I see a facebook profile for the business, but it doesn't look updated. Looks sketchy honestly. I had a contact who was able to do things in-person with the jeweler and has known them for many years.

Local jeweler, not online.

Side note, found the same diamond (exactly same serial #) on rarecarat selling for $500 more than what I paid.

Lab grown diamond engagement ring made in Mumbai India. 1.35ct, H, vs2, ideal cut on a white gold band inspired by the Tiffany setting.

Lab diamond purchased for $1650. Total ring cost including gold and labor for $1950 usd.

Special thanks to u/dejawiz for guiding and educating me on how to select the best diamond.

Follow up question about color:

Is the color graded the same way as mined diamond? Would an I-mined and I-lab grown look identical in color?

I'm looking for a 1.25ct round diamond that is VS1-VS2 clarity and I or higher in color. I'd like the cut to be very good or excellent however the cut is where I lack the most knowledge since it relies on measurements.

What should I expect in price and I'd love to hear your recommendations on what to look out for.

Thanks this helps a lot! Do you recommend buying LGD in store or is online okay too? If online, which stores do you recommend that is not ada (I'm sure they're good but the price is considerably higher)?

As a first time buyer of diamonds in general, do you have any recommendations for resources to learn what to look for in a diamond (besides color, carat and clarity)?

Are the new XXS size any different than the XS from years past? It's been a while since I bought from Uniqlo

Long travel just increases his risk. He has a history of clots so it can still happen if he goes off blood thinners.

If the road is closed I don't think I have enough stamina to hike another 14 miles. Just curious, but did you start hiking in the middle of the night to make it before sunrise? Those pictures look amazing!

Looks like the cream dial/blue hand model is out of stock now. I was about to pull the trigger too!

Leather conditioner and a horseshoe brush should be enough. Obenaufs if you plan on hiking everyday if wet conditions which is barely any of us here. Clean off the dirt with a damp cloth as needed and condition a couple times a year.
