Yeah.

So if you're willing to pay a premium, those brands are to look for.

If not, go find other brands.

Premium got its own benefits and advantages also.

Most important thing is, buy same spec but design not nice later wife won't wear or just keep inside house till dunno when. Izzit worth to save on that?

Definitely Platinum > White gold. Just that it has low resale value if you want to resell it in the future. Not that white gold is any better.

If can afford Tiff & Co, go ahead. Many naysayers will say better to get those diamonds and self design the ring for your own purposes.

While it may be cheaper for you to consider, I'd think that getting a rock from such stores matters.

Most of the ladies in office are wearing Tiff & Co rocks anyways from where I am sitting

Why don't you tell her this instead :-

"Darling, I could buy you a crappy ring now and we can be happy. Or you can wait and I could buy you a tiffany few years down the road. All I ask is for your patience at this moment."

For me, if you're gonna do something, don't do it half assed. Proposal in once in a lifetime.

But if you really can't afford it, forget it lor. No point killing yourself over a ring.

Either way, if you can afford it, you would've bought it.

Simple theory. I am okay to splurge. Others may not.

That's why we have this forum to voice out our opinions

Better to cry in a Lamborghini than a bike

Heard that saying before?

Not as much as others did

But I am happy with it.

No price how to give you a definitive answer?

What's ur budget limit?

Looks pretty good if it comes with a GIA cert.

VS1 is basically a non factor unless you microscope it.

What's your main goal?

Big rock? Excellent color? Good cut?

You did not state your budget limit, hard for people to advise one.

I could tell you there are better diamonds out there. Just whether you think it's within your budget or not only.

Main goal for the diamond la....

You want bigger carat, you need to sacrifice other factors lor.

I think the 0.37 u shared yesterday is quite okay ah.

What you want to know about it?

It's an wedding band rather than proposal ring.

I have one and few of my friend has it.

If you want to buy from shop, you're like buying the ring for the branding purpose only. Unless you're talking bout others like Poh Kong and etc.

As for custom make, no issue also. You just give them a design you like and you'll get a ring with better quality perhaps compared to commercial ones.

After few years ah? I am not sure about males one coz some of us don't wear it on a daily basis (Some hang inside shirt with a necklane or some sort).

But for female ones, I saw a couple of them who wears both engagement rings and wedding band for quite a prolong period but still looks nice.

Maybe you gotta send it for "maintenance" after a while but generally, since the engagement is already on a platinum band, it does not "dull" much compared to standard gold.

Hope that helps.

Nothing much?

No cert diamonds also need about 3k that range to start, I think.

Irregardless.

Love don't pay the bills. Money does.

Shallow or not, it's her choice.

As long as your other half likes it + you can afford the price, it's okay d.

Make sure the diamonds has certs, at the very least just for future resale value ( If you want to be safe ).

Looks big / Sounds big.

Have you checked out the diamond yourself?

If it comes with certification, it's pretty decent.

Diamond with certs holds its value better than diamond without certs.

Of course resale value won't be great but does that even matter when you want to purchase a diamond ring?

That's why if it has a cert, people would hesitate to do anything funny coz you can trace it back.

Whenever you send it to service or whatever, counter check it with the information on the cert to ensure such nonsense does not happen.

Problem is, I don’t do diamonds without certs so it’s hard to tell what dishonest people would do with it

If you’re so afraid of such, get the diamond from big brands like Tiffany or Cartier. Confirm they got no time to swap out your diamond with a fake.

Nothing wrong bout 2~3k rings.

You can find a 0,3 carat in WahChan due to the recent promotion.

Depends on your budget, seriously.
