JannPaul White Series Oval 8 and FIRE?

[CalliopeCladdagh]

I've been searching for the perfect oval for a while. At the moment it's a toss up between JannPaul's White series oval, and Jon's vintage oval at Distinctive Gem.

I recently visited Singapore and visited JannPaul to view an oval. I only had a short time and was jetlagged so didn't fully absorb everything I saw there.
I know their oval will be very bright but my question is do the proportions they cut to produce lots of rainbow fire as well?

I do have a real soft spot for vintage cuts with the wide flashes and the fire, so Jon's vintage oval has always been a strong contender for me, but JannPaul's have a few practical advantages - available now, easier geographically for me to get, I've seen one in person, their settings are good value, etc.

I know the 'flavour' will be different between the two cuts and that's ok. I would be happy with JannPaul's hearts and arrows style oval cut as long as it gives lots of fire along with the brightness. I will attach an example AGS report from the diamond I viewed on the day to give you an idea of the proportions.

I agree! I just tried finding the setting (unsuccessfully) to get a better look at it. It is GORGEOUS!

If you do find a picture of it on Instagram or something could you please link it to me here? I spent an hour yesterday searching as well, to no avail

I will! And same to you, please. My searches have also turned up empty.

Yes, the cut is lovely but they are quite spendy even compared with Distinctive Gem's specialty cuts so I haven't made my mind up which direction to go in yet.

For those searching for the setting, I'm sure if you contact JannPaul they will help you, their customer service seems excellent.

I just want it for the eye candy haha! I keep a folder of beautiful settings for fun.
