Or you could buy 1 Tiffany and tell her, look, this one cost a bomb.

So no need another 2 rings la.

Daily use unlikely to wear diamond unless she works at some uber high end place.

In fact, I don't see anyone in my office wearing a diamond ring to work ( except for one but that's because she's engaged. Once married will probably switched to a wedding band )

So, try my suggestion instead.

She'll probably like something from tiffany, then you can tell her you buy for her one expensive one can already.

No need so many coz won't use laugh.gif

But if you fail, prepare to lose more than 7k tongue.gif

She already like 0.31 carat diamond.

You think she will settle for a plain gold ring for that price? laugh.gif

Once you open the flood gate, high chance you won't escape paying that much tongue.gif

Gold bar = yes.

Gold ring = no.

There's a difference between the price for gold and gold ring.

Now I have no idea which to choose. Was given a few choices namely,

D&P Estrella
G VS2 3EX 0.41 RM7900
D VS1 3EX 0.412 RM10135
G VS1 3EX 0.386 RM7600

Lazare (Degem)
I VS1 Ideal 0.35 RM7600
G VS2 Ideal 0.35 RM8000

Which one to take? and How good is Lazare's cert compared to GIA?
Good thing about Estrella is that the ring comes in platinum while lazare is 18k White Gold.

I'd go GIA any day of the week.

Side note : For a 10k budget, you can sacrifice a little in terms of size and go get a Tiffany.

Overrated brand yes, but the stones are usually pretty good and the Tiffany setting is in Plat.

Roughly 10~12k can get you one laugh.gif

Smallest stone is about 0.18 and largest would be around 0,3-ish if you are willing to sacrifice a little on the clarity/color.

Haha true also. But i'm trying to control the budget as the proposal package (or so i call it) is done at tokyo. So i have to factor in the costs etc.

Oh ya what about the hemera diamonds? Not sure about certs but the 101 facets looks pretty promising as normal round brilliant only has 57 faces.

No idea about Hemera, thou I saw some of their rings which looked pretty sweet.

I only followed Tiff and Cartier's products so I can't provide any advice other than choosing the ring that she likes the most within your budget tongue.gif

Define reasonable? laugh.gif

Color F should be okay.

VVS1 also not too shabby.

If it's certified by GIA, should be no problem much.

I am not a diamond expert, so for me, what's acceptable maybe not acceptable for others.

Most importantly, your GF like the ring or not?

If yes, go ahead and don't think too much about it.

You maybe can get better deals out there but if she don't like it, no point as well :/
