Beginning the process and really have no idea where to start. She's not picky at all and doesn't even really know what she wants - just for me not to spend a lot :) she also doesn't want a diamond and more of a gemstone. Any places in Brooklyn, Queens or even LI you'd suggest to get some ideas?
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!!!
