I have a three stone RH ring that I want to have made that is similar to/inspired by the ring above that I found on eBay, and I think I want to go with French cuts for it. Since this will be a fun-to-wear piece vs something ‘heirloom-y’, and because I want to put the fund$ that would be $pent on FC diamonds into other projects, I think moissanite makes sense. Sizewise, I am thinking probably 3mm - 4mm - 3mm as I like the slight variation/scale of the inspiration ring.

So who has FC moissy to show off/share, where did you source it from, how do you like it, pricing, etc? Please feel free to post pics (duh! :lol-2:) along with the sizes of your stones and - if on the finger - your ring size please to get a sense for scale.

I kinda like the look of JuliaB’s FCs, as they aren’t too high, but the tables aren’t cut to octagonal shapes, and I don’t want to just go with the first source I find.

Thanks much! :wavey:

@mrsgreeneyes your band is beautiful! Do you happen to know if the Tianyu FCs have octagonal cut tables or square tables?

@molecule I played with your pic a bit, and I think the FCs are 2.5mm, as they appear just a smidge smaller than the asschers ... unless my eyes are playing tricks on me.

I think I would feel better ordering from a U.S.-based seller, as overseas returns can be a PITA. Are there any other sellers anyone may know of who I should consider?

@molecule one more ? - did Julia happen to mention the color of the FCs, by chance?

Julia offered 2 different colors. I ordered FG and they appeared a bit more yellow (excuse the picture quality...) 20180712_153922.jpg

I was thinking about asking David what he thought they were, but it might taint the ring if they're lower than I ordered.

Thank you @molecule I don’t mind a little body color (I prefer it actually). I may just go ahead and order the 3 loose stones from her and cross my fingers. They’re not terribly expensive so it’s not a huge risk. :wavey:

I think the square tables are perfect for this design!

Hi! How much did you pay for the French cuts if you don’t mind please? I’m considering diamond alternatives for my setting. Thank you
