And I lol your comments contradicting one post to another. Read again what you type and what you copy and paste it doesn't make sense.

Buying the gem is what you prefer to see not your 2 cents worth advice. As simple as that.

I am here is not to having a mouth battle. You can keep persuade others take cutting as last sort of consideration among 4Cs. At least insofar you are failed to illustrate any well known expert who comment cutting is not important at all for small stone.

Whatever I cut and paste is either make sense or not, those factual oriented person will validate about it.

Does it matter? As mentioned it all boils down to what's your perception I've never took a knife and force anyone to follow my thoughts.

What I say color is more important. What you say cut is more important. Do remember my statement anything lower than 0.7c forget about the cut. If you get a gia certified stone it will have the sufficient cuts. I'm not here to change how u think and again it's my personal choice not yours.

Just want to say the ring I got was only 0.4 from Forevermark but it shines better than the WahChan. 0.5 which the price is even cheaper.

I would say the cut is very important because the cut includes grade symmetry and polish.

Go to pricescope tool to determine the rating of the ring.

Had a very bad experience with Le Lumiere Gardens. Their resize job was terrible. Just look at the pics below.

First picture shows the egg shaped ring after resizing.


Second picture below is a collage of the original (bottom pic), resize (middle pic), and fix attempt (top pic) of the resize. Middle pic shows the milgrain pattern virtually polished off, while the top pic shows their clumsy attempt of trying to recreate the milgrain but is is still obviously not uniform.



Now they are telling me that I need to pay extra if need to remake with new stones if the stones are higher carat. When asked why cannot reuse the existing botched ring's stones, the salesperson even had the gall to say might scratch the stones...WTH...are the diamonds fake?

From the pic clearly shows that how lack of craftmanship are they. But did they warn you about the resize might cause some ovalness due to the design or something? From my past experience from WahChan, they did mentioned some of the design is hard/not possible for resize due to the design and etc.

I think you do have to file an official complain or etc to the branch manager/higher management rather than dealing it with the salesperson.

Anyhow, it's an once in a lifetime thingy.

The salesperson actually showed us a sample ring which was resized and it looked seamless. Yes he acknowledged it was horrible workmanship. Thus they tried to fix it. But the way the milgrain design was polished off makes it beyond redemption.

I did escalate to their branch manager and even posted to their Le Lumiere's facebook page. After the so called fix, they removed my post and refused to allow new postings!

I did not accept the outcome of the 'fix' and demanded a new ring be made. Now they are saying cannot reuse the old stones and if the new ring's stones are bigger carat then I have to top up. I already paid in full. And the wedding is in a few months time...

Should I demand a refund and try to get my ring somewhere else? I'm seriously running out of time.

Im no pro on this but i do believe "refund" will not works, especially in Malaysia. And on the other hand, they probably wouldnt give a damn on your deadline as they are not obligated to meet your deadline.

But on the ring thingy, they will have to get it done, whether on time or not, that's another story already.

Maybe you could get a wedding bands just for the sake of marriage ceremony first?

At least, it is still a positive outcome (at least someone else is following it up). Has you get any good news already?

Just got a call from the Operations Head. They are offering full refund and said if we want to get a new ring it will be have to be at new rates. Consider this as lesson learnt and never patronise Le Lumiere (Tomei) again if your ring requires resizing! So much time wasted.

Will post updates on this separate thread so that it is more visible: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4359867
