Hi everyone. New to this page, hope to get some inputs from fellow experts.

Just put in a deposit today to secure a SIC 0.56 D VS1 GIA 6352612995.

Paid 4.4k for it. Did i overpay for it? looking at past replies on this forum, seems like I could get a better cut (decagon albeit a longer wait time) for a lower carat / poorer color at the same price.

Please advise! thanks all :s13:


hi is 4.4k with setting? thanks

I find this is something personal preference and budget.
But personally, i went for some seminar as well as having some discussion with Jann Paul consultant, within the 4C i am willing to compromise Colour and Clarity and will focus more on Carat size and cut. So if you are going for 18K white gold band, i would recommend lowest color is G and clarity to be VS1.

IMO, you would still have to do a physical check to confirm whether the reduction of color and clarity can be seen by naked eyes. In term of pricing i cannot comment much.

Hi guys, new here. I just got a quotation and placed deposit from JP for a 0.64 SIC (scopes look the same as all other sic). F, VVS1 for 5.3k only for stone. Worth?

Also may I check if JP only carries SIC, or can I choose an ideal one also? (JP mentions that They only deal with SICs and not ideals)

Thanks!!

Yes, that's their white series round. Was initially told that we needed to top up about $500 more to upgrade from SIC to white series, so we went ahead with it. The diamond was done a few days ago, and in the end we had to top up $800 instead of $500, so thinking if it's still a good deal.

The white series from JP has the highest level of cutting precision, light performance and facet design already. You cant find it anywhere in the world. The US SIC vendors dont even come close to them. If JP isn't strict already with their SIC line, their white series line is even stricter. You can check the decagon video posted a few pages back more about it. Their stocks are extremely limited and booked months ahead in advanced. So if you're happy with the ct/color/clarity combo, I'd book it first and upgrade if needed in the future.

Ahh I see, so I guess 3.1k for my diamond is considered reasonable? We have already confirmed the diamond, hope it will be worth the upgrade! thanks for the info! :)

I would rather lower the Clarity to VS2 and get their white series round or decagon. It will shine better and you wont see a diff with VVS and VS. JP already ensure their VS is eye clean.
