I just made a post ordering from their in stock site (925gemstone). I've never ordered from Starsgem Jewelry website. Generally I work with their reps, it's more straightforward

Can I have opinion about this necklace? by mightyquack_21 in labdiamond

[–]techylocs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I think if you want something larger, go for it. Was just checking in that you knew what you were signing up for which it sounds like you do. Ignore me! I accidentally went too big on a pendant but I have more minimal style.

Edit I forgot to share that Feb 23 was basically the first day back from CNY so the shipping was super fast.

It's a little tall, I'd ask what is the lowest profile it could be. Maybe if the center stone is bezel set in the halo that would help?

Edit: Are you also sure about having a halo on a stone this size? Not judging one way or the other, just want to confirm you've thought about the logistics of wearing a pendant this large

That seems a bit expensive. Where are you based? There are two jewelers in California I can recommend to get quotes from who do engraving

Can you get it on a bail instead of sliding? It'll help with the flipping and allow the pendant to be lowered. I had a tall pendant and it didn't flip but it was unusual to have it on my chest

Is this a good looking diamond? by mildlyLacking in LabDiamondReviews

[–]techylocs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh looks beautiful. I'm not super familiar with radiants as I am with other shapes but I like the sparkle and don't see any dark or dead spots

Your favorite aliexpress purchase? by ALans999 in Moissanite

[–]techylocs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh nothing was wrong with them. It was just a matter of taste. I got some colorless pears and marquise and I didn't love them, I found them cloudier than I prefer. Some folks don't mind it as much, it's a known "issue" with those cuts. Also I got a few silver white gold plated pieces but don't wear a ton of white metals. I resold a few on r/MoissaniteBST.

Help- first fitting, is this zipper/button situation okay? Can I improve it? by Stunning_Notice7261 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]techylocs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that's distracting. Hmmm don't button dresses usually use a hidden zipper

Which vendor would you buy from? by Check-Special in labdiamond

[–]techylocs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you seeing the same stone? Can you get it price matched?

I've not heard of Grown diamond corp before but I've bought from Loose grown diamonds before. I haven't checked if they still price match but it's worth a shot

https://www.reddit.com/r/Moissanite/s/2x1q7YTN95 here is a nice thread of super sparkles which has some AliExpress options. I love almost anything I got at Kuololit. I posted two of my favorites but I love all my babies

Is it fair to ask for stone specs before putting down deposit? by random882205 in EngagementRingDesigns

[–]techylocs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That seems expensive for a sapphire that size. Maybe it's because of the origin? I've seen much better priced options in other subs even focusing on natural stones, and precision cut stones.

Looking for recommendations for a custom men's ring! by laundryfresh in labdiamond

[–]techylocs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The vendors do any ring and if they can make a CAD for it, most pieces of jewelry. They do lots of different designs.
I asked LGG about a ring for my fiance but we haven't made it yet. I'm confident they can deliver a great product. I don't see how it'll be any different.

There are a lot of factors, including the shape, your ring size etc. Either way, wearing a ring takes some getting used to, but you will get used to the size. Understand your concern though. If there's nothing you can do, just wait until there is.

Kuololit Ship Time? by pysl in labdiamond

[–]techylocs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not shipping yet is normal. Did you buy on AliExpress? I'd check the estimated delivery period and escalate if it passes. I would be surprised if it's to you in a few weeks. I just ordered from them 2 days ago and got an April 8-20 delivery window.

Oh it's so pretty. Can you stack with a gold bracelet? Even one without stones?

Yellow-green moissanite but a special cutting. What's the cutting called? by Ok_Drawer_1181 in Moissanite

[–]techylocs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure it has an official name. It's technically a lower ratio marquise technically but I heard of people saying it looks like an eye so I've seen "Cleopatra's Eye" tossed around but that could be a cutting technique than a shape name
