Show me the Bling - the Laboratory Grown version!

[cushioncutnut]

Thank you! I was really impressed with the OEC moissanite I purchased from Tianyu a couple years ago and I finally got to see some of their lab OECs from other posters on Reddit. Unfortunately Tianyu doesn’t make too many OECs as they’re a little more difficult to cut and lose more material in the cutting process than the RBs…at least from what I’ve read from other posters.

I’ll try to share the ring once I figure out what I want. If I decide to make it into an RHR, I might do a target ring!

It is beautiful! Please show us pics of the settings you are considering.

So this is my current e-ring setting, which I considered, but I don't think I'll go this route since I don't plan on replacing my e-ring after all: https://debebians.com/products/8-pr...8&_fid=96b8bed74&_ss=c&variant=41697046495329

I'm thinking of something along the lines of this because emerald is my birthstone and green happens to be my favorite color!: https://ivyandrose.com/products/old...CLzPPhejDtFnh4HdoI_z05psCMBKwr0waAlo3EALw_wcB



Or this one!:



I've worked with Ivy and Rose a couple times and they've been fine, although I might try to show this to my local jeweler and see if they can emulate something similar. I'm not really concerned of having the stone look super white (I really wanted a near colorless OEC!) so I might get this in yellow gold.

I don't want anything super big, but I definitely want lots of bright green.

I've also considered blue sapphire as well as it's my husband's birthstone, but if I go that route I'll stick with the white gold.

That will be gorgeous!

Here is my engagement ring upgrade. So happy with it. @DejaWiz helped me with the stone. Setting by David Klass.

LGD antique square cushion, ~ 0.50 ct, sterling silver setting, Advertised as G-H, VS, and it seems accurate. Quite sparkly. Cheaper than a short, 1.5 mm gold chain these days. From Ouros, who I’ve had good experiences with. (You get what you pay for and that’s fair.)

It isn’t an AVC but it’s not pretending to be. It’s at least as pretty, if not prettier, than a lot of lab grown colored stones set in silver that are for sale everywhere. It’s cheaper than some moissanite (which is a pretty stone in its own right). LGD are such a game changer.

New eternity channel set band. 0.30 carats, 14k wg 2mm. Love the no prong vibes.

I just received final pictures from David Klass Can’t wait to get it tomorrow!

I just realized that in all my excitement, I forgot one, small detail:
Size 6 ring on size 5.5 finger.
More helpful info:
My E-Ring is 1.8mm-2.0mm wide, and tapers up at the center split shank. There is a collar around the head of the setting with 5 bead set round diamonds along each side (4) of the collar. The profile of the shank is also set with 9 bead set round diamonds on both sides.

I captured some candid hand shots with DH, while relaxing on the couch the other evening.

@uyalison
Are you able to provide specs on your 5 stone LGDs? Approx size, ct wt, color, clarity?

Not sure where to post SMTB lab grown colored gemstones so I will do so here. I just got this gorgeous lab emerald necklace with slider bezel from TakeTwo. It can be worn NS or EW.
3.2 ct 8 x 10mm cushion cut in 18 kt yellow gold. My husband picked it out. <3 He loves it. I love it. It does flip, but less so when worn NS.

It is much glowier in person!

3.52 ct E/VS1 elongated mine cut in platinum.

Hi Lizz, I saw a Bailey Banks and Biddle Aquamarine emerald cut ring posted back in 2006. Do you happen to have this ring still?

 

[Austina]

It’s stunning @Matthews1127 Nd looks perfect on your hand! I’m seriously considering selling Bella at some point and getting a stonking LGD Emerald cut

Thank you so much, @Austina!!
You know I love step cuts, and I’d be happy to assist you in choosing the right HONKING EC of your dreams, someday! My “Neaugh” was made just for me! It was meant to be!
May yours find you so easily, when the time comes!

I have gone a little stud earring crazy and have 2 new pair of lab studs. I purchased the stones through Alex Park and the custom settings are through David Klass. I am a bezel girl at heart but love collet settings with 8 pointed prongs. This is venturing out design-wise for me and happy with the result.

2ctw lab OECs in an 8 prong setting in brushed 18K yellow gold. I love the subtle flashes and high crown.



2 ctw round brilliant lab stones in a collet-inspired 8 prong setting. The scalloped edge on the basket visually frames the stone giving the appearance of a bezel. I am obsessed with blackened rhodium finish so went with 10K brushed white gold as recommended to save on cost and maintain the finish.

Thank you for sharing the details! Each diamond compliments the others! I love the proportions!! Outstanding job with the design, and appeal!!
If you don’t mind me asking, do you know/recall the LxW ratio of your center Radiant? Do you find the smaller stones closely resemble the center? Aesthetically, it’s gorgeous!
Thank you for sprinkling some love for my EC!! I share your love for the 4ct rectangular beauties!

I love these little treasures!
