Try out Devnani's in Publika, the place i got my wife's ring from. Any design you want, he will be able to make.
Find a design online and then give it to him, he will do it based on your budget. 10k can get you a pretty decent rock. He will also spend a long time educating you on diamonds.

Out of the 4 Cs, the ones you should really care for are Cut, Carat and Color. A good cut gives out that nice shine, a good colour determines if hte diamond is whitish or yellowish and the carat is of course, the size.

Can you provide more detail about this. Thx

Just been to Diamond platinum Sg Wang to scout. Not really pro for the sales lady just call me look even I insist for recommendation i give of my rough budget 10k - 20k (haven't fine tune it as I have zero knowledge of diamond ring) Forevermark and Estella or something, at 15% discount for all year long (is this rate the lowest or I still can nego for more?) What if I pay by cash can I get more discount? Is GIA grading is better than forevermark in house grading? Coz when I mention GIA grading she keep her mouth shut and just mention Forevermark is a international brand from London.

Will be heading out to Midvalley soon as there have more jewelry outlet. Shall report more on my 3 month jewelry hunting for my beloved.

Typical sales lady. All these shops will always tell you about how their diamonds are cut in this way and that way and give you some kinda grading system which is total BS. Only Wah Chan didnt try selling me some kinda marketing jargon.

Only go for GIA if you want certification and nothing else. Every single GIA-certified diamond has a code and every single code will show your diamond on its website http://www.gia.edu/. But if you wanna save some cash, you dont even need certification if the rock is really good.

Trust me, after MidValley, pay a visit to Devnani. He is inside Publika, upstairs. Dont have to buy from them, just talk to Jay and ask him to educate you. He wont even push you to buy if you dont want to, so no loss to go and see, really.
*
Bro which side of publika which block (ABCD) shall visit this shop since you give a good recommendation. Is Devnani is the shop name?

they offer me another option for:
Diamond Platinum
Carat : 0.36
Clarity : vs2
Color : F
Cutting : 3ex

RM5800
*
hmm.gif after discounted price? If comparing you need to use the magnify glass to check the impurity coz this VS2 so if you can accept the dot then try nego to 5500 or atleast 5600/5700. So far this is much better than the previous as this bigger carat and better color.


Which branch you go better look for few shop bro. From Jan til now i still looking for the ring haha. Other brand you also have to scout scount

Yes those price list out is discounted price. I had visit Wah Chan, Love & Co and Diamond Platinum.
Wah chan offer lower price compare with DP and LC (With almost same spec).  While LC is most expensive compare with DP & WC.
*
I believe LC have a better style compare to the rest but it seem there are not that good with after sales service.
Poh kong not bad with pricing it seem, why not check it out as well. If you are in the budget of 5k why not head to Tiffany & Co (every girl dream) TC have the best after sales service.

Yea with diamond as well I been there and seen it. But dont expect a big big diamond. Tiffany Setting RM5350 Tiffany Harmony RM5800 this is the 2 that i seen. If your lucky girl is not really care about how big the diamond is then go for it.

Is those ring with GIA or IGI ?
*
T&C above 1 carat only got certificate. DP and LC not all product got GIA or IGI mostly is in house rating. Are you intend to sell ? At first I very keen on having GIA OR IGI when we say this most sales person know we are water fish and naive 1. If you are buying a single 1carat stone (diamond stone) yes certificate is important cost maybe you wan resell or buy to keep for future.

What difference does it made whether its long or short term when it comes to colour?  hmm.gif

well the stone will oxidase hence the color will chg over the times (a very long time) since you are not selling it and buying to wear a long time so better color is much worth
