Greetings LYN,
I was looking for a diamond ring for my gf. After reading the forum and a day of diamond hunting, I decided to purchase a diamond from Wah Chan. Below are the spec:
0.37ct
G color, VS2
GIA 7226895595
HCA Score: 0.8
Enchanted diamond cut score: 100
I'm not exactly sure how to use the HCA tool (is lower score better? or is anything below 2.0 equally good?). The only reason I use these 2 tools is because they seem to be easy enough to use for beginners. Based on the result, it seems like a decent diamond to me. I looked at the diamond through the heart and arrow scope. The arrows are quite sharp. However, I had to struggle and look at it at the correct angle to be able to see all the hearts in one view. The price I paid was RM3,600. What do u guys think?
Also, have anyone had any experience with Wah Chan's ring setting? They offered me a good price for the setting (maybe because I purchased the diamond from them). I also considered Tailored Jewel. Saw some sample of their work, looks good.

QUOTE(kambingkoh @ Dec 31 2016, 07:09 PM) Based on what I read here: http://www.prosumerdiamonds.com/crown-angle/, your diamond has a shallow 40.6 degrees pavilion and ideally should be paired with a steeper crown. However, in your case, the crown angle is shallow as well, so probably will lack abit in light return (my guess). It will lack some fire because of the 34 degrees crown angle (based on what I read). However, safe to say that your proportions look good and as long as the symmetry for the hearts and arrows are good, it should be a good diamond in my opinion. Btw, I have also checked your diamond at http://datlas.com/do-it-yourself-aganaja-cut-class-grader/ and the score is 1A, which is the top grade. The price seems okay for such diamond. Just sharing what I studied online. Thanks for the input bro! |

QUOTE(bb100 @ Jan 1 2017, 11:06 PM) Unfortunately I didn't manage to look at the diamond under ASET or idealscope. Since it was purchased in a physical store (shopping mall), all they had was a hearts and arrow scope, which is fine by me for a diamond at that price point. Out of curiosity, how do you normally get to look at the diamond under ASET or ideascope? Does the store in Malaysia normally carry those? |

QUOTE(kambingkoh @ Jan 2 2017, 05:02 PM) bb100 is correct, typical jewellery store won't be able to provide ASET and idealscope. Anyway, you have seen the real diamond yourself, how do you feel about it? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder... do you like it? Btw, just curious, you mentioned that they give you a good price for the setting, mind sharing what is the price range like? I guess the price of setting depends on the design. The design that my gf likes is a bit complicated and includes some side diamond. It's actually 2 rings (1 white gold solitaire, 1 rose gold ring with side diamond) that can be combined into 1 ring and the price that they offered is RM1800. It would have been cheaper if I were to choose a ready made casing, but my gf doesn't like those simple settings. I think they will cost about RM1k more or less |
