What is your budget?

You may look for online stores like James Allen, Whiteflash, Brian Gavin and the likes. They are 100% legit. The good thing about them is that they are totally transparent on their websites, as they put everything up there for buyers to evaluate.

In my opinion, yes the difference is noticeable.

No, I am not a sifu. Just sharing my limited knowledge with you guys here.

G colour is okay if you have a high performing diamond to mask the yellowish tint. Otherwise, the lowest you wanna go is F. Personally, here are my priorities:

P1: Cut, no compromise.
P2: Carat weight, girls' best friend so it has to be.
P3: Colour, cuz it is something which you and other people can observe.
P4: Clarity, does not really matter as long as it appears eyeclean and there are no internal cracks (feather) near the edges.

Imagine this very common conversation:

Girl A: WAHHHH, your diamond super shiny and colourful!! That's P1 right there.
Girl B: Is it? Thank you.
Girl A: How many carat? There you go, P2.

Never have you heard "Wahhh, your diamond super shiny and colourful! What colour and clarity your fiancé buy for you?"

Where was it done?

Almost everybody is into round brilliants. No love for fancy shapes?

Round brilliant is the most expensive per carat.


Yea man. Everybody keeps asking about round brilliants, macam tak realise there are other shapes around.

Princess cuts, for example, can be made into stunning engagement rings like this:

HAHAHAHA, what the actual flying fish?! Like that also can?? Those sales promoters really can cook up wonderful stories just to get your business.

While I no longer keep myself updated on the latest diamond prices, close to RM7,800 for a 0.36 F VVS2 EX VG VG stone is outrageous. Perhaps you are paying more for the clarity, I don't know. You can get a bigger and better diamond elsewhere.

As mentioned by kambing, these designs can be found in your average jewellery stores. No offense, but some look ugly, especially this.



But I have to say that ring design is something very subjective, most important is you like what you see.

I silent reader only bro.

Instantly recognised that brand name once you mentioned Facebook. I would also like to know how does the stone compare to the real deal.

Anyone bought from them before?
