tracys126 Cut Rock Total Posts: 245 Last Post: 7/21/2006 Member Since: 4/4/2006	Hi all, I wanted to share with you this Kwiat ring that I saw yesterday. It was gorgeous in person, so different, so lovely, so ________? Kwiat tells me that their new designer from Tiffany's created this. It's from their Harmony collection. What do you think? By the way, does anyone know about Kwiat diamonds? Any thoughts either way would be great... Thank you! Tracy

Well known, large business - one of the US based sightholders, gone down the diamond branding route since 2001 or so. No idea who the 'designer form Tiffany' is (strange sales pitch?), but the ring reminds me a bit about the bezel Lucida ring. Does the ring come already set with a diamond? Any lab report on it? I would think there should be a decent choice of stones from these guys... Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian]

tracys126 Cut Rock Total Posts: 245 Last Post: 7/21/2006 Member Since: 4/4/2006	Hi Ana, Well I want to choose my own diamonds through Pricescope vendors (of course) and have the band made. But my boyfriend, well, you know the story, wants me to buy the whole package from Kwiat. Kwiat only sells their bands with their stones, I'm pretty sure. They are least GIA certified but I was looking for an AGS O. Kwiat is apparently highend, but so is Tiffanys and this doesn't mean much to me after becoming a Pricescope member. HA! Ruined for life! Anyway, will let you know how it goes. Thank you!

Maybe there's hope then... you could well find an 'AGS0 candidate' (= diamond with proportions compatible with the top AGS grade) round among the new GIA certs with proportions and cut grades on. Neither GIA or AGS makes any indication of H&A cut... Hope that a well researched 'package' from the sellers you prefer will be convincing in the end!

(bad grammar) I know that Nordstroms carries Kwiat diamonds, and I've seen them there, but the prices were high considering the specs on the stones. They were pretty though. I love the ring!

tracys126 Cut Rock Total Posts: 245 Last Post: 7/21/2006 Member Since: 4/4/2006	Here's the information on the former Tiffany designer who designed this ring..I know, I am obsessing! Kwiat announced recently that it has retained Janice DeBell, a 20-year veteran of jewelry retailer Tiffany & Co., as the brand's new director of design. DeBell brings over 25 years of design background, including a stint at Harry Winston, to her position at Kwiat. Nearly 100 years old, the fifth-generation diamond enterprise has increased its market share and consumer awareness via a branding initiative that includes national print advertising, in-store branded merchandising and direct mail. ...

tracys126 Cut Rock Total Posts: 245 Last Post: 7/21/2006 Member Since: 4/4/2006	I saw this ring at Leo Hamels (www.leohamel.com). I believe they are a family owned jeweler here in San Diego. I actually went in to meet with an appraiser who had an office attached to their store, and viola! this ring found me. But I do know Neiman Marcus carries Kwiat too.

Are all three bezel, because I have a lot of trouble finding bezel settings for one or three stones. Thank you, Caracol Caracol

part gypsy Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,755 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 11/7/2004	I remember when I was browsing pricescope before I was posting, and someone was torn. They posted a beautiful 3 stone princess cut ring that was a Kwait piece. The person was asking if they should purchase that ring, or save 2 grand on having someone else make it. I wanted to say the KWAIT ring the Kwait ring! I don't even like princesses but their stones looked gorgeous in the picture.

caracol Rough Rock Total Posts: 19 Last Post: 8/17/2007 Member Since: 3/23/2006	Hi Tracys126, I was wondering where did you get the picture of the Kwiat ring. Even on Kwiat web page I do not seem to see it. I looked into the Leo Hamel web page, but can´t find the ring either. It is really a beautiful setting and it really ressembles the Lucida bezel ring from Tiffany. Thank you and good luck with your choice. Caracol
