Not-of-this-Earth specialty-cut grudge match! (I.e. show me your LGD specialty cuts.)

@BlingDreams this is an outstanding stone! Absoluely beautiful. Looking for the pictures soon!

I forgot to update this post with the macro shots of my diamond - sorry! David said it's actually 1.1cts and E/VS1 quality. Here are a few photos and you can see a fireball-of-a-show video here.







I'm in the queue with DK now and, to pass the time of anxious waiting , had AI generate what I hope the final result will look like (approximately, as the rose gold will be brushed finish and the diamonds will have milgrain around them). I'm still not set though on what engraving I want on the shank; any suggestions? I thought I wanted antiqued/blackened scrollwork but now I'm second-guessing. Something more geometric, like herringbone? Leave it up to their engraver? Or just leave it plain? For reference, it is a 2.2mm band which then tapers up to where it meets the head.

With the French cuts, I would prefer something geometric.

Thank you! I feel like I truly lucked out given the amount I paid.

That's what I'm now feeling too, but I don't know what to ask for. Any suggestions?

How about this vintage style asscher? 3+ carats with a 49% table



Despite having sworn off asschers, I accidently slipped up and ordered it......

Sorry it didn't work out for you, the photo is dreamy.

After revisiting this for a week, I decided last night to order it. I'm so curious how it will look in person!
It hasn't shipped yet, so I can cancel it if it looks like it will be a bad performer. What do y'all think? I don't like the crushed ice look and don't want a mushy stone, but this didn't fall into either category from my eyes.

I bet it is lovely!

How do you find unusual cut stones in ritani?
How do you filter for rose cut diamonds in ritani?

Depth under 30: nothing in earth grown, but labs yield odd cuts

Ugh, that should read under 49%

Beautiful diamond! I would just say “geometric.” Given the taper, simple is better.

Also can search by “good” cut (as opposed to excellent or very good).

I may end up needing to do that. I sent DK an email this afternoon asking to do leaves instead (my mock-up is below); to my surprise he answered right away (it's a Sunday!!) and apparently leaves would need to be cast and not engraved. So, if my ring has already gone to casting then I'll just do as you said
