Finally picked my Jubilee

[ep6585]

To make a long story short, after much indecision and a lot of help from everyone on PS I finally picked a Jubilee.

It's a 0.85 H VVS1. The depth% is lower than the 0.90 SI1 that I was originally looking at making them look the same size. It also cost less.

0.85 H VVS1 Jubilee

Here's a picture of the two that I was looking at. The .90ct G Si1 is on the left and the .85ct on the right.

NICE! drooling over the medium blue fluor too... I can see no difference in size between those two, or color. Great choice, congrats!!!

Here's the setting I'm looking at:

 

[quaeritur]

ep- that'll look so classic. Beautiful choice! Please post pics of the finished product!!!

 

[researcher]

I think you made a great choice (as you know), and that the setting is truly stunning! I like it much more than the standard x-prong

 

[jadeleaves]

They look fantastic!

*sends subliminal msgs to hubby*

Hey EP,
WHere'd you get the setting? Very Pretty.

 

[Patty]

Great choice and it will be gorgeous in that setting!

 

[tysonmonster]

Wow! After all our dialouge today I didnt realize we were both looking for the same thing!! Did you end up going with GOG? Was that a good experience?! Also, what setting is that? It looks very elegant and nice. Congratulations! Any advice would be very much obliged and already is! Thanks for your help so far!

 

[ep6585]

The setting is D.Vatche's new double prong x-prong setting. That's the only picture that I've seen of it. D.Vatche hasn't even posted it on their website catalogue. Jonathan (GOG) told me about it. He'd seen it at the Vegas tradeshow in June. I should get it sometime next week.

I know I'm paying extra for the VVS1 but the number of available Jubilees was pretty slim. Because the depth% was on the low end of the range for Jubilees I got the spread of the .90ct but only paid for an .85ct.

Again, that's a BEAuuuuutiful ring. I was so hooked on the Princess(thanks researcher, MMM, et al), until I stumbled upon this young lady. I am looking at the GOG VVS1 D-at least on their website. Can you give me a "ballpark" for what you paid as they don't have prices up? You can PM me if you want.
WOW-thanks, EP.

 

[ep6585]

My experience with GOG has been great so far. Everyone there has been very helpful.

 

[moremoremore]

ok- those are not even funny!!! WOW!!!! What a beautiful rock you have picked out!

 

[ep6585]

Thanks MMM. I can't wait to get it and then give it away.

 

[ep6585]

Here's the first picture GOG just sent me. More to come.

 

[JC]

Wow, those are nice. So is the ring. You definitely have great taste. Congrats!

[Stephan]

You did the right choice!
I simply love it!

 

[verticalhorizon]

Amazing... where are the pics from the side?!

 

[moremoremore]

EP- what a magnificent creature!!!!!! That is truly an amazing stone...

And I love a nice 'simple' setting (with a twist) to show off the stone... Job WELL done!!!!!

 

[ep6585]

Here's the side view. I've also asked GOG to take some from different angles.

From the top the prongs almost look heart shaped.

 

[noobie]

Wow ep, love those prongs. It looks great. You must be thrilled with the result.




so what's the plan?

 

[Shopgirlk]

OMG! Your ring/setting is B-E-A-U TIFUL!!! I liked the princess cut too.

 

[ep6585]

Noobie - I really like the way the prongs look from the top. I can't wait to get it to see what it looks like from different angles.

I should get the ring from my appraiser sometime early next week. I can either propose next week/weekend when I get the ring or I can wait a week or so and propose when we're on vacation in Ireland. As of right now I'm leaning towards doing it sooner rather than later. Mainly because I don't want to have to worry about hiding it, losing it, or having it stolen during our trip. But...proposing in Ireland would be great.

 

[Patty]

It's beautiful, ep!

I love those heart prongs on the corners!
