I've been contacting Jannpaul over email and shortlisted these 2 diamonds to save time. They're very prompt in their replies.
I'm visiting their store next week to see the diamonds but want to prepare for any possible qns.

The 2 diamonds I shortlisted are around the same price. Will you go for the E VVS2 or D VS1?
Both are their Super Ideal Cut range.

I checked on http://www.pricescope.com/tools/hca
The 0.42 E VVS2 HCA score is 1.4. The 0.41 D VS1 has a better HCA score 1.0.

One is GIA, the other is AGS. I read both are good and comparable. AGS looks abit more impressive to me.. maybe cos it looks bigger and got more details.
Should I go for GIA or AGS?

Any tips or questions I need to prepare when I'm there?

Hi Swabe13,

I've been looking on JannPaul diamonds as well. Do you mind sharing how much do they quote you on the above 2 diamonds?
What kind of information do we need to provide them when we first email them for inquiries? (eg. desired diamond specs, budget etc.)

Thanks.

Both were around the same price. They quoted me SGD 3k. That is for their Super Ideal cut.
They showed me Ideal cuts and the normal triple EXC ones too which was 15-30% cheaper.. but I could see the difference in quality  nod.gif

SGD 3k is for the diamond itself, excluding the setting right?
Their Super Ideal cut is very attractive smile.gif

Visit JannPaul yesterday and attended by Jerome, it was a very informative session with him and he was being so patient in attending all questions and showing me different diamonds under various light conditions. Totally worth my visit!

Nice! Are you planning to go SG to collect your final ring or ask them to ship to you?
