hi, am thinkin of proposing to my gf of 5 years.. i have no idea how.. where to start? what tp get..?

Just surveyed, surprisingly it's cheaper than JP...

1st question , ur budget . let us know ur budget 1st

2. once u got budget , we can sort out which brand u should go for.

3. then bring ur gf to try and let her choose the ring she like .

only this 3 steps

do not buy diamond ring without bringing ur gf there... u sure regret

Lol...paying 20k for 0.4carat ? If u want to get bigger diamond with ur money , don't go for Tiffany la...20k can get at least 0.6 or even 1carat at wahchan or pohkong d...

0.4 max I pay rm4k...

5x ...don't be silly....

Actually I went to JP 3 times already, but each time also can't decide on the settings. Maybe 4th or 5th time will finally pull the trigger

Almost there bro, now just need few more changes then the ring is complete

You buy this from the online store ? What is the damage

My gf prefer Tiffany & Co setting so most probably will go for that

Yea, that's the one. She wants more bling bling from the diamond. I showed her designs in BlueNile but she feels so so only

Once this is decided, need to choose wedding band

Need to plan ahead. Everything also need to budget.

I put 4k/pair

No bro, SGD4k. So far, shortlisted are Bvlgari and Cartier

I'm not sure about the market in SG but consider cheap if you compare dollar to dollar

But for wedding rings, the spec (0.518 E VS2 - Super Ideal Cut) I requested is around SGD4,100 excluding the setting

Hi guys, I'm planning to propose to my GF after almost 8 years being together. After studying about the 4C, I've chosen what should be the best bang for my bucks (hopefully). Would need some help if the below diamond spec and ring setting are reasonably priced? Quotes are from Audreys.

Diamonds:
4.30 - 4.32 x 2.64 mm, 0.30 carat, Color Grade F, Clarity VVS2, Cut : Excellent , HCA score 1.3 : ~RM3450

4.32 - 4.34 x 2.60 mm, 0.30 carat, Color Grade F, Clarity IF, Cut Excellent, HCA score 1.7 : ~RM3661

Ring Settings:
Tiffany 6 prongs solitaire setting, 18k White Gold : ~RM1,200
Tiffany Harmony-like setting (6 prongs) : ~Rm2,500

Does the difference between IF and VVS2 really that obvious to the naked eyes? I mwill request for the idealscope and videos from Audreys. At the meantime, any other good recommendation on other jewelers? Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, usually proposal ring is it must be diamond ring? My gf actually likes gold ring. Something like Lord of the ring - the ring. Haha, anyone knows I can custom make the ring? Thanks for recommending

initially i wanted T&Co too. went to the shop and sales person wasnt that great. im not willing to spend a fortune to pay for someones commission when the service is poor.
if budget is not a concern, i recommend de beers.
i might get a 0.25ct from blue nile and 1 ct from wah chan. two rings because my work requires hand washing at least 10 times a day lol.
also, i recommend to do some research on the 4Cs. carat is the least important of all. as for other Cs, no point getting above a certain threshold (where naked eye cannot differentiate). i
i too learned about HCA score on this thread. many thanks! happy marriage everyone

most asians like us have small hands (and fingers). get a rock size that compliment her finger size. for example, my ring finger is european 46. a 0.25ct looks best. anything more than that makes me looks rough...

Hello people. I'm not the only girl who leave a reply right? Browse through some of the pages and realized I know nuts about diamond even though I'm a girl. I started to survey around when bf said lets get married. He's the one who paying but I'm the one who wear the ring so I don't want him to waste money on something I don't like. At the end, he's the one who chosen all the rings and I love them so much.

I have bad taste.

I went to almost all shops in klang valley. I can only remember that few engagement rings I like and really attract me. Sharing my experience and viewpoint, decision is yours and depends on what your the other half like. I thought my bf was stingy but I'm way more stingy and calculative than him.

1. Degem
The engagement ring I spotted is around 0.4c but it cost 8k. After knowing the price I don't bother to know about the details anymore. Totally out of my budget. Their wedding bands are so much cheaper which 3k+ for a pair but I didn't spot any I like.

2. Diamond and platinum
I spotted engagement ring from forever mark, 0.3-0.4c price at 5k, which he likes too. Price slightly ok than the previous one I like. Considering but the price didn't manage to catch my heart. Their wedding bands are nice too but the pair we are quite ok comes up to 7k.

3. Love and co
Friends and comments online recommend so I went to have a look. Engagement ring 0.3-0.4c at 5k, price seems ok but not really what I want. Wedding bands no doubt very nice but both of us feel that they are too thick. Price range from 5k for a pair.

4. SK
The final shop we went and where we sapu engagement ring plus wedding bands. All together cost us 5k+. Hahahahahahaha mission complete as we found rings that we love, both design and the price. Plus, they allow us to have 3 alphabets on each of the wedding band. SK has few outlets, went to pyramid but didn't see what we like but different story when we went back to quill city mall. My solitaire is actually 0.18c but nobody really believes it. Color G, Vs2 and don't know what else. I don't really care about the details as I love the ring so much and will wear it all the time. Even my uncle who has good jewelry knowledge thought it's 0.3c. The design makes the difference and I wanted a ring that manage to match the solitaire so we went back and got the wedding bands.

5. TSL
Spotted a pair of wedding band at the end of 2015 which cost less than 3k after discount. The boss didn't like the wedding band even though the price was attractive.

6. Tiffany & co
The very first shop we step in. Price is scary, tried the ring and it seems weird on me.


Rings hunting for around 3-4 months and case closed. Not sure all the shops have the same policy, what I heard was price will increase twice a year due to the price of gold. So act fast and buy, never wait till last minute.

I'm looking at round cut only for the solitaire which I read that this is the most expensive type.

hmm..

Solitaire design with cushion diamond... any recommendation?
