alpine75 Rough Rock Total Posts: 4 Last Post: 9/3/2004 Member Since: 9/1/2004	Ok I need your expert opinions on this. I was looking into a 1ct. Princess. GOG suggested to me a Jubilee .72 ct. diamond. I am now very intrested in this. Jubilee I want to know what you guy’s think of the Jubilee’s and what you think of this diamond. Also how it compares to a 1ct. princess. Example: Princess Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

This particular jube has better light return than that particular princess. I'm assuming the pricing is comparable & the jube is eye-clean... So - that leaves the shape... does she have her heart set on a princess cut? I think that's probably the most important Q in this case (tho you could certainly set it to look more like a princess)... _______________________________________ "any diamond given with love is a beautiful thing"

The Jube you posted is a very nice one. Because it isn't as deep as the others (usually around 70%), you are getting a very nice spread that makes this 0.72ct look like a 1ct Princess or 0.8ct Jubilee. H is a very colourless stone combined with a SI1 is a very sweet spot. Just make sure that the SI1 is eye clean to YOU. The other stats (H&A, Lightscope and BScope pictures) are so gorgeous too. Researcher and MMM are the Princess experts here on PS so they will be able to chime in your the Princess stone you posted.

Chrono Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,318 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/22/2004	Alexah, actually, I think the Jube might be a lot cheaper than the PC. The Princess is a G VS2 while the Jube is a H SI1. The PC is also over 1 ct and the Jube is under the 1ct mark.

alexah Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,032 Last Post: 2/16/2008 Member Since: 2/14/2004	I assumed the price was comparable. I'm thinking either stone is in the budget since they're both listed so it's not too much of an issue but thank you for the info chrono. Re: asking the princess experts on that princess, what more do you need to know? It's a tad deep & there are certainly ones w better light return but whether Jon has one right now is another Q. This SC is even deeper but its light return is in the VH range, tho it is somewhat rectangular-eque (not a bad thing unless one prefers a more square shape). _______________________________________ "any diamond given with love is a beautiful thing"

As I said before too, I know next to nothing about Princess cuts except that most are cut rather deep. That is the nature of the cut but some, however, are really too deep to bring out the beauty of the cut.

I would pick that jub over the princess...but I am a little surprised at the shape of the jubilee. That one looks a bit like a regent. Not that that's a bad thing. I would go jub. ______________________________ Stewart says: I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. And doggon'it, people like me.

Dunno. http://www.goodoldgold.com/regent_0_91ct_h_vs2.htm ______________________________ Stewart says: I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. And doggon'it, people like me.

Chrono Ideal Rock Total Posts: 11,318 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 4/22/2004	Very nice too. It is a little deeper hence at 0.88ct, it is the same size as the 0.72ct (5.4mm). But I love the I colour with fluoresence!

goldengirl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,132 Last Post: 5/30/2007 Member Since: 8/20/2004	My opinion: Jubilee = For that stone in particular, my concern would be the inclusions right in the middle of the table... make sure you get the okay that it's eye-clean (I know they'll treat you right!). Otherwise, I think I'd take a Jube over a princess anyday! "...Why don't they just come right out and say it? 'Diamonds...that'll shut her up!' "

goldengirl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,132 Last Post: 5/30/2007 Member Since: 8/20/2004	Okay, ignore the last one. My question on this new jube is, how come on the GCAL report, the photomicrograph shows the H&A with three half-hearts, and further down you see the optical analysis with perfect H&A symmetry? What makes the difference? "...Why don't they just come right out and say it? 'Diamonds...that'll shut her up!' "

quaeritur Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,238 Last Post: 2/3/2005 Member Since: 3/12/2004	I'm half guessing on this, because I'm not familiar with the setup to get the photomicrograph, but I think it's basically a photo of the stone pavilion-side up, magnified. To get that perfect view of the hearts, you really need to put a color filter cylinder around the stone to enhance the contrast. Same stone, same great symmetry, just harder to see without the setup. quaeritur

goldengirl Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,132 Last Post: 5/30/2007 Member Since: 8/20/2004	So....knowing this, it is possible to purchase a stone that is H&A without having the H&A scope image available? ....cool. "...Why don't they just come right out and say it? 'Diamonds...that'll shut her up!' "

valeria101 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,048 Last Post: 4/30/2006 Member Since: 8/29/2003	---------------- On 9/4/2004 1:10:30 PM goldengirl wrote: So....knowing this, it is possible to purchase a stone that is H&A without having the H&A scope image available? ---------------- I would say NO... The H&A effect is only obvious using the H&A viewer, so no surprise that the photo on the cert does not show harts. The arrows are more easier to captue on a photo. GCAL does not certify "Harts and Arrows" - so that photoicrograph is an ID, not a proof of harts and arrows symmetry. There will be one on GCAL certs for princesses, Ecs or any other diamond with no claim whatsoever for H&A symmetry. Hopw this makes sense...

valeria101 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,048 Last Post: 4/30/2006 Member Since: 8/29/2003	I would not expect the GemAdviser models to correspond all the time perfectly with the pictures - in this case they do not really look like either the respective perfect harts image, nor like the GCAL photo. The one way to reconcile all the versions below is to get the stone and a H&A viewer... Also, some inclusions are visible in the H&A viewer harts picture - you could match that with the inclusion plot of the stone. Regardless of what the explanation for the pics is, this one is a square cut with arrows showing through the crown and top light return. This still sounds very good to me Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian]
