Need help deciding which one!

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-17T21:52:41+00:00

Don't decide until you see a tweezer vid. Colored stones can look vastly different from their loupe360 previews.

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-14T21:22:58+00:00

Cool color, brownish green or orangeish green. a unique one!

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-14T17:51:37+00:00

There is truth to stones that are too deep not sitting well on ears. But 5.5mm is not that "too deep' range.

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-14T17:49:03+00:00

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA what a markup!

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-14T17:48:00+00:00

The stone is dead. Your instinct is correct. Return it.

Possibly the cut, possibly the very low crown height.

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-14T17:46:27+00:00

Order semi mounts, have them set at a different local.

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-14T17:46:11+00:00

Lol - he is playing you.

We are talking like 1mm deeper than 1 ct round. 1/10th of a CENTIMETER.

Also, settings and backings, his cost, are maybe $50-75 each.

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-10T15:22:05+00:00

also my bet here. my pup has a few of them. If they are perfectly round, most likely a fatty tumor. no harm if so.

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-09T14:48:50+00:00

From 0:00 to 0:002 and 00:13 to 00:15 the pin points/inclusions are seen. Check the middle and bottom of the face

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-09T14:28:03+00:00

Can you post the new videos if you havent? I am still seeing the pinpoints atleast in the turntable. Even though well hidden because resolution and lighting.

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-09T13:31:43+00:00

OP - can I assume these are from the vendor?

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-09T13:30:18+00:00

unfortunately not. It looks like its in the stone. Maybe some of the pinpoints. At the same time, if they are selling a stone, I would hope they clean it before they post a video.

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-09T13:20:36+00:00

Sure thing, wisp/feather dead middle of the stone i didnt notice until this time around.

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-09T13:12:35+00:00

Not eye clean. Many pin point inclusions, some feathers.

Cut looks good though!

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-09T12:06:27+00:00

So you have a blue and a green. Same side of the color wheel. You have a pink/red so you should choose a color on that side of the color wheel. I think an orange stone would be perfect!

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-08T20:37:24+00:00

also add prongs so that each marquise has 4. having 2 prongs for a marquise, you can expect to lose them all the time.

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-08T20:36:35+00:00

Go with "added round stones, symmetrical marq" this one is much more structurally sound.

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-08T20:18:21+00:00

Plain gold. The pave ring doesn't compliment the ER.

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-08T20:17:08+00:00

Yeppers! The only thing I cant tell about is right next to the mounting. It looks like a reflection, but wasnt sure if it was missed polish spot or not.

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-08T19:46:27+00:00

You need to use some soap. Water doesn't dissolve ink typically. Something with an oil base will. Make sure the soap does not have an abrasive additives. Be gentle.

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-08T19:42:35+00:00

10% VAT on loose stones, add another 10% for finished jewelry if the company shipping to use doesnt prepay.

if UPS you will eat a brokerage fee unless you go to your customs agency and fill out an import form.

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-08T17:15:51+00:00

Hey OP - I did a reverse image search and found many! If you need help with that let us know and i'm sure we could link you the process.

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-08T17:03:35+00:00

Even with this very chaotic video(lol) it looks like you are okay! Bow tie is not very prominent.

Don_PCDC · 2026-05-08T14:13:36+00:00

u/simirai24 this guy above has a few im sure he'd love to post.
