for 0.46 super ideal, D.. VVS2 - $3300 exclude settings

0.54 solasfera , G, VS1 $4500 exclude settings

will prefer a 0.46 solasfera but they do not have. but super ideal still look very sparky and blink too.

Undecided man.

In my opinion it is really a matter of preference which look you like better, a 57 facets or a 91 facets stone? If I remember correctly, for solasfera you can up 1 colour grade, ie your G colour solasfera will be like a F colour for a round brilliant. And then which is more important to you, the size of the diamond or the clarity? Are you able to tell a 0.008 difference in size visually? Unless you really want to be both mind clean and eye clean, then go for VVS2 otherwise a VS1 stone is the way to go.
My 2cents worth.

Hi Guys

Just received some scope images from JP recently, let me know your honest comments

Brilliant Round (Super Ideal)
0.75ct F VVS2
HCA: 1.0

Hi, not sure if it is bec the diamond is tilted, the arrows of the diamond seems to be crooked/broken. The V gap on the hearts seems to be not equal also. :s11:

Bros, what kind of price that i can expect for downsizing a 14k white gold ring? It's a normal classic solitaire ring. No, i did not buy the ring locally, so there's no free resizing. I know most jewellery shops offer the service, but any preferred suggestion? Thanks!

Thanks for the advice.
Will go down and compare both price and shine again.

Just went jp and still choose the super ideal cut.
Prefer large sparkles and by naked eyes can't see a big diff of .46 to .54

Looks great.

How much did this 0.75 set you back?

Yea in a way JP did say that it's partly due to the tilt. I was concerned about the V gap too. The broken arrow looks fine on the ideal and asset scope so I'm not too worried about that.

On the question of price, it's 7.8k for the diamond alone.

I would have preferred a more symmetrical diamond but there aint much choices for that size to begin with. Should I ask for a change ?

If you are not in a hurry and also confirm to get diamond from JP then maybe you can put a deposit to reserve this stone first and request JP to look out for similar size diamond in their next available shipment for you.

Oh... ok thanks...even though u got u diamond from jp ?

nomoreliaola · Jul 19, 2013

hmm ok, the story is i placed an order for JP for an ideal cut, 0.825 ct ... reason being the 0.8+ for super ideal is limited in supply (3 pcs only infact) .. so i guess my concern is that i might be getting a lemon, pushing to sell me a diamond from HoH instead of from JP, (despite the numerous complimements from the forum) ...

They may be housed under the same place and use the same receipt but operate seperately.
JP diamonds are displayed at the far right part of the shop.

I took your advice and did just that.

Surprise surprise, I was shown a 0.75 with exact same specs as the diamond I chose.
Looks better under 3 scopes, even the underside H&A !
Only caveat is that it's got a HCA of 1.5 , doesn't qualify as a "super ideal "but is a good 15% cheaper. I suspect it was a rejected piece but too good to passed off.

It's an AGS 000, Florescence: None

Congrats on your purchase, most importantly you are happy wif what you are paying for. For me I think I changed my mind 3 times or so before deciding on the stone I have gotten, Casey has been very patient with me.

The answer to your question is Yes.

Guess bec' JP is now operating within HoH that is why they are using the HoH receipt. We did ask JP why but can't remember what the reply was though. Maybe you can highlight your concern to JP? =:p

JP is operates inside of HOH. That's probably why they only go by appointments so they know you're looking for JP or HOH.

chubbytoes · Jul 19, 2013

i see, thanks for that

I'm into diamond jewelry too... The prices offered at Luzure will be the lowest in this industry I think... Can visit the Facebook page... Search for Luzure Jewelry Singapore...

For diamond that size for super ideal..there are not many.. usually must wait for batches to come in .. not they don't want to sell u.. is don't have.. unless you can wait up.

This is what I understand from Aaron.
