That puppy is just sick!!!!

 

[quaeritur]

OUCH! I think I've been blinded!!!

What a beauty....

 

[strmrdr]

kewl.
I wonder how it does on the b-scope round scale?

 

[MelanieC]

Wow- I would love to see that stone in person.

 

[glitterata]

That's like an Old Mine Cut that died and went to heaven. Ditto the previous poster--I would love to see that in person.

 

[Stephan]

Oh my...!
And no price, of course?
I'll never buy a round again!

 

[Matata]

heart rate up....palms sweating....droolometer off the scale.

Sorry I haven't been able to participate as often as I'd like lately but hella busy in emails... Where our friend strmrdr sent me a link to this thread asking to see the results of that stone on the "round" scale.

We have recently make the links to these stones public and YES they are to totally drool over. I can barely contain myself when I'm showing these beauts.

Of fancy shapes on the market there are only 2 other diamonds (besides our handselected rounds) that can even hold a flame to these. Those being the Jubilee and also the Regent. I was informed from the manufacturer that about 50 new stones are being sent to GIA for lab grading. The greater majority of these they anticipate Ex/
Ex on as that is what they shoot for in all their stones. However, it is results like this that impress me most.

awesome.
It is way kewl that there is becoming a wider selection of
truly awesome shapes to choose from that give the best rounds a run for their money.
Now someone who doesn’t want a round diamond doesn’t have to take the second string cuts like most princess cut diamonds.
It is really sad that every day they are getting farther and farther away from me being able to buy one with the market the way it is.

Thanks for posting the "round scale" readings.
It really helps to see where these diamonds fit in the scheme of things.

Rhino - how are they priced compared to the Jubilee and/or Regent? Have the prices on these cuts been going up lately?

• I agree.

• I hear ya. What really makes it interesting strmrdr is that these particular fancies have greater overall brilliance than most rounds on the market. Can you imagine a woman holding up a Jubilee/SqCush and the diamond being more beautiful than the round she is comparing it to? In terms of *sheer brilliance* and light return the round has always been king regardless of your preference for shape. With these newer cuts and factories like them that are being attentive to sites like ours and pricescope and are interested in *moving forward* with the times, these new shapes out now, as you point out, are giving people more options in shapes without sacrificing beauty and THAT is a good thing.

Thanks for posting the 'round scale' readings.

• I hear ya. I have to tell ya, I kinda like comparing any stones results on the linear scale of the rounds for a comparison on how it does within the grand scheme of things.

EP, in answer to your question on the pricing. They are so close in price to the Jubilee's that we price them identically (in most circumstances). I know that 99% of the SqCush's are GIA Ex/Ex and the factory that cuts them... if the stone does not have an excellent H&A pattern plus get GIA Ex/Ex they'll send it back to be recut. This is my understanding from what I've learned of this company thus far.

Peace,

guess I'll sit on the side-lines...bein' a second stringer and all....

 

[Rhino]

LOL... mmm




Hey... among the world of *princess cuts* (you're personal preference in shape) you are certainly not looking at 2nd rate stones.

That's not to say I won't consider varsity when you get a 1.9 G cushion in

 

[ep6585]

MMM - moved on from the 1.9 G SI1 Jubilee already?

 

[moremoremore]

LOL...no EP...that one too! The jub is 1st choice

 

[ep6585]

With the right prongs the Jubilee can look really square. Maybe not quite like a princess cut but pretty close.

 

[Rhino]

Agreed EP,




I was very impressed with your double prong and I thought it did a nice job of squaring off your stone too.

 

[ep6585]

Rhino - I don't know if you saw it or not but part way down in my posting of the ring I thanked you, Marie, Christen, and everyone at GOG. Thanks again.
