r/labcreateddiamonds

So new to this, almost done designing her band. I know IF is overkill but I’m happy with the price on this & the dimensions are almost perfect for the existing CAD

Anything stand out negatively? Is this considered a pretty intense bow tie?

Please don’t look at my nails, been doing yard work. Anyway, looking for options on the new pendant the hubs just gave me. I personally love it but don’t know much about lab created diamonds. Stats from
the report below.
4.00 ct round brilliant
E color
VVS2 clarity
Ideal cut
Excellent polish/symmetry
No fluorescence
IGI certified
CVD Type IIa

My dog passed away this week and I came across a company that turns pet ashes to a diamond. Has anyone else done this and who did you go through and how much?

Thank you 🙏

Hi everyone I’m new to this. Any comments would be appreciated

Hi everyone, could you please provide your opinion on the following Marquise diamond.

It's not taken in the best lighting, but I'm unsure if this is a good diamond in terms of bowtie, cut, etc. I've also attached the IGI report for reference. Overall, is this a good diamond?

Thank you!

I am working on my girlfriends engagement ring and the jeweler just sent me this video of the diamond. I feel like I don’t know what I’m looking for so I would like some input. Does this diamond look okay?

Hi everyone! I bought my 4.93ct, F color, VSI, IGI certified Cut Cornered Rectangular Modified Brilliant Lab diamond as well as my custom Euro Shank Setting from Luvansh. It just arrived.

The only thing is I asked for is Claw Prongs and I don’t think these are claw prongs because all my rings I’ve had made have claw prongs. Do you think I should send it back? Is it really worth my time and effort?

I love the lab diamond I received from them. I paid $687.20 with tax for the lab diamond which to me was a steal. The setting on the other hand they quoted me $799 and I paid $851.93 total for the setting. I’m a size 7 ring finger by the way.

What do we think of this? Will link a couple of others vids in the comments.

It's currently uncertified, estimated to be a 1.3ct, G/H, VS1, 6.7x4.2

Hello,

Please let me know if my CAD is ok? Anything that I need to be concerned about? Thanks in advance.

Hi peeps, I hope this post is ok - I won all three (top row) of these diamonds from a wholesaler last night… they are all GIA or IGI certified, but I don’t have them or that paperwork just yet… can anyone tell me what to expect (good and bad) if I try to sell them, and where I should try to sell them for the best price?

Turning 40 this year and decided that instead of buying one giant “serious” diamond, I’m designing three completely different lab-grown rings that feel more like wearable art projects.

The dropping price of lab diamonds is honestly part of what made this fun. Fancy colored natural diamonds in these sizes would have been absurdly expensive, but now I get to experiment with color, shape, and settings just because I love them.

So far:
- a dusty brown-pink cushion with step-cut trapezoids
- a green pear in a sculptural curved setting
- a moody vivid blue oval in a half bezel

I know lab prices are dropping fast, but I’m buying these because they make me happy, not because they’re investments. (Also yes, I am aware this is an aggressively millennial/elder-soft-summer trilogy.) :)

What stone or setting would complete this mildly unhinged midlife jewelry adventure?

I just purchased this 4 main pavilion oval. I really wanted a stone with minimal bow tie. I haven't seen alot of the 4 main pavilion stones so I jumped on it. Does this look like a great stone? Any issues that I should be aware of with the 4 main pavilion? I do have 25 days to return it.
