Nope...u juz gotta nego, price tag and actual offered are of big difference.
But many shops saying the same thing, that price will be up after GST

I have 4 spec of diamond ring which the SA from Wah Chan given me to choose.

0.31ct/D/VS2/3EX - RM3799
0.36ct/F/VS2/3EX - RM3980
0.36ct/E/VS2/3EX - RM4160
0.37ct/D/VS2/3EX - RM4590

All come with 18K WG band and GIA cert.

still thinking which to choose.

i would go for 0.36ct@RM3980, based on the info you provided.

Only small premium over 0.31, and D/E/F consider colourless.

Thanks for the reply.

I think I will go for 0.36ct/E
Just top up a bit

Tiffany will to hover the loose diamond which is not purchase from them?

thanks for answer.

Hi everyone, in the market to get a proposal ring before GST hits us on the head. I was recently quoted for a loose diamond:

Carat: 0.40
Color: G
Clarity: VS2
Price: RM3890 (Just the diamond)
+ 18k WG ring: RM4280

What do you guys think? I am actually looking for that classic Tiffany 6 prongs ring setting but they don't have it I might just get the diamond and find the ring elsewhere. I found the perfect looking ring somewhere but that would set me back a little over RM2k just for the ring!

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for proposal ring now, the spec im currently aiming for is
Carat: 0.5-0.55 carat
Color: D-F, mayb G oso
Clarity: VS1/VS2

how much would that normally cost me for local dealer? for 6 prong setting ?
and how much would it cost me for luxury brand like T&C, Cartier, BLVGARI etc

Btw, I heard from some sales advisor said they have superior cut and super superior, make me wondering, I oways tot 3EX was the best already.

What you guys think of this


Lazare
.47
I colour
VS2
RM9850.00

Considering just because of the cut

Hi guys,
Need some advise...

Poh Kong (Hemera 101 cut)- All come with 18k WG and IGI cert
0.47CT/F/VS2/3EX -RM7780
0.47CT/F/VS1/3EX -RM7880
0.41CT/F/VVS1/3EX -RM7280


Good deal? understand Wah Chan might be cheaper, but my gf got mention not really like Wah Chan

Go look around...

Try n buy color D, Internally Flawless (IF) grade from Wah Chan, GIA certified... they do have some good deal, engraving I will do it with Diamond n Platinum, around RM20 for 10 characters, laser method. Buy asap, diamond price is going up pretty soon...

You may go and nix some deal with them... the price above deal is not so good justify from the diamond they offer. Not sure on the wg part as in hw the design and hw many gram...

Bro, just look at your comment, I already you know are " experienced " and smart enough!

That is the difference between man and young woman, young woman always easily distorted by "branding effect", quite a number of my female friends do have the same problem. How many of them know the differences between diamond and setting?

They won't mind what kind of stone you bought as long as BIG[SIZE=7] enough and most importantly is what brand [SIZE=7]of the whole solitaire.

So in order to meet both needs, I always recommend the man please purchase the diamond and setting separately[SIZE=7] with different shops if your partners are those characteristic as I said.

However, once the women get elder become aunty, they will grow more smartly and towards the brand like Wah Chan, Poh Kong rather than this brandy merchandisers. That is the reason you always see a number of aunty always like to go this traditional brand jewellery shop! haha

"Be smart and save more for higher value" !

LoL ...

Coz Diamond D color Internally Flawless is like 1 over 10 diamonds can be found... Perfect Hearts and Arrows, when u look under the scope, it amazed and dazzle the person you wish to impress of...

If want BIG and cheap, go for F or G H etc colors, no matter how big, the value is just "stuck" there... Not much of resale/sub-sale value... But a D color IF, it can shoot up anytime as diamond is not available everywhere...

For those who wish to grab a propose ring with MORE options, try Blue Nile. You need someone in SG or nearby place for them(trusted friends/relatives) to receive and ship to you, i don think they ship to Malaysia (as per my knowledge, maybe they do now). Can customized and many knowledge you may gain from the following link.

Link: www.bluenile.com


Hemera, Solitaire, Eternity, Estrella ... all just branding, certification is about the same from GIA...

Diamond is still diamond, gold is still gold... You only buying the brand and the design of it ^^ juz my 2 cents...

How about 1 carat, VSS2, 3EX and heart and arrows but K colour?

Bit yellowish le... for what purpose?

Aiya, better buy diamoney d ... artificial diamonds, sell in major airports...

Or better grab a corundum, quartz, or even a sapphire... but sapphire can be more xxpensinve then diamond...

I just assume the cutting is triple excellent, this price is quite

You mean it's good crazy or crazily bad?

if the cutting is triple excellent is still acceptable due to ringgit significantly depreciation. If the cutting is not the best, the price seem like not competitive enough.

Does anyone have experience customizing your ring at Wah Chan? Their current designs are not to my taste.

But looking at their existing ring selections, it seems to me that their craftmanship isn't top notch. Whereas Tomei offers the Le Lumiere range where the rings are immaculately crafted but are 2.5x more from the price of Wah Chan.

Both are 18k white gold.
