If you’re shopping for diamonds online, you HAVE to watch this video first. It will prevent you from making A LOT OF MISTAKES! Also, watch till the end if you want to know how much money I spent on these 🤭
I bought my ring from you! I get compliments every time I wear it. The diamond is so white and sparkly. People also comment on how pretty the setting is. It is stunning!
When I first lost the stone in my wedding ring, I thought oh I’ll just get one online. I went through CZcams University to find the diamond 😂 I considered myself pretty informed about this purchase BUT it’s soooo hard to find the right diamond because you really need to see it AND you need to see how it looks with your wedding band, etc., so while waiting for my ring, I watched even more videos and found your channel. In the meantime, I searched out a local jeweler and found (well they found) the diamond of my dreams!! They showed me sooo many diamonds and when I wanted to see diamonds with certain ratios, they worked to bring those in so I could see them in person, both in store light and outside. I had a million questions and they he jeweler was so patient and provided options based on my style, preferences, budget, etc.! I returned the online ring once it arrived and I’m very happy with my ring I purchased from a local jeweler.
We worked with a jeweler out on the East Coast virtually. I’d tried on a few in person at a big-box store to be sure of the stone shape and size, sent him photos, and he took it from there. I also sketched plans of my setting (I’m unfortunately an engineer lol and did not want to leave structural integrity to chance) and he replicated my vision exactly. Pleasurable experience from start to finish.
Excellent video!!! Over a year later after choosing your business to create my ring I am SO 100% satisfied with my choice. I absolutely LOVE your expertise and it reflects that in the masterpiece you created!!! 🥰
Another great, informative video. I bought locally because I needed to be able to see what I was getting before I purchased. I also wanted to be able to take my rings in to be serviced and checked every six months without having to ship them off somewhere. I’d been stalking the online retailers comparing prices, but once I became educated about diamonds, that was a hard no for me. I researched for about a year before taking the plunge. I was able to select a much better quality lab diamond than I would’ve picked earlier in my shopping journey. I also discovered you have to try on rings. I always thought I hated marquise cuts, but I ended up with dainty, shared prong marquise bands sandwiching my princess pave ring. The contrast of shapes is absolutely gorgeous, and I constantly get compliments on it.
YESSSS Bonnie!!! This video is fantastic and I appreciate how you come at it as if you were just like us, then follow up with your expert experience. 10 outta 10! AND PLEASE continue to put your Style #'s when we get a flash look at your pieces, thank you!!
This was a great video Bonnie. I don’t understand how someone can purchase any diamond whether it be lab grown or natural, sight unseen !!! I have checked out those spinning videos the online sellers provide. Maybe it’s just me but I find it very hard to see the true sparkle of any diamond on those quick spinning videos. I went to a reputable jeweler in my area in person who curated my beautiful round diamond and also made my custom setting around my particular diamond. I was able to see my diamond next to other diamonds to see in person that it had maximum sparkle, and no weird color tinges. Mine is an H color, near colorless diamond and was put next to a colorless diamond. I know colorless is more desirable for most buyers, but my near colorless had more sparkle than the colorless it was put next too because the colorless was not excellent cut like mine, it was only a good cut diamond. I also asked to see my diamond outside in outdoor/indoor regular lighting, outside of the fancy jewelry store lighting . I think it’s soooooo important to ask for that and take it out of the jewelry store where they have such amazing lighting , even a poor cut, poor color diamond will look beautiful under professional lighting. I’ve always been a true believer in you get what you pay for. It’s very possible that you may end up with a beautiful diamond buying on line but it’s possible that you won’t. A 50/50 chance was just not good enough for me, especially when it came to such an expensive purchase. I am literally mesmerized when I look at all of your rings that you show. I love my ring still til this day even 12 years later, I still look down and stare at it every day. However if I had known about you 12 years ago, I would have absolutely gone to you. Having a jeweler that cares so much about their clients and their happiness and who is honest, is truly priceless !! ❤❤
OMG! Thank you for sharing the details of your experience! I am so glad to hear that after so many years, you're still loving your ring. I appreciate your sweet kind words. ENJOY YOUR SPARKLES! :)
@@ByBonnieJewelry yes I do still love my custom setting however, I’m pretty sure I’ve said this in another comment before I chose to have it set, which is not some thing I would have chose today and if you still set diamonds from other jewelers into your settings, I may have really thought about having my diamond reset by you into one of your absolutely beautiful custom settings, the jeweler who helped me curate my diamond and did my custom setting has since retired to Florida but I totally understand why you don’t it makes sense. My jeweler who designed my setting and helped curate my diamond also did not set diamonds from other places that he didn’t curate himself for all the very same reasons that you don’t❤❤
Great video but if you’re going to compare, wouldn’t you want to compared apple to apple? Of course the G color will look duller than the F color.. it would be good to see if you can put your curated diamond next to these two but of course you have to have all in the same colors and clarity to be fair.. 😊
I wanted to get the most requested shape and qualities with different companies just to see a variety. But i'll keep that in mind for the next video! :) Thank you for watching.
I was expecting to see two similar stones also. And I would’ve loved to see a round By Bonnie stone for comparison. But we already know the curation is unmatched!
Bonnie, I TOTALLY understand your reason for not accepting other company stones to be set in your designs. I think the liability would be tricky and if somebody goes to the trouble of saving money for a ring, they should consider buying a setting from the person they would buy the stone from.
This is exactly why I opted to NOT order a diamond myself online. Instead I went to a store, told them what I wanted and they helped to pick and curate the diamond. Ended up going with their recommendation and couldn't be happier with the diamond and the price. Added bonus they also do custom settings to get exactly what we wanted the ring to look like!
There’s a lot that’s being missed here. I love Bonnie for many reasons and I’ve learned so much from her, but this video is purposely leaving out the fact that you can easily find the GIA/ IGI reports online before purchasing the diamonds and know whether or not there are any inclusions. You can even filter further when looking for the perfect stone, and look beyond the 4Cs - know exactly what you’re getting in terms of depth, table, polish, symmetry etc. Disappointing that all this information was left out, because once you use these filters and find what you actually want, you’ll never have these issues. A lot of these companies will also do FaceTime calls with you (if you aren’t in the area) and show you the diamonds they have in stock in different lighting.
The certificates don’t actually disclose if there are any colour tinges to a stone (nor or they required to). So the grey/green/brown in the oval, and the blue in the round would not have been included in the certificates.
@@Thu-fo6fpyou are correct but this is why I mentioned a video call with these companies. Many of them offer this service and you can build a relationship with someone you will grow to trust. There are companies that hold no on-site stock and share the same inventory as many others. They wait to receive the stone until the customer places the order. While they do have a decent return policy, even the reps at these places don’t know if the stones have a blue/ brown tinge. However, very many of these online companies do have HQ locations in NYC, with actual offices you can visit or at least have video calls with. These offices do stock a lot of these stones onsite so you know what you’re buying before placing the order.
@@Thu-fo6fp I think my response was deleted on here, so I am posting again for those who want further info. You are absolutely correct about the tinges not being notated on the certs and the tinges come from the method of production. However, once you establish a good relationship with the seller, you know who to trust. This is why I mentioned doing a FaceTime call or even going onsite (when possible) to see the stone itself. There are a number of sellers that share the inventory- these are ones to stay away from. However, a lot of sellers are local in the NY diamond district and are happy to show you the inventory they have on hand via FaceTime, under different lighting (fluorescent, natural, yellow etc) so you know exactly what you are buying before you put down a deposit. The sellers that don’t have the inventory on hand will also tell you that upfront - they will first require you to buy and then they will order the stone for you from an offsite location. It’s definitely risky, but these usually come with a decent return policy if you read in advance and ask the right questions.
Our jeweler is ~local (an hour away). My husband didn’t see the diamond or ring in person at all. He was able to customize & choose all his requirements online. We are incredibly happy with his decision. We also bought my wedding band from a separate an east coast jeweler (we’re in the west coast) & were happy it matched my engagement ring well.
I bought a 1.2 ct promise ring from an online retailer then a 4.8 ct engagement from the same online retailer and paid a great price compared to others who offer the same diamond marked up triple even 4 times more. All looked well for both under all lighting. Glad I went with them but do a lot of research before going any route because in a jewelry store a diamond can look way different in other lighting.
Would love your take on Jann Paul diamonds specifically. They would not let me buy a lab grown diamond unless I did a video call to get a live inspection of the diamond. Plus I would like to hear your thoughts on their fancy shapes that are innovative- Both exciting, but also potentially scary to a buyer who is uninformed.
I bought years ago from a large chain. Online wasn't an option, and I truly didn't know a lot about local jewelers. Wished I had gone with someone like you.🥰
That's totally ok! As long as you love your ring that's all that matters. A lot has changed in the jewelry industry in the last decade. Now people have more choices and places to choose from! Thank you for your sweet kind words, keep watching my videos! :)
You get what you pay for…yes, finally. Luxury is a State of Mind. One customer’s life changing experience is another customer’s trip to a display case, at Sam’s Club. Now for the bad news…jewelers need foot traffic. When jewelers turn down work, like custom settings and simple solitaire mounting, for LGDs bought online , they are sending people to their competition. Flat fee it, Bonnie. Flat fee it.
I bought my lab diamond HPHT type 2a from a jeweler in Singapore. They do their cutting of the diamond but have a close relationship with the grower. My diamond is a D-color and IF and graded by GCAL. It has their 8X certification 😊😊 Nova
We didnt buy online ourselves, but my bf found a natural diamond online, (IF, G color, 3ex, cutting score 95, non fluoresce), and asked the local jeweler (at sf jewelry center) to get it and make the ring which is designed by my bf.
There are a lot of diamonds that are going to fail to pass the jeweler's requirements. That is why there are online sales 🤣 I wouldn't mind having the-less-than-perfect diamonds in jewelry that wasn't engagement, provided there was nothing noticeable to the naked eye!
This video does not seem like a fair comparison. I would like to see the same cut between a loose stone that you "curate" vs the two stones from online with the exact "same" specifactions. She didnt even show hers compared to the online ones. Same cut, same carat, same clarity etc. Easy to bash and make yourself sound great. At the end of the day shes a salesperson.
oh god, ew 😅 the oval one looked like a turd from the start, and then once you flipped them over, you can see the biiig inclusions in the round one. as crappy as they are, i guess i can see why people buy diamonds from places like that - most people don't understand gemstones at all, they just want a big, shiny rock, and if they can get a stone that big for a price that low, they're happy. most people can't actually see the inclusions, not tell the difference between tints, and even if they can then it doesn't both them because it's a big diamond. i couldn't even bring myself to set 1.5mm stones from a supplier that has more inclusions in the stones, you can really see it, but when i show other beginner jewellers, they don't see it at all and don't care. sad times...
but also, thank you for making this video - educational videos where you show stones to compare them, are really great for those who aren't in the business. i showed people the difference between really terrible commercial cut gems and precision cut gems, and was really surprised at how interesting people found them, so i'd love to see more content like this from you. windows in stones is another things that's hard to explain unless you show people examples of how it should and shouldn't be.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights!! It's so true that understanding the nuances of diamonds/gemstones can be challenging for those not in the industry. I am so glad you found the video educational and appreciate your support in helping others understand the differences in gemstone quality. It's always rewarding to see people gain a deeper appreciation for the art of jewelry making. I will definitely consider creating more content on those topics you mentioned! I truly appreciate your feedback and for being a part of our community!
I was not impressed with this video. First they where lab grown diamonds and not real ones. Second you don’t really do a comparison by choosing two different shapes and two different grades. Third you don’t say whats wrong. Sorry Bonnie, I learned a lot about diamonds from you but this does not speak to me!

good one, I definitely prefer your longer videos. The longer the better! Also a different topic, liked that

Thank you for understanding 💖
Worked with a jeweler from Canada. We trusted his judgement with the stone. We ended up being happy with it.
Learning so much from your videos as just a passionate consumer. 🤩
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it🥰

So you don't set online stones. Fair. What about resetting an heirloom stone or just repurposing the stones in jewelry they already have?
You get what you pay for…yes, finally.

Flat fee it, Bonnie. Flat fee it.
And maybe you can offer certain settings only to be used for people who want to set a loose stone.
The round looks very good, I actually like the blue. I have nothing nice to say about the oval, ha ha!!!
The round looks nice the oval is awful gray and dull
Have you done a Zales review?
I kind of like the slight blue tint
Round looks nice, oval looks not so nice, weird color.
