeweler.

I want a three stone ring with round diamonds, where the center stone is the largest and there are two smaller side stones. When I browse sites such as Aurelinne / Calavera / Ruby Harper / Loose Grown Diamond, I set the specifications as color D, clarity IF, cut Ideal, etc. However, even after filtering by those criteria, I still end up with a huge number of diamonds that vary slightly in carat weight and price, and to my untrained eye they all seem equally beautiful.

What should I actually be paying attention to when selecting a diamond? Table and depth, measurments/proportions or something else additionally?

Thank you in advance!
