QUOTE(lisiang @ Jan 8 2015, 09:09 AM) Im not so sure what's the actual size which is appealing to me, either 0.3c or 0.5c. However, if i found any 0.5c which is about 6k, i might go for it even thou im a fresh grad with a tight budget. buying diamond is all about budget .... if u buy 0.5c, u might need a bigger casing which cost about at least 1-2k to fit it ..else it might drop or cannot fit it properly... so end up u will spend 10K+- ....lolgo for normal diamond ring which cost 3k include casing+diamond ..no GIA cost the diamond is smaller than 0.3c ...  |

QUOTE(lisiang @ Jan 8 2015, 09:39 AM) Er... 10k+ with 0.5c? go to the shop only decide how many carat u want to buy ... 0.3 and 0.5c is a big diff in design .... if u buy 0.5c , dont really need to care about cutting , color etc already..go to shop and experience it ....those shop will tell u how to differentiate the quality ... gotta work with my budget thenWhich means 0.3c to 0.4c is my afe choice for my budget then. Anyway, what do you study about their stone? You means you shortlisted those that appeal to you which is within your budget? This post has been edited by boxer07: Jan 8 2015, 09:46 AM |

QUOTE(bearbear @ Jan 8 2015, 09:44 AM) i am a fact & figure person so i use HCA tool to scope down my choice (Only accept score below 2.0). Basically i decide my budget, the minimum colour and clarity level i can accept to work with. in fact u will never see it under a scope after u left the shop.... compare a same carat diamond with diff quality side by side , if u can see the diff , only decide on which to choose...else , dont really bother about color and clarity if price is expensiveFrankly the sales person will always try to show you the scope and etc but how often you see a diamond under a scope? |

QUOTE(lisiang @ Jan 8 2015, 09:52 AM) The main reason i dont want to go to shop first is because i hope to get some opinion before i start the hunt. This allows me me know what am i hunting and what should look out for. IMO, i dont really trust any promoters in any field. go to wah chan and look for RM3-4k diamond ... see it and compare with similar pricing ...those sales person wont recommend u RM10k diamond if u only look at 4k ..LOL..in fact wah chan seksyen 14 PJ SA only explain to me the diff only..didnt push me to buy for it Yeap. That's right. Im looking for a guideline that actually works. I know that sometimes we need to see for ourself but how do i know whether my justification was good? Im no expert on this thou. *Anyway, you're from Sheffield! It is a sweet townThis post has been edited by boxer07: Jan 8 2015, 10:04 AM |
