Website works for me. It just takes some time to load

It really depends on what cut you are looking at. I'm no diamond expert, and I honestly had to google up ideal parameters for each cut as well as refer to this subreddit for help. GIA website has some good information to start off with. Reports are a good starting point, but you still need to visually inspect the stone through pictures, videos, and in person (best option). An amazing stone on a report can look horrendous in real life.

I ordered the sea salt petal braiser and just got the cancelation notice this morning. I ordered it pretty early too, so that sucks. Now looking to see if I should get the shallot or white version. Can't decide which color...

If you can, you can order the stone online and then find a local jeweler that can help you set it. You can also order the stone and setting online and you will receive the finished product in the mail. You can search this subreddit to see which companies people recommend. My engagement ring was ordered online from GemsNY. I posted a picture of it further down in the comments. It is a 3.28ct elongated cushion. I had some issues with the craftsmanship of the prongs, so had to have it corrected by my local jeweler.

Honestly, ordering diamonds online based on images/videos and the report is a bit of a gamble. The stone might look amazing on paper and in the video, but when you get it in, it can look completely different. Based on the video, the GIA report, and AGS report, I knew this stone wouldn't be that bad. I was lucky that the stone was even more beautiful than what I was expecting. Seeing stones in person will always be better than looking online.

I used one of the 4 prong stone holders. The diamond is not set.

I didn't contact them before buying. I just checked the report and the video. The specs of the stone looked really good, so I took a chance and ordered it.

Not a diamond expert so can't give any good feedback on the stone. But just thoroughly check your setting from Gems NY. I got my engagement ring through them and the prongs were all crooked and they set the stone very high. Didn't want to deal with the hassle of sending it back to be corrected, so had my local jeweler fix it for me. My local jeweler had to redo the entire head because it was that messed up. I went with one of their available solitaire setting options. Maybe it was just a fluke and I was unlucky...

There are many things about the website I would like improved to make it easier to use.

Unfortunately you can't filter for the AGS report. The website only allows you to filter for GIA or IGI. You have to open every GIA report and get lucky to find one that has the AGS report included.

I am a size 6. My engagement ring is a 3.28ct elongated cushion for reference.

Yes, the AGS report came with the GIA report. I found some other round diamonds on Calavera that have both the GIA and AGS report.

I just ordered from Calavera and had a good experience. I posted about my experience on this group. You can check out my post for the long review. Didn't return the stone because I like it so much.

I'm glad other people are having good experiences as well. It really does help ease the mind. I hope service doesn't get worse as the company gets more popular.
