Any idea how many carats i can get or any suggestions based on my budget? Thanks. U may want to get white/yellow gold and get a nicer stone. U maybe looking at ~0.3ct, G/H color, VS1 or VS2, excellent or ideal cut. don't know buying online is taxable, but prices are generally better online even after shipping. |

U maybe looking at ~0.3ct, G/H color, VS1 or VS2, excellent or ideal cut. don't know buying online is taxable, but prices are generally better online even after shipping. abit confuse.  |

QUOTE(arthur5011 @ Apr 4 2010, 11:57 AM) Hi All, just a personal view....i plan to get a propose ring.. but out of so many jewellery shop in MY & SG, i have 4 shop in my mind.. but i not sure which 1 carry more reliable stone. hope you all can give me some advice. shop in my mind as below: Lee Hwa @ SG - they have Destinee series Sookee Jewellery (Brilliant Rose) @ SG - i haven't visit the 1 at Pavilion. Gold Hearts @ SG - they have Celestial series which MY dun have Love & co @ MY - nothing much special. DeGem @ MY - they are doing GIA promotion now. as my understanding, Lee Hwa, Sookee Jewellery, Gold Hearts are quite established company in SG, but how bout DeGem? because the price they offer me now is really tempting its not like your future wife gonna compare her ring with her friends all the time. so without diamonds placing side by side for comparison viewing, therefore, its physical size & color is hard to tell. i'd say buy the rock with 1st priority on its Size and fits within your budget. normally girls likes it big.... |

QUOTE(shinoxun @ Oct 11 2014, 10:10 AM) Which means the stone are sold separately? Yes. Stone and ring sold separately . Tiffany setting ring,izit as the picture? but ofcourse la,the stone definitely not that large. As tiffany setting they showed me was the 4 Trong type. Solitaire ring. The stone is value for money in my opinion. Compare to the offer by tomei, habib is selling cheaper by 1.5 to 2k. Saw a few stone which I will summarise here. 0.34c, F, VS2, 3ex =rm 2999 0.40c, E, S1, 2ex, 1vg =rm 4888 0.40c, G, S1,3ex = rm4400 Will need bigger ring for 0.4c stone. Basically, u can conclude that 0.3c ring cost you around rm500, 0.4c will ost you around 1k. |

QUOTE(ivanleow @ Nov 24 2014, 09:56 PM) Hello bro & Sis , DeGem and DP are from the same parent company. In short they are targeting different range of clients. DeGem diamond (Lazarre - known as one of the famous diamond) is way expensive than DP (Foremark and Estrella).. If you have more budget (>RM10K) then you may consider DeGem.Want to ask you all , which brand of Diamond ring is better ? I saw a lot of ppl taking about DeGem .
