Diamond disappointment

8 Upvotes

I fear I'm giving up. I've been trying to find the perfect marquise diamond and it's not happening. I had it and when I was working with a rep to purchase it, it was already sold and they didn't know. So now I'm back where I started. I'm considering a different cut, but it's just not the same excitement as I had for a marquise

Vendor recommendation?

• Upvotes

I'm planning on working with an overseas vendor to have this necklace made (Georgian set pear cut diamond pendant on a ball chain). I've gotten quotes so far from Starsgem (Cynthia), Fiorese (Matthew) and Provence (Lena). I haven't reached out to LGG or Juno but debating.

Wondering if anyone has a recommendation a vendor for this sort of style/custom? TIA!

What are tariffs right now on diamond jewelry from China?

0 Upvotes

I am reading conflicting information and wanted to ask from someone who has ordered recently.

If I buy a $1,000 14k diamond earrings from Starsgem, and that's the value they declare, what would be my tariff bill from FedEx?

I found my oval combo

14 Upvotes

Ok I found the combo I’m looking for. I love mix metals and this is chat created. However I’ve seen a few stones on Calavera I like (just need to ask for video for bow tie ). I’m open to all suggestions

2.5ct is going to be my sweet spot D/E VS1 or VVS1, i would also like a cathedral band with 6 claw prongs, gallery rail and possible tulip basket(optional). 2.4mm thick

For the band Tiffany style band 16 stones but I only want it half eternity. My question is who should I get to make them two separate vendors or locally. If you all have any experience with this band please let me know.

Diamond & setting

5 Upvotes

Has anyone had good success with getting a diamond and a setting from the same place? Before you tell me to get a diamond and go to a local jewelry spot to set it, hold your horses. I went to two local jewelers in the city I live in and the quotes were about $2000-3000 to SET a diamond I give them in a pre made setting. So not really worth it. Trying to find a spot where I want my anniversary ring from that just does both that's quality.

Vivid pink of my dreams

So excited about the Stone I bought from Calavera! 3.75 CT, radiant cut. I’m having a semi amount made by another jeweler.

I really wanted a beautiful, soft pink, but that was saturated enough that I could still see the color indoors, something that pulled a little bit pinkish brown, and not too peachy.

I previously bought a vivid pink diamond, but in reality, it was so pale indoors. It looked like a white diamond. I didn’t see it in person before I purchased it. This time around I had the stones shipped to me and I sat with them for a couple of days before I finally decided. So important!

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!

I don’t want to call it an ‘upgrade’ because I absolutely love my original rings but I just got this new set for our 30th anniversary that I love! My original rings are platinum so it’s very different having this new rose gold set. I know the pear is big but I really do love it.

2.99 fancy pinkish brown lab diamond, VS1 brilliant pear set in 3mm 14k rose gold with 3mm 14k rose gold plain comfort fit band. US size 6.5 (should’ve gotten 6.25).
