We actually got engaged in May but he proposed with a temporary ring so that I could have full control over my design. We ordered this custom ring from Provence and I’m sooooo beyond pleased. I keep staring at it.

I fell in love with the color of tanzanites and have been on the quest for the perfect purple. If you want to guess, only one of the rings is an actual tanzanite. I’ll give you a clue that the loose stone is also natural.

I bought ring #5 first, it’s Kuololit’s sister store nano tanzanite. Nano gemstones are pretty soft, but in case of tanzanite, they are actually harder than the real thing. The purple is so cute, I wanted a bigger stone. So I got #2. I thought it would be nano too, it’s a cheap ring from Etsy. But I now think it’s a cornflower lab sapphire, or it’s just other color nano. It’s listed as tanzanite, but that’s for sure not it.

So, continuing my quest, I tried getting a “tanzanite color garnet” from Jeff Davis and son, it’s #3. I don’t know why, since garnet is also soft. I was very disappointed, it does not look purple at all, it’s a very bright indigo blue, that flashes purple on artificial lightning

Now pause in the spoilers to explain gemstones: tanzanite is a very interesting stone. It’s one of the most rare, since it can only be found in a 4km area in Tanzania. It also has very distinct colors on its axis, you look the stone from the top and it’s cute purple, and from its side it’s royal blue like sapphire. In the beginning, people favored the blue axis because it was seen as a sapphire alternative. Nowadays, I think people prefer the purple axis.

So technically, this could be tanzanite color, just not the color I was expecting. So I decided to bite the bullet and buy the real thing. I won an auction, the loose stone #1, and was promptly terrified of setting it! Tanzanite is so soft, it scratches with dust. So setting can really scratch the stone and I’ve been postponing it.

I postponed it so much, that I now won a second auction, for ring #4! It’s a very beautiful color, darker but still purple (the camera didn’t pick up the color correctly for this and #3). I will definitely wear that one as often as possible, even though I will be terrified each time lol. The loose stone I’ll probably set on a pendant someday.

Maybe someday i will get a purple sapphire, but i am done with purple for the time being 🤪

Just wanted to share that I had a very smooth experience ordering from Scott Bonomo on Etsy. The shop was very gracious about me panic changing the size after ordering lol and I received the ring before the anticipated delivery date! I adore my gray moissy!! It’s exactly what I was hoping for 🩶🩶🩶🩶

3.75 ct gray moissanite

10x8.5mm elongated cushion cut, platinum setting

Size 7.75

After seeing a post recently about Imolove on Amazon, I decided to get some rings from there to try out. I love them. I think the rose gold actually looks pretty good and the rings are really sparkly.

Just got this light gray cushion cut from Etsy and man does it sparkle! I think gray moissanite is my new favorite!

Will update as my ring arrives!

My experience has been nothing short of fantastic!
I sent my consultant, Maggie, images across of my desired design, budget, overall look etc. And she went ahead and clarified it all, showed me some inspo CAD drawings and confirmed what I was after, after which she then got my CAD drawing down with a $100 USD deposit, before final payment.

All in all, CAD drawing took two days and production was one week. Shipping will be about 1 week.

Details:
Engagement Ring

4 carat Moissanite 12mm height
14k gold band

wedding band
Lab grown diamonds
14k gold band

Total cost: $1180 USD for both rings, postage and design.

I’m pretty certain I like the oval better than the round, it feels kind of small to me. Do I keep? Which one??

Ordered a ring from a group sales and finally got the last inspection pictures and I swear the setting is tilted. This is a 3ct center stone. Am I correct? I have included the link with all pictures and video provided as well.

Thank you for the help!

Looking for real reviews and pics preferably of 10k gold. Can't figure out why it's significantly cheaper than all the other equivalent 10k gold rings

I'm getting a ring designed and I can't decide on the side stone size. The ring will be a 9.5mm OEC with half moon sides. I can do 6.8x4mm to have a "wall of ice" look or 6x3.5mm and put more focus on the center stone.

This is an anniversary ring so I don't need or necessarily want a solitaire style, though I'm not against it (smaller side stones). I'm also a ring size 4, so I know the 9.5mm center is already huge.

Show your 3 stone rings, bonus if it's half moon side stones.

I plan on wearing these together but can’t settle on a format, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance 🤩

Just wanted to make sure that I found the correct one, is it the same vendor as on AliExpress ? I see some items that are only on Alibaba that is not found on AliExpress.

Hey guys I'd love some wisdom from the community! I paid for two custom rings with Provence over two weeks ago, but haven't recieved a CAD yet. I've followed up a couple times but at what point should I be concerned or is closer to three weeks typical? I'm curious how quickly you got CADs for your pieces... Thanks y'all!

Most moissanite earrings I find are either women's studs in a smaller size or super iced out hip-hop stuff. Trying to find something that works for a guy wearing them everyday.

What specs/styles are actually working for you? Single studs, two-stone setups, drops? Does stone size or metal color really change how they look on a guy or am I overthinking it?

Actually not cleaned yet but slipped it on and fell in love all over again. My 2ct moissy knife edge solitaire paired with my diamond eternity wedding band.

After a lot of research i got my first moissanite ring custom made. How is it??

I’ve been looking for a asscher flat back for my nostril piercing either moissanite or lab diamond. I literally cannot find any anywhere except fresh gems which is super overpriced. I emailed stars gems a while ago and never heard back. Does anyone have a suggestion who might make one for me or where they sell them? Just a 18g 6mm thread less flat back so it can be meant for an earlobe too. Please help!

Your 3-4 carat elongated cushion rings :)

I am tickled PINK to be here and can’t wait to join ya’ll soon 💎

We are getting married August 7th, started contact June 28th, approved CAD July 3rd, approved stones July 8th.

I asked if it was possible to be in our hands by August 7th and I was told yes twice. I was informed tonight the band needs a redo. We had purchased his ring pre weight loss and he went down 2 ring sizes, so it's on me for waiting til the last minute, so I am not crazy upset but now I'll be struggling to find something he likes without breaking the bank in the off chance it doesn't make it here 😭.

I just hope it truly wasn't up to standard and I wasn't lied to about the timeline.
