Bro....

Honestly speaking from my own experience, girl dont care what spec or how good is the diamond spec, all they care just how big is it and how shine it is visually....

So.... my advice... just buy the diamond ring that you feel visually nice within your budget....


I spent almost 1 months plus studying on diamond.... end up she just dont give a f to how good the spec of diamond...

The rock big big but looks like plastic, what's the point bro? Yes, I do agree that most ladies out there don't give any conceivable fooks on the 4Cs and all that crap. But in my opinion, the 4Cs are mainly for the buyer to know what he is getting himself into.

These tiny little rocks do not come cheap bro, for sure one would like to know more than just the carat weight.

That's true...  now i started looking at VS1/VS2 the price difference is quite alot compared to VVS1/2.  Color wise i still sticking with D-F..  but i want nicely cut .. hehe..  using the GIA cut score tool sent by kambingkoh..  very useful for ppl like me
wow.. this is interesting that your diamond hunting experience get you a new level of exposure into diamond business...  it is cool...  i will look at Brian Gavin later and the two stones that you recommended. 

By the way, can i ask both of you about florescence .....  after google it.. i still don't know whether it is good or bad... Audrey's website will show the range from None - Strong - Faint ....  damn it...  sounds so alien to me

honestly speaking... in the end of the day, the one that is paying for the diamond will care more on the specs regardless man or woman... for engagement ring, it will be the man bangwall.gif haha....

I started to increase my budget slowly by choosing bigger size and better color or clarity by looking at the GIA specs.. but now i changed to focus into cut, size, price and color. I want super ideal cut now... haha...

Hi smile.gif

I am planning to propose to my GF and currently looking for a diamond ring.  I know this topic has been discussed thousand over time but still appreciate some good advise from you guys.

My main question is whether cuts really that important.  I went to Poh Kong to see Hemera diamonds, it has 101 cuts compared to ordinary diamonds with 50+ cuts.  I think the price difference is about 20% extra for Hemera.  Is it better to get more cuts or spend this money on bigger or nicer colour diamond?

Round vs Heart Shape?  I know round is the most ideal shape for better shines and etc... i think heart shape is unique and mot many people will get heart shape diamond.

Another question I have is about buying diamonds without certificate.  The price is cheaper.  Does the certificate really matter?

Serious reply only please.  If you do not like my question, kindly ignore my thread. 

Thank you everyone smile.gif

Because of the way Round shape diamonds cut, it reflects more light than other shapes. So the round shape diamond is recommended.
A diamond certificate is the diamond's proof of identity and it provides assurance about the value and quality of a diamond. So It's better to buy a genuine diamond product with a proper certificate.
