anyone got recommend which shop to go for lab grown diamonds? visited Micheal Trio recently already. would like to look around more

I suggest going for JP's diamond education session then looking around. They will teach you all you need to know about diamonds including lab growns and all the jewellers tricks. Alot of lab growns have stria issues that jewellers dont want to talk about. And they're mostly certified by IGI which is not as reliable as GIA and AGS.

Didn't know JP sells lab grown!
Recently purchased a half eternity wedding band and the salesperson kept promoting the lab grown diamonds, price difference about $450
in the end went with natural diamond
still not sure if I made the right choice :/
cos salesperson keep saying lab grown and natural diamonds are exactly the same just the origin...

not sure if all the rings are going to be on JPxMiyabi YouTube/Facebook live? or selective ones? how to be on the live?

Can request for them to take videos or photos for your ring making. Just need to tell the diamond specialist. I know can also request for these kind of nice crafting video scenes but they will need longer time to make it.



Or can ask them to take crafting photos something like too which is faster. You can ask them for it and they can do it FOC. Only thing is that they will need more time to make your ring but I think it's well worth the wait to get them.

if the lab grown aren't made properly, there may be some strain stria issues. thats what JP explained to me. And JP only sell lab grown with AGS cert not IGI cert. they also said theirs won't be stria issues as they take longer time to make. That's what I understood. but since you already purchased, it's fine, dont worry too much!

Overall, the white series decagon diamond are one of the best light performing diamond.
However, the crown angle exceed >35 which is on the steeper side.
You can double check with the scope image to be more assured.

From what I know, the >35 crown only applies to those 57 facets with 8 hearts and arrows. Those other shapes or cuts like the decagon, cushion, round10, etc. have a different set of ideal proportions. So best is just to use the scopes.

Because the diamond seems to be of a deeper cut, not sure if compare to other will it be affecting the performance

Wow. First time seeing a lab grown AGS cert.
can I check how long did you wait for your diamond to be cut ?
Hmmm I didn’t have to wait, the just nice got a ready one and ask me if I’ll like to have it. But what they mention it’s 3months. So basically they don’t buy from ppl that grow thenm, they have a specific person they appointed to grow. So basically you’ll get the top tier

You so lucky! I went to JP and saw their white series. It literally look very white and bright when they brought it outdoors for me to see. It was 6pm+ when its dimish cloudy daylight and the diamond was still very bright. I saw they had very little white series stock left.. all need to custom cut. Lab growns I saw they left with 2 pieces in 1ct and naturals they have less than 10 pieces for the decagon. I'm still deciding if I should go natural or lab grown.. Either option needs abt 3 months to custom order so timeline is the same.

I must say their lab growns are top tier. No brown hue, stria issue and AGS cert. I went to Ion jewelry street to compare and the lab growns there are more expensive than JP. Summore their cut is not as good as the white series and IGI certs. Wonder how they can sell those.. I think people who buy from them probably don't know about JP 😂

I'm tempted to get the white series decagon lab grown.. just don't know if my gf will really prefer natural or lab growns. Anyone brought their gf for JP's education? Might be easier for JP to explain the difference to her than me.

I brought.My budget was 1ct decagon/10H&A , surprisingly for practical reasons, she chose 0.68ct SIC.
