Help me choose - Gift for the wife!

Hi All,

We are considering purchasing one of these options and are confused between them.

There’s a considerable price difference between the two as well!

The first option is a 17 Solitaire Diamond Tennis Bracelet with 5.1 Carat Diamonds in 14k gold, priced at 3X.
The second option is a 1.52 Carat Diamond bracelet in 14K white gold, priced at X.
Both the bracelets have natural diamonds SI grade J colour.

I am uncertain whether paying three times the amount is justified for the solitaire bracelet. The shop also offers a 100% buyback policy that can be used within 14 days for in-store credit.

I’ve also posted close up pics of both the bracelets here for scrutiny.

Which would you pick?

We are in the process of choosing a round natural diamond for my engagement ring. Here are the two diamonds we narrowed it down to:

2.01ct F VS2, 2.30ct E VS2

Price difference between the two is 3k with the 2.3 ct costing more. For reference my finger size is 4.25. Please comment down below any suggestions, thanks!

How did I do?

So my dear husband wanted to upgrade my ering and I helped find my diamond to which I looked for months and months. Wondering if I made a good pick??? I know nothing about diamonds and we bought it online so sight unseen (besides the 30x zoom video). I love it. I’m just a tad curious if I’m seeing a window, a dead spot or if the middle is just not firing as much because of the facet pattern…. It is a 2 carat, 1.17 ratio cushion color d, vs1, medium fluorescence.

Taking votes on stone size

Not worried about cut, style or anything other than stone size. Which cushion looks best on my hand - 2ct, 2.5ct or 3ct?

Help a girl out! 😅

Mixed Feelings

Had a really good deal on this 4.03 carat and put it in a setting. Received it back today and I have very mixed feelings on the size. Opinions? It didn’t look this large to me prior to setting.

Need to sell old engagement ring

I have a solitaire engagement ring that I need to sell. I went to a couple of local places that buy jewelry and the offers were really low. What's the best way for me to sell it and get a little more? I know diamonds aren't selling well right now, and this one is under a carat, but I'm hoping for more than $650, which was the highest offer I got today.

Stats:

Natural stone

Round brilliant cut

.52ct

VS(2) clarity

Near colorless (G)

IGI certified

18k gold, set in platinum

Diamond stud to big?

I was gifted These diamonds studs for Christmas last year and I can’t tell if they look too large in the second whole with my hoops. I asked for a smaller set of studs for Christmas from my dad and he generously gifted me these . They’re about .55 each.

In LOVE, 2 ct radiant cut

Recently upgraded my ring! Ring is 2 ct radiant cut lab diamond with two kite cut side stones (.8ct total). I bought this ring on Etsy and it turned out great! My finger is size 4.75.

Diamond check?

What do we think about this emerald cut based on this video?

Also, any jewelers that can look it up on Loupe for me & confirm whether it’s decent or not? 🥲

Is my diamond set too high?

I brought a radiant 2 ct diamond that I sourced, as well as a ring that originally held a 1 ct round cut diamond in to have the diamond changed out. They told me due to the band, there was only two prong options that would work and that it would be set a little higher than the round cut was. I got it back and I feel like there is such a big gap in my diamond and the prongs? The jeweler said lower prongs would not fit the ring I have. And that the diamond is very secure in the prongs.. I don’t know I just am worried. If the jeweler has already told me there’s no lower option, what can I do?

Vintage M diamond vs light yellow fancy

I'm just wondering how the two designations are differentiated. My M diamond looks very similar to the light yellow fancy in pictures.

Input from a gemologist? Thanks!

Thoughts? Opinions?

Natural 1.20 ct round. Priced at $5000. Saw in person today and was eye clean (at least to our untrained eyes). Could detect a few crystals, or “bubbles”, under the jewelers loop. Didn’t ask to see the GIA while in store and after I got home I asked for it. Wanting to go back and view it in person now that I can see where the inclusions are.
Are these a lot of inclusions for an si1? Is an indented natural concerning?
