I purchased my first LGD! How'd I do on this 2.02 carat pear?

I looked at the specs on other vendors' sites before purchasing it from Ritani. I just got the email that they secured it and it's on its way to them. Rare Carat price was about $3600, I paid $1200 and change from Ritani. I intend it to be a little teardrop pendant in rose gold so I probably should've gone for a lower color, but I was already worried the grader might've been generous with assigning color.

After fussing with the site and changing my mind a dozen times, I forgot to add in a pendant setting when I paid and wrote them to see if they could add it in after the fact. Not sure what I will do with a loose diamond otherwise, it's my understanding jewelers really don't like it when the client brings in their own diamond, especially a lab diamond!
 
It they can't do the setting, I recommend David Klass. His prices are great and he works with a lot of PSrs. He's in LA.
 
Also. I don't know anything about pear shaped diamonds, so I can't help you about the stone you bought. I'm sure someone will respond.

Oh nice! I am in the LA area too. Unless you mean Louisiana and not Los Angeles. :lol:
 
I'm not well-versed with pears, but it'll probably be cheapest to have Ritani set it for you in one of their settings. Can you cancel the order and re-order the diamond with a setting? David Klass Jewelry is in Los Angeles, if you choose to go that route.
 
Ritani should let you add a setting. I've changed settings in the middle of the process, and they accommodated me even though they had already made the first setting I chose.
 
Well, the diamond arrived and my husband kindly took a photo to show me. I’ll be home Saturday afternoon to see it in person, but at least it looks nice and white!

It looks beautiful!
 
Looks great. Please post some more photos and videos when you get home.
