From personal experience, I would actually suggest you to visit a diamond wholesaler.

They are way more genuine and is the best money can buy rather than buying name/ box like Tiffany and Cartier all.

As long as the diamond is cut at its best cut with 8 hearts and arrows. The diamond is rated at the best cut. So doesn't means triple excellent would shine the best. IT is the cut and also the fluorescent of the stone. The best is without fluorescent at all. Cause stones with it would be the cheapest cause it would be the tint in the rock that cannot be washed off.

ALSO DO CHECK THE DATES OF YOUR CERT!!!!! For rocks smaller than 1ct la, usually a lot is traded in stones!! Especially those older than a year.

In wholesaler, they usually don't sell solitaires dated 3-4 months later than current date unless it is an unusual size.

I've a bad experience from Degem for my proposal before meeting wholesaler.

I bought a Lazare diamond at RM36k for H colour and IF Clarity. However, I just ended up paying for just the brand and it wasnt even 1 ct. It was only 0.8ct. When  you buy that time, the sales retail will say anything and agree with anything but when you decide to trade in only I realised they will only pay max 50% cash back or to trade to another ring or another jewellery it has to be double the price meaning 75k and above! Practically eating your bank account!! LEARNED MY FIRST AND LAST LESSON IN A RETAIL STORE no matter how they name their brand it is just a RETAIL CERT AND PACKAGING not a LAB CERT.

I ended up knowing about the whole concept of wholesale and I found how much more genuine it is. So much worth the value and quality is the best as they got first hand of the diamond and they have their own factory so you can practically customised any design you want whether in gold or platinum.

Just sharing with those moving forward and wholesaler guarantee the best shine of the diamond WITHOUT spotlight.

My wife had so much compliment of her jewelleries from the wholesaler and price (Man save you minimum 30% of the retail price at least but the best and cleanest diamond)

But wholesaler works by appointment. Your can try contacting Bludiamond +60123272110 if your want diamonds or gems that are worth the value. They have tons of GIA Certified Solitaires and ready made jewelleries. But it takes about 2-3 weeks to do the setting for solitaires and also wedding bands. Only thing about wholesaler, don't expect like high end packaging and all la.... Practical the jewelry piece is the most important!!!

They have so much choices rather thn jst few pieces in retail which are way too expensive, overrated and limited choices.

Have fun!!

hi

i am trying to understand.

you paid RM36K for 0.8carat lazare diamond.

so that would mean your next minimum upgrade must be worth RM72K(RM36K x 2) diamond at least, which means you top up RM36K. correct?

but u stated that when u wanna trade in, they make you top up RM75K instead of RM36K ?

Your wedding band and ring should be 5 times of your monthly salary.

Where or how did you get that figure ?
Like that have to look at 3 carat ring d  sweat.gif
Well TS, my rule of thumb which I share and agree with my GF is, why buy something that might not have an appreciation value ? If its a 10k ring, imagine you using only 1k for the ring and 9k to further grow your wealth  tongue.gif  But hey, if the rock can appreciate over time, why not ?  laugh.gif

get somthing that is good quality , the carat u can upgrade in later years but ensure that its good colour+clarity+cut. the carat should be the least of worries. i've seen big carat with poor clarity colour and cut. so yellow and ugly !
