Show me the Bling - the Laboratory Grown version!

[Rafael Jackson]

So... We have the SMTB section for all things Mined Diamond and other stones, but we don't have anything collecting Man Made Diamond / Laboratory Grown Diamond items.

I think that's a shame, so I propose that we use this thread to collate pictures of Pricescope members' items, be it a half carat from Lightbox or a 3ct+ from AVInc. or LAD!

Sadly I can't start the thread off as I don't have anything bling myself yet lol, so please do post away if you have something!

I’ll put this here for posterity
1.05 F VS1 AVC from DG. Now saving for a setting..

I'm also new here (sort of...long time member, but never really posted). I'm a diamond lover, and I've come to appreciate lab grown stones - so much nicer for the budget! I have a small collection of pieces for your viewing pleasure...

This was my first piece - a fancy light blue grey lab grown diamond, 3/4 carat, sourced from Joseph Schubach (thanks again, Margie!) The setting was done by David Klass, in rose and white gold, with a treated pink diamond halo, and this is their photo.



I purchased this lab grown oval eternity ring on LT - I believe it's originally from Ouros Jewelers on Etsy, and it's around 3.4ctw. This one is fun, because some of the stones exhibit quite strong phosphorescence in shades of white and orange!



The ring here is another LT purchase. The center is a gorgeous lab grown radiant diamond, and the setting looks to be another Ouros setting, though I'm not 100% sure. The studs are lab grown, from Ritani, and they are L color, sold as ideal cut, .73 and .74 carats. There's a slight color mismatch - both have a brown tint, which is what I wanted, but one is darker for sure. I may purchase a third L colored single stud to see if I can get a better match, and do something with the odd one out...





A fun ring created for me by Jo of Instagram's Sensible Splendor. This is (IIRC) a .44 H colored ideal round lab grown diamond, and a vivid orangy-yellow heart shape, also lab grown. I sent her a terrible sketch that I drew on my phone with my stylus, and her bench jeweler knocked it out of the park! The ring is yellow gold, except for the basket holding the round.



Thanks for letting me share with you! I love seeing all the beautiful eye candy here!

I love everything in this post!!

I just received the 2 ctw earrings in yellow gold from Lightbox! Super fast (free) shipping via FedEx. Total price was $1755 with a 10% off coupon they were running last week. For my wife for Christmas! I am very pleased.

I posted about this in the Black Friday deals thread but my new oval diamond band just arrived! I love it!! They’re F/G and SI1+ but they look much whiter to me. There’s some slight bow tie happening but they’re super sparkly and nice for the price! 2ctw with each oval clocking in at .40ct each.

I have them in white gold and love them!!

Hi everyone. I guess this is the right place to post. I took a half carat Lightbox diamond out of it's setting and made my own ring in fine silver. I love that with created diamonds it's okay to be creative! I need to fix a few areas of the ring. But so far I'm really enjoying it ...I just love Lightboxdiamonds

 

[CaseySF]

It's pink. Obviously

Pretty ring. I am looking forward to seeing how creative people will be with cuts and settings for LGDs.

 

[CaseySF]

Me too. due to lower pricing I think it allows people to play a little with design.

 

[CaseySF]

It's made with an antique steel die. It's actually the same method that Van Craeynest uses. It's three parts and then put together.

 

[CaseySF]

Its supposed to be pink. But it does look a bit orangy in certain lighting.

Reset my lab diamond from DG in rose gold so trying out this stack. First pic is in low light next to our Christmas tree. I love how the diamond changes depending on the light.

I hope I’m not being too obnoxious with this new ring, I just love it.

This one is my something old (single cut eternity) something new stack

Uh, no. Where is my video?!

 

[YadaYadaYada]

@stracci2000 @DejaWiz @ItsMainelyYou you all are too sweet, thanks for sharing in my excitement

I know, I really need to get with the times and get a YouTube account or one of the other video sharing platforms. My husband says I’m eternally 87 because I’m resistant to change. For reference we are both 42

I finally made one at the ripe old age of 43, just to post here. So yeah, I feel you.

 

[DejaWiz]

Now I really don't feel that old.
Wait, ouch, my back...

Great photo! Really captures the sparkle.

Definitely fancy pink. It’s very saturated in color.
