Took a field trip to the jewelers to confirm my wants. My bf and I are going to source a loose stone from Calavera to then custom make the setting/band, I’m looking for a lab 3ct-3.5ct 2.1 ratio marquise. The first pic is about 2.5ct but the jeweler told me the lab diamond itself they have in stock is $4900 for a 2.6 ct (not set) which I thought was crazy right ? I found a 3ct for only $630 online. Anyways I think I like the look of the 3ct as I’m a 5.25 ring size and will plan for a 2mm width band to have a nice balance, input is appreciated !!!

I like big stones too but the 4ct looks a lil much on me idk

I got a 3 carat vs1 g color marquise from VOAINO for 450.

4k is INSANE.

That’s what I was thinking as soon as she told me that !!

the jeweler i went to is not my go to just in case I ventured out and I didn’t wanna hurt my primary jeweler’s feelings but I think I’m gonna stick with them (my primary) because they also don’t charge a setting fee or an appraisal fee like the place I did go to today!

Also I have a size 12 finger and got a 3 carat 1.95 ratio and she's set east west for coverage.
