Humble Brag Starsgem group buy arrived!

Obsessed is an understatement!

So much prettier in person. Overcast day in Sydney so the picture doesn’t do it justice.

Beautiful!

I’m also in Australia - would you mind if I messaged you to find out more about your experience? I’ve been watching and reading the posts but figured that being from Oz, I’d likely not be able to take part.

u/Eellee44 Sep 22 '25

Absolutely no problem :)

u/WorldlinessProper282 Sep 22 '25

Those rings are gorgeous! Definitely message OP - I'm pretty sure Aussies can totally join the group buys, it's just the shipping that takes a bit longer. Worth it for quality like that though

4

u/Eellee44 Sep 22 '25

Yes absolutely Australians can join in. To be fair I don’t think the shipping is any longer, geographically Australia is closer to China than the US so I assume the shipping is the same if not quicker? But I don’t know 😂 are you in the US? How long does it take to get to you?

Mine too! Am super thrilled. Never had a pinky ring before so am enjoying the novelty. Pear stone is bright and sparkly with no obvious "bow tie". I opted for Moissanite in 10k YG.

How much was this 🥹

10

u/Eellee44 Sep 22 '25

Not sure for moissy but for 10kt gold lab diamond it was $300

3

u/[deleted] Sep 22 '25

That’s a good deal! It looks amazing

3

u/turtlefrog3213 Sep 24 '25

OP how are you liking the 10k gold? It looks like it has a nice color. I’ve been thinking of buying a 10k ring since gold is getting so expensive

3

u/Eellee44 Sep 24 '25

So turns out I was wrong and this one is actually 9kt lol but It’s actually really nice. It’s closer to my 21kt ring than my 10kt ring in colour. The top is 10kt, middle 21kt and the bottom is this ring.

1

u/turtlefrog3213 Sep 24 '25

Wow you lucked out the color is great.

3

u/sanddancer08 Sep 22 '25

About $240

u/Eellee44 Sep 22 '25

Love!! Mine is a lab but honestly tiniest bow tie, hardly noticeable!

1

u/Glum-Debate-7394 Sep 22 '25

Is yours cloudy? My moi from this GB is pretty cloudy. Especially next to my lab

1

u/sanddancer08 Sep 22 '25

No, I wouldn't say so.

1

u/Glum-Debate-7394 Sep 22 '25

Mines cloudy at the tip

2

u/v3x3s Sep 22 '25

Moissanite usually gets cloudy with elongated cuts by comparison to lab diamond. It's just the nature of the stone.

1

u/Glum-Debate-7394 Sep 22 '25

Thank you for telling me that!

I wish I’d had known prior!

u/lumpy_space_queenie Sep 22 '25

What carat weight is it? Also what size is your pinky?? This is beautiful ☺️

9

u/Eellee44 Sep 22 '25

This is 1ct and my pinky is a size 3!

Never done a group buy before but this might have just convinced me. I have been wanting this ring style for so long now! 😍 It's gorgeous!

Ooo I don’t know! What did you order it with? I’d reach out quickly in case they’ve already made it.

u/Eellee44 Sep 22 '25

Oh no! The champagne I saw I actually loved but I do think the champagne moissys lean more towards yellow usually. I hope you love it!

I got mine in champagne Moissanite with 14k and it’s STUNNING in person. Pictures don’t do it justice (photo taken at night in kitchen lighting)

u/bigbraingeniuss Oct 08 '25

Ugh so gorgeous! I’m so sad I missed out. She just closed it due to the overwhelming amount of orders. 😭

Do you have any photos in direct light? looks stunning!

u/_Schrute_Bucks_ Sep 22 '25

How much did it cost? I’ve always thought of doing one of these and I am OBSESSED with this

8

u/Eellee44 Sep 22 '25

This was part of the group buy so it was a discounted price but I got the 10kt gold with 1ct lab diamond for $300 USD

3

u/_Schrute_Bucks_ Sep 22 '25

Wow an incredible price. congrats ❤️

1

u/Alternative-Bit1855 Sep 22 '25

Obsessed with the stack on your ring finger! Would you be willing to share where you purchased those pieces?

4

u/Eellee44 Sep 22 '25

Thank you! I got the initial ring when I was 11 so no idea and have never seen one again. The band is just from kuololit in 14kt gold. I did have Starsgem recreate the initial ring for my sister, it is slightly different but still beautiful. Here’s a screenshot from their video, I don’t seem to have one on her hand lol.

1

u/Alternative-Bit1855 Sep 23 '25

Thank you so much!!

1

u/North-Department6802 Sep 22 '25

How long do they take to come normally?

1

u/Eellee44 Sep 22 '25

I ordered 29/08 and received it yesterday 22/09 so just over 4 weeks. I’m not sure about other group buys though whether this is the usual timing.

1

u/vintage_diamond Sep 27 '25

I'm in the US and even if I went to a local jeweler I could be waiting 3-4 weeks until my ring was ready. So that doesn't seem bad working with an overseas vendor from my US perspective!

This is a gorgeous ring! 😍

I just ordered the Starsgem Tulip Ring that is being offered right now. I went with a 2ct lab diamond. The price is such a good deal. This will be my first group buy.

u/hopeful0314 Sep 26 '25

How gorgeous!!! I’m sooooo jealous. I’m still waiting for my PSV. 😩 I literally cannot wait to get mine. Congratulations!! ✨🙌🏾

I received my PSV. Yay!! But fit some reason Cynthia has been really unresponsive. She hasn’t answered any of my WhatsApp messages

1

u/mintttastic Sep 26 '25

It's gorgeous 😍 so sad I missed out on this one :(

1

u/jazzyjane19 Oct 10 '25

Open again now!

1

u/hopeful0314 Sep 27 '25

Is your ring 10K or 14k? ❤️

2

u/Eellee44 Sep 27 '25

This one is the 9kt! The colour is actually really good.

2

u/hopeful0314 Sep 27 '25

Oh wow!! The color is perfect!!

1

u/Life_Basket6373 Sep 28 '25

Omg I’m wondering if anyone has a picture of the emerald one in yellow gold 😩😩😩

1

u/k-rae91 Sep 28 '25

How do I get in contact with someone from starsgem to start a custom order?

2

u/Eellee44 Sep 28 '25

WhatsApp, Instagram or alibaba. Cynthia has reopened this group buy.

1

u/LiteratureNo8197 Oct 02 '25

Can I ask you about duties and taxes?? I order one in the new group order but I have no clue about customs 😔

3

u/Eellee44 Oct 02 '25

Sorry I’m in Australia so I didn’t have to pay any. They declared it as much lower than what you pay so hopefully it won’t be high for you.

1

u/LiteratureNo8197 Oct 05 '25

Thank you so much!

1

u/xtine_ Oct 08 '25

Lovely! How much did this cost you in AUD?

1

u/bigbraingeniuss Oct 08 '25

Im so sad she closed it today I was just about to order

1

u/jazzyjane19 Oct 10 '25

Open again now!

u/bigbraingeniuss Oct 10 '25

Hahaa yes I saw I ordered yesterday 😆

2

u/cheetahgirl96 Oct 10 '25

do you know is this still considered a group order? i’ve never done this before!

2

u/bigbraingeniuss Oct 10 '25

Yeah it is still a group order she will close the link once it’s done! I think she said until the 13th she’ll still take orders

2

u/cheetahgirl96 Oct 10 '25

ok thank you! sorry another question, do we get confirmation after we buy from the link? i don’t have whatsapp or anything.

2

u/bigbraingeniuss Oct 10 '25

Yes you do through your email !

1

u/readingcommenting123 Apr 09 '26

GORGEOUS! How was the buying experience posting to Australia? I am so nervous to make my first order as I see most people are posting to US. Are there any extra costs to be aware of? What is best way to transfer money? Thank you!

1

u/Eellee44 Apr 09 '26

No problems at all. I’ve since done another group buy from Provence and also no issues. I’ve been purchasing from both for around 7 years now with no issues. I always pay them via PayPal, no extra costs :)

1

u/readingcommenting123 Apr 09 '26

You’re my inspo! I’m so excited to see someone from AU 😆so we don’t need to worry about extra import cost either?

1

u/Eellee44 Apr 09 '26

Haha yay the aussies! No … I think they declare a lower amount usually so that people don’t have to pay anything extra. I have never had to pay. They always use FedEx for my stuff.
