Proposal Ring - Part 3

[Miltah]

Thanks for your feedback, I've gone to JP and on the 9-10k range for their Cushion Brellia diamond the highest carat range I can get is 0.88 cts Ideal cut VVS2 G for 10.3k

Does that sound reasonable based on your experience?

The other options around 10k are at 0.83 cts with slighty better color or clarity grading (VVS 1 and E/F) however as I can't really notice any significant difference on those I'm more inclined for a slightly bigger stone.

For a brick n mortar shop, u get service, ring customisation etc etc so sure it sounds reasonable. Especially if u want to let the gf go thru the custom process.

But if u are a value person, there’s online options to consider.

Other than the uneven girdle, is there anything else that’s less than their usual standard for this stone.

Not that I can see any..
What are the specs for the stone depth, table, crown, pav?

Collected my ring from JP! Very happy with how the final product turned out. Ring is very very well made and beautifully crafted. Diamond is superbly sparkly too and stands out. Very hard to take photos of it when the diamond is so reflective. Diamond is SIC 0.72 E VVS2.

Only qualm I have is I wish the ring box they give is smaller. Its quite hard to sneak it into the jean pocket.

I saw there is this 750 mark in the ring. Any idea what is it for? I dont remember requesting for it.

Nice ring! The 750 is the marking for 18k gold. That's normal for 18k gold jewelries.

Hi all, how is this Ideal Cut diamond from JP? Can tell imperfections using naked eyes vs a JP SIC?

I believe Ideal cut is by HOH. Not Jp itself. But of cos they are affiliated.

Anyway i've gotten my Ideal cut by HOH. Naked eyes my partner n i compared it with the SIC Jp but we couldnt tell. So we went for the Ideal cut HOH. To each of its own i guess. You need to compare the actual diamond you're looking at to see if you can tell the different.

Yep, my bad. Was referring to HOH. Just wanted to know whether the scopes are close to a SIC before I take time to go down and take a look at the actual diamond.

Should see and compare it yourself. Hard for others to judge for you. Price seems to be good. Cheaper than online

Besides JP, the next best option is the online route. Read the back posts and you can find a few suggestions. Weigh the pros and cons

just went JP few hours earlier to learn about diamonds, intending to buy a proposal ring soon.

then came here and read thru some of the pages.

I'm really astonished by the information. Props to some of you for the regular info sharing and reviews.
