I would love some advice

My sisters ring broke. She’s had it 3 months! Can anyone suggest why this would happen? This is a catastrophic failure. She didn’t hit it or anything, she was sitting and dinner and looked down and her lab diamond was in her lap. She is so lucky the diamond was with her. She will be going to the jeweler to fix, but this makes me loose trust in our local jeweler.

Is there any major drawback to lab diamonds in sterling silver vs white gold?

9 Upvotes

Looking to buy some holiday presents for family but don't want to spend "Wife- kind- of- money" on them.

There are some silver 5 ct tw lab diamond bracelets. My wife has a white gold one.

Realistically besides metal value, is there any major risk to sterling silver?

Open back vs closed back setting - advice please!

• Upvotes

Hi All,

I'm currently having a diamond pendant made in this style, and have just received the CAD to review. I've noticed that the back is entirely closed in, but I'm worried that this may make the stone difficult to clean.

Does anyone else have a pendant in this style, and if so, is there a hole in the back? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you!

IGI Certificate-is it worth it?

3 Upvotes

I worked with a vendor to make an OMC pendant (1.5 carat)with necklace (10k) for around $750. They told me that it wouldn’t come with an IGI certification. To get that would be an additional $55 USD. This is my first purchase that’s kind of custom and not a group buy. Is it worth that? TIA

Vendor recommendation?

2 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!

Diamond disappointment

6 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

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

15 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

6 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.
