Your Latest Jewelry Purchases/Things You're Considering (Lab Grown Version)....

After what feels like a loooong search, I’m finally waiting on a 2.79ct EC with 2- 0.25ct side tapered baguettes three stone ring from IDJ. I just approved the final CAD on Tuesday and am waiting on the wax model to arrive!
 
My new ring shipped, arrived at its pickup location last night (Friday) and the location is open today (Saturday). But I can’t pick up the ring until Monday because 2-day shipping was not guaranteed until Monday. Kafkaesque.
 
I’ve listed my Antique Style Halo Cluster from DK on LoupeTroop if anyone is interested- just reduced the price as well! Photos are posted earlier in this thread.

I got DSS with my 3.5ct lab EC before I even sent it to get set… so last night, I was browsing through Ritani and found a gorgeous 5ct at a nice price. I ordered it, but the order was cancelled this morning because the diamond was no longer available. So I searched again and found another beautiful EC at $650/carat… even cheaper than the 5ct, and the diamond has been secured!

Long story short, I have a 6.02 FVS2 lab Emerald cut on the way…! Hope it’s as beautiful as I think it will be!

Hi! Do you mind me asking where you found your emerald cut and your cushion? Thanks in advance
 
I purchased a 2.75 G VS1 lab emerald and exchanged it for a larger 3.45 G VS1. I loved the 2.75 but DSS got to me and I was lucky enough to be able to exchange it. Here it is.
I realize I prefer the 1.4 ratio on the new lab. The smaller one was 1.5. Plus the way they did the prongs for the new stone is better in my opinion, they are smaller and less obtrusive.
First photo is the 2.75. Second is 3.45

I sometimes want to wear all yellow gold jewelry so I purchased this stone from Frank Darling and I am having it set in their milgrain round bezel - Hoping to bring out the butter tones in the stone with the yellow gold.
 
Received my ring from Alex Park. It's a 2.88ct G/VS1 ideal cut with H&A comment on the IGI certificate. Took less than 3 weeks from approving CAD to finish the ring. The stone blows me away, it's beautiful, so big and so white for a G!! I'm sure DSS will come soon:twirl:

That stone cut is seriously amazing! Love the V prong detail too. So modern and bold and overall very cool!! You wear it so well
 
I can't for the life of me get any great pictures of this stone...but here's to trying. This is my first lab stone ring from Alex Park. It's a 2.51 F VS1 oval in a clawed milgrain bezel w/ a satin finish. Ring size 5.75.
I was afraid it would be 'too big' for me especially set east/west...but it seems ok so far . Tried to set it as low as possible and I'm pleasantly surprised at how comfortable it is to wear!

Oops, messed up the reply. When I first saw this setting with a step cut oval moissanite I "had" to make one but sadly the size stone I got made the steps look fuzzy. I then went for a lab diamond with a similar setting (bc I loved the style so much)...and this is the result.
 
Thank you! I

Was honestly afraid it would be too wide for my liking but DSS has come over me the last couple years. I blame it on my poor eye sight!
Thank you!!

Thank you so much. I'm very happy with my ring and Alex did a great job from my sketch.
Yours is gorgeous, so elegant and the satin finish is Chef's kiss :kiss2::clap:
 
I bought an LG antique cushion today from ID Jewelry :kiss2: It's a 3.25ct F VS1, measuring 10.15 X 7.62. They had showed me a larger 4.8ct cushion last week, which was absolutely GORGEOUS, but alas it was a little out of my price range and almost felt too big on me. I love the size of this one; feels like enough finger coverage without being too flashy (to me).

(Need a fresh mani badly lol)

It is currently being set in this 4-prong setting with pave shank, and I should be able to pick it up later this week or early next (whenever I can get back to their office). For reference, I normally wear a 6.5-7 on my ring finger.
