I ordered this ring back in Oct and I was told it would take 6 months. Looks great on you! Hope you decide to get it. Even though I was told it’s for engagement ring I’m gonna wear mine as a fun daily ring. Lol

Oh wow. Where are you located?
It’s gonna be a proposal ring so my boyfriend will be getting it some time next year and propose (discretely as a surprise ofcs haha)
We’re in Dubai and I remember them mentioning something about it being like 2-3 months for custom order

I’m located in LA but I ordered mine from my aunt’s sa in Taiwan. we don’t have a chaumet here in the USA. But I do have a sa in Paris that I purchased my other rings from. Yes you can pick the quality of the diamond and also you can pick the sizes from .50 to I believe .59. But I was told by my aunt sa that they say 6months but it usually arrives earlier but just to be safe they give it 6months. My Paris Sa said it’s bout 2 months or 3 but it depends on the size of the ring. I opted to go with my

Thanks for the info will def tell my bf to speak to the SA in advance. Did you get to pick the color and clarity and carat for the aigrette diamond ring? I think he’ll be getting it from Dubai boutique as if it’s tw then I’ll have to be involved then it’s not really a surprise proposal anymore xD

It’s alway nice to meet someone with a Taiwanese background lol the necklace you have I have the same one too. My mom got me the carnelian version in rose gold in Taipei. I did get to pick the clarity but since I wanted D color IF quality it only came in a .52. it depends on the color or diamond size. Is it cheaper in Dubai?

Aw yay! Btw how is the mop for you? Is it delicate or do you wear it without much care?
Im not sure about the price tbh- it’ll only be my bf and the sa in contact from this point onwards. But I did ask for D color and vvs1. Btw in tw there are always a lot of promotions at department store- so sometimes it can be little bit cheaper :)
Thank you !

Hi ladies- I had a try on the Josephine Aigrette ring as a potential engagement ring option (we’re trying on different styles from different brands/places). Any thought on how it looks on me?any opinion is appreciated

First, you have amazing hands and fingers! Wow... I think the ring is lovely on you. An elongated setting definitely suits you. Have you tried any other styles? I think an emerald, radiant, pear would look lovely on your finger. If you love the Chaumet, go for it. It is definitely very unique.

With their designs I haven't been able to pull the trigger. I think because I don't feel they have longevity (for me!) and I may tire of them. However that is just me. Jewellery is very personal and I can definitely appreciate the right piece on a person. If you've tried on many different styles over a period of time and keep coming back to this, then sounds like it's the one or a definite contender!

Thank you for the response!
And thanks for the recommendations on different cuts- we still need to go to different jewelers to see what really makes my heart sing :)

I agree. So far I’ve tried it twice and both time it made me jump hehe

Mine isn’t the MOP. I have the carnelian version. It’s not delicate at all. That’s good quality. Yes I was surprised. My aunt said her sa gave her additional discount so at the end it came out a bit cheaper than Paris.

I wish! Maybe I can get another when I visit next year lol . I do actually own 2 pieces. My aunt gave me a sweet Alhambra for a gift many years ago. I added a vintage Alhambra bracelet and it’s a daily piece I wear so it’s pretty scratched up lol
