Yup haven leh. I most likely going with the second one I showed. My diamond was 4.25 already so that's like 10% off my budget liao. But couldn't resist the lure haha

Oh. 10% off budget is about 400- 500 dollars ? Hmm I think if u and your gf really like the design, maybe can consider getting it.. Once in a life time ma. Then try to spend lesser in the next few months.

But also must see your other financial commitments la.. All the best in choosing your ring.

the final product! .. not sure if its the camera angle that make the 7 o'clock side seem a bit messy at the arrow part.. cant tell that using the scope.. what u all think? havent collect yet though.. overall still very satisfied

Your ring looks very chio! The scope is fine. Maybe becos of the camera angle

Please comment on the diamond specification i'm buying

Hi guys,

Please comments on if these diamonds are good buy thanks!

I've seen the diamond and I think they are nice but after seeing the GIA report about the characteristics such as feather, cloud, needle and pinpoint I'm a little concern if they are significant factors to consider. Please advise thanks!

The one I'm buying:
GIA report 2186588719 (SGD 4,600 with setting)

Considering:
GIA report 1159866454 (SGD 4,000 with setting)
GIA report 2186802340 (SGD 5,800 with setting)

Do u have the scope images? U ever heard of hca scores?

I don't have the scope image, HCA scores yes ive heard of them but these diamonds are GIA certified only

Do the diamonds characteristics mentioned in the GIA report matter?

I think your choice is good! Gives the most bang of your buck based on carat, clarity and colour assuming all are super ideal cut from JP

HCA score is one thing. You can't just rely on the score. You need to check the scopes too.
A badly cut diamond can still have a low HCA score. It's only a filter.

Btw, your diamond have fluorescene le.. No point getting a good color and clarity if there's flourescence.

I don't think they're super ideal.. HCA score is not that good..

I think I read off somewhere some diamonds have blue flourescene and they are good? But I guess that isn't the case here right

Thanks, definitely have to look at them in person before deciding. Under normal light, why faint fluorescence be triggered or it will look normal?

Fluorescence will only be triggered under UV light. Meaning when you are outdoors. It can have a cloudy effect on your diamond and give it an off color. I read fluorescence can be good if you go for lousy colors and clarity like J color, etc. Cos the cloudy and off color effect will counter the yellow color. But for high colors and clarity, its no good because it will make the diamond look worse when outdoors. That's also why better specs diamonds with fluorescence are sold cheaper for this negative effect.
