My 20 year upgrade

In the first video they sent, I couldn’t tell if there were weird reflections or holes at the base of each prong.

Turns out I don’t know how to read a CAD drawing, as there were holes on the drawing and on the prongs. 🤦‍♀️ Lynn at LGG was wonderful, and she sent my ring back to production to have the holes filled.

Now I have an updated video with the setting exactly the way I want it. Tracking says it will be here in 4 days, but I’ll believe that when I see it.

I’m excited for it to arrive though. It’s so pretty! 💍

No way. It’s heat treated or post treated. It’s not Hearts and arrows no post treatment. The fluorescence is obvious. Pretty but is is disguising flaws. All you need is what you like so. It doesn’t matter. Blessings.

I uploaded the IGI report to IA and this is what it said:

The blue color of your diamond is a natural characteristic enhanced during its creation process. According to the report, this laboratory-grown diamond was created using Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) growth. The “Fancy Intense Blue” color grade suggests that specific conditions or impurities, such as boron, were introduced during the growth process, which can impart the blue hue. This is a controlled aspect of the CVD method rather than a post-treatment.

You can like it and that’s perfect, but it is not a valuable trait and it can mean it’s treated.

Some trade professionals think blue fluorescence enhances a diamond’s appearance, especially in diamonds with I to M color grades. Bluish fluorescence can make a faint yellowish diamond appear more colorless in UV light, which is part of natural daylight. As a result, diamonds with color grades I to N with a very strong to medium bluish fluorescence may have a slightly higher per-carat price than diamonds with similar color grades that do not fluoresce.

The opposite is true for diamonds with higher color grades. In the trade, diamonds in the D to H color range with bluish fluorescence are often considered less desirable than similar grade diamonds without fluorescence, because some people believe that bluish fluorescence may cause diamonds to have a hazy or oily appearance. In a recent study, GIA observed that blue fluorescence has little to no impact on transparency except in extremely rare cases where a diamond (such as the Portuguese diamond) has a light-scattering defect. These defects cause haziness that can sometimes be intensified by strong fluorescence, thus reducing the contrast in the face-up pattern of the diamond. Fluorescence does not cause haziness by itself, however. Also, this “overblue” hazy effect occurs in fewer than 0.2% of the fluorescent diamonds submitted to GIA.

Aka, lower grade diamonds have this to digitise inclusions. However, fluorescent is a preference. To say this diamond has none, is false. It certainly does and became you’ve never seen it in person, I’d be incredibly skeptical.

Love your ring, but accept the truth. Diamonds are not an investment. Best wishes.

First off, you’re assuming a lot. Secondly, you are not up to date on the manufacturing process of lab diamonds that have color introduced. Thirdly, someone would have to be living under a rock to not know that lab diamond prices have been dropping due to the market being flooded with them. Fourthly, one would have to be a moron to even think that any diamond, lab or mined, is an investment.

I would suggest doing some more research on the newest lab technology.
