Show me your french cut moissanite

Thought I’d start a thread for easy searching down the line. I had to go page by page through all the tianyu and stargems threads to try to find pics of French cut moissys, not that it wasn’t a fun browse full of eye candy! I know a few people have ordered French cut moissanite and thought it...

So hard planning around med school...my son is in the same boat as his girlfriend waits to see where her residency will be

I much prefer the residency system as there is a specific Match day. Med school acceptance can be in the air until May depending on waitlists. Oy.

On the bright side, between my tax refunds, moonlighting out of anxiety, and recent raises, we are in good shape for tuition! So I don’t “need” to keep selling (in fact I have mad money again!”) but will keep these items listed for sale at 15% off just because it keeps me busy and I’ve sort of said goodbye to them in my head. :p

Removing my tsav and mint garnet from sale. I went to acstones.com and the website is closed due to family health conditions which makes me sad and sentimental since I’ve been buying from Barry for a decade now and he’s just the sweetest man! Oy.

I keep coming back to this thread because of this ring. It’s in my size! However I’m concerned about the OEC. Is this the one that was set in a bezel because it had obvious chips? If it is, does the bezel completely cover it? Do you think dirt gets stuck under the bezel because of any gaps between the bezel and the chips?

 

[MakingTheGrade]

If I remember correctly there was a small nick or flea bite on the girdle that is totally covered by the bezel. I don’t think dirt gets stuck anywhere.
The price listed is less than the price of just the setting so the 1ct oec is basically a temp diamond if you want to reset it with something else lol.
