Got the GIA details and check with the HCA tool, this score 0.6. Cost RM5.1k just for the diamond, is it worth it?
Are a low HCA score = Good shine for sure?

3 Excellent?
because the Polish is graded very good only?

What's the price range of those 3 diamond Jann Paul sent you? (need to know their price range before contacting them)

Bought this from JannPaul as JamesAllen doesn't ship to Malaysia and selection from Whiteflash doesn't seem that good and getting those scope images seems troublesome





Total damage $2354 inclusive of a 18k 4prong Classic Solitaire Ring & 7% GST (sad)

Well, for those that wanna buy from JP, they only accept bank transfer no credit card. $50 for postage & insurance if you want them to ship it to you. But you wont be charge 7% GST. I choose to pickup from them so I got charged 7% GST

My friend who is picking it up for me is going in from Johor and leaving car, no can't claim the GST

Let the JP guys know about it, they will prepare a form for you.
You'll get back like 5.5%

Go read about ideal scope, ASET scope, HCA, and how to look at magnified actual diamond.
That way you will find a good diamond.

You can get a big stone but not shiny, or you can get a shiny stone but not that big. Color, clarity is ... erm, well, kinda hard to differentiate in real life.
Most jewelry shop will tell you, the bigger the better. The color grade higher the better, the clarity the high the better.
But when you take another of slightly lower grade of color or clarity put it side by side, you'll hardly see any difference.


Can we get a pair of white gold wedding band for 1.2k? (I have no idea about it's market price, seriously)
The classic 4 prong setting that I bought is white gold 18k, it already cost me SGD500. While local diamond store quoted me RM2k >.>

It's good. Well, no complains from her
The shine is definitely great. Way better when compared with those I saw in local jewelry store like Tomei/Habib etc ... (ugh, the Habib one is expensive, cost double for same size and less shine)
