Proposal Ring - Part 3

[blurpandasg2014]

I went for consultation at fairy’s inc and jp. I like fairy designs and i like jp diamonds so i was wondering if it’s possible to buy just the diamond from jp and bring over to fairy to do the setting?

to add on: i saw the price of the setting with filigree/milgrain around 4k+ without the diamond on top. is it really that price excluding the diamond?

Yup also wondering if can ask for discount at JP

 

[dragonbryan]

U sure u got it from jann Paul or house of hung? How much did u pay

I got it from HoH, aren't they the same shop?

 

[dragonbryan]

Congrats! Share with us what did you get!

I've gotten a D VS2 0.71 Carat. Still went for the idea cut only as the dimensions we're pretty well cut. Did a bit of research and saw some recommendations about the ideal proportion of diamonds. Saw it under the ASET and found it much more acceptable. Super excited now and can't wait to take it asap

 

[dragonbryan]

When some of the people here say poorly cut, they mean poorly cut according to the very high standards of super ideal set by JP. To most outside standards yours is probably good enough.

There are 2 establishments under the same shopfront, House of hung and JP. You mentioned you got ideal, not super ideal, so I don’t think anyone was ripping you off. They probably tried to give you the best they could based on your budget and size requirements. If the super ideals from JP were out of your budget, possibly they recommended the ideals from HoH.

Nevertheless, high chance the same diamond would be more ex if sold by most of the other shops.

Ya I agree they probably thought I was very concerned about the size and thus gave me that diamond. Maybe our communication wasn't so well with each other. Nonetheless went back and change the diamond so am so happy now!

The one u settled for was it the super ideal or the ideal one in the end
Can share how much u paid for it

Jann Paul and house of hung shares the same premises but the products offered by JP is only super ideal cut while house of hung has ideal cut and below

I settled on the ideal cut. But the cut proportion I think is quite good. ASET also looks ok. I sacrifies the cut a bit and go for a bigger carat

Went to JP, SK, Lee Hwa, Meyson, Gold heart the past week to look at engagement rings, and it’s safe to say that JP really provides the best quality diamonds with reasonable price range.

The “ideal/signature” cut diamonds from all the above excluding JP was freaking overpriced and no where near the standard of even the ideal cuts from HOH. SK quoted me $7k for their 0.52, G color, VS2 signature cut ring not to mention that their triple excellent diamonds look worst than the 20 baht diamond earrings my partner bought from Bangkok.


Apart from that I need a little help please!!
Dilemma between choosing ideal cut and super ideal cut! On one hand my partner said there is no difference between the ideal cut and super ideal cut when viewing with naked eye, but the difference in price is just $100-$200 extra for the super ideal compared to the ideal cut.

Those that bought before from JP do you try asking for discount or is the prices from the sales rep fixed?

Not sure why but I am getting the feeling that my sales rep is giving me a high price for ideal cut diamonds to push me into getting the super ideal cut.

0.47, G, VS2, Ideal cut ($2950)
0.47, G, VS2, Super Ideal cut ($3150)

Anyone knows if the ideal cut is decently priced?

For $200 more, just go for the Super Ideal Cut bah. It'll be worth it

I think I mixed up the diamonds I saw last week. Would you guys choose which of the 2 diamonds if my partner doesn’t mind both the super ideal or ideal cut from JP?

Super ideal:
0.46, E color VS1- $3200

Or

Ideal cut:
0.47, G color, VS1- $2950

I do not want to spend over $3000 for the diamond so was thinking to wait for a 0.45(?), 0.44(?) super ideal cut G color VS2 but the sales rep couldn’t give me an estimate when the next shipment of SIC will come and also no guarantee that there will be one within the specs I want.

Or should I just get the 0.47 ideal cut

Edit: anyone tried asking for discounts off the diamonds from JP before? Haha if they firm on diamond price I won’t ask and malu myself.

I would go for the super ideal cut unless the normal ideal cut one is really much better cut. It's $250 more better to go for something with slightly more quality.

My SO would say, stick to your budget! Especially if she does not mind Hahaha but do you have the scopes for the ideal diamond? I feel better to stare at the scopes and see if you're able to live with the reason why it wasn't classified as a super ideal. Or you could always wait for a smaller carat super ideal that's within your budget but make sure she's okay with the G colour!

You could always try to ask for $50 discount hahaha but after you ask liao Btr put deposit if nt u ask for a second diamond to look at and ask for discount again, they will say, I knew you were going to ask for a discount so I already discounted the price for you (happened to us lol).

How much would a diamond cost for about 0.7 carat, super ideal cut, F colour, VS1 from Jann Paul?

 

[gold_eagle36]

How much would a diamond cost for about 0.7 carat, super ideal cut, F colour, VS1 from Jann Paul?

I guess at least 7k without setting?

 

[blurpandasg2014]

I was quoted 6850 for 0.71, F, VS1

 

[anizee]

How does this diamond look? 0.72, G, VS1, Supposedly Super Ideal Cut

Wow looks very impressive. Can share which jeweller or online website u got this from and how much

I noticed that there seem to be a slight defect in the heart at the 9pm position. There is a slight breakage. Otherwise its all good

 

[ThiamWan]

How does this diamond look? 0.72, G, VS1, Supposedly Super Ideal Cut

The left most heart at 9 o’clock is smaller than the rest. The top right 1 o’clock arrow seems slightly broken. Other than that the rest is ok. Only some minor digging on the girdles. Overall its more of a Ideal than Super Ideal cut.

How about the ASET and proportions?
