Proposal Ring - Part 3

[Sessygurl143]

This is my friend's ring. Love the simplicity yet classy look of her ring.
The setting brings out the octagon shape diamond. Make me feel like changing ring again.

haha is that an eternity band?

nope, those are just half channel side diamonds. Since the ring was in rose gold, I felt side diamonds complemented the colour better. My gf and I prefer the rose gold colour a lot more that's why.

 

[druekahan]

I suggest don't do full eternity. In the future if she get pregnant, the finger size might get bigger.

Thanks. That's what they suggested too. Waiting for them to send me my wedding band design with it now

 

[akloaklo]

How do u guys do tje design? You draw it out and they make it look like what u draw?

Sharing some renders of the ring I got for my fiancee from JP.

Got a 0.928 D VS1 cushion Brellia finished in 18k white gold with side diamonds in a halo setting.

Collected my ring this morning!!!
First thing I did was compared it to my mum's ring. haha. Settled for a simple ring instead. Our wedding bands is going to be more complicated design so for the diamond ring, we opted for a simplier one.

The top ring is mine. Super Ideal Cut 0.91 G VS2.
Bottom ring is a mom's non-impressive 1.00 E VVS1

Very very impressed with the Super Ideal Cut quality. Pardon my chopsticks! My hands keep shaking. haaha

From my observation:
Diamond size
They look about the same size though its 0.1ct difference.
Better cut = better proportions = wider/bigger diamond.

Color
Strangely, the G looks whiter than the E. The centre portion of 1.00 E VVS1 is very black and dark (light leakages if ircc, ring of death?).

Clarity
Can't see a difference at all. We were already told that the diamond is eye clean. So I didn't expect to see any difference anyway.

Sparkle
I can't get the sparkle snapped on picture.
Really way more colorful rainbow effect.
Absolutely love the arrows from front view...very lovely effect..
The 1ct one on the cert it says hearts and arrows too. just couldn't make out the effect at all though.

Conclusion
Kudos to JP. Service was imppecable. They helped to speed up my ring before my overseas trip. The whole process was smooth.. it was a pleasure dealing with them. Highly recommended.

seems like solasfera is more expensive than octagon, if their specs are the same... Can anyone advise if the super ideal cut is more or less expensive than octagon?

Hi. JP's octagon is one of their signature cut. Hence, it wld be more expensive than the super ideal cut.

Hi, just wanna ask you guys if 0.71ct E VS2 including setting, for $5,300, is it worth it?

 

[tinkerella]

Hi all, first post ever on HWZ but am not new to this forum.. Just never got down to creating an account. Have read through almost all the pages in the three separate threads and the ring pictures are really gorgeous!

Would like to ask some quick questions since i am planning to go look at engagement rings w my SO soon -

Did any of you guys check out Michael Trio? How does their "Signature Ideal" diamonds compare to JannPaul's Super Ideal? Does MT let you see the diamond through the ASET and Ideal Scopes too?

I googled a bit and it seems they are more popular for wedding bands?

Thanks for the long post and for reading!

 

[akloaklo]

jannpaul have gemstones instead of diamond?

How long will a typical ring take from order to collection?

It depends on other factors.. is it GIA or AGS certified? what's the cut? It will be good if you can share the certificate and scopes.

High carat, color and clarity is are all no use if the cut isn't good. The cut will make the diamond more brighter and shinier which will visually boost up the other Cs.

My gf's friend had a 1ct D VVS2 diamond ring. When I compared it with our 0.8 F VS1 Octagon cut diamond, the size difference isnt noticeable. Couldn't really see the color difference as well.. In fact, at some angles, I though my diamond was even whiter... but maybe I'm abit biased... hah. Though our diamond was shinier for sure.. her friend was also quite shocked.

JP is a good place to start. They give a good edu sessions. 1-3k is enough to get you at least a 0.3 carat onwards I think.

Looks very big! and pretty! I like the small diamonds on the prongs.
Take some photos when your ring is done Want to see how the ring will look on her hands. If you don't mind

How do u guys do tje design? You draw it out and they make it look like what u draw?

They have alot of designs to choose from then you can 'edit' from there. If you got other designs or want to draw also can. They will make a 3d for you to see. It took about 2 weeks to get mine and another 5 weeks to craft my ring.

See their blog. They got post customization ideas there.

Hi! Thanks for the reply. Yeap it is GIA certified and have the 3 exces.

I don't have the cert no with me now, but I did calculate the HCA score and it was about 4.8.

Is the HCA score very important also?

Each time i come into this thread, also very tempted to upgrade. But i think use the money to go for holidays better, since already have a ring.
