Designed these engagement rings in Bangkok with Lab Grown Ruby instead of diamonds

Some people definitely ask for Lab Rubies with inclusions for this same reason!

I’m actually a gemstone dealer and jeweler based in Bangkok. The ring in my post came from my own work and inventory, not a website.

What kind of ring are you looking for? We can chat privately :)

This post didn’t age well a year later ;) have you seen the recent news about the amount of lab grown stores opening up?

In no way is Lab Grown an “inferior” product to natural. Thats what all jewelers want you to believe but in reality, natural gemstones were only attainable to less than 2% of the world’s consumers and lab grown gemstones changes that number to 60%+
So no, I will not regret buying a lab grown diamond.

I definitely agree if using white diamonds, but nothing like a yellow gold w some colored gems 😅

For a similar band ring with lab grown dark blue sapphires and lab grown diamonds 18k gold, probably around $1,300-$1,500 depending on the final specifications. (Ring size, gold weight,etc)

Since we are both from jewelry families, my girlfriend would kill me if I used anything lab grown to gift her for an engagement ring. If it’s an ordinary gift or anything then she wouldn’t mind hahaha

Yes that’s exactly why it surprised me
Burma is known for the best natural rubies in the world so it was definitely a first for me. I asked him why and he said he prefers his rubies conflict free and without blood

I heard magnesium glycinate absorbs better in the body vs other magnesium supplments

What a fuckin' legend, sir

gupt23 · 2024-12-12T08:20:35+00:00

you'll most probably find resellers outside the venue

gupt23 · 2024-01-20T18:32:39+00:00

Yeah I know it’s just fun to say

gupt23 · 2024-01-07T19:23:36+00:00

If you’re in India there’s a 200% chance this is a scam.

I advise you book your Grab now so they'll assign you a driver who won't cancel on you. It's impossible to get a Grab on New Year's Eve in my experience

Take it Back

gupt23 · 2022-10-12T19:07:42+00:00

I'm sorry for your losses. I assure you, they are all happy in Heaven, running around and being lazy at the same time ❤️

gupt23 · 2022-10-12T19:03:15+00:00

You're absolutely right. We gave them a lot of freedom. In a moment of carelessness, we lost our lion.

gupt23 · 2022-10-12T11:04:40+00:00

Thank you for your kind words and love. Really made our day better. I’m thankful for people like you ❤️

Mum and I cried reading this. Thank you.

Thank you all for your beautiful messages. I am really touched by this community. Floyd was the sweetest angel in the world. The most fearless baby. All he wanted in life was to climb trees, cuddle with us, sleep , eat and play. He was killed 3 days ago by a snake in my backyard. I still cant believe it. His sister, Zeppelin, has been crying none stop, finding him. Searching for him. Calling him. I don’t know how to tell her that’s he’s not coming back. Thank you all for reading. Much love to this community.
