I agree can hardly get RM10k diamond ring from T&C.

You can consider purchasing wedding bands from T&C / Cartier , and the diamond ring go to the reliable GIA shop like Degem or if you have humble budget , go to Wah Chan.

Folks, need your advice..
I went to Poh Kong, they promoted the below engagement ring for me :
Carat - 0.34
Clarity - vs2
Color - G
Certified by IGI lab
RM3380
They said it's hemera diamond with 101 facets

And I went to Love & co, they proposed me :
Carat - 0.25
Color - F
Clarity - VS2
RM3300

Which want would you choose?

Thanks!

I think in this case , I'll choose Poh Kong one. Size does matter in this case as our eyes can't visualize the difference between color F & G , but size we can differentiate. However , is both triple ex ? Why not take a GIA cert diamond ? Wah Chan and Degem most diamond is certified by GIA.

Love & co is triple excellent, since its below 0.3 carat so no GIA certificate.
For Poh Kong, need to double confirm on the cutting, should be triple excellent. They used IGI lab to certify, is this lab as good as GIA?
*
I am not expert enough to say which lab is good or bad. But in term of diamond , I will say GIA certification is more stringent than IGI , e.g. if GIA grade it as class F , IGI might grade it at as D or E (which is less strict). smile.gif

Is it Wah chan only sell those affordable ring (for me la.. Hehe)? (rm 1k to 2k). How about Poh kong and My diamond?
That day I went to see see... Most of it sell those high end propose ring. They ask me and I tell them bout my intention, they straight show me those expensive one and say "this is our lower range" .
*
Just tell them your budget and request them to hunt the right size , right specs for you.

Wah Chan sells to some Datin also but they do have wide selection of diamonds for you to choose smile.gif

Hi everyone,

I am having a tough time deciding which ring to get and i would greatly appreciate your advice and views on this. Here are the 3 options:

Forevermark: 0.78 ct, E, VS2, 3 excellent
Love & Co: 0.74 ct, E, VS1, ideal cut (diamond looks like 0.8 because of the cut)
DeGem GIA: 0.9 ct, E, SI1, 3 Excellent

Assuming there are all about the same price, which one should i get? Appreciate some advice here since you ladies seem more experience than i do. Thanks!
*
Go for the 0.9 carat one. Size does matter.

hahaha thanks, Fooj.

That's what i thought. Initially we had our minds fixed on 0.9 until we saw LOve & Co. Becuase it is Ideal cut it looks so shiny and big. Forvermark is RM20k, ), DeGem and Love & Co about RM23k+. I'm really torn in between
*
Too bad it's not from same shop , or else u can do comparison side-by-side. I still think 0.9 one better deal.

Is it very difficult to find 0.9 carat diamond these days? i went to many stores and they dont have 0.9ct and i was told 0.9 is very rare these days cos it is close to 1ct they might as well cut it into 1ct and sell it for double the price.
*
0.8-0.9 is not that common.

Not necessary. Depends what design you chose.

So far i went to search from Poh Kong, Tomei, Wah Chan, D&P, lazare diamond and degem, wah chan deal seems to be the best follow by poh kong... wah chan got a lot of ring frame design from clasic to those that copy tiffany n so on...

I am actually looking for this spec:-

Color F or G
Clarity VS 1 or 2
Cut 3x excelent
carat 0.50 to 0.60

Any one come across any shop with this good deal...
*
Try Degem Bangsar smile.gif
