I got the ring from u/lilijewles. And it turns out to be lab diamonds with platinum, organic cluster layout (no center stone!!). The stones are all round, in different sizes, spaced in an asymmetric way. I love its sparkle in sunlight. It catches light from every angle but still sits low and comfortable. This is the first time I’ve ever worn something this “bridal” and actually felt like myself!
It’s lovely ☺️
