Photos of Lightbox Jewelry

@JrJ Thank you. I'm glad to hear that's another data point for a successful return but I'm apprehensive about a return without a signature since they state that they won't accept liability for any reason if it doesn't get back to them. I couldn't even re-route the original delivery to me to a FedEx Office location, and had to pick it up at the terminal.

I completely understand. I was nuts until I saw they received it. I don’t even know if I would do it again because is the anxiety it caused me.

I returned a lightbox necklace from Canada, using Canada post. It worked just fine.

I'm testing the waters. I just ordered the pink half carat solitaire pendant. I went to The Jewels of the Maharaja at the Palace of legion of Honor the other day, saw the Agra diamond, and decided to try a lab diamond in pink.

I purchased the 1 ct. white princess and had it reset in 14K simple gold. I'm very pleased for $1150 all in.

Great idea! Can we see?

this isn't a great photo.

But you can see the pink MMD next to my mined diamond rings. It's pastel but looks brighter in sunlight.

Here you go...Ive been a lurker here for 15 years, but never posted much. The stone is whiter than my GIA "G" radiant, and a VS1 (I found one slight inclusion under loupe)

Congrats on your engagement!

Looks really nice. I like the simple setting!

Went ahead and ordered another lightbox. After missing out on the two-stone with the 1 carat on the bottom, I decided to get the new 3/4 carat blue solitaire. I'm not as happy with it as I am the princess and the tags are still on while I decide. It took me a couple days for me and my princess to become inseparable and I'm hoping this grows on me as well.



I posted side by side with the princess for comparison. It might be the color tricking my eye, but it looks smaller than it should to me. I wish I had a way to measure it. The color is a lovely aqua color. In diffused light it looks darker and almost teal like above, but in most other conditions its lighter. It is however always noticeably blue, even at a distance. The pendant is very flippy when worn, which is a flaw in the setting design. Overall, though, I think owning a blue diamond is pretty darn cool.

I read an article that said lightbox is introducing stacking rings in the first quarter of 2019 and then bracelets later this year. I'm really looking forward to those because I don't think I'd need yet another necklace, especially if they are going to stick to just rounds and princesses.

I like them both . The princess of course, and the blue is very pretty!
Can't wait to see what the stacking rings look like.

They came out with white princess studs..but they’re sold out. I wanted bigger so it wouldn’t work for me anyway..

Are you going to get them? I see they have the princess studs now..but I ordered unmentionables now so won’t get them.

 

by kindred » Feb 1, 2019

No, @Mamabean. I am still holding out hope for a 1 ct. white solitaire.

 

by Mamabean » Feb 1, 2019

They have the princess cut 1 carat now but I moved on. I was getting crazy checking almost every day!
They do have a one carat but it has the little blue diamond with it...

 

by innerkitten » Feb 3, 2019

I just checked and the 1 carat princess was sold out again! It must be their best seller.

 

by Mamabean » Feb 3, 2019

Their website is the most frustrating place to look!

 

by pearaffair » Feb 3, 2019

You guys know you can get on the email notification list for things that are sold out?

 

by Mamabean » Feb 3, 2019

Yes but I haven’t received one email. I moved on so will probably wait for rings they say are in the works.

Hi,
want to say Hi to the ladies here as I have been obsessively reading in the back round. I also reset a light box diamond, the 1 ct. princess from the necklace.
But I'd like to introduce myself: I have been married for 20 years but we eloped. I was never really interested in an engagement ring, maybe because I am from Europe. But after living in the US for years my appetite grew. But we never not had the funds. I also had ethical concerns. About 10 years ago I read an article about a company called Apollo Diamonds in the Boston area. They produced small, white MMDs and I have been obsessed with them ever since. Their story was unbelievable. From a hidden manufacturing location to death treats to the CEO..But they only produced a few jewelry grade diamonds and I had been on their mailing list for years waiting for something 'bigger". They were bought out in the meantime. I was hooked to the idea of MMDs but willing to wait. Jump to spring 2018 and DeBeers Lightbox announcement. My time finally came. So in December I ordered my 1 ct. diamond and had it reset in a ring. My endevor took 4 weeks altogether and cost $1900 ($900 for lightbox and $1000 for the new setting). It is 18ct two tone. Just like @frogplus I am extremely happy and so glad I waited. I also have to thank her. @frogplus your story was inspiration to me and so similar. I even had the knot in my necklace when I first got it and almost flipped out trying to untie it. I had the empty silver setting of the necklace filled with CZ ($50) and gave it to my daughter for Christmas. Another idea I got from here. Here are my photos. Feel free to ask anything. You guys are great here. Very inspirational and positive!
Angela

PS: The jeweler that reset the ring said that it was a very nice MMD diamond but was not familiar with lightbox. The lady that cashed me out of course had to say something snarky like: well that is not real diamond. And while I am happy to educate anyone who is willing to listen I decided to take the high road.

The diamond looks so pretty in your setting!

 

by Marriedbuteloped » Feb 5, 2019

Your ring is very very pretty. Love the clean and sleek design. I just posted how I had read and enjoyed your story. I just posted some pictures from mine.
I am very happy that you are so happy. You deserve it! And the ring is just an accessory....
