Haha I got that image from the net boss.

I was just about to say no to Blue Nile but they upgraded their online store with a 360-degree video. Macam not bad.

Proportion wise, need sifu kambingkoh to do the analysis for you. Those with ASET scope I think very straightforward. The more red the merrier.

You got consider James Allen ahh bro? Their True Hearts series quite ok also. Can take a look.

Now ok. Last time each diamond only has a sample photo and certificate. Not even a picture of the real thing.

Ohh I didn't know that! Only Idealscope images are available on display. If you need an ASET scope image, you can chat them up and request for one.

This one the Idealscope image looks awful.

Skip.

It seems that they changed their SOP.

Well then, no luck with James Allen bro. No ASET = no go, at least for me.

Just got my ring today. Seriously, JannPaul's workmanship really is awesome! They got every minute detail on the ring spot on. Couldn't ask for more.

The last they told me they no longer accept setting customisation for diamonds not from their outlet. But you can ask them and see lahh. If you are serious with it I can also help you ask.

Sorry, don't wanna reveal too much here.

Yea man. Some crazy things happened at the /Kopitiam subforum recently so I am more reserved with sharing personal information in LYN.

Time for me to share some of my humble knowledge.





All the above are diamonds with triple excellent cut, polish and symmetry from James Allen. For comparison purposes, all 3 are 0.60 D VS2.

Left: Senget arrows at southeast, south and northwest positions. Missing arrows at east and west positions.
Centre: Senget arrows at north, south and northwest positions. Missing arrows at east position.
Right: All 8 arrows are missing.



The above 2 diamonds are taken from James Allen's True Hearts series, which are also given the GIA triple excellent grade for cut, polish and symmetry.

As you can see, the 8 arrows are aligned and there are no missing arrows, which is an indication of highly symmetrical diamonds.

So there you go bro. GIA's excellent cut are defined rather loosely. So you need to really look at the physical diamonds with the aid of scopes to determine its real cut quality and not anyhow trust what you see on paper.



With that being said, the analysis does not stop there. You need to view its hearts from the bottom as well and see if they look fine.

As for light performance, we have the ASET scope, but I will come to that later bro, after you have digested the above information.

Wow, what the fook man?! That's terrible. Was the resizing even done by a qualified craftsman?

Ohh my goodness, your wedding band is seriously in a sorry state after the resize.



Was it bought in the same outlet at The Gardens? Have you voiced your displeasure right there and then once you saw the terrible job? This is really unacceptable man!

I see also cannot accept man. If I were you, for sure I will rage in their store.

What do you plan to do next?

Edit:

That's bull crap man. Why do you need to top up the difference when it is CLEARLY their mistake for this mess?? Plus, genuine diamonds will get scratched so easily kahh? The sales guy is treating you like a fool bro, seriously.

When we, the consumers give them pressure, the standard reply is always "The management is aware of this..." or "We have feedback your queries to the management..."

It's always THE MANAGEMENT. Seriously, straightforward cases like yours also need to refer to THE MANAGEMENT. This is just a case of you fooked up people's ring, you ganti balik lahh, what's so complicated about that man?? Need "FINAL APPROVAL" some more, what the hell?? If I am not wrong, they themselves admitted that it was a fooked up job right? They admitted means they know that they are in the wrong, then clean up that shit lahh, what else??? Ini pun kena tanya mama kahh???

Niamahfoolat, the more I read their reply, the more dulan I become. If I were you, seriously I will go down to their outlet and create a scene there man!

Anyway, what was their reply when you asked them for the name if the person-in-charge?

Finally they are willing to offer you a fooking refund! Take the money and bolt from that place man. New ring my ASS! I wouldn't even want it even if it is free. Once bitten twice shy. Try private jewellers instead.

Wise choice! All the best bro.

Aren't those SOPs for jewellery stores?



No offense, but this is the problem with Malaysian consumers. They are just too easily satisfied with anything and everything. Kasi a bit tim tau sudah happy until macam dapat 90% discount.

I went to Goldheart @ Midvalley during the initial stages of my diamond hunt, and I have to say that it was not a pleasant experience.
