That suck. I would walk off as well if they told me that.
They did show me with scope and etc. For me that will be the only time I will see that stone in scope so I didn't bother that much. Just get the best within my budget. My wife also have small hand and a .4 really look big on her hand  |

QUOTE(isaactham @ Jun 29 2015, 12:51 PM) That's quite cool. I like the 4 prongs too.. but some of my female friends say 6 prongs nicer... in a dilemma now.. Hi Isaactham,Is there any advantage/disadvantage? Haiz.. I still haven't decide on the diamond and already stuck at the setting design   When I bought my engagement ring for my fiance, the sales person told me that "prongs" are essentially like fingers that is holding the diamond. It is like a protective measure e.g. the more prongs that is holding the diamond, the more secure it is for you and your pocket .Usually jeweler will recommend the 4 prongs or more to ensure the security of the diamond. That said, I have seen some really nice 3 prongs setting design as well. Personally I went for the 6 prongs classic tiffany settings as well. Many girls love the tiffany setting, my fiance included. Attached is the 6 prongs setting which I have opted. Hope this helps. EJ Attached thumbnail(s)

He bought in Aussie Dollar, so can't really judge from Malaysia though, but the spec is definitely cheaper than any shop, around 10% to 20% cheaper0.7+ carat VVS1 Class D That's what I know. Cause he's brother in law, so he worried if I knew the price, I will let my sister know. @_@ |

I also notice Blue Nile price is like 10-20% cheaper than local retail shops also... just a bit hassle have to collect from Singapore. :\ |

QUOTE(isaactham @ Jun 30 2015, 03:31 PM) There are better websites that bluenile. I looking at James Allen also, but price seem not very cheap if compare to Blue Nile.Bluenile don't have any photos of the diamonds and blindly sell them themselves. https://www.diamonds.pro/site-reviews/blue-nile/ You can consider James Allen or Whiteflash. I find them to have better quality control and they have photos of the diamond. Personally, I will prefer to see the diamond before I buy. Personally think for high range cut should be ok. I can see those who complain about Blue Nile purchased SI 1 / SI 2, somehow I already set a smaller stone, but only VVS2 and above. Does it worth to go "Platinum" for the ring? |

QUOTE(swabe13 @ Aug 6 2015, 11:02 AM) How come the price difference is so much? Ops typo. It's Rm10338. Tomei is most expensive I think. Typo error??Did you check the HCA score for it? Or you can share the GIA certificate no. Recently I've been to a few other jewelries like SK, Bliz and Love & co. Most of them carry IGI cerf but just not many GIA only. They told me that IGI is much better than GIA and it only provides to those ideal cut diamond which is better than GIA 3ex. Love and Co is more expensive than SK so far. It's so confusing right now.

QUOTE(swabe13 @ Aug 6 2015, 03:00 PM) That's not true... The top 2 certificate is GIA and AGS. Certificates likes IGI and EGL are known to have looser standards. By right, if you compare an IGI and GIA diamond of the same grades, the IGI will always be cheaper because of the lower standard. Stick with GIA or AGS safer. It really depends on the quality of the diamond you're looking at.. And you better check if the diamond is really an "Ideal Cut" as what they claim. Most of them just anyhow say. Yeah. I have been using HCA tool to check the diamond and found out many of them don't even know about it. Most of the diamond I found scores at 1.3-1.6 by using the IGI cerf info . I'll be going to KL to survey more since most jb jewellers carry IGI cerf. ASET scope is that the one they provide in the store? Besides, I want to find out actually how expensive tiffany & co and cartier are. You can start by using the HCA tool to check the diamond score http://www.pricescope.com/tools/hca From there, you will roughly know if the diamond proportions are good. Then you will need the ASET scope to check the light performance  This post has been edited by tcken: Aug 6 2015, 11:30 PM |

QUOTE(swabe13 @ May 28 2015, 03:42 PM) I've been contacting Jannpaul over email and shortlisted these 2 diamonds to save time. They're very prompt in their replies. Hi Swabe13,I'm visiting their store next week to see the diamonds but want to prepare for any possible qns. The 2 diamonds I shortlisted are around the same price. Will you go for the E VVS2 or D VS1? Both are their Super Ideal Cut range. I checked on http://www.pricescope.com/tools/hca The 0.42 E VVS2 HCA score is 1.4. The 0.41 D VS1 has a better HCA score 1.0. One is GIA, the other is AGS. I read both are good and comparable. AGS looks abit more impressive to me.. maybe cos it looks bigger and got more details. Should I go for GIA or AGS? Any tips or questions I need to prepare when I'm there?   I've been looking on JannPaul diamonds as well. Do you mind sharing how much do they quote you on the above 2 diamonds? What kind of information do we need to provide them when we first email them for inquiries? (eg. desired diamond specs, budget etc.) Thanks. ritctze |
