Found JUBILEE!!!

[j_yeh]

I have been in search for a Jubilee stone since I learned of them in March 2006. I know the manufacturers have stopped production, but that didn't stop me. I am so glad because I have located 3 from an authorized vendor in PA!!!

My question, what is an ideal range for a 1ct jubilee?

Which would you choose? All three come with GCAL certificates.

6.15mm. x 6.14mm. x 4.25mm. I VS2 1.22ct

5.86mm. x 5.83mm. x 4.01mm. H VVS2 1.05ct

5.87mm. x 5.85mm. x 4.18mm. J VS2 1.12ct

For those interested in the other jubilees, let me know and I will point you in the right direction.Thanks ps for any input.

I already purchased a 1.07ct Jubilee from GOG and am in the process of setting it in a platinum e-ring posted in the link below, I don''t know how to link yet, sorry!. This one will be made into a pendant for my little girl. Her name is Jubilee

The specs for the Jubilee I purchased from GOG:
6.11mm x 6.10mm x 3.88mm for 6,000.00 even.
1.07 cts G SI2

Do you think its worth the extra extra money for 1.22ct?

~~I am no expert, but I wouldn't pay the extra $$ just to go up .05 mm...Unless you want better color/clarity/cut, etc... Plus, your stone has better color, and the clarity might not be an issue. Have you seen the stone in person yet??

I just set my Jubilee, both from GOG - I got it when they first came out. I havent looked at the info for so long, but i think it is - 1.02 G VS1

Your Jubilee is beautiful! The eternity band is my favorite, and I have decided to go with Leon Mege for the setting. I just wished there were larger jubilees so Leon can work with. He worried that with a 1ct. all the details may drown out the Jubilee, and I couldn''t agree with him more. I told him I was just happy to even have a Jubilee. Hopefully GOG may be able to locate a larger stone for me sometime soon.

In the meantime, it will take LM about 4-6 weeks to produce my ring and set it, but if he told me it would take him longer I would gladly wait too because his pieces are all gorgeous! This guy is really passionate about his work, and I am eager to meet with him in person. He went on and on about how he could play with the design I liked etc etc. Lucky for me I am in NYC. He invited me over tomorrow...but sadly, I don''t have the Jubilee in hand yet. My father is coming home with it tomorrow night!! WOOOOHOO!

WHO WHAT WHERE WHEN WHY? Am I the last to know? I had no idea they were discontinued....

Congrats on your find. I agree with #1. Been looking for jubes too... haven;t found one with my specs yet tho

E, around VS1, ideal cut, around 1.3-1.5 carats...

Oh, definitely keeping the one from GOG, it was hand picked by Cary himself and shipped to GOG since he can only sell to the trade. I am really happy with the one Cary picked and the major inclusion is where a prong would cover so I can live with that. The other two inclusions are twinning wisps...and very noticeable but only under magnification. I can''t be picky when it comes to Jubilees so I chose to live with that. But really, I am thrilled!!!

I am getting an eternity band with split prongs on an eternity basket. Its very classic and I like that. As for the other 3 stones, I think I might pass on them altogether until Cary finds a 2ct for me. CROSSING FINGERS!
