Visited JP today. Quite alot of people. Don't know if I managed to catch some of the bros here in the shop. Haha. If you saw a guy wearing a green tshirt and jeans, that's me
Booking an appointment was easy. They're quick to reply emails. Before heading them down, I read many positive reviews here and went there with some expectations. All in all, I must say I was impressed. Casey gave me a breakdown on the diamond education. He made it easy for me to understand. Later I learnt that he is one of the partners in JP from his namecard.
I'm quite set on getting the Octagon. Its very very sparkly.. as in VERY sparkly.. One thing I didn't expect at all was that Casey brought out the diamonds to show me in different areas. He explained shop lights are very biased and wanted to prove how the diamond will perform outside. He showed the diamond outside the shop, inside the shopping mall area and inside the Cheers store next door.. Yes.. we actually viewed the diamond inside the convenience store. LOL.
This is the diamond when we viewed it inside the shopping mall building (near the security guard table). Wanted to take some photos inside Cheers but it was too cramp with other people..
I'm considering between the plain setting or with side diamonds. Casey placed some small diamonds next to the Octagon. I'm just worried if this will take the attention away from the main diamond. Also I read that sometimes it will make the main diamond look smaller. Is this true? On the photo now, I think it looks nice and ok. Though it might look different when done up on a ring. Do you think I should add the side diamonds? Or just one main stone better?
If TLDR: JP 10/10. A must go to place if you're looking for a diamond ring.
Edit: Anybody got kang tao for led ring box mah?
