Sharing the results of my research for alternative ring boxes!

Found a seller on Etsy that seems to make very good quality handcrafted wooden ring boxes with wood marquetry.

I didn't get an octagon diamond, but an octagon ring box for an octagon diamond would be a nice touch!

Hi guys,

I just came back from Jannpaul a few days ago and was interested in a 0.71carat VS1 F VS1 diamond.

I am really a noob when it comes to diamond and this happens to be my first engagement ring.

Are you guys able to assist me please? Do you guys think its worth the price tag of 7.3k? the details are as follows. (Unable to post thumbnail due low post)

Post for you. Very nice and symmetrical, minimal light leakage. Pretty good diamond!

hmm I would not get this unless the price was really good...

A fair amount of green parts in the ASET scope, and is asymmetrical around at the arrowheads.

Arrowheads don't line up nicely to the arrow "shafts".

Light leakage between the 6 and 7 o'clock positions, which is clear from the ASET and idealscope images but also visible on the actual diamond itself.

Broken hearts with splits in the center.

This should be an ideal diamond from house of hung stock instead of jannpaul? What's the price and specs?

Dear all,

I am quite new to all this so need your kind advice on the following diamond: GIA 1172655225.

Will post the scope images once I receive it. It's a Super ideal cut.

Thanks in advance!

yes its only an ideal, 0.64 E VS1 about 4.2k
i compared that vs a super ideal in outside conditions, cant really tell the difference in sparkles.

 

[mero_cwj]

My concern would be the light leakage around 6-7 o'clock, have a look again without scope and see if there's a "dead" spot which doesn't seem to sparkle. If not that it's ok, sometimes the scopes make it look worse than it is.

Thanks for the advice! Will take a closer look. What do you think of the price and whether other shops would have similarly priced diamonds of this quality?

Anyone?????

 

[mero_cwj]

Anyone?????

Can't tell much from just the cert alone, but based on the proportions it has a very very good HCA score - 0.6.

D color though so I assume you're paying quite a large premium for the color?

 

[KinoChoco]

Anyone?????

Don't think there's a need to look at the scope images of super ideal, their super ideal have very strict criteria which pretty much all look similar and will look exactly the same naked eyes. Just find a suitable budget, size, color & clarity will do. Perhaps lower the color and get something bigger, for D you'll be paying the premium that naked eyes could not appreciate.

Any other comments please? In real life can you all differentiate an ideal vs super ideal without the scope? Tbh i really cant tell the difference in sparkles

tbh can tell the difference in the bling when placed next to each other especially under sunlight.

but idea is always to work within budget.

 

[sugaricing83]

I would say each diamond is different. You can see the difference if put one super ideal and ideal side by side, but The difference might not be evident for another ideal vs super ideal.

I think $4.2k is very good for a 0.64, E, vs1. Previously I had the exact same specs but octagon diamond for $6.9k.

[mero_cwj]

Honestly, if cannot tell the difference, I would get the ideal diamond instead (probably will save at least 1.5-2k vs a super ideal). Can use the savings to do a nice ring setting.

I have also been looking at other websites (pricescope etc, saw KinoChoco there! ), and if you show them these scopes, they will tell you that it is a very nice diamond. Which it is. Honestly, having looked through some of the posts on other websites, even the experts there have a much higher tolerance for what constitutes a good diamond. If you go and look at websites that provide ASET images like whiteflash, GoodOldGold etc, and look at their top of the range premium diamonds, they will look similar or worse than the ideal diamond you have, and probably be similar price or even higher).

I've looked at a number of websites, and so far, I have not been able to find a diamond in similar price and quality to what JP offered me. The fact that your diamond was not accepted as JP super ideal stock goes to show how stringent their quality control is, because in any other establishment, it would have been regarded as a very good diamond which can be placed in premium stock.

worth it?

Hi all, here are the scope images. Please advise if this is a good buy. Reason why i chose D colour is becase my SO is colour-sensitive. Wouldnt mind going for an E colour but they dont have a variety of them in stock. Someone please assist to post the images, i am not able to do so.

Its a Super Ideal 0.59 D VS1.

Thanks!
