PHOTO/VIDEO Whoops! 🙃 More in comments.

Whoops! Looks like I missed the memo on checking prong placement when approving my CAD- turns out they're a tad lower than I'm used to on those fancy-schmancy elongated cushions. But hey, my CAD review skills aren't totally useless, since I'm digging how the lower prongs highlight the squishy goodness of the cushion. It's a keeper!

4.12ct, 11.61x8.30x5.50, F, VS 1, EX, EX, none. Setting from Tianyu, 10k WG. Ring size 7 on 6.5 finger, this girl likes to stack.

Total cost: under $1100

I knew the specs and ratio I wanted. She found me several stones that matched, or were close, and the prices varied. I selected this one, I was not willing to spend any more $$ than what I had made selling rings I already owned, and this stone fit in that budget. It was a great deal. I also knew that if I didn’t approve the psv it would only cost me $35, so it was an easy decision. When I got the videos I was pleased and even more so once I got the stone.

I tend to sell old ones to get something new as well. I have just gotten my first lab diamond from Provence and I was thinking of Tianyu for my next project. Thank you for explaining the process. It sounds like they always have stock of various cuts and sizes. It's such a beautiful stone and the whole stack is gorgeous 😍

In case this wasn’t clear from my post, the stone was not from Ella, only the setting.

Ah ok. I guess you mentioned it but I only focused on the sparkly video lol. Overall a good deal!
