Hi ladies and gentlemen,

I want to propose to my gf later this year if i can find a suitable ring as soon as possible. All those preparation of the proposal also need some time.

My budget for the proposal ring is around RM 10k. Maybe RM 2 - 3k for wedding bands. My gf is dying for Tiffany & Co and I take some time to think about it since a lot of choices out there that can offer me better ring despite the brand itself. Because i think wedding only once in a lifetime, i think should buy the best for her but if i can get better ring somewhere else then maybe i should reconsider.

I asked my friend last week in KL to help me to see some rings in Tiffany & Co and he told me that it is possible to buy a proposal ring for RM 10k with only 0.25 or 0.3 carat of diamond with Tiffany Setting. I not sure about the colour, cut, etc yet because i not there to see it. Maybe that kind of money can buy you 0.25 carat but low colour and cut which i not really sure yet. I will be going to KL this weekend and I will drop by to see the ring myself.

For the wedding bands, if i able to get Tiffany & Co for the proposal ring, i think to buy the wedding bands in other shops.

So what is your advice on this matter? Should i go for Tiffany & Co or other brand for the proposal ring and how about the wedding bands?

Thanks!

Getting from a diamond wholesaler will save you a lot!

The rocks from wholesaler are GIA certified which you can be assure of. If you get from a retail, it will cost you a bomb just for the name and the box. Really not worth the money spending when you can get a way better one and a bigger one

It's ok guys. i bought my ring already. From Tiffany & Co because my gf loves it and i think it is totally worth it since it is the ring she like. Not a ring that will break my wallet and i think it suit fine.

diamond wholesaler ? reliable or not ... got GIA cert ?

mind to share with us who is it 

who is the wholesaler ?

need some input here, i am looking at budget of 5-8k

de gem [in house i forget the name] - 0.36c G VS1 RM6880
0.44c I VS1 RM8200

D&P Estrella- 0.35c E VS2 RM6590 （platinum ring）

D&P Forevermark similar as above RM5290

Lumiere 0.35c F VS2 RM5388
0.4c G VS2 RM6899

Seems really hard to just get GIA certified, most of the shop focus on these ideal cut and the only other option is no cert.

Any other shops worth checking out? Will Singapore have better pricing?

Hey, Singapore most likely have similar pricing (unless you earn SGD) after conversion.

DeGem in house? You mean Lazare?

I'm not sure what you mean by hard to get GIA certified, I think most if not all do try to sell GIA certified except for DeGem's lazare and I think D&P which pushes their own certification.

If you just want a stone, you can try buying it online then getting your own setting. That was what my friend did, you might have have the brand name but with just a little time, you can get a stone that shines and looks as good as the Lazare I got for half the price.

I'll go search for the tools if you are interested.

Those buying from sg, I suggest visit Jann Paul for more diamond knowledge. And try canary. I find them to have better diamonds than lovis

I got mine from canary. Mine is .9 E vs1. Price is not cheap. But perfect for my fiancée. I'm just suggesting you try both Jann Paul and canary too. In fact I find them to have better diamonds than Larry's also. Good luck my friend. Make sure you use HCA. The grades there really shows the diff. My fiancée .9 shines much much more than her boss's 1.1
