What do we think?

I mostly love her but I feel like there is some faint darkness in the center. Not sure what to think about it since it still seems pretty sparkly and it's a 1.5 l/w ratio so there might be no way around that. Lighting is by a window on an overcast day.

Where to set a stone with a semi-mount from overseas?

Hello! I have this gorgeous stone (its a lot like an omc cushion with no cutlet) that I am thinking of ordering a semi-mount for overseas, I was wondering if any of you all knew of services in the US where you can mail the stone and the semi mount and have them set it for a small fee (under 200$)? I have a local jeweler but they take forever-and-a-day, and they don't tend to do semi-mount projects.

Stone check (update)

So they fixed a couple of things from the original post https://www.reddit.com/r/labdiamond/comments/1v87g04/stone\_check/. They made the cutlet a little shorter like I initially wanted, and they made the corners more rounded with the overall stone looking less slender. I like it a lot more than before I requested the changes, but it still looks off to me. I feel like one side has more rounded corners than the other and it seems like its bottom heavy. The cutlet seems uncentered but I think that's because the left side is a bit chunkier. What are your thoughts?

I am so in love with this pendant!! I worked with Kevin and the process could not have gone any smoother. He was super professional, and friendly. He showed me the available stock that matched my description, and worked with the designers to draft up a CAD within 2 days. The pendant was finished in around 2.5 weeks and shipping only took 4 days. The craftmanship is superb and their stone selection cannot be beat. Oh and the packaging was really nice too. :)

I don't often give reviews but it took ages for me to find a stone like this and I am so excited to have a pendant that finally goes with my ring. Its hard to capture just how perfectly pink and sparkly this stone is.

I have a ring on the way, and another project in the works. I will definitely be ordering more in the future!

What do you all think of this custom cut? Its a 6 ct 1.75 ratio omc. I think its definitely very sparkly but idk something feels off about it and i'm not sure if I am just being picky, but it could just be the nerves. Its non certified and its also my first time getting a custom cut stone so just wanted solicit your opinion.

Purchasing directly from kuololit.net? Are the prices accurate/updated?

I was just wondering if anybody purchased from the official website. I know a lot of vendors don't update their pricing so you still need to communicate via whatsapp or purchase through alibaba/aliexpress.

Alternatives to dawn?

Just as the title says. I keep hearing how superior dawn is to cleaning pretty much anything (specifically blue dawn for some reason), but the smell gives me a headache like no other. Has anyone found an alternative? Does the unscented dawn do a decent enough job? How does it compare to unscented palmolive? Thanks for reading

Does anybody do custom cuts for fancy colors?

Hey all, just wondering if anybody had experience with overseas vendors that did custom antique cuts for fancy colors.

Hunting for my dream stone right now which is a fancy pink pillowy omc or oec thats 3.5+cts, but honestly its hard to find and it seems nobody i've spoken to does custom cuts for fancy colors. Any recommendations?

Resolved! Thanks friends

Sister rings

I made a post a while ago about my favorite ring, but this is her sister ring that I wear on the opposite hand sometimes. :) Same setting for a different stone. Some may think that's boring, but I like how it makes things cohesive. Both done with LGG.

Also this is a repost because I am not very reddit smart today and I didn't add the image correctly to show up in the thumbnail. :')

Credit to u/waddlypenguinz for the design inspiration! My ring role model if you will.

An ungodly amount of water

Are any other breastfeeding moms just drinking an insane amount of water? I feel like if I drink any less than 150oz a day I get utis, constipation, and honestly my skin is just flaky and wrinkly looking. I used to drink water like a cat, and now it seems like I can't even function normally without a frankly disgusting amount of water. I probably had 180oz of water today and this seems to be the amount that makes my skin look good and for things in my digestive system to run optimally, but man it just seems like too much. I am ravenously thirsty so I am not forcing myself to drink water or anything, if I drink less on any given day its usually because I get busy or were on the road and can't drink as much because we can't just stop for me to pee all the time. Anybody else in the same boat or is something wrong with me?

Looking for inspo

I have this gorgeous blue diamond and I've just been sitting on it for months with no clue what to do. I think it would look good in a ring or a pendant but I just have no direction for it. Looking for bezel or faux bezel setting ideas ❤️🥺
