Hi Sifus,

Wan to get some opinions from you guys as I was quote 7333 for 0.43 carat, VS2 , G color and ideal cut from love and co...is this price fair enuf?

Thks in advance for your kind advice!

Hi guys! Got anybody bought Tiffany & Co engagement ring before? Within 12k can get 0.5crt ring? Just normal VVS2, H is enough. Please advice. Thank you

Abbie.Shoobs@Tiffany.com. I do all major purchases through her. Drop her an email with your budget and specs. She will send over a list of the diamonds in stock. Will be shipped from US.

Hi all

I'm new here and just a follower of this topic cos i like to know the latest prices of the diamonds in the market.

Just to share with u guys that my husband just bought me a simple ring forevermark 0.53ct G VS2 3ex for rm10,800.

I did some surveys for lose diamonds cos i'm thinking of buying one as a reward to myself if i got promoted (if HR agrees la i guess), good bonus and for delivering my baby (I'm due this early Dec ). But im not planning to buy it really soon, still taking my time to window shop until i get the best bargain price.
(hehe that's the different using husband and own money)

This is what i've got throughout my recent surveys;

Wah Chan
GIA 0.70 VVS2 F 3Ex rm15,000.00
GIA 0.71 VS2 F 3Ex rm13,000.00
GIA 0.82 VVS E 3Ex rm19,150.00
GIA 0.81 VS2 F 3Ex rm15,500.00
GIA 0.80 VVS E 3Ex rm19,500.00
GIA 0.80 VVS E 3Ex rm16,300.00

And i think Degem has this 0.99ct GIA cert fancy-cut promotion starting from rm15,000.00. 8-18 August but i think they are extending it. Its for those who would like to buy different diamond shape other than the conventional round shape.

heard that DIamond Platinum is having 20% discount for diamond rings. any other shops having discount/promo now?

Hey guys....for RM2.5-RM3K...do you think its okay...for a proposal ring...?

Buy something you can afford and within your budget. If 2.5-3K is your budget then get something in that price range.

Hmm hmm...well...true. I'd rather use the extra money for a comfy future for my partner and me

With that budget I would go for Lazare..

It is now 2 years later and while I would expect the price for the same specs to be higher than RM2550 as paid by jackson041104, it should not be more than 25% higher.

Today, I went to survey some shops including Poh Kong, Habib, Diamond & Platinum and a few others before going to Wah Chan. Places like Poh Kong have an sticker price of RM6,800 for slightly better specs and a few others even more than RM8K. At those prices, I know there is no point haggling because my budget is no more than RM4K (around RM3.5K actually). Actually I am curious, typically by how many % can you haggle down those sticker prices?

When I was at Habib, I saw the exact specs for the diamond ONLY at RM3360.

Anyway, I went to Wah Chan and the exact specs sticker price for diamond ONLY is about RM4500. Of course, I told the salesman that it is too expensive and ask him to discount. He brought it down to RM3,800 but it is still too high. I then told him that two years ago, my friend got the white gold ring and diamond with the exact specs for about RM2700. And I even told him that Habib is selling their diamond ONLY at RM3360 but still the lowest he can do for diamond ONLY is RM3700. Ring is additional RM500 from what he told me.

Guys, anyone has any tips for Wah Chan. Anyone gone to Wah Chan recently and got a very good bargain from there?

I am disappointed that I can't even get about RM3500 for a ring and diamond of the same specs as jackson041104 when it is only 2 years since.
