@quietly.emily: So I bought a 4 carat lab grown diamond on a TikTok live auction, took it to my jeweler and got the FULL rundown on what I actually bought, what it’s worth, and how much it’s going to cost me to set it. Sharing everything because I had approximately 900 questions going into this lol #LabGrownDiamond #DiamondTok #TikTokShop #JewelryTok #LabDiamond
I just bought a 2.09 carat E color vs2 Asscher cut diamond from auction for $245. It seemed like an ok deal but I’ve also never bought one before. Thoughts anyone?

Girl I saw someone pay $400 for a 2ct 😳 I immediately commented in the live that they just got screwed and shouldn’t pay more than $100/ct and got blocked by the livestream account😭

Try Etsy for a setting. 2k for a setting is crazy!

100% correct (as jewelers they are costing us about $80 per ct for top quality in these larger size ranges) smaller ones are less - all excellent points and solid advice 👌

Don’t listen to the people telling u that 2k is too much for a thick bezel set gold ring… that’s absolutely a fair price

your jeweler is a natural diamond mindset. in my opinion they are very wrong about the color advice for lab

Mine is a cathedral setting with Lily of the valley engravings all the way around the band single diamond bridge in a lotus basket and quarter basil was six prongs in 14k gold for only $850. Took it to all get mounted for $112 Total $1,086

Randolph Co Jewelers :
You definitely overpaid for the setting but also very few people including me who buys 300-500 stones per month are paying $100/ct. I frequently pay over $100 as a wholesaler who buys in bulk. I definitely wouldn't pay over $150-200/ct and that's what most jewelers are paying and then they mark it up 300%

I don’t think ppl realize bezel settings and a thicker band will cost more. It’s not a cheap setting to begin with. I think $2k is a fair price!

there are like 2-3 auctions i know that literally price lab grown diamonds $400-$500 for 2-3 carats. people feed into them because the auctioneers call the audience “honey” or “love” 24/7

I wouldn’t say the $100 a carat applies to all diamonds , i got a 3.34 old mine cushion cut for $470 and that was a steal cuz its clarity VVS2 color D and its elongated , so it really depends not all diamonds are created equal

Rachel Sarah :
Just wanna clarify that the $100 per carat is also heavily dependent on the stats of the stone and also the color. Certain stones, shapes, and colors will run closer to $200 per carat. But on average you shouldn’t spend more than $100-$200 per carat ever.
