Thanks! This ring was recently custom made for a customer. She told us what she wanted, and from there, we created the CAD for her to review and approve. We are all very pleased with the outcome!
I personally prefer the one on the right: The crushed ice cut is quite sparkly. I don't necessarily need to see the 'bowtie', as I am more concerned with sparkles. In addition, the oval seems a little more elongated in the second stone, which is more slenderising to one's fingers. Thanks for creating this lovely video Sir. Cheers, Alaskana
Thanks. We're glad the videos are being put to good use! If you're in the market for an online diamond, keep us in mind as we're usually able to offer our customers significantly less for the same exact diamond they see listed elsewhere!
Hm.... so, which one WAS the natural Diamond? I must have missed it. I would tend to the one on the right side (watched from here). Why? because of the color and the way it sparkles. the one to the left had something 'watery' . I might be wrong. You tell me!
That's a great question. I believe they are both lab grown diamonds, but for reference, if one was an earth and one was a lab, there should be no way of separating the two from a visual perspective. In my opinion and although a funny analogy, lab grown diamonds are as real of a diamond as a test tube baby is a human (meaning they are made created differently, but even when splitting hairs, the visual outcome should be the exact same).
So my question is, why don't we encourage healthy relationships at a young age? Heres what I mean, all throughout highschool and middle school you're told "don't focus on relationships, focus on school and carrer." And that means, if you do follow that, that youll look for a relationship later in life when everyone is kinda eff up because life. So my question is, why dont we encourage and direct kids at middle school lvl saying "this is what a healthy relationship is" instead of teaching sx ed. And as they grow older in highschool, where there is no real risk, to guide them to be better for one another. Do yall get what im trying to say
That's a great question! There are so many things that children are taught in school. Some of the topics and curriculum I believe will help the kids. Others, I believe will not be so helpfully/healthy toward their development. So as a parent who currently has kids in public schooling, I try my best to lead by example at the home. I also do my best to stay on top and monitor what's being taught to them. If I feel that they are being steered in the wrong direction on a certain topic, I'll explain to them why our family believes differently and from there, I allow them to draw their own conclusions. But to more directly answer the theme of your question as to why our kids are often taught things that we as parents would highly question, I believe it's because many of us have values that often do not reflect the current status quo. So instead of hiding my kids from the crazy outside world, I do my best to prepare them for it and pray that my example (lead by my faith) will be useful to them as they enter the ongoing challenges of life.
Good question.. The 1st light is fluorescent light. The 2nd light is LED light. The 3rd light is intense jewelry spotlighting designed to replicate outdoor sunlight.
Our pleasure. We're glad you enjoyed the video! If you're ever in the market for a Lab Grown diamond, we should be able to beat anyone's prices. A quick email to sales@goodoldgold.com usually saves customers hundreds of dollars compared to other online vendors!
Very informative...but you failed to discuss the key issue $$$. Also would it better to buy the lab grown diamond loose... and then find the setting in your metal 14k white gold, yellow gold vs platinum?
We appreciate your feedback! Buying a diamond loose and placing it in the setting afterwards could have some benefits. For example, many jewelers might have a round diamond with a chip on the side and often they will spin the diamond and set the diamond into a setting while covering the chip with a prong to a customer unaware of the chip. Inspecting a loose diamond would help avoid that scenario. We personally see this practice as unethical and don't partake in it, but not all jewelers follow suit. Therefore, if you are buying a diamond that's already in the setting, I'd recommend inspecting the diamonds lab certificate or asking a trusted jeweler ahead of time in an effort to expose any hidden surprises that you might not have been aware of during purchase. Regarding the $$, lab grown diamonds are selling for a lot less compared to earth diamonds because it's less expensive for suppliers to obtain the end product by growing it compared to digging though thousands of tons of earth to extract the stone. The equipment and manpower needed to do that comes are a high cost which is passed down to the consumer. We usually don't put actual prices on our publicly shared video's (regardless of the type of item) because along with educating others, they are often made for specific customers who don't want their spouse or family members who might stumble across the video to know what they are spending. But if you'd like a quote on a specific item, you're welcome to contact sales@goodoldgold.com and we'll be happy to get back to you with an estimate.
Interestingly enough, most lab grown diamonds do have (impurities/inclusions). To the best of my knowledge, I don't believe they have figured out a way to make them all flawless as of yet.
Good question... Most people don't have a problem with faint fluorescence as long as it doesn't negatively impact the diamonds visual performance. Fluorescence can make a diamond look hazy, but that's only in about 2% of the diamonds with fluorescence. Therefore, if you do buy a diamond with fluorescence, I'd recommend putting your eye on it before committing to it to make sure you don't fall into that 2% category. If it's an online diamond, make sure it has return policies just to play it safe. If you're in the market for a diamond and need assistance, your welcome to contact us at sales@goodoldgold.com . We should be able to beat anyone's prices when matching apples to apples regarding quality!
It’s not even close the one on the right looks way better the one on the left has light leakage and you can see through guy the table. I would never get a very good cut diamond only ideal or super ideal (hearts and arrows).
Yes, the patter of light return is different, but both are very intense and brilliant. In my opinion, you can't go wrong with either option. It's just a matter of personal preference.
Yes, good call as it sure looks like it. The walls in our store are yellow, so that color often reflects into the diamonds making them look more yellow than they really are.
That's a good question. We made this video over 2 years ago and unfortunately, we didn't save the files on them. I would think they are pretty comparable though and both not far from the average LG Oval we see these days regarding cut quality & depth.
The diamond that's fire polished is on the left in the first scene, however it's on the right in the remainder of the video. It's the diamond with more rainbow-colored light reflections.
Good question. When referring to a Pear shaped diamond, most people would not consider this one to be crushed ice. The center has nice large facets that reflect the light and produce powerful flashes of light return. As you head toward the top and the bottom of the diamond however, you'll start to see more of that crushed ice look. But that's normal for Pear shaped diamonds. So although it's technically a mix of both, in order for the industry standard to label it as "crushed ice", you'd have to see less of the "mix" and instead more crushed ice going throughout the entire diamond.
Agreed and thanks for your input! The F color is on the left and the G color is on the right. I just labeled it below the video. Thanks again for your useful feedback! : )
