Correction.
Whiteflash offers free prepaid FedEx international returns within 30days.
Whereas returning a stone that u called in via JP requires u to bear the fee

Really? I’ve never heard of the fee for us to bear tho in JP. If it’s true then I need to update my brain 😂

Forevermark locally is carried by Lee Hwa only, correct?

Went to Lee Hwa recently to query for 1.25c Forevermark or Destinee. Salesgirl replied they don't have such size, as theirs are mainly 1.0#c or 1.5#c (heehee, now I know why). If want 1.25c will have to custom cut. Estimated price

Forevermark : 40k
Destinee : 50k

Maybe I look like a carrot ...:s13:

Did u like requested for D color flawless? Haha. I remember Destinee only quoted me less than 30k for 1.3~ but that’s F~ color

It’s not that u look like carrot. The flat caret weights are at 1ct and 1.5ct. It’s max profit for them at those ranges

bro, any of these 3 are not drop ship merchant?

Yes and no.
Brian Gavin’s top line is “Black by BG”
Whiteflash’s top line is “ACA”
These are their in-house stocks that they own.

The rest of the lower tier cuts are Virtual inventory.

If I had to break it down into categories;

JP Super Ideal cut
*best cutting

Whiteflash ACA
BG Black
HOH Ideals
*this ranges widely. Some are good/bad. You’ll have to nitpick for the better ones. HOH Ideals are priced lower compared to ACA and BG Black. Just whether they have the stock you want. If you’re willing to sacrifice on the cut abit, you consider this range. Before committing to ACA or BG Black, check stock with HOH Ideal for best deal.

Virtual inventory
*Everyone has access to it. From the past posts, HOH seems to price it the lowest if you’re willing to consider this range.

Just to add on actually BG also has a lower signature line below Black which they have in inventory.

Are HOH ideals Hearts and Arrows?

Yeah 50k must be for Destiny diamond 1.5c?

I recall Tiffany 1c about 30k in terms of "show off" factor I would go for the Tiffany if spending that much already :)

Anyone tried using Luxiee.com before? It kept popping up on my facebook so I went on their website before. Looks like alot of their diamonds come from Indian suppliers.

Yes, JP buyer will have to bear the fee to return the diamond, provided the diamond can be returned. This is the current arrangement I have with JP for bringing in 1 diamond.

Nope. I never specified anything. It was because 1.25 is not what they have ex-stock, thus no pricing. The salesgirl asked one of the senior and advised me that estimated price. Then she took out 1 Destinee from the shelf and told me

"Sir, this one is $57k, close to the estimated price."
"What size is this diamond?" I asked.
Salesgirl looked at the tag. "This one is 1.57c, G VS2".
"So 1.57c $57k, 1.25c 50k?"
She looked at me "Sir, that's why the $50k is only an estimate".

:s13:

I dropped by Canary and was told a classic 4 prong setting 18k white or yellow gold is $900. Oh my goodness. Thats way more than the $600 mentioned. Showed them some pictures of the setting I wanted and was quoted $1200. Hmm.

Following on from above, does JP do setting for diamonds not purchased from them? I saw some posts that they do, but when I asked JP, they told me they will not do a setting for me if I dont buy from them....

Understand the 1.0# and 1.5# are flat carat weights.

I was referring to I must look like a carrot to pay 40-50k for a 1.25 Forevermark/Destinee.

I don't know if its just me but in my circle of friends, the girls dont know about cuts and colour etc. All they care about is size and branding. Some die die just must have that little blue box.

From other forum users, HOH was setting external stones for a short while but stopped doing it.
