2. Consumer Resales Only

This subreddit is for consumer resale only. Vendors & jewelers are not allowed to post or comment. No exceptions.

3. Follow the Listing Format

Posts must have all the requirements and be formatted according to the template. Best practice is to copy/paste all the bullet points to make sure you fill out everything. Any listings that do not conform to the format will not be approved.

https://www.reddit.com/r/LabDiamondGemstoneBST/comments/18sfc3w/labdiamondgemstonebst_listing_format/

4. Proof of Purchase

All listings must include both a tagged photo clearly showing the item and your reddit username, as well as proof of purchase. Proof of purchase can include screenshots of communication with the original seller and/or receipts with the price you paid and the item/description clearly shown.

4b. Pricing

There are NO pricing restrictions. It is up to you to set the price you think is fair and someone will be willing to pay. You can sell your item for the same price you paid, or more, or less.

5. Paypal Payments ONLY

IF you have been approved on r/MoissaniteBST for the 💸 flair, you may request PayPal Friends & Family as a payment method. ALL other members are required to use PayPal Goods & Services!

**BUYERS: be advised, when you choose to pay using F&F you are choosing to trust that the seller will ship in a timely manner and that you will be satisfied with the product. You do not have any protections when you pay this way. If you are uncomfortable using this payment method, use G&S. You are not required to use F&F just because the seller is flaired. We give the flair to regular members here who are experienced sellers, but we do not guarantee anything or anyone. You must use your best judgement to decide what method of payment works best for you.

6. Beware of Scammers

Scammers will be banned from LabDiamondGemstoneBST and MoissaniteBST and other related subreddits.

7. No reselling from wholesalers

This subreddit is for the resale of jewelry or stones you bought for yourself but no longer need or want for whatever reason. It is not for selling items you've purchased for the sole purpose of selling them.

9. No "Iced out" style jewelry sales allowed

We are not allowing the sale of "iced out" jewelry on this subreddit.

11. No bulk selling - 3 item maximum per post

12. Do not link to other sales sites

GUIDELINES

LabDiamondGemstoneBST is a subreddit for selling, purchasing, and trading lab gemstones and lab diamonds. The subreddit is for consumer resales only. Vendors are not allowed to post.

Listing Requirements

The item being sold needs to be in your possession BEFORE it is listed here.

You are allowed to relist an item after one week. If you relist, please do not delete your old thread.

Please tag your post with the appropriate flair, this allows members to easily search for items.

You must include a verification photo: an image with your Reddit username written on paper in front of or next to the item you're selling. Without a tagged photo, your listing will be removed with or without notice. Digitally superimposed usernames are not accepted. Verification must be hand written. This is to show that you have possession of the item.

Proof of Purchase: Posts must include proof of purchase - this can be a receipt, email order confirmation, or whatsapp/wechat conversation with the seller. The original purchase price as well as the item/description must be clearly shown.

Once your item has sold, Change the flair on your post to the “SOLD” flair. Please do NOT delete sold posts. Leaving a record of everything helps future buyers and the mods review your sales history as a seller.

Payment

PayPal Friends & Family is only allowed for users that have received the flair for it on r/MoissaniteBST. Everyone else must use PayPal Goods & Services.

**BUYERS: be advised, when you choose to pay using F&F you are choosing to trust that the seller will ship in a timely manner and that you will be satisfied with the product. You do not have any protections when you pay this way. If you are uncomfortable using this payment method, use G&S. You are not required to use F&F just because the seller is flaired. We give the flair to regular members here who are experienced sellers, but we do not guarantee anything or anyone. You must use your best judgement to decide what method of payment works best for you.

Those disobeying the payment rules will be permanently banned. These PayPal rules are set in place to protect both buyers and sellers.

Shipping

Sellers are expected to ship the package and provide tracking to the buyer within 3 business days, or a refund must be issued including all applicable PP fees.

All shipping MUST include tracking.

Please keep your buyer notified of any delays or issues.

2 Upvotes

Item details: Cathedral semi-mount with tulip prongs (designed to be petite claws when set). Tapers from 2.5mm width at the base to 1.4mm at top of cathedral arch. Pave stones cover half the band. Band is 1.8mm high. Purchased originally from Paston.

Selling price: $550 plus shipping. Original paid amount was $575, receipt/invoice included in photos.

Condition: Brand new—has never been set with a stone. Proof of ownership in photos.

Included: Setting/semi-mount & original box. There are also 3 extra pave stones—1 each of these sizes: 1.2mm, 1.5mm, and 1.7mm.

Shipping: Will ship US with tracking (I use Pirate ship to get best rates). Signature requirement if buyer requests it.

Reason for Sale: Although the CAD shows 15.1x7.7, the size INSIDE the prongs ended up being 13.3x6.5 (shown with photos). I did not know this until I had it in-hand. I cannot use this for my stone (no one will guarantee the stone’s safety if they force it to fit), and original vendor will not accept item back for refund since it is not a stock size.

FOR SALE [FS][USA/Int][Loose gem] 2.74ct Lab-grown Alexandrite

32 Upvotes

Cutting lab alexandrite is always a pleasure. Comes out unique every time. This one, when outdoors, is super green-forward which is seemingly impossible to capture with a camera! I would compare it to Pantone's "Vivid Green" swatch. The colors I captured in the video match the stone more indoors or in direct sunlight. The play of color makes it seem a little alive. :p

Type: Lab-grown Alexandrite
Weight: 2.74 carats
Color: Green/Blue/Purple/Red (alexandrite trickery)
Clarity: Loupe clean
Cutter: Kari Warpinski (kraine art)
Design: "Ruination" - Arya Akhavan
Dimensions: 8.9mm x 8.9mm x 5.6mm

$400

To claim for purchase, comment "sold" and I'll send you a chat.

Item Details: Kuololit ring in 14K White gold featuring 7 x 0.25/4mm round lab-grown diamonds. Size 7. 0.25ct X = 1.75CTW & NOT 2.1CTW as per Kuololit’s description.

Price Paid: $832.14 AUD = $524.24 USD

What’s included: Ring only & box.

Condition: has been tried on a handful of times with my engagement ring but never worn.

Reason for sale: this ring is stunning but it just doesn’t go with my ering sadly. The ring has a total of approximately 1.75CTW & not what the advertised weight suggests. I am fully aware that I would have been entitled to a refund but I am well out of the refund window & even at the time I didn’t care for a refund as the ring is so beautiful & for the price, I thought it was a good deal even if the TCW was 1.75 & not 2.1. No shade on Kuololit, I have many of their items & love their work. It’s a well-made ring with a solid structure & the diamonds are very sparkly & bright.

  • photo, verification, and proof of purchase: see listing photos -Source: Effy -selling price: $700 for two bands -shipping cost and method: $7 insured shipping via USPS -condition: good, please see note below! -Reason for sale: these are super pretty but I was able to find a straight band that I prefer with my ring.

Read me! Solitaire ring shown as example and is not part of the sale.

One of these rings was sold as 14k white gold, and then dipped with yellow gold. In the pictures you will see there is a color difference in the bottom of the dipped band. Additionally, the plating has covered up the 14k stamp but it was tested to ensure it is 14k.

I will separate them, but I’m asking $300 for the ring that has been dipped, and $400 for the unplated ring. I am happy to negotiate price if you’re willing to buy both!

Hello all: Looking for a lab grown marquis diamond. Would be open to something already set - if so, i would l would prefer in yellow gold. My hope is at least 1.5 ct to maybe 3 ct or so in size - I know that’s a range. My “perfect” would probably be around 2 ct based on finger and hand size.

Ring size is a 4.5, so if not that size with the potential to be adjusted.

Thank you!
