Proposal Ring - Part 2

[Lynntoh]

Without side diamonds, for 18k white gold would be $550. $950 for platinum settings

Thanks a lot! Just wanted to get a gauge of the price range in case they quote me something that is significantly different.

Btw, any one here can advise on the price range for the setting? My girlfriend wants something simple, so it is likely that I will get one that is without any side diamonds

not advisable to get a carat which ends with 0.X. If the diamond is chipped, the value significantly drops.

Try to bargain for plain setting to be at $500. It can be done *winks*

Haha. I'm going for a setting with side diamonds. Does JP have any guidelines, say >5 side diamonds, we must top up?

Nope not that I know of... but setting with side diamonds will definitely cost alittle more compare to plain settings.

Hahaha if 5side diamonds and 10 side diamonds same price, i'll go for 10 side diamonds

Exactly what I'm curious about!

 

[Lurker_13]

My SO's ring setting has abt 8 diamonds on each side... but I can't remember how much the setting cost me. But I definitely dun recall JP charge me more bec' > 5 diamonds...
Edit: mine is customised pave setting @ $1,300 2 years ago. Here's a 3D render pic done by JP

Nice ring! Can I ask how much is this including the setting?
From what I gather, with a budget of around 6k, I should be able to get a stone that is approximately 0.6c, VS1/2, E/F?

Heading to JP next week, and this has been a really informative thread!

haha Thats not my ring bro. I got a Brellia.
I just screenshot from the video.. hahhaha

With a 5.5k budget for the stone only, you can get a super ideal 0.6ct, vs1, F color. Just spoke with Samuel from JP today about this

The super ideal only has the round diamonds? Was just looking at some of JP's octagon diamonds and I might consider those too.

Will there be a significant price difference?

Yes. Super ideals are only round. For octagons, I believe they command a significant price premium

Ahh I see. Guess I'll talk to them next week first before deciding. Thanks for all the info!!

Brellia from JP,
0.967 D VVS2 $16,200
0.954 F VVS2 $13,600
0.94 E VS1 $13,200
0.932 G VVS1 $11,600

0.932 G VVS1 $11,600

if budget is not a concern, I propose 0.967 D VVS2. The best bang for bucks would be 0.94 E VS1. I personally has higher expectations for colour instead of clarity.

Hi, just received my scopes. Would like some feedback if possible. Is there too much light leakages from the white spots? I'm a noob at judging these scopes so it'd be good to get some feedback. THanks!

This is mine. Ur scope looks ok to me. I think pretty common for super ideals.

Seems like super ideal scopes all look similar Haha. Shall not be too paranoid then

Yah if you want minimum light leakage gotta go for solasfera with a more premium pricing =)

But though there seems to be alot of light leakage, the super ideal still sparkles in my opinions. My colleagues have commented that it looks very bright and even my boss also noticed it.
