Apologies bros & sis. My first post in HWZ.

Went to JP last week, and realised I need to book an appointment prior to the session. However, the staffs were still very willing to serve me despite without the appointment.

Anyway, I am planning to propose in May/Jun, and I have a budget of 3.5k. I remembered I was quoted about 4+k for 0.4ct, G, super ideal.

Any comments bros & sis?

can go n talk about fire n sparks... but end of the day the size is the main focus.
maybe now say won't upgrade but later on.... lol

get a triple EX from GIA cert (try to select better ones) and its enough.
go until super ideal (not sure if its AGS 0) n 4k+ for a 0.4+.... i don't think its worth it. VVS..VS is ok ma unless x-man eyes? last time also bought vvs, now vs is gd enough

if their settings is cheap (1.1k for that design is v reasonable?) then if give n take can consider

Just got quoted 0.81 carat F forgot which clarity for $10,700. Does it sound reasonable that 0.8 carats are now in the tens? :(

Diamond prices start jumping a lot beyond 0.7c I believe. I think 0.81c is slightly ex for 10.7k. Perhaps try dropping clarity and Colour to get a better price. JP quoted 12.8k for my 0.88 c. Additional 1.1k for setting, thought it was way out of budget. In the end I got a 0.9c with setting for 10k. HCA score was 1.2. Do shop around for get a better sense of the market rates, though no two diamonds are the same. All the best!

Thanks! May I know where did you get you 0.9 c from?? I'm just a bit upset because I saw from the thread that someone got quoted 9900 for 0.86 carat and 9600 for 0.81 carat.

Do note that the quote i got for the 0.86 was for F VS1 SI.

If colour and clarity goes up. Every grade up on either side is 10% I think.

Seeing all the discussion here makes me consider upgrading my diamond.

hahaha! go upgrade! tbh.. I'm alittle tempted myself.. I kinda like the Octagon. :s13: But if its an upgrade.. will become too big for her~ furthermore she still likes the Brellia more. lol.
