Wow Alexah..you are a great shopper/researcher! Unfortunatley, all of those prices are not in $10K MAX budget bf has. Yeah, I''m scratching my head on that comment as well.

I just received Excel''s Novo replica in 14ct WG with a 1.2ct, I, VVS1 Good Old Gold Square Hearts & Arrows installed and it''s beautiful. I wanted to post pictures this week (although I believe the pics Excel has online are of my actual ring anyway) but have been working 12+ hour days. My appraiser took a few shots yesterday so, at the very least, I should have some to post by Tuesday or Wednesday next week. BTW, the Square H&A is cut pretty much exactly the same as Tiffany''s Novo rock and they don''t face up as much as a round brilliant. Think of cutting a round then lopping off 4 sides to make it square and you get the idea: same depth but less facing up.

Want to know the best part?? The whole thing cost me just a little over $10K. Forget Tiffany!

Wow McDestro that''s great! I cannot wait for you to post some pics and some great hand shots. I know people have brought up the replica from Excel but no one here has actually seen it or heard about it so many were skeptical to suggest it as a viable option. Now we have yours so that could all change!

Please be sure to post pics. I really wish I could see a Square H&A in person before purchasing..just don''t think that''s an option!

Congrats again!

Thanks, same to you Spark! Can''t wait to hear about the trip!

Ok Angel -- After they called the police to escort me out ... I left.

j/k

I had the best time! It was great b/c b/c I was so excited the SA was really excited and motivated to assist as well. He was terrific and gave me and my friend The Tiffany Wedding book and the Tiffany & Co Blue Book!!

When you go, you have to get one and check it out. They have some phenomenal pieces in there - Check this out ... There is a Tiffany Novo on the first page inside the Blue Book... It is a 25.27 carat fancy intense yellow diamond!! It is gorgeous with it''s little yellow gold point claw prongs set with little baby yellow diamonds. While it may be just outside of your budget for approx $1.4 million, it is certainly lovely to look at and drool over.

So first things first ... when I entered the store I immediately felt crazed (not an unusual or unfamiliar sensation for me, just more intense than usual

) I headed straight for the Novo''s b/c I''ve been dying to see them in person....

...TOTALLY disappointed. To me, they looked nothing like the pic in the ads that Tiff''s has been running. Firstly, the ones on display were H in color and I immediately picked that up. I asked the SA if they were I color and he said, "close" ... H. I personally didn''t find that warmth suited to that particular ring. I would have preferred to see a more icy example. The H, I believe was around 1.5 ct. It was around $26K! Certainly, not worth the premium to me.

Anyways, despite my disappointment, I somehow managed to move on to bigger, better and sparklier things. We spent more time checking out the diamonds and my friend fell in love with a Jean Sclumberger "Rosebud" ring! It is perfectly suited to her. I would have never even give it a second glance b/c it looked too elaborate, however, she slipped that beauty on her finger and it just "popped". Beautiful. It had a 1.62 G VS2 centre stone and is $36k. She loves it and headed home with a new found purposefulness and the intent to talk "upgrade" with DH.

This G VS2 was un"expletive"believable! This is not easy for me to admit being a D-F girl, however, I would have snatched up that stone in a heartbeat (snatched being the operative word since I wouldn''t be able to afford that bad boy right now)! It was SO lively and full of fire. It was so beautiful that, to me, it looked almost like it was textured. I know that this is weird description but it had almost a velvety smooth appearance or depth. I could just keep staring at it forever and really get lost in it. It must have been something about the faceting and the light reflecting within the diamond or it must have been a result of the incomparable high brought about by the jewelry crack pipe that is Tiffany''s. Whatever it was, it was intoxicating and really made me rethink my "not interested" stance on Tiffany & Co.

I know that this is long and blathering ... Honestly, this diatribe would easily have been more interesting and entertaining via a phone call, however, I wanted to give you the scoop and pump you up a little for your trip. I hope you get a great SA and that they treat you right ... If they don''t offer, remember to ask them for one of their Blue Books. You won''t regret it ... Some of the stuff in there is amazing like some of the stuff that Diamante Blu tried on in NY on her naughty upgrade trip.

Don''t forget to come home and spill the beans! I also hope that they have some better and bigger Novo''s on display for you and ... while your there, doesn''t have to be a diamond, but ... pick up something nice for yourself.

 

[bee*]

I was the exact same as you Spark when I went into see the Novo''s-I wasn''t blown away by them in real life at all. I still look at the pictures in magazines or on their site and I think it looks amazing but in real life it just doesn''t seem to match up. Glad you enjoyed browsing.

 

[Angel7]

Spark: Yeah, I''m glad you had a such a good time!

What a dissapointment that the Novo just didn''t do it for you..and for that price, it better do something! Love your descriptions, felt like I was there with you. So glad your friend found the ring of her dreams...I still cannot get over some of those price tags!

Ok, I''m going to ask for this blue book if I make it there today. It''s like 6 degrees in Chicago right now and am debating if I want to walk the "outside" mall that Tiffany''s is located in!

I never seem to get an excited/nice SA so I just always feel like I should just rush out of there....hopefully today goes better!

Thanks again for the blingy details!

I''m glad you enjoyed my little tale! You will have a blast today! What are you talking about woman??!! GO .. you will not feel the cold. Diamonds have an uncanny way of heating me up. It''s pretty funny, my cheeks get red and I''m sure I get wild-eyed.

I hope that you see the Novo and love the ones that they have on display ... there just has to be a beautiful one. Any SA worth anything will feed off of your excitement and make the experience positive for you ... or at least they should and I hope that they do.

My friend is pretty excited. She loves her original ering and her husband spent a lot of time and care designing and having it made for her so she is really quite concerned about how he might feel if she starts talking upgrade or about replacing her existing ering. She''s already working a couple of angles though to soften the blow so I''m sure that if she really wants it, it will be hers.

I have to tell you though ... that G stone in the ring she loves is amazing. I always consider myself firmly in the D - F range, however, I now understand why someone else on PS described G as their sweet spot. The stone was white, no question, however, there was a warmth to it ... It was like the diamond was a liquid swirl of delight ... All icy whiteness with a richness to it ... I know I am belaboring the point, however, I really was that impressed by it and had to share it with someone or people who wouldn''t think I was a nutjob for doing so .. Okay, all finished now.

I can''t wait to hear your story ...

 

[Angel7]

Spark - Ok, so I''m back! I braved the cold, but the diamonds are worth it!

So first we went to a local jeweler that I wanted to visit since they had Michael B rings...however I know now that if I want a decent center stone, M.B is not an option. However, I did fall in love with a set (w-band and ering which I love) I posted pics below.
I asked to see a Cushion and didn''t like the cut. It was more rectangular and it sparkled more like a Radiant...
Saw a Princess stone:
1.01 carat, E Color, Clarity S12 (dont know if I''m crazy about that), Depth: 70.6%, Table: 73%, Girdle: TK-VTK Cutlet and Flour: None Polish: VG Symmetry: G
(Not sure on if it''s a really good stone, but we were just "looking")
I told bf I wasn''t crazy about it and I''ve seen bigger and better cut for same price range.
Anyhoo...so I love the setting so I''m thinking maybe I''ll search for a diamond online and get it set there. Now I''m starting to wonder if I want round even though I''m not #1 round fan. Do they really look that much bigger? I wish I asked him to bring our a round of the same size to compare. I just want to be SURE. Ughh...too many choices!

Ok so next, onto Tiffany''s. Walked in (ok, ran in from the blistering cold) and was greeted by a very nice lady and as I was looking she asked what she could help with, I said the Novo please..there was a bunch under .5 carats and a larger one so she said which? I said, umm that one please (of course the largest one

) and I tried it on and immediatley was sure it wasn''t for me. Just didn''t give me the flutter. The center stone was yellowish..I asked, she said it was an I and for some reason she didn''t know the clairty???

It was $14K and about 1 carat! I couldn''t believe it. BUT, I am happy I went and now know the Novo is not what my

desires. Looked at some other solitare beauties and left wishing I had a higher paying job!

What a fun day of bling! Thanks for listening and for sharing your stories!

Hey Spark, you never told me the details of your ring..center stone, setting etc. I have to live vicariously through you!!

 

[Sparkalicious]

Yay! A juicy update!

I LOVE that setting ... It is gorgeous! It looks like a Ritani setting that I have always admired. I love the matching wband as well. Lucky girl ... looks like you are honing in on what you want even though you are still a little confused.

If you want a "decent" centre stone ... you are too funny.

If the Michael B setting is price prohibitive, have you looked at Ritani settings? If not, try looking at Pearlman''s Jeweler''s or Ritani''s website to see if you find something you might love equally.

I agree about the radiant sparkle. Personally, I prefer the larger, chunkier faceted look to the crushed ice look as well but that probably has to do with my round obsession. With regards to the Princess ... you know that you can find better online or even at a different jeweler. Not really familiar with Princesses, however, I know that when I was looking for my round, I was a stickler for EX polish and symmetry and was not a fan of sketchy "eyecleanliness". If it had visible inclusions in the pavillion, it still was not eyeclean to me regardless of whether or not diamonds are graded from the "table" or whatever other nonsense, although accurate, I was told. "Just looking" is perfect and a great process to follow for a while! It''s exactly what you need to do in order to nail down what it is that "YOU" are looking for and what it is that you like or don''t like, want or don''t want.

Rounds a great. Classic and they capture the quintissential diamond sparkle nicely. A couple of years ago, I too thought I wanted a princess. I think this was partly because of their popularity right now. When I started shopping and compared the two, I found that I far preferred the effect the round had on me.

Now, if you are talking cushion, that''s a different story. If you can get one large enough 1.75 -2.00 with that delicious chunky faceting and fire in the right color/clarity combo yada yada ... I''m in! They are gorgeous and look so sumptuous ... The reason I say bigger is b/c I found that the ones that I checked out seemed really small for the carat size. 1.50 cushion looked smaller than 1.50 round, for example.
I will definitely help enable you if you are thinking "round" ...

Now onto Tiffany''s!
So glad it went well for you but I''m sorry the Novo was disappointing.

So funny .. what a surprise you wanted to see the largest one.

We''re so predictable. Look at it this way ... on a positive note, now you don''t have to figure out some diabolical type plan to weasel Tiffany quantities of money out of your bf. Everyone''s a winner.

Did you get the Blue book or the wedding book??? Please tell me you didn''t leave without one.

I shared my ring with you ... actually only you, coincidentally, on your detailed prong, crown thread in the Show me the ring forum.

You can take a peek and you will find it, however, never ever hesitate to share details again. As is the case with most of us, we love talking about our babies ... those who actually live on our fingers and those who haven''t come home from the jeweler yet.

My setting is a Simon G split shank "u" prong setting. It is really beautiful in person. Spectacular actually but it doesn''t take good pics. I coveted it for years but then thought it was too expensive ... the jeweler we were dealing with at the time actually ordered it in for me to check out ... just to see and when I saw it ... I started crying. It was madness on my part, however, it sealed the deal ... the bf said that that is the one and we haven''t looked back. The crying really took me aback b/c I didn''t expect it but it was a result of the total visceral reaction to seeing this gorgeous setting that was meant for me.

Enough drama ... next ... my diamond. She is a 1.28 E VS2 round brilliant GIA graded AGS0 beauty. I love it and the jeweler always laughs at me when I admire it. She says that I won''t be allowed to drive once I get it on my hot little hand b/c I will swerve off the road admiring it.

It has been a long process ... we started out looking years ago and looked at a lot of diamonds. This really helped us hone it on what we wanted in a diamond and what the 4 C''s and all the measurement specs actually looked like in reality.
If you get a chance and are considering rounds, try to make sure to see them under an idealscope. It''s really neat to see the hearts and arrows pattern on some diamonds!

Whew ... this is long. Sorry, hope I didn''t gab you to boredom.
Thanks for the update!

 

[Angel7]

Spark you are so funny!
Thank you! I really like that setting as well. I haven''t looked at any Ritani''s. I was going to go into Bailey..BandB today but I got side tracked. (Damn Coach store!)

Luckily the setting from the local J is affordable.

I agree, the 1.0 cushion looked a lot smaller than the other stones. Can you explain to me the importance of polish and symmetry? (I honestly don''t know) I''ve never seen an EX one! I''ve liked Princess cuts for as long as I can remember so just decided to stick with it. I hadn''t realized they are popular lately. I really really want to look at a round now, just curious about the size vs princess. I really liked having that 2carat CZ on my hand!

Ha ha! No, I don''t have to think of a plan to get Tiffany money out of the bf!
Please don''t kill me, I FORGOT to ask for the wedding book or blue book. I know, I know..STUPID STUPID STUPID!

Yes, I''m so sorry! Of course I remember your beautiful ring! It''s a stunner and I cannot wait to see it on your finger! Your stone sounds BEAUTIFUL. AGS0 WOW, congrats to you!! Did you order it online or did you get it from your jeweler? I like your jewelers sense of humor because I could see myself doing the same!

Thanks for listening to my hunt and for sharing yours! Next...a stone. Boy, I''m sweating already...this is tough but so much fun!

 

[Sparkalicious]

Hi Angel - glad I could make you laugh.

Sidetracked by Coach! For goodness sakes, you are on a mission here, woman. Focus. Diamonds today, Coach tomorrow. Actually ... if I''m being honest ... it happens to me too. It''s shameful how fickle we can be, isn''t it? ... Thanks goodness we don''t live near each other ... we could get into some serious trouble together.

OH! I didn''t get that from the previous post ... I didn''t realize that the setting that you posted pics of is within your price range. I thought that it was too expensive and you were going to have to find something else. I''m sorry. Since it''s not .. that is GREAT news! One thing down, right?

Can I explain the importance of polish and symmetry -- in a word - no. Hey, at least I''m honest.

Since I am inept and unable to explain, I did find links to the PS tutorials that should be able to assist you in this regard ...

Diamond Symmetry
Diamond Polish

I''m going to read it too so that I can explain it in future.

I think my insistence on Ex/Ex was b/c I was fixated on the pursuit of "perfection" ... I knew that, personally, it was worth it to me and my obsessive personality to get Ex in as much categories as possible or else my neurotic brain would pick it apart and think that something was wrong with it b/c it wasn''t Ex. No point in doing all that, besides, who has the energy?

I do have to warn you that you are treading on dangerous ground ... It''s really hard to go back. Once you see and feel a larger diamond on, as you have so treacherously done today, it''s difficult to step back down. 2 cts is a really nice size .. actually I think somewhere b/n 1.75 and 2 would be perfect for me. Is that what you are shooting for?

Of course, if you have a chance, you should check out both Princesses and Rounds and compare how they appear to you and how "big" they face up. This way you can be positive about your preference.

Thanks for the compliments on my ring. I''m glad you like it. I ordered the diamond and setting from a local B&M jeweler. They do deal online, however, since they are where I am, I was fortunate enough to be able to go in and check out the merchandise first hand. They have really competitive prices & sometimes better prices for like quality diamonds online. Also, they are able to order in designer settings at around 25% less than other traditonal B&M''s or chain stores due to lower overhead etc. My bf actually found this place and it was the best thing ever! It is essentially a jeweler in an office building in the jewelry district. You have to make an appt to see them and they tend to deal with more educated or quality motivated clientele and, I perceive this as a bonus b/c they have a better idea of my expectations and how to meet them. While they list EGL stones on their diamond search, they will not order any in for clients unless specifically requested. They believe that GIA stones are graded more accurately thus they don''t want to pay to ship in a stone that they don''t have in house that may not be what it is said to be ...

Anyways, as usual, I digress ...

Don''t worry about the books ... there''s always next time.

 

[Angel7]

Spark - Thank you very much for the info! Hmm..seems symmetry and polish are important and I should pay attention!

I know, what a bad diamond shopper I am..letting beautiful bags stand in my way. Bad!!

Thank god we aren''t by each other, we would have some serious debt issues!!

I think with the quality I want and the bfs budget..the center stone would most likey be between 1.0 - 1.3..maybe 1.4. Yes, I''m going to suggest what you did..just go and see both next to each other.

That''s great that you found such a great jeweler. That''s half that battle! (I think so at least)

Hmm I just did a PS search, rounds are more expensive the princesses huh?

You are welcome! I''m actually having a lot of fun with you.

Debt issues for sure! My cousin lives in Chicago ... if I''m ever headed out that way, maybe we can get into some trouble...

1 - 1.4 hmmm ... Perfect! Really nice size. I think that is a great "bang for you buck" size. Not as expensive as 1.5 and up but still sizeable on your finger.
Finding a great jeweler is a great deal of the battle, in my opinion as well. You hear too much garbage from other jewelers and their prices are like highway robbery as well. Finding a good one is a "gem" ... ha!

PS search found rounds more

, huh? I never realized that ... Do you think that it could be b/c princesses tend to be deeper, thus face up smaller so you have to get a larger carat size to face up the same as a round? Maybe if you search for princesses that are a little heavier, carat wise, these prices might correlate with rounds in a slighty smaller carat weight? Does that make sense? Not sure if that is right or not, just a thought ..

I am in!!

It looked to me that they were more $$. I could be wrong. I have no idea - I''m still so all over the place in my brain!

Ok, next step. Decide Decide Decide if I want round or princess. Cushion is definatley out..so I go from there. God what drama. What a soap opera I am!

Excellent! Don''t have any plans now but ....

I just ran the Pricescope Cut Quality Search and found the following based on the results that came up:

Round: 1.25 - 1.40, E - G, VS2 - SI1 --- Avg $9,222
Princess: 1.25 - 1.50, E - G, VS2 - SI1 --- Avg $10,940

I know that this isn''t scientific b/c the number of results that came up were not the same etc, however, given that the princess may need to be a little bit bigger to face up the same same as the round ... prices are fairly comparable, given that my unscientific method leaves much to be desired.

Darling -- you have no idea about drama. I had the market cornered when I was shopping for my ring! I have the frantic emails to the jeweler and the nights or restless sleep to prove it.
You''re fine! The best part is that you are enjoying it and having a great day. I really think it''s a great bonding activity or opportunity with the bf ... you are both learning about something new and fun together.

Thanks Spark! Ok, I guess round is less expensive then? Again, don''t listen to me I have no idea. Although, by looking at that price range..we''ll definatley be closer to the 1 carat range as oppossed to the 1.5 range! Thanks again for your help!
I think it''s fun with the bf, him on the other hand..I don''t know if he thinks it''s fun!

No idea! It is confusing. Maybe if you call Whiteflash or another vendor, they might be able to provide you with more info about princess vs round?? I dealt with Traci at Whiteflash and she is fab! She will answer all your questions and is professional and fun to boot!

1 - 1.25 is a lot more reasonable to sure. The bf IS having fun ... he just would never let you know.

Thanks for sharing your stories/experience with me ... It''s been fun. Let us know when you are looking for the stone for real! We''ll help you look!!

 

[Angel7]

Thanks so much Spark! I''ll be sure to keep all posted with my drama!

Have a good rest of your weekend!

 

[asianhoney]

OMG, I would have never thought it would be that much! Ok, maybe I will not be going to see it this weekend!

Thanks so much bee!

no prob. I never got the specs on it though so it could have been a D/VVS1 or something like that. You might as well go in and have a look at them though.

Hi Angel7
$2000 is for a novo that is VVS2, poorest color, smallest diamond size (i''m assuming 0.3ct?)

 

[asianhoney]

i'm glad u found urself an alternative!

 

[naveen]

i can ask my jeweller to quote you but you will have to provide diamond details and metal

 

[gwendolyn]

I think it's interesting you guys weren't really impressed by the Novo. Me, I'm not a pave or halo girl at ALL, but when I saw the it in person, it looked so much more delicate that I thought it would that I did a few double-takes on it. (The one that caught my eye also had an E stone in it, which was part of it, I admit.

)

Interesting how we reacted in completely opposite ways to it though, I think.

ETA: Oh, I'm stupid!! I'm talking about the Legacy, not the Novo. Sorry!!

 

[Angel7]

Thanks all. I actually went to try on the Novo and it just did NOTHING for me. So it''s not an option anymore! But thank you everyone!

 

[scarlet16]

FYI

I was at the Tiffany''s in Manhattan this past weekend and tried on two Novos:
1.75ct, E, VS1 - $41,200
3.13ct (don''t know the stats) - $143,000+

And just for fun, I tried on an amazing 5+ct, D, VVS1 emerald cut that was $434,000+!!

i tried on a 0.91 ct, vs2, not sure of the clarity.. for CAD$17,000+ last summer
i actually own one of these.. a 0.94ct, vvs1, D clarity.. but i dun wanna know how much it costs, nor is my fiance going to tell me!

VS2 would be your clarity
and D would be your color....
