That fire! It’s gorgeous
Thank you! It was hard to capture. That was what was really unexpected for me. And the size of the stones is perfect for me, not too tiny (I would say not too big, but come on, diamond are never too big!). These stones were cut really really well, too. I think better or equal to VS2 and I, but I'm hoping they are VS1's. I have to thank @Onebagtoomany for the inspiration, who got one first and then paved the way!

Love Costco! Here is my platinum anniversary band & right hand ring. Description says I VS2, but they look whiter than an I. The 7 stones are super sparkly and have wonderful brilliance in person. Hard to capture in a photo. We bought it sight unseen (online), since it wasn't available in store. I am thrilled with it! It's low profile, comfortable, has a nice weight, and doesn't snag on anything either.

You know... the more I look at my earrings, I realize they sparkle much more brilliantly than my GIA certified pendant. I think they really choose stones with ideal cuts for their jewelry.
I agree! When I opened the bracelet, I was, "oh that's pretty." But when I took it out in the sun, I was like :faint: -- really sparkling!

Just wondering: is Costco selling lab-created diamonds?
Not to my knowledge. They get such bulk deals it seems unusual that they would. I think when the entire market turns, they might, but they offer such good prices on mined ones. Labs fill a gap where jewelry stores aren't lowering prices. Costco already lowers prices. My tennis bracelet was appraised DOUBLE what we paid for it at Costco.
