Hi, if interested with anything. Do let me know. Maybe i could help and work with your budget.

Hi guys. May i know nett price diamond at poh kong and wah chan is really nett or still can nego with ?

As long as brick and mortar stores are concerned, the price listed on the label are usually not the final price. My colleagues said that Wah Chan's price are quite competitive. Anyway, I suggest you just drop by all the stores and take a look, no harm knowing more.

I was wondering if the diamond HCA score is it really matter? I found one which has a score of 1.9

No worries. You can afford to buy a few meaning you are not poor. Keep the discount for the poor ones like me.

HCA is only used as a diamond rejection tool, not selection tool. Some jeweller will tell you it is not relevant anymore, but then, I will still use it as rejection tool. The reason why it cannot be used as selection is that it only take into account 17 facets out of 57 facets, according to: http://www.goodoldgold.com/consumers-guide-hca

As a general rule, you have to reject diamonds that fall below a score of 2. Read here: http://beyond4cs.com/shapes/round/hca-scores/

Also, it is only applicable for round brilliant cut, aka the traditional 57 facets diamond. So any extra facets or fancy cut shape probably can't use it.

Once you done calculating the score, you still have to look into the hearts and arrows and light performance, where most local shops won't be able to provide. So, that's the reason I opt to buy online at WhiteFlash instead of local stores. You can read about it here: http://myengagementringexperience.blogspot.my/.

Aha, lucky the one I picked averaging 1.9~2.4. Guess I need to pay the showroom another visit to view the actual diamond.

gogogo! And you probably should rethink again if the HCA score is above 2.0... just corrected by Pikachu. lol.

It should be above 2, not below 2. 0-2 is Excellent.

Aiks, thanks for the correction!

Ya, but so far only JannPaul emphasize the importance for HCA score, others said it's not that important. Don't know who to trust

JannPaul is good. They will educate their customers well. They will even show you the IdealScope, Hearts & Arrows, Light Performance, etc. They have a series of Youtube videos you may want to check it out. Too bad they are only in Singapore.

As long as you encounter someone that says "cut is not important", "triple excellent is good enough", i think you can walk away. There is always a reason why a similar specs diamond is priced differently than the other... and such scenario may occur even in the same jeweller.

Yea, been to Jann Paul 5 times already but the price is slightly higher compared to Michael Trio. So most probably she'll opt for the latter choice.

Since I knew of custom jeweler, I never went looking at ring with brands already
