I second that....the culet is pretty hard to see IRL. You don't want to end up with no light moving through the stone. Moissanites really require a little bit of light to get the sparkle or the stone can go sort of flat.
It is nice to finally see an Asscher from them. Looks very white. Would love to see a video when you have time. What other kind of other ring did you get?
The other is the one everyone’s seen before - Rachel w/ 8x7 ACC.
. For reference, my ring size is 8.
I paid a little less than that for a smaller stone/2mm side stones in platinum/moissanite so that sounds right for lab diamonds, bigger stone, but drop to 14k.
Ok ya’ll does this price sound about right?
$665 total
( 9.5 x 8.5 ) G/H color
Side stones: Lab diamonds size 2.3mm side stones
( 5 stones on each side)
Width of the shank to be 2.5mm
14 k white gold & size 4

This is beautiful. Apologies, I meant to ask you this earlier, but I got distracted. How are the steps in the Asscher? I saw a CZ Asscher from Swarovski and I liked it. I thought the steps looked pretty deep. I wasn’t sure if the moissanite version would perform similarly.
I might actually have a swarovski asscher around...I would say they're similar, the steps on the moissanite might be slightly smaller but more of them. It's quite sparkly. I run hot and cold on step cuts, and I like this one. If I had any complaints it's that it does have obstruction that only seems to happen when you're trying to take a photo/video likely due to the size of the phone. It doesn't show when the phone isn't in the way.This is beautiful. Apologies, I meant to ask you this earlier, but I got distracted. How are the steps in the Asscher?

Thanks! I have heard mixed things about emerald cut moissanite in general (not specific to Starsgem), but when I saw the CZ Asscher IRL, I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I’m glad to hear Starsgem’s asscher is nice
I think step cuts are hard in general because they're so personal - one person likes a lot of windmill, another likes the glassy effect, another wants the facets very even, etc. I think it's a nice stone but I'd want to see an emerald cut in a pretty detailed video because I am betting it could go dead in the middle if not proportioned correctly. Same is true of diamond, though, it's hard to find a good one.Thanks!

I'm looking to buy an oval moissanite 8x6mm ie 1.5ct dew. I'm considering C&C F1 or August Vintage. Which would you go with?
Wow, this is stunning!
They did a really good job with this!
Beautiful!! Now i want an Asscher too lol
Wow, this is stunning!
Honestly, I've been extremely impressed with Starsgem. I like their antique cushions more than Tianyu's and their H&As have been improving, too. I think going forward I'll just be buying from Starsgem from now on.
I’ve actually never requested a custom cut from Starsgem, but from others’ experiences with custom ACC/OMC cuts, I think they do a good job. I haven’t read any complaints on here so far.
I got a 9X10 GH color acc like the 2nd photo. The ring is in platinum. Jocie at starsgem was very responsive and the whole process was cery quick. It only took a week to make the setting. Please excuse my dry hairy hand.
Oooh, yay!!! I'm excited to see both!
They said in chat that if I am unhappy with the antique moval cut they will redo it. So at least I feel less nervous about ordering something unusualOooh, yay!!! I'm excited to see both!
I'm really curious to see how it will look. I definitely would have more faith with Starsgem doing this over the other companies. Fingers crossed it looks nice.
Yup, that's why I went with them. Was about to order with Mona but the other threads made me nervous, especially since she couldn't send me a video of the yellow colorI'm really curious to see how it will look.

I have had ever single stone I have bought custom cut. I just want very specific sizes and sometimes they aren’t standard so they have all been cut as requested. Several of them have been set by jewelers in the US & Europe and they seem to match what I ordered. It usually take an extra 2 weeks for custom cuts. I have one coming today from Starsgem that is 8 mm square that I also had small H&A’s cut with it instead of what they usually do, which is round brilliant’s. I also have my new ACC coming on Thursday so I will update. It will be interesting to see if I get hit with any extra import duties. I am hoping SG does not have to increase their prices to compensate.
Two weeks would be 10 business days approximately. It depends on how backed up they are and sometimes it is sooner. I have been waiting for over a month because of their holiday so it can also be longer. The one I am getting tomorrow will be 9x8 and I have also had 9x8.5 and 11x10 and 11x9. And a square 8.5 and an 8 mm so far....that’s starting to sound like too many now!
