james allen ring

hi guys. i was tasked by a friend to look for his e-ring so i've been stalking this forum for a while as well as a lot of other websites like pricescope. after some mulling, i decided we could go further with his budget with james allen. just wanna share the experience so you could also consider james allen as an option.

diamond specs: princess cut, F VS1, 0.90 carat - US$3,840
settings: platinum pave halo - US$1,490
shipping: free
discount: US$130
net price: US$5,200 (before GST)

james allen buying experience:
- actual diamond picture with rotating view
- GIA report uploaded
- shortlist 3 options and request for ASET and gemologist opinion. they will have the diamonds shipped to their store for analysis. this service is free for the first three diamonds analysed
- gemologist will revert with the ASET, analysis and a recommendation, i can guarantee that they are not biased, with my 3 options, they recommended exactly the one that we were rooting for which had the best light performance yet the cheapest of the 3.
- free engraving, free resizing and 30-day return
- mention you're a pricescope member and request for discount, i got US$130!
- payment by wire transfers get a further 1.5% discount, credit cards accepted
- 24/7 call/email/chat support
- tons of diamonds and settings to choose from
- packaging is very elegant with drawer type box, comes with appraisal of the jewelry, special cloth and discount coupon for wedding band

so here's the video and picture of the ring. the video and picture quality though do not do justice to its actual beauty. the search is finally over for us, good luck on urs! if you do have questions with james allen, feel free to let me know!

If you follow the chinese old saying "nan zuo nu you" , then it will be left hand for the man and right hand for the lady? If that's the case then her proposal ring should be on her right hand.

But nowadays people are wearing on the left hand because it is "closer" to our heart. (sounds sweeter) :s13:

Ya, if it's just one ring, it's always on the left hand 4th finger. But if she wears both rings, put which one on the left hand? proposal ring or wedding band?

Sharing with you guys my new purchase - The Octagon diamond.
This is actually my second ring from my husband, the first was from Soo Kee from my then bf. (I have been bugging him for a new diamond for a yr =:p )
Having read all the reviews from here leads me to jp which I must say they are very professional and educate me and my hubby through the whole buying process.
Lionel served us. He's very friendly and gave us good service with his recommendations and opinions.

This is my old and soon to be new diamond :)
Its very obvious that the Octagon diamond looked much better.
Wished we knew more about the cut last time.

Do you guys think the size difference is very obvious? Or should go bigger? =:p

Just reserved my stone from JP as well this afternoon. Spent about 2 hours in total.

Overall i would say the experience is good. They gave us a lesson about diamonds and was very willing to bring different diamonds for comparison.

Got a brellia cut 0.68 caret vvs2 E colour. Cant wait to see the final product

Hi all,

Can help me see my scope images and tell me your comments? I see the center of the diamond the circle like not very rounded, and on the ASET scope, it seems very green compared to other ASET scope images of others..
Of cos this is just my own comments and I'm not an expert in this, appreciate help from you guys. THanks

Personally I got a 0.51 D vs1. Placed a d and e colour beside and it was obvious to me which was better
