I learned so much from this subreddit I thought I’d return and leave a review of my experience to help future shoppers!

When I first got engaged 10 years ago ago, we didn’t know about lab diamonds. My original ring is from James Allen, but it had to be cut off due to a horrible swelling event over the summer 😩

My husband and I recently found out about lab diamonds and thought this was the best decision for us. I could get a larger, new ring, at a fraction of the cost of what he paid the first time around.

I knew I wanted a round (same as my original), but this time, I was switching it up from a thin halo setting (hey, they were all the rage 10 years ago) to a thin pave band.

After doing tons of research, and thanks for the reviews on here, I went with Fiorese. I worked with Matthew via IG and it was seamless. I messaged him on 12/4 and received my ring on 1/2.

I gave him the parameters for a round for optimal fire, brilliance, etc and he absolutely delivered. I ended up with a 3.76 E VVS2. It’s SO white, crisp, and the sparkle factor is 🤩.

I went with a size 5 2mm pave band with hidden halo and 4 claw prongs.

Matthew was so patient and answered all of my questions in a timely manner.

I have many more future projects and will definitely be returning to Fiorese!

I had to delete my prior thread because the video quality was so bad
