Dear Kind Folks,

Firstly many thanks to everyone who had given me valuable insights in my solo search for a diamond ring.

Can anyone comment on this piece:
Bryan&Gavin: CAGS-104104774023

- I know one of the heart is not in line with arrow, but anything else wrong with this, and is it worth the price?
- Will it count as super ideal, and what would similar diamond cost in JP?


- Lastly, where can i get a ring made with own diamond in a week's time

If you're comparing against JP's standard, this piece is more like ideal, definitely not super ideal.

Based on the price history chart provided by Mitah, these 2 are the closest sold by JP. Pricing seems to be quite similar as JP's ideal after adding in GST and forex, probably better off sourcing from JP.

0.74 G VVS2 $5900 (Ideal)
0.77 F VS1 $5950 (ideal)

Between $18-20k :-(

Congrats!
3x or 2x rule?

 

[myth_shenhua]

Nope.. walked into shop with her and gave her a choice between several specs. Anyway I think 3x is kinda extreme. That means 1/4 of your work year is all for it.

 

[CaptainFantastic]

Thanks @milthan & @CaptainFantastic for your advice few months back

The ring is finally here and while my gf loves it, my wallet is feeling the pain everyday...

Congrax! That's a once in a lifetime ring. Now you need to start saving for the wedding

3x or 2x rule?

I dont think people really care about 2x or 3x, it usually depends on individual preferences on sizing and whether you're willing to part the money.

There are people making 20k monthly but get a 10k ring and generally they only get 1 CT which cost half of their month.

I it because of the girdle?
Well as you can see, it is already sold

Ahh well, i will live with the fact - I saved few hundreds.
Now just need a place to find a jeweller who can make a decent ring around it and that too within a week

It's actually a good piece, it's just that JP are too 'perfectionist' on their super ideal, which is why i said if u hold it up against JP, it wont be super ideal, however if u compare with other jeweller, it will probably be classified as super ideal.

It's not just the gridle, but its very minimal, i'll dare to say even if you place it beside a JP's super ideal, it wont be easy to notice the difference....ideal is typically good enough for everyone, super ideal more for perfectionist who doesnt mind paying more

Thks. Already have quite abit in that range but will probably replace some with yours as it’s more recent

I think it’s a nice piece but u sound like u are on a shotgun schedule.

JP takes 6-7wks as his crafter is in HK.
Even local crafters, u are pushing it to get it done in a week.
The only possibility is pre-made cast/rings, which can be set within the day

 

[jianhui1982]

Hello Miltah, here is the picture. May I have your opinion on this?

Looks good.
Arrows look rather fat, I’d guess 75% LGF.
34.5 crown, 40.8 pav with a 56-57 table.

 

[jianhui1982]

Attaching the GIA too

Yea!! LBF is 75%, crown 34, Pav 40.8, table is 56.
I amexpecting to have crown 34.5 and table 57.

 

[jianhui1982]

Should i proceed with this? or i should source for others?

 

[ThiamWan]

If you see and like it, why not? JP has an option to swap the deposit to others as long as you don’t start on the ring crafting.

Hi Jianhui, can check if yours is a sic and how do you get the cert and diamond images? Can be attained without purchasing yet? Thanks.

Hi Faithswordz, yes is SIC. I went there to shortlist the diamond and request the scope and GIA.
