  Just got a proposal ring as well! Can't wait to pop a question! one more week.  The process of choosing the perfect ring is so much harder than expected but when you finally find the right one, you'll know.  This post has been edited by The Analyst: Dec 11 2012, 05:52 PM |

QUOTE(NewbieBetta @ Dec 11 2012, 06:32 PM) need some help, how can I get the correct size from my girl for her not to notice that im gettng her a ring? For me, i just measured one of her old rings she's got lying around. If not, ring shops will usually re-size the ring for you if it doesn't fit so that's not a problem.

QUOTE(NewbieBetta @ Dec 11 2012, 09:27 PM) seems like she dint own a ring  QUOTE(sunnychai99 @ Dec 11 2012, 10:28 PM) U need to let them know ur gf height n weight n size.. Then the experience sale person wil let u know.. Height and weight? lol didn't know that. I don't even know my girlfriend's weight. lol  Added on December 11, 2012, 7:47 pm Wow.. Nice .. Plan a romantic n surprise will be added on bonus for every gal ..  QUOTE(evilhomura89 @ Dec 11 2012, 11:17 PM) How much is this? QUOTE(deodorant @ Dec 12 2012, 12:17 AM) I'd wager a guess it's rm20k or more. Yeah.. it's more than RM20k unfortunately. Size-wise it looks like at least a 1ct. T&C doesn't sell the lower grade diamonds, theirs are all pretty impressive CCC-wise. Non-premium branded rings are already rm10k+ for 0.5ct, what more a 1ct T&C Anyway I was digging around my photos archive and I found a photo of the diamond that I bought for my fiancee a year ago (photograped and emailed to me by the seller lol). » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « 0.6Ct only.  That is a beautiful diamond deodorant. Love the hearts and arrows.  |

QUOTE(Matt21 @ Dec 20 2012, 02:23 AM) no pic ler, and that one is loose diamond only without the ring, actually me and my friend went together and he got this one Okok. Wah Chan prices are lower. Maybe bring your 5k budget to a few shops and see what you can get then decide from there. See if size, color or clarity is more important to you.me still looking for ''the one''  and my budget only around 5k, can anyone recommend me? for myself i would prefer 0.5 at least, color and clarity i need to let go one either as my budget is low..and so far i found wah chan is cheaper lah...  the SA recommend me take loose diamond GIA 3EX 0.5 D SI1 rm5k thanks ya |

QUOTE(sunghajung11 @ Dec 29 2012, 09:31 PM) guys need help on some questions. It really is up to you. Engagement ring is usually the more fancy one and the wedding band is the simple one that you wear daily. Best to wear a non diamond one in Malaysia. Some girls just prefer one to save money, some prefers two. Getting loose diamonds might be cheaper. I have friends getting it from Blue Nile diamonds and then look for a ring to set the diamond on.proposal ring can it be wedding ring? straight buy one pair then no need buy again? anyone doing this way? Thank you. also around 2to3k can get one pair platinum? a lil diamond mayb? THanks again |

QUOTE(FCM100 @ Jan 6 2013, 01:01 PM) Previously got ppl shared he bought it at Rm2550 for this spec! Not sure how he got it.. Maybe he got it at a sale, or he is really good at haggling. I usually just leave my requirements with the jeweler; i tell them the specs of the 4Cs i require and my budget and tell them to give me a call when they find one that fits. Alternatively, why don't you look for loose diamonds instead? Then look for the ring. It might be cheaper.  |

QUOTE(K2002 @ Jan 7 2013, 01:29 AM) engagement ring must be diamond? can get ruby or sapphire or not? my gf like pink. i think sapphire should be good. i wonder if there is any pink diamond? It's up to the couple. Nobody sets these rules anyway. Yeah there are pink diamonds but i am not sure how common it is in Malaysia and i heard it is very expensive. Look for those from the Argyle Diamond Mine in Australia. The color is really nice. |

QUOTE(FCM100 @ Jan 11 2013, 02:05 AM) Hmm..you bought your engagement this way also? Choose loose diamonds then ring? Any recommend? For mine, I gave them the specs I want and the price I am willing to pay and just told them to give me a call when they find one. Waited two weeks for the perfect one. Don't need to rush, takes time to find. I think most jewelers sells loose diamonds. Try asking around the few usual jeweler shops then you will get an idea of the prices bro. |

QUOTE(MelForC3 @ Jan 21 2013, 12:51 PM) guys, I think it's alright, if you compare it to sunghajung11's diamond. There is a cert as well so that's pretty good. Which shop is that from? Any pictures of the design? Remember to save some money for the wedding band as well. need an advice for 0.35ct colour: F clarity: VVS2 Triple Ex with GIA Cert incluse 18k white gold ring : RM 3400 is it ok for that price? I just got a wedding band yesterday, costs of the wedding getting out of control.  This post has been edited by The Analyst: Jan 21 2013, 05:42 PM |

Didnt take any picture >.<" im from Penang anyway QUOTE(danekhoo @ Jan 22 2013, 06:43 PM) Anyone here bought form BlueNile before? What do you think of purchasing the loose diamonds from there? I don't think they ship to Malaysia though but i do know they ship to Singapore. |

QUOTE(danekhoo @ Jan 29 2013, 03:56 AM) Wah Chan quoted me the following specs with a RM 5.6k pricetag. Looks good bro. Quite worth it. 0.41 carat colour: D clarity: VVS2 Triple Ex with GIA Cert 18k white gold ring What do you guys think about the specs and price? QUOTE(BboyDora @ Jan 30 2013, 07:26 PM) actually how do you all determined the description of the proposal ring? the sales person will show you? Wah Chan might be your best bet. There are 4Cs you should look out for when choosing a diamond ring. Color, Cut, Clarity and Carat. See which is most important to you then take it from there. Don't be taken in by sweet sales talk. Take your time to look around and visit a few shops at least then see which is the the most suitable. Actually Im looking for a proposal ring which is range RM 1.5k or below (not a rich guy here and my gf don't like jewelry, so its doesnt matter) which place recommended and what should I look for in a ring.? I saw there is description you guys (colors , carat etc etc) mention but how do I determine it. (I`m zero knowledge about jewelry) Thanks   |
