OK. Let's compared. I choose this diamond: 0.468 ct D VS1 A CUT ABOVE® Hearts and Arrows Diamond.
http://www.whiteflash.com/loose-diamonds/r...id=myengringexp
USD 1, 635

vs.

Pakej tiga
0.46 ct, F, Vvs2,
excellent for cut, Polish, symmetry
Fluorescence faint
Depth 62 Table 57 Crown 35.5 Pav 40.6
Hearts and arrows excellent
GIA 3215578414
HCA light return excellent, fire excellent, scintillation excellent, spread very good, score 1.4
Enchanted diamond cut score 97.2%
White gold 18k 4 or 6 prong setting
RM7940
Exchange rate I use 4.52 and add 6% GST. So it is RM 7833.61 for the loose diamond.

I add on standard ring setting from Memory Jewellery - RM 750 (Please check with them for latest price)

Final ring price with setting approximately RM 8583.61. I round up to RM 8,600.

Price difference: RM 660

I add on a custom setting from Memory Jewellery - RM 1,000 (Please check with them for latest price)

Final ring price with setting approximately RM 8833.61. I round up to RM 8,840.

Price difference: RM 900.

Based on this, WhiteFlash's colour is better by 2 grades but clarity loses by 1 grade. Do note that colour is always more important that clarity because it is more obvious to the naked eye. At VS1 clarity, WhiteFlash is 99.99% guaranteed eye-clean, and since this is an ACA, I will make it 100%. tongue.gif. Tailored Jewel's VVS2 is of course guaranteed eye-clean. Fluorescence faint is a slight disappointment though. Although it probably won't bring any negative impact on the appearance of the diamond, but usually diamond with fluorescence is slightly cheaper than a comparable diamond with no fluorescence. Now, if you request for the images such as ASET, Idealscope, and Hearts & Arrows image from Tailored Jewel and if they look decent enough, Tailored Jewel's package is probably a good buy. That's my conclusion so far.  :thumbsup:

Wow. Good deal there from white flash.
How long it take for them to deliver the stone to you?
And the extra charges incurred upon arrival?
You paid FedEx cash on the spot kah.

You should be able to get the stone within 2 weeks...at least that is what I experienced when I purchased from James Allen (using FedEx as well)

there will be GST charges incurred to you after delivery done

my case, I thought they forgot to charge me...mana tau...after 3 weeks...invoice came HAHAHA!

Hi Calvin,

I have excluded some slight charges on the shipment + insurance GST because that is quite minor. Usually the insurance will be 1% of the total diamond price, which is USD 16.35, which should be around RM 73.90. This insurance is paid by WhiteFlash, so you just need to pay its GST, which is around RM 4.34. You will also have to pay for the GST for the shipment cost, I can't remember how much, but the GST may cost around RM 20.00? That's why you don't see I include those misc charges for simplicity sake. The major part of the GST will fall on the diamond itself, which should cost you around RM 443.41.

I ordered Thu, 6/2/2016, I received Mon, 6/6/2016. The next shipment I experienced was shipped out on Tue, 6/7/2016 and received on Fri, 6/10/2016. That shipment was for the ring box that I requested but was not tagged along with the first parcel. Anyway, considering the distance, the shipment is pretty fast - within a week's time.

Fedex will help you clear custom and you will have to pay back to Fedex staff when they deliver. So yes, I paid them on the spot. Remember to prepare small change because they don't carry any change. Cash terms only.  smile.gif

There is any vendor called Brian Gavin Diamonds, a name which you will bump into quite often if you google to learn more about diamonds. They are selling super ideals as well.

To get a rough idea on how much a super ideal costs in Malaysia, just go visit HABIB and check out their Hearts on Fire series/Diamond & Platinum's Estrella series/SK's True Love series/Tomei, GoldHeart ,My Diamond's Le Lumiere series.  wink.gif And I believe not all of the diamonds in each respective series can be called a "super ideal" even the brand say so.

I called up tailored jewel to check things out. It seems that they do not provide h&a images of anything less than 1ct. Ask me to go drop by their store to find out instead.
Good marketing strategy there to make sure it's really serious buyer.

However knowing of the existence of white flash, where every single thing is available, is rather more appealing to me.

After all not everyone has the luxury in terms of time to check it out personally.

Appreciate the info by the taikor2 here.

Thanks
