Guys, i need advise. WC offered me a 0.70 Carat, Colour H and SI2 clarity, it comes with a 18k band. RM 10,888. Is this a good diamond? I am no pro, but i dont know how to differentiate a good clarity with my eyes.

I see many people opting for 0.5 carat with vvs clarity for the price of 10k. WHich is better?

Please advise.

SI2 clarity is quite border and cant be sure is eye clean or not. You have to ask the salesperson the location of the inclusions as well as the type of inclusions to be safe. Also, is it graded by GIA? If yes, do you have the cert number?

VVS is better than SI.

Check Caratique Subang Parade, probably get it at half price. Brands like de gem. Not worth it. Alternatively, buy her mcd shove a tikam ring in the sundae. Settle.

The price is pretty okay based on promotion by other vendors where 4.4k to 4.5k can get E color triple excellent. But then, still need to know the details in the cert to find out more.

Could not agree more bro. Not only De Gem. Cartier, Tiffany & Co, and other so-called branded diamonds. Pay more just for the branding.

RM4,000+/- is quite a standard price for 0.30 carats. If the 3Ex is an above average 3Ex, then you are more or less good to go.

Is the VS2 eye-clean?

Wahhhhhhhhhhhhh!! 0.70 with setting for RM10,888 very good price liao if you can accept the slightly yellowish tint on the H colour.

Do double check the SI2 clarity, though. Some have very nasty inclusions smack right at the middle of the table. That's why it is so cheap.

Haha. No lor. Already done married. Anyway, asked Jann Paul before, their price is above RM 2K for setting alone if no buy diamond from them. My one is done by iDo Jewellery. But I am asking because I am interested to see what other options are there in Malaysia other than those mainstreams one. Thanks!

Their workmanship is quite good, according to online reviews. They are currently producing a 3D render for my setting. Let's see how good it gets! Will provide updates.

By the way, mind sharing a few drillz of your ring?

Wow. Verragio eh. How will they customize for you? I always thought that all these branded settings cant be customized. Sounds like you work in Singapore btw.

I shared about my ring setting here, take a look: http://myengagementringexperience.blogspot...etting.html?m=1

It needs to be customised cuz I am setting a heart shaped diamond. So the position of the prongs has to be changed to fit the stone. Yup I am working in Singapore.

Eye clean means the inclusions are not visible with the naked eye. You can confirm this with the sales guy. Some VS2 have nasty inclusions which are either right at the centre of the table or close to the girdle. You should avoid these stones.

From my experience, 93.7 is a borderline 3Ex. Can I have the GIA number for verification?

Replied your PM with my personal views. If price is your main concern, then I believe that's the best you can go. Unless you are willing to sacrifice on the other 3Cs for a better cut stone.
