I wanted to share this here because I think everyone should see how beautiful the lab diamonds are from @Rhino. There really isn't a better cut than his Distinctive Gem AVR. I wish there was more traffic in this forum because these diamonds really deserve to be seen.

Everyone who has searched for a well cut OEC, or AVR, knows that these stats are hard to come by. Visually under a Loupe, and to the eye, these are perfection. I do not have any "mind clean" issues with lab versus mined. At the end of the day it's a diamond, regardless of its origin, and finding one like this would be extremely difficult. These lab diamonds are more pricey than some I have seen, but they are worth every bit of the asking price.....and then some! There is no question that they are superior in cut and clarity than any I have previously seen.


On to the stats!

Center:

2.25 ctw E VS1 AVR. IGL grading.

It is absolutely STUNNING. The cut is beyond spectacular. I will take more photos and show the beautiful puffy crown in more lighting conditions. On the run today so only got a few. It is the "lotus" AVR cut versus the more bubbly AVR.

Sides:

The side stones are also Avrs and are 5.5mm F/G VS.

I am very lucky in that I could compare a mined AVR with these lab AVRs. The mined is a "daisy" AVR and the lab are "lotus" AVRs.

*There are no growth lines. Not a single one. Nor is there any blue nuance. I know that this is something discussed often in regards to lab diamonds. *

These are set into a CvB Sierra in 18K Yellow Gold. The setting is really beautiful and these diamonds could not have a better home.

More pictures to come!

Please excuse the pollen on the last couple photos. The plants were determined to share=)2.

So pretty! So is this new? I thought you had a ring like those with emerald sides. All of your pieces are so exquisite.

This is the same setting with new AVRs. The Emeralds now live in earrings and the center from the original center has a new home =)2.

Wow! Stunning ring and I think you’ve given me that extra confidence to contact Distinctive Gem to enquire about a lab Stone. Looks beautiful!

The stones are absolutely perfect. I would not hesitate to recommend contacting them. You would not regret it.

Lovely! You must see rainbows all day long.

I agree that lab diamonds by DG are awesome. What do people think about starting a “show me your lab specialty cuts” thread?

As an aside, I have a 5.5 mm AVR and a 5.5 x 5.2 AVC as *center stones* in two different rings and they are super bright. So your ring with 5.5 *side stones* are probably visible a mile away!

They are very bright. I am going to go see if I can find a thread with yours. DG really makes them extra special. I think another thread would be great. I hope we get some traffic in this forum because I feel as there is a bad rap sometimes for lab diamonds because finding good ones can be tough and people may be missing out.

Those AVRs are stunning!!! I'm glad you posted this because I have wanted to read more customer feedback before taking the plunge. What do you mean by lotus or daisy AVR?

Did not make a thread for my earth AVR but obviously I am a fan.

Spectacular! I am in deep love with the elongated cushion but can’t justify the expense for what I want right now. Big anniversary coming up in the future though. Hearing about the wonderful experiences that people have had make it hard to resist! Enjoy!
