Best reply on the thread so far

I'm just amazed that some of the other replies imply that the girl is at fault for wearing it all the time. Keep taking it off and putting it on increase the risk of losing it significantly really. I heard so many stories of wives losing their engagement rings because of that.

Ever heard of wants and needs? You need a car in Malaysia as the public transport is too jacked up. You need a house in Malaysia as you need a shelter. You need a diamond as it's still a diamond 40 years down the road? (Great fairy-tale marketing done by De Beers )
With the kind of financial ignorance one has, no wonder Malaysians keep complaining the cost of living is so high, how to survive this that, I even cringe at the sound of people complaining about GST yet I'm in my early 20's who just entered the workforce LOL
Well to each their own la, if everyone were to think like me our economy would collapse

And mind you, diamond is not considered a tradable commodity which makes it even worthless. As for oil, airlines can still hedge against volatile oil costs by purchasing call options within a specific price which gives them the right to purchase oil price in the future at the current rate. I have to reiterate how is that worthless as oil price is the largest operating cost centre for airlines?
Also do consider opportunity cost to short & long commodities, good bucks!

Cheers bro

Please name the shops involved.

well, what's done is done. if TS could only buy another identical one and secretly replace it when she is not wearing the ring (during bath or other activity).

but then if the workmanship of the shop is flawed, their integrity is at stake.

Same, my wife wore for wedding & honeymoon afterwhich we got simple bands for daily use. The ring only comes out on special occasions nowadays

cash > diamond

i have a cheeky plan.. why not buy another exact same diamond, tell her you found it in the toilet or car. then give it to her. bring this secret to your grave. end of story

Damn, I should warn my gf about this.
She even wore it overnight. I might need to sell my kidney to get replacement if this shit happens on her.

That is why you have wedding band... normal occasion wife won't wear diamond ring... just the wedding band...

Maybe I met a more straight forward sales guy when buying, straight away when choosing ring, he already mentioned that there is no guarantee and shit do happens, 6 claws 8 prong or 10 prong, if you drop it, hit it, linen caught it, there is always a chance it will come off.

But as many have mentioned, diamond has no value. So just let it be. Things happened cannot be undone. My suggestion, if you still have some money, buy another diamond, no need to be GIA certified, no one cares, and also no need to have the best colour and clarity, just choose the bigger (carat) will do

TLDR.......

keyword "A missing diamond and show of true Colours"

If both of you love each other why would both quarrelling over a diamond?

Choose wisely TS

Heh... guess what our big fight is about??
About cats...

No matter what, now what's lost is lost. Arguments and blaming will not solve this problem. At the bright side you still have that precious metal and all you can do is to get a new stone.

GIA diamonds are such a rip off, they have those shit gradings but you don't see the stone color and real sparkles until you get it out of the shop and see it on a more normal lit environment.

Opt for moissanite stones as your replacement.

When u love someone, u wan to prove urself, that's d one prove that I must do lor (apart from many other requests I cant take into account).

I'm on tribunal now. There might be a chance of settlement before that, their customer service manager called and take note of my terms for settlement. Very funny geh lor, it was d GM who decide to offer me a special rate for d 2nd stone, yet, d affidavits was being referred to legal department when I attention d legal letter to his secretary, then to customer service, and d customer service manager said no one mention anything to her thus I have to tell her from A-Z. Best part is, later d GM said after he made me that offer, there was no update to him until d legal letter arrives.

I'm not asking anything extra, just wan back my ring. If they don't give I also have to get another one, but d feeling will haunt me for d rest of our lives whenever we look at d 2nd ring.

Overseas have insurance from seller to cover, and they give 1year warranty. They told me is wear and tear is just cruel and irresponsible. Imagine that statement came from d same frenly sales person who gave me d best of both worlds. Malaysia always lacks initiatives to implement rullings and normally, also after certain cases then d officials look into it to quite down d public. Last time house owners were not protected against runaway developers. After many complaints only they look into it.

We Malaysian has been sucking into what has been throwned to us. I hope my case, will be used to initiate a need to implement ruling that jewelry sellers need to provide warranty on 18k diamond rings because it involves skill labour n d merchandise doesn't come cheap. To us, is once in a life time. But when u trade in after 10years, they say 40% of d receipt price. So, don't bother about their pitch on resale value as there's none.

D reason I willing to pay for d civil case, should tribunal failed, is that I couldn't bare her accepting is her fault. Is our fault bcos we don't have a case against them. And yes, I have a few close frens who are lawyers, and they are on my side.

Thanks bro

I nvr blame her. In fact, I got no time to feel sad as I need to stand up supporting her, prepare my family before they ask about her ring during cny and figure out how to fight back my rights as consumers while she collapse for many days. Tears streaming from her eyes, anytime, anywhere and without a word. It was hard on her. Guess that's not something guys can understand.

Indeed removing d ring is not an option. Condos are not safe unless I'm paying above 500 for maintenance every month. She did ask me if she should wear it daily and I said yes, which I was assured by d branch manager they sold many with no complaints (same 4claws setting).

I cant reveal it as currently still in tribunal. Should that fails, probably will go civil. Only after d judge rule favorable to me then only I can tell openly, otherwise I might kena defamation suite.

Renovating house now, many things in d upcoming list, cant afford anytime soon. Anyway, thanks for d idea

No worries. If its in tact after a month of daily wear, should last u for many years to come. Just be sure to shake it and see if got clicking sound from time to time or after she knocks on something. Ya, d replacement can only come from guys. She did consider paying for it since I can't afford for now, but I asked her, "if u can resists not thinking u paid for it whenever ur fren said ur hubby love u so much get u this size, u can buy". For sue I will think, "not paid by me ma, but I did pay for d 1st one, oh ya, we lost it and we have to accept it". I have to face this loop for d rest my life and of course, I will not allow her to pay for it. She would have to sit on it for now.

And now with d tribunal, hope it will rule favorable to us.
