Good stone for sure. What's the specs and how much?

Hm, it's 1.09ct, G, VS1. - 14.9k

I had the choice of choosing a 1.01, F, VS1 for 14.8k, but i cant tell the color difference when i placed them both side by side, but definitely can tell the size difference. There's another diamond presented to me with exactly the same specs i bought but AGS certified. That, i can tell the color difference so that one was outright rejected. Even when both are G, i think the one i chose is on the higher end of the G spectrum, if there's even such a thing?

steal her ring, ask her mom or sister to help.. or alternatively, can try to take a picture of her hand for rough gauging...

The crown angle is on the high side in 36 degrees. If I'm not wrong, when crown gets too steep, it will have light leakages. The photo you have is the arrows scope only and cant tell the light leakages. You will need the Aset scope to confirm it. The hearts scope will be useful too.

The HCA rates the light return and scintillation as Very Good only, which I think its due to the high crown. Other experts here might have better insights

for a diamond ring between 0.4-0.5 carat is it more worthwhile to get super ideal or the solasfera?

Hi all,

I went down JP and was quoted the following specs as per below:

Super Ideal cut
0.43 Carat, VS1, Grade F With setting - $3300
0.53 Carat, VS1 Grade F With setting - $4650 and $4550 for 0.51 carat.

Currently I am still waiting for the scopes, cert and HCA to be sent to me. Will share for more information once I received them.

Would appreciate for some feedback from folks here.

Thank you!:)

Hi all, what are your preferences/choices when it comes to ring settings, cathedral vs non-cathedral?

I was into non-cathedral all these while but I heard cathedral makes the ring stronger and holds up the diamond more, which helps the diamond look poppy even when paired with a band.

Anyone with prior experience who would like to share?

I like very fancy designs and so I chose to custom a verragio lookalike ring (which was cathedral and saw quite a number of girls on the street with the same design years after I custom it) type

Iirc the staff told me that such settings quite high, so can make the diamond look bigger than it is. I wore it with a thin wedding band and it looked very prominent now. I kept gettinng questions asked about my diamond ring because the combination (wedding band + diamond ring) looks damn big on my finger.

Wow very nice!! I might need to go for a simpler design though as mine is a grey diamond. Going to HOH this week to check out their designs and actually try on their stuff :)

Is this a Jaan Paul Forum?

Hi all,

I am new here and looking to buy a proposal ring. Just wondering if this is JP forum as I read mostly threads about JP. When I tried to search for threads on other brands such as Michael Trio, Fonder Diamond, etc, while they appear in the results but seemed like the thread is deleted.

Thank you

I think the Mods merged all ring related thread to 'Proposal Ring'. This is not a JP's thread, just so happen that they are the highest recommended and most mentioned one :)

Thanks KinoChoco. Will check JP out. I am trying to search for reviews on other jewellers but the threads containing the remarks seemed to be deleted. Any way I can assess them cos I found them in the search results.
