So I got a little excited and had 4ct studs made with the light box 2cts…… now I can’t decide if they’re too big or not for everyday! They definitely look really large sometimes but then other times they are just pretty awesome. Thoughts?

I think they look great on you!!

No matter how hard I try, I just can’t. Everyone that has seen it says it’s so white and sparkly. It’s definitely pretty enough to be in a ring where I can look at it all day. I only wish the prongs were more refined, but I’m nitpicking. 30D0A370-D7B4-4B6E-8567-EAF677B205F9.jpeg

Nice! I should get another one too to have set in a ring like yours, I think it looks gorgeous!

Mine is set! David Klass made the setting and I think he did a great job! I thought it would take months but it was less than 2 weeks from the time he recieved the stone. Size 4.5, slightly loose on my left but slightly snug on my right. I don't think it works with my wedding rings though...ooof. Apologies for the super- sized pics, I can't adjust it for some reason.

Thank you everyone. Yes that's the 2 ct lighbox loose stone. Ugh, now that I've seen @Strauberrychick and @pinklemonadegurl gorgeous 4 ctw earrings, I'm thinking that's next year project? All of a sudden it doesn't look big AT ALL. :lol: Just perfect for everyday.
And I have to say that David Klass was a dream to work with. He was sick when I reached out to him and didn't respond for a week, but when he was back he replied promptly to all my emails. I was worried about mailing the stone but it was so easy. Now I think I will have him redo my engagement ring (my fingers were a 3.5 up until 2019, now it swells to 4.5 every so often, I'll wake up and it's 3.5 and an hour later it's 4 etc...).

Do you mean your original engagement ring? Would love to see a pic!

Yes my original engagement ring. It's a .7 ct hearts on fire. My husband bought it from a mall store, Christian Bernard, who went out of business shortly after he purchased it. It wasn't very well made. I believe I have some pics of it in this thread or the other mmd thread. In fact I found this forum looking for someone to redo the ring. But 4 sets of stud earrings, 1 huggies, 3 necklaces and 3 wedding bands later and it's still not reset... it's definitely a priority next year. Unless lighbox comes out with a large asscher or emerald or heart shape stone... ugh

Confession time: I sent my stone back after considering for a few weeks. Apologies as I did not offer to sell through Loupetroop, it made sense for me to do a direct return especially with the holidays coming up and some family expenses.

Since I have a MRB 2ct that I love and am not really in need of another ring, earrings or diamond pendant right now I am going to save up for a custom cut lab 3ct+ OEC from distinctive gem. I love their cutting and the facet pattern. I do have a pretty lab sapphire I need to make into a pendant and a lab ruby I still haven’t set so I should not take on another project for now esp if I am not passionate about the stone.

Looking forward to everyone’s projects!!!

Thanks for the update. Not sure if you remember my post from a few weeks back. You and a few others helped me realize that I was getting passionate about the LB pricing but not necessarily the stone (for myself personally). I’ve been stalking distinctive gems website as well and loving the chunky sparkles I see and have also been considering just saving a bit more for something I will love. Can’t wait to see how your future project turns out!!! It already sounds amazing!

I remember! Thanks for your reply to my post. I think I have finally learned that if I don’t really love something that it’s better to wait, save and plan. I get too wrapped up in “getting a deal” sometimes.

+1 The best deal/value is not buying something you don't want/need just because it's a good deal!

My thoughts? *chefs kiss* You will get used to the size so fast (they really do not look too big AT ALL), and they suit you so very well. Enjoy those amazing earrings, and I hope you get to randomly squee internally just a little about the fact that you get to go about your day wearing 4cts on your ears! <3

Oh gosh that's so me.... from skin care to clothes, shoes, and jewelries, I have this very bad habbit, I get obsessed with when there is a great deal. I know I don't need the fifth pair of black pants, that third pearl necklace or another loose stone that I don't know when i am going to set. I need to be like you, learn to stop and save $ for what I really want. I think the only way to do that is to get away from IG completely.

I actually don’t go on IG at all anymore! It helps.

Has anyone gotten a better reply from Lightbox regarding restock timing for the loose 2cts? I’m wondering roughly how long until they will be restocked?

Did you sign up for notifications? You have to do it after each of their restocks. They restocked a few days ago around 2am pacific standard time and I picked up two. Prior to that there was another restock maybe two weeks ago. The first two I bought didn’t match enough in size so I returned one. Got two more this time in hopes one will match. Will probably return the one that doesn’t.

Yes, I did sign up for notifications. So excited to know the restock usually happens quicker than I imagined. Thank you so much for your reply. I just want one.

I checked my emails. I bought on 11/17 and 12/3. Both times they notified around 2am PST and was sold out by 4-5am.
