By juz looking at the results, the clarity a bit low IMO..

besides that, do you have a complete GIA report, ASET image, idealscope image?

those are the things which can help to determine better

Don't call me master la unless I am swinging a lightsaber around.

No, the diamond does not worth the price. It is not even a triple excellent. Triple excellent consists of 3 things:
Cut - Excellent
Polish - Excellent
Symmetry - Excellent

Stick to 3Ex if can.

Looking at the proportions, the pavilion angle of 41.2 degrees, so probably the light return is weak.

I have been getting repetitive, so I have blogged the steps here. Please refer here:

Mind sharing what is the design of your ring? And did you buy the ring recently? RM 3K is quite on the high-side.

bro, http://www.whiteflash.com/engagement-rings...t-ring-3434.htm

if this design...do you think it worth rm3.6k? make locally...and the side diamonds are only on 2 sides...instead of 4 as shown in the link

It is overpriced man. Furthermore, it is not a 3Ex, as master kambingkoh mentioned. I can say 90% it will not perform well.

I believe they bumped up the price because of its D colour and VVS2 clarity. From my experience, D and VVS2 are really not necessary cuz they are something which you pay for but you can't see the difference! To an average person, D colour and F colour appear just the same, and there is no big difference between a VVS2 and VS2 diamond, if both are certified eye-clean.

So, my question to you is: Why pay extra for something better but is indistinguishable? Also, as master kambingkoh said, always go for 3Ex, unless you want a diamond with an ok-ok cut to maximise carat size. If that's the case, I believe jrrsim can assist you.

Wow! The design very unique. Is this a designer's setting?

Where did you get the RM3,600 quote from?

not at the further research or even request for quotation stage yet bro.. just compiling info for the day I decide to actually start searching properly for a ring
thanks to all Masters for the info in this thread!

kambingkoh, i bet most ppl (like me) would prefer your meticulous eye (together with bb100 and jacky91) than to do the proper research themselves.. haha..

Haha no problem bro. We are glad to share what we learnt all these while so that you guys (who are too busy earning big bucks) can make an informed purchase for one of the biggest events of your bachelor life hahaha.

yea, simon g...haha

quotation from iDo

i a bit skeptical now...cause previously i asked them about the whole package (diamond + setting)...and then later on I purchased the diamond on my own...and cut their earning...scared they might not take my setting seriously

Try and get quotations from a few jewellers so you can have a feel of what's the price range like for your particular design.

I believe iDo are a well-established company lahh. They should be professional enough to handle customers' requests and won't anyhow do things. Some more we as customers have the right to choose mahh, who cheaper then we buy from who lahh. Takkan they wanna take revenge on you for not buying the stone from them right?

true la..haha! currently still checking with another jeweller...still waiting the quotation sia

who? who?

recommended by a friend...and his page's review seems very positive

Planning to make a second engagement ring ehh bro?

I brought my ring like 2 years back.. When ringgit is still strong.
Need to search back for my design..
But i did copy and get the idea from white flash as well. The setting for Audrey is made in hong kong.
This is what they told me. Dunno kena con or not.

Guys, mind advise what's the difference if you're buying it from local jewelers than customizing it? is it because local jewelers charge more expensive and giving worse diamonds?

Nop, I believe you did not kena con. Nowadays most, if not all, jewellers outsource their customisation work to Hong Kong. This would sound "atas" for those who do not know that Hong Kong actually supply cheap workmanship for this kinda stuffs.

ermm...by customizing...we mean the ring...not the diamond

hmm... does it mean that local jewelers doesn't offer nice design on settings already?

Nope, planning to get a pair of 1 carat super ideal diamonds for cufflinks and sit inside the meeting room with hands fold up like a boss. Hahaha...
