Got my proposal ring at WahChan MV (opposite Carrefour) . Look for Kenny.
Initially wanted to get Forevermark, but at that time they do not have the F color i was looking for. Only G available. So I head straight to WahChan. Wanna ask, I looked at the ring under magnifier, at the claw holding the diamond, I see the 18k white cold slightly discolor and slight scratches. Probably due to during diamond setting they use the tweezer press press then discolor. Is this normal? |

QUOTE(dryll @ Jan 7 2014, 04:19 PM) There's this place in Publika which has the best prices. I did alot of research, even manged to get staff pricing from Poh Kong and Wah Chan through my bro's friends. Wah Chan was the cheapest, but this guy, Devnani was soooo much cheaper. Fuuuuuuu......29K......For engagement rings, you really need a good white diamond. Keep that in mind. I bought a 3-stone ring (1 carat center stone, F color and 2 0.4 side stones) with diamond dust on the side and it cost me RM29k. The centre stone was GIA certified. [attachmentid=3804848] Find any design you want, and they will be able to replicate it. This design i designed myself. You can check them out here https://www.facebook.com/devnanijewels |

QUOTE(stardust00 @ Feb 22 2014, 12:01 PM) Hi all, Before I bought a proposal ring I was considering Forevermark and WahChan. I decided to go with Wah Chan 0.6,F,VS2,3EX,Non-Flourescent, GIA. 9k. Reason is I don't expect my wife to wear solitaire daily. Does anyone know if all degem lazare diamond are certified in house instead of GIA? Is lazare diamond's ideal cut better than those 3ex by GIA in terms of sparkle and fire or they are just about the same? Any sifu can comment on that? I just started to look for my engagement ring and I'm looking for a ring within 8-10k. My priority would be cut > carat > colour > clarity. I would go for the best cut, colour f to h, clarity vs1 to vs2 and the biggest carat within that budget. Anyone has come across any stones with similar specs? How big carat that I can get for that budget? I was quoted by degem Lazare, ideal cut, 0.42, G, VS1, rm9k Is that worth it? I know I can get better specs in Wah Chan with similar budget. Does the lazare brand name (or because of the ideal cut) justify its price? Thanks Lazard and Forevermark is 25% more for same spec. Regardless how much sparkle you see with your eye, do consider the ring too. Once the diamond is set, it will block some light hence reducing the sparkle. With the money saved I spend on Cartier Trinity Wedding band which we use daily. Unless you have extra cash then both wedding band and proposal ring can be branded.

QUOTE(stardust00 @ Feb 23 2014, 01:16 PM) Haha, your analogy of buying diamond sounds weird to me. Cartier Love 4mm, rm4900 (each)I understand that lazare is more expensive compared to Wah Chan but I wonder is lazare more expensive due to just the brand or the lazare's ideal cut? I personally think that the lazare's ideal cut is not much different from the 3ex cut by GIA. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks for sharing, bro. Seems like one can get 0.6 carat from Wah Chan vs 0.4 from lazare with more or less similar specs and budget. I was told that the lazare is about 20 to 30% more expensive than forevermark. In fact I have same thought too, still considering whether to get the solitaire from poh kong or wah chan and save some money for branded wedding band. Mind to share how much is your cartier trinity? Cartier TRINITY Classic, rm4700 (each) Price for your reference. FYI, Yearly increase of 10% (Malaysia) is coming in March 2014. Get it before March. Initially i wanted to buy it from Cartier Tokyo during my Japan trip, but price revised 10% up in 17 Jan 14. I was there in Feb....sigh.... |

QUOTE(Bobdog86 @ May 6 2014, 12:36 AM) I'm currently looking for an engagement ring budget around 8-10k. I personally like Forevermark and their signature ring. Would Lazare be a better choice compared to Forevermark? How about DP Estrella? But at that time they doesn't have the specific 4c i was looking for.....so i ended up with Wah Chan. I was looking for F color, and 3EX. But at that time they only have G and 2EX. |
