JannPaul Natural Diamond Pricing

[iglow]

Hi all,

I’ve gotten into contact with Jannpaul and they are quoting me the following for their

Decagon Hearts and Arrows:

1.41-1.43 ct G VS1-VVS2
USD 17,500-18,100 (excluding tax)

1.51-1.53 ct G VS1-VVS2
USD 19,000-19,700 (excluding tax)

On top of that they will impose a 2-4% increase if I were to go for the decagon nova.

Additionally due to tariffs and duty tax I will need to pay an additional 16% when it arrives in the US

Also I want to put this on a credit card and they noted they will use stripe which has a 4.2% CC fee.

So it looks like an additional 22.2-24.2% will be added on to the price of the loose diamond (however I can get more value out of the 4.2%CC fee with the Sign up bonus and free night hotel credit I would be getting from it)

So looks like I will pay around $21,385 for the 1,4 ct

And $23,218 for the 1.5ct.

Without the setting.

I love their decagon cut and also the nova cuts but this seems a bit exorbitant for the diamond. I’m wondering if the base price is inflated. When I look at round ideal ACA from white flash I’m seeing USD $14k for a 1.53 G VS1

5k lower than what they are asking for - now I know the decagon is a unique cut and should come at a premium but that’s more than a 33% premium for another super ideal cut diamond

Wondering if anyone can share their pricing experience with JP?

Doesn’t matter the price of ACA’s. That’s a different product. Until WF or others make a decagon, you get to pay what JP asks. They have a proprietary product so you have to pay to play. Either competition or lack of market activity will cause their supply-demand curve to take a dump and then they will adjust pricing to retain market share and/or move product.

The 4% CC fees is very similar to the wire discount at WF, BGD, etc. And tariffs, I’m not even going there.

If you’re feeling dicey, you can buy a round trip ticket to Singapore for about $1,000 and wear it back.
