We got a commission for this old mine cut cushion diamond ring! This is a 4.34ct diamond on yellow gold band. Interestingly, the customer wanted the band to be 3mm thick. What do you think? Does the thick band work?
I posted the ring he got me a couple weeks ago, and many of you wanted to see his when it came in. In a nutshell, the story is that we didn't have rings for the past few years, so for our 30th anniversary we decided to get ourselves new wedding rings.
They were chosen/designed around his and my birthstones, and the number 30. My birthstone - sapphires, and his - diamonds.
So my ring features his birthstone with a 3 carat lab diamond and 30 small diamonds, along with some of my sapphires.
His ring features my birthstone by having 10 sapphires being the center and largest stones, bordered on both sides by 10 diamonds, making the total number of stones 30.
Because we are so happy with the experience of purchasing these rings long distance, not knowing our maker whatsoever, we'd like to give them a reference. They also have excellent reviews (4.9/5 on Google) online.
Our rings were made by Moishy, at MDC Diamonds (www.mdcdiamonds.com) in New York City. My center stone is 3.05 carats, E, VVS2, with IGI certificate, in 14k yellow gold. Channel set blue sapphires, surrounded by 30 lab grown diamonds of E, VS1+ quality. Price: $3500 insured, overnight, signature required delivery by FedEx.
His is 1/2" wide 14k yellow gold, 20 total round diamonds, EF VS1+ plus 10 blue sapphire baguettes, all lab grown. More gold weight in his, price: $4250 delivered by the same method. We were invoiced for both through PayPal; other options may be available. We communicated via WhatsApp.
I wouldn't hesitate to have him/them make any more jewelry we want.
I purchased both my engagement ring and wedding band from this company, and unfortunately my overall experience has been extremely disappointing.
One of the main reasons for my frustration is that the complimentary 2 ct earrings included with my $4,430.27 purchase—earrings the company valued at $595—broke in less than a year. When I contacted customer service regarding the warranty, I was told the warranty would not be honored because the earrings were considered a “gift.” Regardless of how the item was categorized, it was included as part of a significant purchase, and I expected the company to stand behind the quality of the products they provide.
I should have taken this as a warning sign, but I decided to give the company another opportunity when purchasing my wedding band. Unfortunately, that experience was equally frustrating.
After selecting a ring listed at $1,995 and placing it in my cart, the price unexpectedly increased to $2,295 during checkout. I contacted customer support through the chat feature, and the representative initially confirmed the lower advertised price. However, when he added the ring to his own cart, he experienced the same issue. He offered to call me back to resolve the matter, but I never received a call.
I then had to contact customer service by phone and explain the situation again. The representative I spoke with stated she did not have the authority to honor the original listed price and said she would speak with her manager and call me back the same day. That call never came either.
The following day, I called again and requested to speak directly with a manager. I was told the manager was unavailable and would return my call later. When I finally did receive a callback, I once again had to explain the entire situation from the beginning. I was informed there had been a “system glitch,” but again was told they did not have the authority to correct the issue immediately. Eventually, after several conversations and repeated follow-ups on my end, the company agreed to honor the original advertised price, while also emphasizing that they reserve the right to change prices at any time.
Throughout the entire process, there was very little accountability, communication, or ownership of the issue. I consistently felt like I was being passed from one person to another without any real effort to resolve the situation efficiently or professionally.
Based on my experience, I do not feel this company stands behind its products or prioritizes customer service after the sale is completed. I will not be purchasing from them again, and I would not recommend them to friends or family looking for engagement rings or wedding jewelry.
A pale yellow elongated old mine cut with pinhole cutlet? Wanting about 1.5ct. Fiorese have said they cannot do this so looking for another vendor
As the title says, I am so new to all of this lol. My lovely lady told me everything she wants and I just got my CAD back from LGG. Anything seem off here or can I green light it?
Thank you!
I’m looking for a tennis necklace similar to this one in the picture. I am open to any carat/karat but definitely want yellow gold. Anyone selling one like this?
I found this highly rated local jeweler that specializes in lab diamonds for an engagement ring upgrade. After going in for two consultations, we excitedly put down a $1,200 deposit for this 3.1 elongated cushion diamond pictured in the first photo. They told me they could put it on my current engagement ring band (pictured in the last 2 photos) and add a hidden halo. The estimate they gave us all-in was $5,700 before tax.
But another jeweler from the store just called me and said the 2 sales associates I saw last week gave me bad information and that she cannot in fact put that stone on my engagement ring . Her exact words were, “can I do it? Yes, will you like it? No.”
Instead, she said she wants to use my current small stones from the engagement ring and put the metal towards the price of a totally new ring so that she can start from scratch and build on that because it will be more sturdy for the stone and more aesthetically pleasing.
She was talking a lot about why it wouldn’t work and that I should love it because it’s my upgrade, it’s a beautiful stone, etc. but she was dancing around the new price so finally I asked how much more it would cost than the estimate they gave us. She said $8,700 pre tax. So that’s a 50% increase—plus I wouldn’t be able to visually see the ring that she is going to create for me, whereas in the store I was able to hold the stone up to my engagement band and I liked the look of it.
What do you think? Does this stink? Is she just trying to upsell me? Should I find a different jewelry store and see if they’re willing to put a similar stone on my engagement ring or should I believe her that I need a totally new ring?
We are likely going to ask for our deposit back. I am totally bummed. This was supposed to be my 10-year anniversary upgrade 😩
UPDATE! They just emailed the itemized new estimate and it’s now $10,700 just 2 hours later!!! I am shook.
Only just started looking - I really want an emerald cut but in these sizes all they had at a store near me was radiant. Still, trying to get an idea of scale and whether a 3ct or a 2.5 works better on my hand. Also including a pic of the setting I really like.
Hi all, I know the band and design I just don’t know what diamond to pick.
I am stuck between 2 diamonds, they’re both certified by IGI. They both seem to have low bow ties.
(I can’t view in person)
Both Colour D, VVS2 ( budget doesn’t matter )
I’m not sure how to link the here so you can view the 360 videos?
Codes:
LG724588680 3.22 ct
LG772682398 3.02 ct (£400 cheaper)
Any help appreciated! Thank you
Hello! I am looking for an oval diamond. I just received videos of 2 stones from loosegrowndiamond. I am looking for an oval with minimal bowtie, good sparkle and fire. Which stone do you think is better or if I should keep looking? I combined both videos into one to be able to post on Reddit.
Stone 1 is D VVS1 2.07
Stone 2 is D VVS1 2.09 (GIA)
Thank you
Currently have 3 things in production with one vendor. The communication was fast and great for the quotes then has slacked off a lot. Took forever to get the cads right for one semi mounts, even though none of the issues were because of changes or anything, just literally the rep not looking at what I said I wanted. Finally approve the cad and the rep tells me that particular semi mount is over budget. I wait a day and nothing, so I ask what that means. They comeback and say they sent it to production and they may be fined for the quote being too low……I have no idea what to do about that?? Has this happened to anyone?
Can you take a look at this video? Let me know your thoughts! I ordered lab diamonds .75ct each as hoop charms set in 10 karat gold. And I asked for the hole for the hoop to be a little bit larger than what they offered in the group buy to fit my own hoops.
I just received my Crisscut anniversary ring back from the jeweller, and I couldn’t be happier! I took my sweet time finding this stone.
3.58 ct set in 14k
I was deciding between 2 diamonds, one my husband bought and one I ordered from loose grown diamond. I took both to a jeweler and compared them but the loose grown diamond took the cake! This was my first time ordering a law grown and I was a little nervous to order online but my experience was seamless. Ordered my diamond received a follow up email right after updating me on the progress of my order. Once it arrive I took it out of the package and it was so pretty and sparkly! I took it to a jeweler and they steamed it for me and wow! It looks amazing. I received follow up emails and calls about my experience just making sure I was happy with the diamond I received which was really reassuring because I didn’t want to feel ghosted after such a big purchase!
