Guys, if i gonna spend RM10k on a proposal ring, is it necessary for me to get another ring for wedding?

I am not sure how this engagement ring and wedding ring works.

For your fiance u need a proposal ring, For your wife you need a wedding band..
So yes normally its 2 rings..
Unless she say its fine to have just one ring.

For engagement proposal, is it necessary to get diamond ring or any simple ring will do?
*
It really depends on your girlfriend..
I have a friend who proposed with a pandora ring and she was happy .. BUT of course that doesnt apply to every girl out there.
a diamond ring is smth u probably give once in your life . it signifies a lot.
If you can afford why not , your gf /future fiance will be happy
It need not be a big diamond .. u can also get a diamond ring at RM1k plus

Hi guys, what do you think of this?

18K Yellow / White Gold
Diamond - 0.30ct
E,F color; VS1 clarity
Triple Excellents
Fluorescence None
*
Looks good. Colorless range.
VS1 is not obvious to naked eye so colour is more importnt.
Check HCA as well if u want a good diamond it shud be 2 n below.

E/VS2,
3Ex,
None Fluorescence

What about this? I read some article but i still not sure what i should look for when getting a ring.

This specs look decent..check HCA also to check if its below 2.0 then you are good to go..


Here are the diamond colour charts.
If you want BIG then go for lower colour n clarity...GHIK coloursStill quite common..

If you want WHITE DIAMOND then go for DEF Colours hence E is a good colour..

If your GF collects diamonds then she would prob want the best D FL / IF


Really depends on your girl..
Personally i would only go for DEF colours n IF or VVS1/VVS2 but of course it comes with price tag

To be frank a lot of girls dont know bout diamonds so go for DEFGHI colours (so that your diamond doesnt look yellowish)
and
Clarity u can go for lower than u save more money.. VS2 is fine.. its not obvious to the naked eye.. only if u do it 10X u will see the flaws.. Most girls wont care..

So u need to ask if your future fiance is diamond savvy?
if she isnt u can sacrifice on the clarity go for VS2 then u can save more money n go for bigger carat size and colour..
Some girls dont even care about colour of the diamond ..
i have a fren who got a K colour VS2 1 carat but looks yellowish in pictures..but she likes that its BIG ..

Hi, what do you mean by no cert diamond?

Btw, u guys know any cheaper brands in the market for diamond ring? Budget around 3-4k. biggrin.gif
*
Normally diamonds below 0.30 carat has no certification. No serial number. You just have to trust the jeweller for the colour, clarty etc..
with a cert its a peave of mind of what u are getting.

Go to Wah chan midvalley or one utama ..choose your own diamond and choose ur own setting.. can get 3-4k

What about My Diamond and SK? I saw they put on promo banner sometimes, from 2099 or smtg, but didn't go in and ask cz gf is around. Are these 2 brands good? smile.gif
*
I have friends buy from these brands before.. but if u start to study about diamonds u can compare lets say for same specs lets say 0.30 D VS1 n u go to few shops n ask how much it would cost .. Wah chan is consider one of the cheapest .. however if u are looking for brand then u can go for others ..really depends ur gf is brand conscious or want a better quality diamond.. i have frens buying from wah chan 1 carat diamonds coz they are cheap.
If you want a professional advice from a certified GIA gemotologist ..i would recommend look for this" I DO jewellery " on facebook. She doesnt have a physical shop but she is quite well known in the industry . its recommended by my frens n Ling is a very good in choosing the best diamonds . me n my frens buy from her.

H-0.42-SI2-3ex

4500 with white gold ring setting

shld i go for it? im looking to get as big as i can lol
*
If you are looking for just the size then this seems like a good buy ..

H is stil a decent colour.. It really depends on the preference of your other half.
Clarity is not visible to naked eye but colour is.. personally i only like DEF colours the more whiter the diamond is.
Apart from that check the HCA if its 2 n below. coz not all 3EX diamonds is good.

Cert provides authenticity that the diamond is not fake, correct? But I'd say cert or no cert, diamonds don't have that much re-sale value, unlike gold. I stand corrected, though smile.gif
*
yeah cert to check authenticity. At least u know ur diamond isnt swapped when u send to the jewellers hahah
Of course gold have more value in terms of resale value but diamonds is more of a sentimental gift more than for smth to resell in future.
unless someone gf dont mind to be proposed wit a 24/22k gold ring/ bar instead of a diamond ring ..

Is there ever a way to ensure that the diamind is not swapped? Can't engrave anything on it, can it?
*
u need to have diamond with certs in order for this not to happen coz like diamonds with gia certs have the number engraved on the diamond so u can make sure to check everytime
