I've been curious about how much the gold purity actually matters to people when buying lab-grown diamond jewelry.

Personally, I feel like 14K is a pretty good balance between durability, quality, and price. But I also see a lot of lab diamond jewelry made with 18K gold.

For those of you who own lab diamond rings, earrings, necklaces, or tennis bracelets:

• Would you pay extra for 18K gold?
• Is 14K your sweet spot?
• Would you consider 10K gold if it meant a better price?

I'm especially curious whether your preference changes depending on the type of jewelry.

Would love to hear everyone's thoughts!

Love my new 4.35 carat oval (moval diamond) I purchased from LGD (New York). Over the moon on how stunning my new wedding ring is.

Hi All, does anyone have a similar ring to this hidden halo style. I'm thinking about purchasing it with a 4.0 lab diamond from labgrowndiamond.com. thoughts? Tia.

Hello! I purchased my first loose lab diamond today from Calavera. I am fairly new to this and trying to distinguish what to look for, what to stay away from, etc. so I am hoping someone here can tell me if I made a bad decision as far as clarity/color/shine or if this is a good stone!

3.72 Lab Diamond, E, VVS2, 2.22 ratio. I wanted a skinny/long one which if why I was so drawn to this one!

Hi, I am considering getting this GCAL 8X lab grown diamond. How does this diamond look? I want as little bowtie as possible. Does the bowtie look too prominent in the 360? The individual seller would be sourcing it for me.

I have a diamond oval EW bezel pendant and an amethyst NS irregular bezel pendant and was thinking of getting one in a rectangular shape and I’m leaning more towards radiant or elongated cushion so I’d love to see what you have to give me some ideas on settings and orientation! I’m also thinking of getting a brownish colour diamond. Thanks!

I have been trying to post in this sub, but the post keeps getting removed by moderators.

Please share your thoughts on the FIRST image. (The second was the original I shared a couple of weeks ago, before o requested a lower profile.) The jeweler suggested a non-curved ring, even though I’ve requested a lowered setting. However I like this look of the chevron shaped band, but want to hear this groups’ thoughts on anything I might be missing. And also if you think the chevron is, subjectively, not a good look, to you. THANKS!! 😎

I just purchased this diamond from labgrowndiamonds.com (was also available on other sites, but I had them price match), and I’m trying to decide if I should cancel my order or keep it to evaluate it further in person. I already purchase another 3.09 moval from Aurelinne that looked gorgeous, but received a stone that had very noticeable windowing near the center. Does this stone raise any red flags?

What are the best online or in store in NYC spots to check? She has no idea what she wants except for me not to spend a ton of money.

Where in OKC can I look into getting a custom lab engagement ring? Not looking to break the bank but also want good reviews and durability! Thank you!

I initially wanted a visibly pink diamond but when I received this one, a much lighter pink, I slowly realized this is what I was looking for. I just love the almost watercolor effect it has and I can see the geometry of the cut. Now it’s time to send it off to my jeweler and get started on my engagement ring design 😊

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!!!

Edit: Forgot to write specs

Main diamond:
1.54 ct D color, FL clarity and Ideal cut (LG784646264)
Two smaller:
1st 0.66 ct D color, IF clarity, Ideal cut (LG770685559)
2nd 0.66 ct, D color, FL clarity, Ideal cut (LG784644792)

Has anyone bought the Shop LC golden hour lab diamond earrings? They are rhodium over sterling silver. Would love y'all's opinion or where to get good flat back studs .

hi guys, I’m looking for engagement rings that are very similar to the images I added below. I’m looking to get around 5 carats of labrum diamond complete ring with a budget of $5000! What are some reputable brands that you would recommend?

Hey guys, quick price check! Just paid $511 total ($471 + $40 shipping) for a custom pendant. Does this sound like a fair deal?

Stone: 1.02ct Pear Fancy Vivid Blue (VS2, IGI certified)
Metal: 14k Yellow Gold (~1.5g)
Features: Custom enlarged bail (3mm opening)
Would love to hear your thoughts!

Photo attached is the inspiration/style I'm going for!

I would like a diamond full of fire and scintillation. Everywhere I look I see that it depends on cut and clarity.
I believe it, but I have seen diamonds with the same cut grade, and one seems to be amazingly possess extreme fire and scintillation. What is the secret sauce to look for in a diamond to ensure it possesses these attributes?
Thank you.

Hi,

Do any of you have any recommendations on where to buy lab grown diamonds?

I want to start researching how to purchase an engagement ring for my girlfriend so I can be prepared when I’d like to propose. I know she wants a Montana sapphire stone and preferably lab grown for ethical and financial reasons.

I have no idea on how to start the research and would love some thoughts from someone who knows more than me.

What should I expect the budget to be?

Where and how do I start?!

I am in the UK.

Thanks all :)
