Lab grown aren't really worth it unless your buying big diamonds like 1 carat solid pieces the smallest lab grown I've found is .3ct each and cost a few hundred for watches and most pendants you'd be using either .01 or .02 which can cost $6-$12 depending on supplier

So besides paying through PayPal, can you pay through a debit card as well? I seen it on the video that that was another option.

[@craig9565]

Awesome videos man. Just a quick question, I noticed that some 3d renderings call for some very specific diamond sizing. Like several at 1.3mm, several at 1.7 etc etc. When buying in bulk, do you make bulk orders of all these sizes? Seems like it would add up a lot.

[@anthonytumadre61]

Yes but alot of jewelers make multiple of the same piece for customers to buy not every piece is custom with someone's exact design sort of like when u go to a helzberg diamonds they have multiple of the same rings etc

[@bryongomez8517]

Iight so I made the 1st rule mistake and got my diamonds based on the sizes on the 3DM , my ring did shrink a little under 1mm so that means the holes probably shrank as well right , so is there any markets to sell small amounts of loose diamonds if these diamonds are now too big ?
