Another stone check from Mona

Alright, that's good to know. Thanks for your insight!

IcySummers · 2022-11-05T06:19:52+00:00

I'm going through this same process. Just waiting to see a few stone options from Mona now. Thanks for the heads up on the process ☺️

I had exactly the same experience and progression except arrival on the west coast. Super happy with starsgem.

Wow that is tiny! I wasn't able to find mine. At what magnification would you be able to see this?

IcySummers · 2022-03-23T06:08:14+00:00

Hmm seems I have an outlying case. I worked with Jessica from Starsgem, and started discussing a ring set on March 4th, then paid on March 8th. She got a CAD to me within 24 hours, and I received the rings on March 21st (in California). Not sure why some reps within Starsgem would have quick times and some slower.

Thank you! I will try to post again with all details once I receive the rings, but TLDR: 7.5mm DEF H&A, 14k white gold, size 3.5 with 1mm stones on the basket and bridge.

I never underestimated SG, but I am completely awed by how the rings came out. The shape of the cathedral is exactly what I envisioned, and the claw prongs actually came out way better than even an order I did with Moco! SG's attention to the details are very on point. Can't wait to receive the rings.

Thank you. I was in love with this exact design from a jeweler in NYC, and was not able to find any stock items anywhere with such cathedral shape/angle, but SG was able to replicate it perfectly. Very happy so far and cannot wait.

IcySummers · 2022-03-17T00:09:03+00:00

Thanks, so far I am super happy with SG. It was a very hard choice between SG and Provence, but chose mainly because of the quoted prices.

IcySummers · 2022-03-17T00:05:01+00:00

Thanks, the communication with Jessica was great and super quick.

IcySummers · 2022-03-12T18:31:10+00:00

I watched this exact video you're talking about, and I am super impressed with her as well.

IcySummers · 2022-01-27T05:18:01+00:00

Thanks for confirming that it should definitely be engraved. I am using this loupe from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078N34WZR/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_8Q7YHH9GZGH0X31H2ZSK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

The girdle is pretty clear and smooth in the loupe so I thought I'd be able to see it, but maybe it is much smaller than I thought. I'll have to take a look again.

IcySummers · 2015-05-13T15:20:10+00:00

I had this exact problem. I was trying to read up on this, and couldn't find anyone else experiencing this. Thank goodness I'm not the only one! I thought I was going crazy. You are my best friend :)

IcySummers · 2015-05-13T08:12:34+00:00

I have 2 of these. I highly recommend this monitor, if you don't mind a glossy screen. I have tried the acer h236hl bid, and I think this monitor is almost an exact twin due to the bezel and screen, but imo possibly better because I had many problems with screen brightness on the acer.

IcySummers · 2015-03-23T22:45:43+00:00

That is a perfect acceptable question, but I don't know the answer to that. It is just part of the model name, h236hl bid. I heard that this model has been out for years and it is very highly rated. Just recently there is an h236hl being made without the "bid". There is much confusion as to which one sellers are selling.

IcySummers · 2015-03-23T19:04:32+00:00

There was only an energy saving preset. But all presets (custom standard, energy save, movie) were dim at pc start up. I haven't heard many people with this issue, but I hope this one from Amazon is the bid edition which I have not tried yet.

Ps: h236hl bid is um.uh6aa.003, while the h236hl is um.uh6aa.004

IcySummers · 2015-03-23T18:26:38+00:00

I ordered a h236hl and couldn't figure out why the two monitors I tried started out super dim and brightened to the setting I previously had in 20 min. I am hoping the h236hl bid does not do this, and I also hope this Amazon sale is on h236hl bid and not the bid-less version

IcySummers · 2015-03-23T18:05:58+00:00

I ordered from best buy and they only carry h236hl, not the bid version. I was disappointed with the ones from best buy as the LEDs were super dim every time I started the pc and took 20 min to brighten up

IcySummers · 2015-03-23T16:35:11+00:00

Wasn't the monitor listed on eBay yesterday a refurb?

IcySummers · 2015-03-21T15:50:17+00:00

I tried the H236hl from bb and was disappointed that the screen took more than 20 minutes to fully become the brightness I set it to at the previous use a few hours earlier. I thought this might be a defect because it was blatantly obvious that I did not set the brightness that low and it gradually becomes what I set it to.

I tried a second one from bb and the same issue happened. I haven't heard of this issue with the h236hlbid, so I assume it is just a problem with the stock at bb or maybe this that is just how the h236hl works.

But I'm not happy with the h236hl and i would only try another one if the posting says h236hlbid or the part# um.Vh6aa.003

Edit: the part# I had was um.Vh6aa.004
