That's a crazy diamond!

Based on the proportions, it seems good enough. HCA is below 2 will be better. May I know the cert number and price? Also, you may also proceed to get the images from Audrey's.

Today will be busy. Let me get back to you soonest possible.

Here are the GIA cert numbers:
1243504866
6245508309
7236850381
2175986411
6241535044
3235932338
6245491796
1245420345
6245444087
2237722026

Out of the 10, I selected these 2 based on proportions. Feel free too comment, good or bad.

Enjoy the ganjeongness bro. You will love the diamond more than your wife-to-be. Haha.

Go meet with his friend.

Don't worry. Even if you buy loose stone without box, as long as you set it locally, I am sure the jeweller will give one to you. I got mine from iDo Jewellery, as well as WhiteFlash anyway. Haha.

Yes. That is my suggestion. Not necessarily WhiteFlash, you can buy from other places, like JamesAllen, just like what Jacky91 did. You may consider other vendors as well, such as Brian Gavin Diamonds. WhiteFlash and Brian Gavin Diamonds offer AGS graded diamonds mostly. If you prefer GIA, then JamesAllen would be a better choice. However, JamesAllen only ship to Singapore. Anyway, if you buy from WhiteFlash, appreciate if you can put my blog as your referee because I am affiliate to it.

Cheaper - Depends how you define "cheaper", if you only compare the 4Cs, you can get cheaper diamonds locally, together with setting. However, if you consider super ideal diamonds, then I would say buying online and getting it set locally will be more worthwhile. There can also be a scenario whereby some diamond is just triple excellent but it is sold to you at a price close to a super ideal which you can get online. If that triple excellent can be proven to be super ideal as well, then by all means get it locally. However, if it is not, then I definitely recommend you to get it online.

The cons of buying a loose diamond is that the price for setting will be more expensive than buying from the same vendor. Usually this is the case. For example, the ring setting may cost you RM 800 if you purchase the diamond as well, but if you only buy the casing alone, then the price may be RM 1500.

However, for budget-concern folks, I would still recommend non-mainstream stores in Malaysia, especially during promotion. This is because the offer can be quite good and most of the promotions offer triple excellent GIA graded diamonds, with good clarity and good colour. Of course, I won't put high hopes on the proportions, but we still need to verify them and pick the best among all that are offered, who knows we may actually find a good diamond that can perform really well. Personally, I think buying a good enough diamond instead of super ideal is a respectable decision if the deal is good.

If you want super ideal but you prefer to buy at a brick and mortar store, I think Jann Paul in Singapore is worth a visit. I never visited them, but I am impressed with the way they educate customers on blog and YouTube.

Compare to outlet I think will definitely be cheaper. Anyway, buying from WhiteFlash is safe. They have been there for quite some time and they ship using Fedex. The product is insured as well. Fedex will deliver to your hand and collect the GST/taxes that have incurred from you.

The ring price listed in Eumayco's website is only applicable if you purchase the loose diamond from them too. For the setting-only price, you may contact them via FB.

So did the SG govt. come back for the VAT?

slip liao la i think hahahah... maybe next time i should just buy diamond in SG.

neck also panjang la

what did you mom say? XD

Seems like you focus on the design of the ring. Nice! Gonna have side diamonds? Btw, do you mind to let me know where you custom the setting? You can either PM me or you can just share it here. Thanks!

Oh, I think you mentioned before. Haha. Does this guy sell diamonds as well?
