Thank you! I will forward it to her..Look at my kindergarten scribble on the cad from my finger on the edit feature on my iPad. I look like I had a few glasses of wine. This picture will be very helpful..Thanks!
This is the claw prongs that I requested on my ring
I am trying to work with one of the lab diamond vendors to get a fixed price for a one carat. We are a little over $400 for ‘F’ excellent cut Si2 stones. These are uncertified and I think certified will be another $150. I need to get all the cut dimensions and also figure out the cheapest way to get it into the US since technically it is still considered synthetic until they change the way it is classified. From what I have read, this might happen in the future where it may be considered a diamond. I think the 1.5 carats are still over $2000 though so it is not going to get super cheap just yet. I have one bad picture with the 1.5 carat round in the center. I hope to have some updates soon....may still take a few weeks if I can work it out.A little off topic but I wonder when Tianyu will start offering .5-2 carat diamonds alongside their moissanites? It seems like it’s only a matter of time as the price of moissanite continues to drop and competitors start bettering their cuts. Personally I’d love to see if any of these alibaba vendors offer nice ones because I wouldn’t mind getting those.
Oh, this is exciting!!! Thanks so much for posting this! I can't wait to see your updates. Thank you so much for looking into it; I lost interest in Lightbox because they are lagging in production, so I was hoping there would be a Chinese vendor as a decent alternative. I've seen a couple on alibaba, but they are not well known and I don't want to buy something that isn't thoroughly vetted.I am trying to work with one of the lab diamond vendors to get a fixed price for a one carat.

There is no way to PM on pricescope so I am linking my video with a 10mm round H&A in G/H color. It was cut pretty well by Tianyu w/ nice strong arrows.. Looks very natural in daylight but there is some double refraction in dim light. If you want the best cut moissanite by a US brand, then August Vintage would be it and there is a thread dedicated to those projects on the main Fashion Jewelry page. They also cut some of the Amora’s so they are much the same. The only difference I have heard is when they are sitting next to each other that the Amora colorless is whiter.
There is no PM function on pricescope so the best thing to do is to send the video to Ella at [email protected]. She worked on this order for me. It is a 10mm solitaire knife edge in G/H color H&A. I had the setting made ‘squat’ so it didn’t sit as high as some of the typical solitaire settings. It has tab prongs instead of claw prongs. I think the total price in PT950 was something like $600 total with shipping. More than 1/2 the costs came just for the moissanite because of the size so it would be cheaper with a smaller stone or in white gold.
Are you on reddit or weddingbee?
That sounds about right for colorless as long as it includes shipping/fee’s. I would just get a good look at the radiant cut before shipping. Only 1 or 2 people have tried it with mixed feedback. I know it can definitely show more body color so probably best to go colorless. I think they offer it in brilliant cut or crushed ice. I would probably pick the brilliant one over the crushed ice but it is still going to have a very splintery look to it if you are ok with that.
If you can try to find a local retailer to see the F1 radiant cut in person, that is the best I can suggest. I would think all major retailers will carry them. It is really hard to trust video’s as they use fancy lighting and you don’t get what it looks like in everyday lighting situations. I would probably choose the F1 radiant over the one from Tianyu to be honest. The fancy cuts have not been as good as the round or antique’s except maybe in the oval & pear. I think your best bet would be a square brilliant cushion then if you want to save and go with Tianyu. Cushion’s face up smaller so you will have to go a little bigger in diamond equivalent weight to get the same look you are after.
Did you pay by PayPal? Ella always responded right away after payment..and a PayPal also emailed me with noticification that it was sent. I don’t mind paying the fee because I’m protected. I don’t think you have anything to worry about because it’s a reputable company. I would keep emailing her until she answers you.
I'm still in the process with Tianyu, but my payment through Ali Baba processed the same day. Ella told me that she would send the CAD 2-3 days after that. That was two days ago, so I expect I will get an email tonight (I was hoping it would be closer to the two days, because I'm excited, but alas).
That makes sense. Thank you for the explanation. I just ordered them and so excited.
