I got mine very close to yours.. My deposit was placed in feb. I chose their classic setting - $550.. Oh yeah, I paid mine in cash. So there was a 2% discount.

This is the Tiffany i got before

I wasn't happy that the diamond was not of the best quality that I was hoping for, my wife found the diamond was too small, end up we got one more from Jannpaul.

The funny thing we both notice is that jannpaul diamond is whiter, even the color is lower. It's possible to see from the pictures too. My camera cannot capture the sparkles but in real life the jannpaul diamond is much more sparkly and looks just more clean, like you can see all the cutting much clearer.

Nice! I got mine from JP too!

Diamond Appraisals

I am looking for a diamond to be appraised.

Does anyone know where is the best to get it appraised in Singapore? What kind of reports would one get from the appraisal?

Anyone with past experiences on this?

Anyone can assist? Thanks.

Yes. U can let them when u wan to craft the ring. It take abt 4-5weeks as its not done in sg.

They have some classic design u can choose from which cost abt $550. But u can search from the net what setting u wan.

Is it possible to get a below .5ct with JP on a simple 6 prong setting for 3k?
Or would i be better off sticking to vivo and bluenile?

Anyone wanna help me evaluate this? Kinda good deal for 2k and HCA score is great at 1!

assuming its GIA certification with triple ex, washington will value it at around usd2040. so yes if you pay sgd2k for it, even if the cut isn't fantastic and idealscope/aset isn't great, you're not getting a bad deal...ie. you are paying what is an acceptable price compared to the market.

however, if your aset/ideal are fantastic and you pay 4-5k for this diamond, then forget it. you are paying WAY more than you should.

Just went down to JP last Sat for appt. Casey attended to us. I can say that I'm impressed by the sincere service. I think there's a new guy in training cos he sat in while Casey is giving us the crash course.

Gf wasn't too enthu at first cos she tot it will be boring. She just wanna look at diamonds =.= so I was pretty amused when she listened in and had all the "I didn't know that!" moments.

Casey recommended the following diamond which she really like. Just wanna hear what u guys think. Sorry no images yet. I'm trying to request from Casey but I personally had seen thru the scope and it's pretty amazing.

Brellia 0.67c F VS2
GIA Triple Ex
Flourescence None
Quoted $4,750 incl. GST

Edit: I realised the info I posted wasn't quite enuff when I see that most pple here posted full specs. I will request from JP and post back again.

ask JP for the GIA cert number. you get the 4Cs from it. and the triple Ex. plus you can input the HCA score. i'm sure they will also show ideal scope images plus the hearts n arrows etc+ light return images.

JP is decent and a better buy than most of the bigger retailers out there. they explain well and take pains to show stuff. i have sat in with a friend on one session previously and liked the explaining

but if you do take the pains to look around, do you own research etc. yes you can source out better deals---in terms of value that is

What is the diamond specs for the Tiffany ring?

The diamond from Tiffany was also triple excellent. But it was already set on the ring. So I didn't get to look at the diamond with the scopes.. The sales person told me that triple excellent means its the best and there is nothing better than that... It was all sales talk.. To make matters worse, I later realized I should not have bought a flat carat size...

yes Casey replied that it will take a few days for him to prepare the images so I will post them here later for more feedback. Thanks!

Bro.. the HCA score is only for round diamonds.. not for cushion.

is brellia more expensive, or super ideal more expensive?

also, I notice that , one colour grade, meaning from E to F, makes a lot alot of difference in price ?

 

[Carnage]

Brellia cost more. But I'm not sure how much more, it's hard to compare base on diamond type.

rule of thumb: one grade=8-10% difference in price

if you want a really shiny one, just got Aurora and get a diamond simulant

jus asking.. is charlotte atelier really worth it ??
