Hi all,

I found a brian gavin discount code for 10% off: June1910.

Wanted some advice from members here on following cushion cut diamonds from BrianGavin and Whiteflash.

Also found a setting which I really liked on whiteflash, any recommendations/idea how much it would cost to set locally?:

Lastly, is it true there is no tax for online diamond purchase sent to Malaysia?

Hi Kambingkoh!

Thanks for the response, i did favour brian gavin but their settings were so expensive, and so i went to look at whiteflash. From what i see, whiteflash is taking the stone from their suppliers/contacts and have no real pictures to look at.

Can you help compare these BG stones with the one i sent? Not much choices for my size n budget.do you think G and SI1 is better than H vs2? Seems they have mostly H colours for the cushions.

Yes i showed my gf some engraved setting pics ans she also liked the whiteflash one. Also do you think I should have other considerations because of yellow gold setting? Should i change the head to gold as well?

Thanks KambingKoh. Just wondering if you also took account of this stone in your comparison?

Nope. But now that you mentioned... this stone face-up diameter is very nice as well. Above 6mm. Facing-up wise, this has the best value. So you would probably want to throw this into the mix of 4 stones when asking the consultant.

Yes this would be my first choice. Seems to be nice measurements much bigger surface than most 1C cushions. Just a question about the measurements 6.01mm x 6.66mm. I read through why the measurements are different on the BG website, but I read that the 6.01 is supposed to be the longest edge to edge diagonal measurement and the 6.66mm is the edge to edge (inner diameter). How is it possible the diagonal is shorter than the inner???

It is impossible for the diagonal to be more than the edge to edge. It does not make sense at all. I believe the longer one should represent the diagonal measurement. Perhaps they just use it interchangeably, whichever measured first. I would check with BGD consultant to double confirm on this.

Hahaha Tiffany is expensiveee. But i must say it is expensive for a reason though. Wearing tiffany is like bringing a hermes bag. It's the pride and confidence that come with it.

I see some ppl compare prices for Tiffany/Hearts on Fire/Lazare/Le Lumiere with WhiteFlash? That's like comparing Hermes bag with Coach bag. Quality wise might be the same (even though i duno whiteflash is really as comparable) but price difference is there because of the branding. So WhiteFlash might be slightly cheaper in terms of price but value wise i doubt so.

Not trying to say WhiteFlash is that bad but i believe ultimately you should get something that your fiancee wants. Trust me..most girls would rather want a smaller diamond from a known brand than a bigger diamond from an unknown brand.

Quoting some of the messages from the pioneers in this thread previously.

'Bro, just get whatever your fiancee like. Never get her engagement ring that "you think" is best for her, the ladies' brain works slightly different as we know it.' - post #17

'just go for what your gf loves. the heart that you did notice her preference counts~' - post #20

Buddy, suggest you look into the cut quality of tiffany v ACA of whiteflash. You may justify the price tag on marketing n branding but in terms of actual product the tiffany diamond is the coach bag n not the hermes smile.gif

Hi Guys. I'm planning to propose but have no idea on what type of engagement rings to look for. My gf likes Chow Tai Fook. My budget is around rm7k. Any reccomendations? Thanks.

My friend bought a 0.5 G VS1 from Habib for RM6k - Hearts and Arrows round diamond. Just to give you an idea of what you can get.
