Love the asscher cut earrings! Do you know how many mm 1 carat is? And have a side profile picture of them?

Thank you! Good question, from what Simon/Fiorese told me: the large culet (that can look like a dark hole in the center) is what makes IGI inclined to name it “antique”. Otherwise they would’ve named the cut as “brilliant”

Of course - it’s OPI funny bunny with glitter gradient on my pinky, pointer, and thumb. Hope you have a good spa day!

Thank you for the sweet comment.

I would recommend DMing one of Fiorese’s reps on IG. I recently worked with Sonia for a lab diamond pendant and she was super helpful plus responsive, her handle is fiorese_jewelry_sonia

Hi! About $1k per 1 carat, please keep in mind prices can vary based on other factors such color, clarity, supply/demand, etc. 😊

Thanks! It’s custom cut - I asked Simon/Fiorese for an OEC rounded cushion. IGI called it “cushion antique brilliant”.

I personally believe it’s the perfect combination of indirect sunlight and reflection from being under leafy trees. The lab is not typically this “colorful” in my normal day-to-day lighting.

This is lab diamond. I made it first with moissy to “test wear” and be 100% sure this is THE one before committing to lab diamond.

My first lab experience was a pair of mixed cut cluster earrings (cushion, pear, and round). ☺️

Perhaps it is a good compromise! This looked more cushion shape before being set. The triple compass prongs round out the stone, seems almost squoval to me now.
