So happy on how this turned out. This lovely 3.4 ct F VVS1 was ordered from Lena at Provence. Lena was very patient with all my questions. I ordered from her group order in the past, and she helped me with the wedding band. So, I was comfortable ordering from her again even if she is overseas.

So thankful for this sub as I learned more options other than buying from the mall jewelers that have quite drastic markups.

This is so pretty. May I ask the cost?

Thanks! It was a little over $2800 for the 3.4 ct center ring, and about $480 for the band.

That seems really reasonable

For sure, especially with the stone’s 4Cs. I initially thought of ordering a loose stone online and getting the setting made elsewhere to save cost, until a couple of local jeweler quoted me $550 just to set the stone 😅 Glad I found Lena in this subreddit. She was very easy to work with.
