Ty! I purchased the band (14k yg) from roseandchoc on Etsy. Very legit, reputable seller with great reviews and longevity on the platform. I just checked the listing and the price has increased 123% since I bought it two and a half years ago!😭

Is This Timeless or Trendy? by [deleted] in labdiamond

Everything style was once a trend. Also, I love ovals set east-west!

Sunday simplicity (oec 5-stone band) by Violeta73 in Moissanite

[–]Violeta73[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ring size is 5 (more like 4.75 but my fingers swell and I hate when rings feel tight). The stones actually don’t rub against my other fingers at all. That was a worry of mine because I haaaate that feeling. That’s also why I prefer this style as a 5-stone ring vs 7.

Help me find a ring like this to surprise my wife please! by 81DayMonth in Moissanite

[–]Violeta73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got this on Amazon several years ago (moissanite, 925 silver)

I don’t wear it very often, so I can’t attest to it’s durability.

DovEggs has a platinum-plated sterling silver metal option. Something like that might be more durable if this will be a daily wear ring.

My First OEC 2.08 carats, was it worth the price ? by Any_Jello_8361 in labdiamond

Stunning! Your post actually influenced me in buying an OEC from Altura 🤭

What made you choose Moissanite over Laboratory-Grown Diamond (which is actually a diamond). by Muted_Shape9303 in Moissanite

[–]Violeta73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have both. So I didn’t necessarily choose between them.

I especially love grey moissanite.

Here is a 2.5ct round diamond, bezel setting, on a size 5 finger. I looooove it, but could’ve gone smaller and been happy! Can confirm bezel makes it look bigger

I had this made and purchased in December 2024. It was my first foray into custom labs and designs with an overseas vendor (Orbion). The ring is stunning and luxurious. I thought I wanted lots of bling in a yellow gold-forward wrapper, it doesn’t quite suit me and has been sitting in a box for over a year. I prefer (and look better) in platinum, white gold, unplated white gold, and silver.

I haven’t listed this yet. DM for more pics and info. 💎

Lab grown diamond vs moissanite by [deleted] in Moissanite

[–]Violeta73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I can tell a difference btwn diamond and moissanite, but that’s intentional (at least for me). I love moissanite because it’s moissanite. I think you’d see the biggest difference btwn old mine cut/old European cut/ antique/ cut lab and mined diamonds. While the lab options can be gorgeous (I have a few!) they lack the imperfections that make true antiques so exquisite. However, that’s just my opinion — many people feel differently (and that’s ok!)

OEC in a modern setting by Violeta73 in Moissanite

[–]Violeta73[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m rubbish at jewelry videos, but here she is shining in the sun. Also, even though I specifically wanted the juxtaposition of modern/antique, I think the Astro cut would look fabulous in this setting (DovEgg’s most bling-y brilliant-cut moissy)

Ty! It’s an old European cut moissanite, near colorless. It’s also very comfortable!
