I had wanted diamond studs for a long time – my favorite earrings -simple but always classic and elegant! Several years ago, I bought some very nice natural diamond classic studs around 1 carat each (4 prong white gold). I used them all the time: at home, work (I am a lawyer) and for events. But I realized that I wanted something bigger, I am a big person. Then, in celebration of important events in my life, I decided to upgrade my diamond studs.
At the beginning, I was looking for around 2 carats each, but good quality natural diamond studs of that size were way too expensive. Although I had the money, I was not going to spend all my savings in earrings, especially during these hard times. On the other hand, once in a while and if possible you should treat yourself – there should be a balance between saving, planning and enjoying life. My niece, who works with engagement rings, and had worked with both, very expensive natural diamonds and lab grown diamonds, suggested considering lab grown diamonds because they look alike: you could get a better quality bigger lab grown diamond (color and clarity) for much less. So, I decided for lab grown diamonds instead.
I called several places in NYC, where I live (I wanted to see the earrings), and chose Lab Diamond NY, LLC, a small family business which brings the stones from India. Mr. Chirag Gandhi, who has extensive experience with diamonds, gave me valuable and accurate information about lab grown diamonds and offered me to show me some options – the best quality possible within my budget. Who better than the owner to give you the best price?
I scheduled an appointment and met Chirag. My niece accompanied me because she was going to look at the stones with the special magnifying glass and help me choose. Chirag showed me several studs of different sizes within my budget. All of them were amazing! My niece was highly impressed with them. I tried them all, some more than once, I compared them over an over – Chirag was patient, he told me not to rush, but to take my time. He wanted to make sure that I chose the right one after waiting so long. Since the beginning, Chirag offered me to show me the earrings with no obligation to buy. He is very confident about his product and you can tell why. When I made the appointment I was not sure if I was going to buy anything that day but I did – I had been doing research for a long time and I knew that I was getting an exceptional product for the best price. I have received many compliments and most importantly, I got what I exactly wanted – the perfect size and exceptional, best quality within my budget – for much, much less than the equivalent natural diamonds.
I did not buy thinking about re-selling, I was buying to give myself something especial and to enjoy my earrings. And Chirag at Lab Diamond NY offered me precisely that – the perfect diamond studs for the best price. I saved a lot of money for the equivalent size and quality natural diamonds and the lab grown diamonds look the same. For me is about the looks and the price– if it is lab grown or natural, is irrelevant. My new lab grown diamond studs look much better than my real ones – even if I try to sell the real ones, I do not expect to get what I paid. So, if I decide to sell my lab grown diamond studs, maybe someone will consider buying them just like I did, because they are fantastic!
I already tried a beautiful Asscher cut diamond ring at Lab Diamond NY, LLC, which I am considering - I saved so much by choosing lab grown diamonds, that I might be able to get the ring as well. If you are looking for the most beautiful, best quality and price, lab grown diamonds or jewelry, Lab Diamond NY, LLC is the place!
Thank you Chirag! I wish you all the success that you...
Read moreWorking with Chirag Gandhi, the owner of Lab Diamond NY LLC, on my wife’s custom radiant cut engagement ring was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a jeweler. From start to finish, he went above and beyond in every possible way — not just in the quality of his craftsmanship, but in his professionalism, kindness, and genuine passion for what he does.
I originally found Chirag after doing extensive research on jewelers who specialize in custom radiant cut designs. His five-star reviews immediately stood out, and after working with him personally, I can confidently say he lives up to every single one of them.
From our very first conversation, Chirag was incredibly attentive, detail-oriented, and knowledgeable. I had a specific vision in mind for my wife’s ring — a bold yet timeless design featuring a radiant cut diamond in a clean, elegant solitaire setting crafted in solid 18K gold. Chirag listened carefully to every detail and guided me through the entire process with professionalism and patience. From stone selection to CAD renderings and proportions, he ensured that every element reflected exactly what I was envisioning.
The final result was nothing short of breathtaking. The radiant cut diamond he provided is absolutely stunning — icy white, exceptionally clear, and full of brilliance. The way it’s set allows the diamond to truly shine, and the craftsmanship on the setting itself was flawless — a super smooth polish, perfect prongs, and beautifully balanced proportions. The ring looks elegant and powerful all at once, with a presence that turns heads.
What made this experience even more exceptional was Chirag’s dedication to service, honesty, and transparency. He is someone you can truly trust, and that trust was felt throughout the entire process. He was always responsive and communicative, answering every question I had and keeping me informed every step of the way. His pricing is also extremely fair and truly the best in the industry. He helped me save a significant amount of money compared to what major retailers and other jewelers were charging — all without ever compromising on quality or attention to detail.
My wife is absolutely in love with the ring — it sparkles like crazy and fits her finger like it was made just for her (because it was!). Seeing how happy she was made the entire experience that much more special, and I owe that to Chirag’s outstanding work and genuine care.
If you’re looking for a jeweler who delivers not just beautiful results, but also honest pricing, expert-level craftsmanship, and an overall incredible customer experience — look no further than Chirag. I’m so grateful I found him, and I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. Thank you so much Chirag and Lab Diamond NY LLC — you truly made this one of the most meaningful purchases of my life, and I can confidently say I’ll never work with any other...
