Oh, @TWoodman, I was pinging @momofive to see whether or not you should expect to get a wax model, too. I’m not clear who gets wax models and who just gets CADs.

All these threads and posts make for sometimes confusion communication lol!

Update to my last post. Our latest quote from Chloe is listed below for anyone who is interested.
Decagon 10 H&A, 111 facets -

3.71-3.76carat DEF VS1-VVS1

USD 12,200 - 13,200 (excluding taxes)*bank wire



Round 10 H&A, 111 facets -

3.73-3.79ct DEF, VS1-VVS1

USD 12,200 - 13,200 (excluding taxes)*bank wire



In case you are interested in the Octagon Nova 137 facets we have another rough:

3.55-3.60ct DEF, VS1-VVS1

USD 11,500 - 11,900 (excluding taxes)*bank wire

Hi @TWoodman ,
Thanks for the transparency. It’s making me wonder why my quote for an Octagon Nova was higher. We were given a range over WhatsApp by one associate and during our call with a different one the price increased ~1k. I originally reached out asking for something in the 3-4ct range.

WhatsApp general range given that probably wasn’t tied to a specific rough being grown on 11/27/23:
“But approx. a 3ct+ roughly ranges USD 12,500 - 13,500 (excluding taxes)*bank wire”

Official quote on a rough given 11/27/23 finalized when deposit was received 12/9/23:
“Diamond type: Labgrown Octagon Nova (137 facets)
3.51-3.59ct D-F, VVS1-VS1
USD13,500-USD14,500 *Grading & Pricing TBC
payment does not include setting”

It’s making me have doubts about proceeding with this very large purchase.

Update. We decided Jann Paul was not a good fit for us.
1. Communication
2. Price fluctuation
3. Missed appointments. No call/ no show

Can you shed light on the situation with #2 and who you’re going with instead?

We were given a range quote similar to yours.
This made us feel uncomfortable, not knowing exactly what weight and clarity we were going to get.

Just FYI that would be the case with all custom cut stones. Natiral or lab.

Agreed, #3 was the main reason
