r/Diamonds

Please help! Text convo with my jeweler, I bought the natural VS2 engagement ring from him and now want an band for the wedding to stack, i feel like he is trying to upsell “Russian” machine made one so I want help here!

He’s a reputable jeweler and has great reviews in the middle of downtown with many other jewelers too and my fiancée gets complimented on her ring all the time

He says if I get any other one but Russian machine made lab one it will become blue next month and need deep cleaning next to the engagement ring!

Is there truth to what he’s saying?

As the title says i need your help please help me rate this Diamond! Is it beautiful? does it have any flaws ? Is this considered an excellent cut ? Is it worth paying for it 5000$ what do you think of it in general

Below are the specs:

1.21 ct • F • VS2 • Oval • 59% table • 62.8% depth • 8.42 × 5.95 × 3.73 mm • ~1.41 ratio • Excellent polish • Excellent symmetry • No fluorescence
Luster Excellent

I’m in love with my new ring! Perfect for every day. I normally wear everything in yellow gold, but I wanted to have this classic piece in platinum 😍

695 from a local shop and shaneco wanted 2k.

Just sharing my ring that I wear all of the time, repping the smaller contingent of diamond rings. I can’t describe it too well but something about this stone *feels* good. When I first saw it I knew it was for me.

Bought from a local independent jeweller in Ireland. About as simple as it gets platinum cathedral setting on an 18kt gold band.

Stone stats.
Natural diamond, Gia. 0.33ct on a size 3.5 hand.
Emerald Cut. Colour E, VS2.
Emerald ratio- 1.54
Table- 68%

Edit- Thank you all so much for the very kind comments, I’m glad I posted it now!

Thoughts on these OMC diamonds? Last 3 pictures are all the same stone in different lightning.

NYC. Will eventually sell. Engagement ring with natural diamond oval 1.80 E SI2, GIA certified

- Will I get a better price if I pop the diamond out and sell setting separately?

- Should I go to 4-5 stores in diamond district and compare pricing?

Any tips on how to maximize price are greatly appreciate!

Details: Natural 1.24 carats, Emerald cut, VS1 clarity, E colour, very good cutting grade, 14k gold band, size 6.5.

I’m a few months into my engagement and excited to share my ring! I’ve loved it from the get go, but for a while I felt a little self conscious about the size in a world full of 2+ carats. The longer I’ve had it, the happier I’ve become with it and I’ve realized that is really all that matters. My fiancé is a professional geologist and he worked with a jeweller to custom make for me - he’s incredibly proud of his choice and that makes it more special for me.

She’s basic but she’s cute. Maybe this will be inspiration for someone else! 💍

Hello! I'm looking at a pair of 1.8ct diamond earrings with the GIA reports attached. I've been doing a lot of reading and it sounds like the cut is only very good but the other parameters seem good. Does anyone with more experience have any thoughts on these diamonds? I have also included the photo of the earrings - they look quite nice to my eye! Appreciate any help!

Estimated price $9000-1000AUD

Hi there,

It is my first time buying a diamond ever, and it's from an overseas vendor. So I am asking for advice on my favourite subreddit!

I have the choice between those two, do you have a favourite one? I can also ask to see a third one if you don't think they are that good.

Both are E, VVS2, Polish Excellent, Symmetry Excellent

First one (first shot, pointing up): 1.02 carats, 9.11 X 5.69 X 3.42 MM

Second one (second shot, pointing down + third shot are the same diamond ): 1.09 carats, 9.26 X 5.75 X 3.57 MM

If some experts among you have an opinion let me know, especially about the bowtie and the brilliance.

Thank you very much!

Going to propose tonight💍💍❤️ hope she likes it

What color looks better yellow gold or white gold?

Want to get another yellow gold ring for my 15 year anniversary

I recently put down a deposit on a SI 2, F 1.4ct diamond. I know that clarity scale is technically low, but to the naked eye I found it truly tough to see any noticeable imperfections when on her finger. It’s about the max we can do for natural in our budget. I’m new to all of this, so would love to hear other’s thoughts on this diamond & its clarity!

Torn between these two shapes! Appreciate any thoughts! Oval is 2.5 and the cushion is 3

Last pic is a radiant that's cut as a hybrid between radiant and cushion

I am buying a lab grown diamond overseas and was hoping for some insight! It is a 2.52 carat marquise with a 2.08 ratio. Any concerns? Bowtie or windowing? I attached a video from the jeweler and the IGI certificate below:
