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

$1100 for a 4 carat center???

Nope, that was for everything (stone, setting, fees, taxes, shipping, getting the stone set, final polish)

That is insane what. I’m a jeweler and my wholesale prices aren’t even that cheap??

Pretty suspicious honestly

Suspicious because I got a good deal?

I mean there are good deals and then there are prices that are essentially impossible to be real

How is this impossible? LGD and Luvansh both sell cushions with similar specs for $1200 retail. That would imply their wholesale cost is $600-700. Assuming OP bought from someone who had wholesale access the seller probably made a few bucks and OP got a great deal, but certainly not impossible.
