Sorry for the cheesy title but I’m so excited as my Lightbox 3/4 ct Princess pendants are coming tomorrow!

I’ve been looking for a nice pair of studs for a long time and I thought I wanted round. But then I fell in love with Princess stud from Costco but 2k was too much.

I’m hoping these will sparkle beautifully since they advertise the cut will be very good. :bigsmile:

Yay, how exciting! I have a pair of princess studs from my pre PS days and I don't think they're cut very well so I'm curious to see how sparkly the LB set is!

They’re here!

Here they are next to my current princess stud 1ctw VS I color from Costco. I can tell the cut is a lot prettier since one of my Costco is a big mush. They are a lot whiter too.

I’ll post more detail photo when I have a chance later.

I wish they have the 1ct on sale. :razz:

Those are beautiful! I considered the 3 stone 0.75 tcw pendant. Still want it. Just trying to curb spending lol.

Will you help me pick a setting? I’m between these two v prong but leaning toward the simple one. However, I’m afraid the thick setting might obstruct the light. What do you think? 2E7CDB74-2F13-47F5-BFBA-C944126FF3F1.jpeg 2A013895-8834-40BC-83BA-E589FA46BB15.jpeg

I'm all for simplicity....but i think you're right it might block the light from the stone. Id go with the first one.

I’m thrilled for you with this project! Typically I love simplicity, but that second setting looks chunky to me. I love how delicate and feminine the first setting is; I’d choose that one.

I like simple clean lines the best..but the second one looks very thick and chunky. I would pick the first one because the prongs are thinner and lighter...Your princess diamonds are very pretty!

I like the first one too. Would you mind posting a video? I would love to see the sparkle. The video on lightbox made it look yellow and dull.

Yes. It was on sale at Bloomingdale's. Unfortunately I already bought the 1ct solitaire necklace, the 1 ct pierced earrings, the blue and pink studs and couldn't buy anything else. Maybe in a few months...

Omg I can’t wait to see! When you get them back could I trouble you to try and measure the size of the stone?

Here they are! I’m so in love. The setting is nice and substantial. The backing is a lot thicker than I expected which is great. They’re nice and balance. I think the local jeweler did a good job. They’re so sparkly, I have been wearing them nonstop.
@pearaffair They are 5x5mm consistently across.
Overall I’m very happy with this $700 for the stones and $400 for setting. I’m looking forward to future sale lol.
