Dear all sifu,

Recently i am doing survey on proposal diamond ring (white good). I found that have 3 types of ring
1.) Ring with GIA certificate
2.) Ring with diamond shop in house certificate
3.) Ring without certificate

Here is my few question
1.) It is true the ring with certificate is so important?
2.) If i buy ring without certificate it is very likely the diamond spec show by the shop will be not accurate and also high chance will be get cheated by the shop?
2.) If i buy ring without certificate from reputable shop such as Wah chan or lazo diamond? It is more safe?

My budget is tight only around 2.5k. I really hope all sifu can give me advice. If certificate is really that important i will go for it. Thank you.

Sifu kambingkoh,
what about forevermark cert, is it ok? compare to GIA cert from WC, is it ok?
bc i read from google, some article from US mentioned forevermark cert is biased bc they grade their own diamond.
unline GIA cert which is more objective.

Hi, sorry to jump in, just wanna tumpang tanya,

Has anyone had experience buying lab grown diamond, from my research it seems to be priced below actual diamonds, yet have the same qualities.

My lady is fine with lab grown, but ironically i am not convinced 😅

Are there any reputable jewellers in Malaysia that carry lab grown diamonds?

Thanks everyone for your reply.

Thank you for your reply.

I did look through some articles and examples, but some mentioned it does not come with certifications. My only concern is that we might be not be getting a 'real' diamond wihtout those certificates to verify.
