It’s here!! Sun is going down, but I still caught a few shots with those arrows popping. The band fits without a gap, and the lab diamonds are clean with lots of sparkle.
Once again, I’m impressed with the quality and price. Maybe someday they can work on their photos
I told them strong arrows- it wasn’t a custom cut, but it was my second order with Demi, and sent her several pictures of what I wanted in my stone.Wow I’m impressed. The h&a Cut looks amazing compared to my 3 stone ring I had done last month. Was yours a custom cut H&A? Could you pls share your CAD with me? I would love to see.
Sorry for my late reply! I haven't been active on PS as much due to dealing with life issues.
And thanks! I call it OMC (Old Mine Cut), but people mostly use ACC (Antique Cushion Cut)/OMC interchangeably. I just say OMC because when most people think ACC, they think of the elongated version, which is more popular among PSers.
A few more pics. You can take decent pics inside with a little effort.
And a video! Look at her in the sun!

Do you have an inspiration picture? I’m having trouble envisioning knife edge milgrain.
Thanks
it’s funny, I bought my first diamond over one carat this year, but I still really love my moissanite. It’s so nice to be able to try new cuts, pick up a few classic styles (I can’t tell you how long I wanted a trellis setting like this new set), and have fun (and frustration at times) being a part of the process. ).
This is very specific and that is definitely a hand etched border. It looks more like indents then raised miligrain. If I were you, I would buy the loose moissnaite and either the smaller melee in lab diamonds or moissanite and have it made more locally or with an online vendor. I am sure they will attempt this design for you but I think you would have a better result by having a US based vendor make it.Yes I do.
I feel like them calling the I-J light yellow means it isn’t exactly a GIA standard of I-J. I think it will be more obviously yellow than the hint of color you would expect in a diamond with the same grade.
Not exactly the same but there was a post by Tianyu on IG that was a similar conceptYes I do.

That being said, if they’re cheap enough, why not order one?
Don’t forget that have a coupon code for 3% off anything over $500 or 5% off anything over $1000. Not sure if they would match a price from another vendor but it doesn’t hurt to ask?
I would say they have a buttery tinge to them. Definitely in the L/M diamond equivalent range. I believe @lovedogs got her ‘moval’ and maybe a cushion from them in the I/J range. If you look back a few pages, it should be there or maybe she can post another pic if she see’s this. The photo’s they sent her were terrible but it looked much better once she received them.I have been feeling the same, that they are lower than a GIA I-J. Looking at the photos on Ebay, I'm thinking more like an L-M? While I agree some of them really are cheap, but even at the $38 the oval is, I'd rather not spend the $ if I know it is clearly a pale yellow. I tend to think it whats...what could I buy with that $38? 2.5 pizzas! Not that I don't like yellow (see my profile pic!) But if I get yellow, I want it to be YELLOW.
I bought an IJ marquise moissanite from starsgem. It is visibly yellowish beside an IN Emerald cut moissanite. Here’s a video:

Sorry, I meant beside an “IJ” emerald cut. Posted a photo as well, which clearly shows the yellow tinge
The sun was going down when mine arrived too so I didn’t have much time. I like this ACC so much better with diamond side stones. The double refraction was driving me crazy in my first version of this ring. This one sits lower and faces up smaller than the squarer version of the other ACC with the ruby collar. I thought it might end up being too high that I was considering replacing it with my Asscher aqua that is coming tomorrow. I think I like it as it is though after wearing it for a few hours now so I will keep it as is. I also got back the remade Tianyu solitaire knife edge. It is very pretty but I don’t think I like the modern rounds as much in moissanite so I think I will sell that one.
Couple pic’s. Not great lighting because the sun was going down but the video looks ok.

And...only because I have nowhere else to show this at the moment...this is the Aqua and I have to figure out what to do with it. Maybe another baguette simple 3 stone but with longer tapers?

Edited to add - I forgot to mention that this guy cuts moissanites as well. If you are interested in loose stones and want precision cuts, this is the way to buy it from a Midwest based person who does not charge by the carat. It is just the rough prices, shipping and a $75 cut fee. The aqua was under $300 for a 9x9 and I also got a 2 carat yellow tourmaline for less than $280. His moissanite prices have been even cheaper then this and you are not restricted to just the typical diamond shapes either. He is working with a group that decided to pool their skills to keep up with the demand on reddit and you can find out more on r/shinypreciousgems or just ask and I can get you the additional info.
It's alright. Most of the post seems to recommend Starsgem for OMC, so I'll try that.
GH is great for the OMC! I have an enlongated antique cushion in DEF set in rose gold. It is lovely, and truly colorless, but I hear the GH has a smidge more dept.
I have a GH OMC...it’s actually my avatar. It’s not yellow at all. It’s more “steely” and less icy than DEF, in my opinion.

pic for reference
The G/H color is still very white. I think the ACC is a little different because you get a mirrored effect which is kind of the steely grey color mentioned. In natural light though, they look very white to me and have that depth. If you love really white stones though, then go for the DEF.
Mine is DEF- if you want it truly white, then DEF is a good option. I just got a GH round from SG and I like the steely color it has.
