Decided to go over check out Kimberly Diamonds @ Holiday Inn Atrium, Havelock road 2 weeks ago after seeing their advertisement on the Straits Times.

Curious to find out why their prices are so low compare to the Lee Hwa's and Soo Kee's.

First impression the decor of the office was very classy, like those high-end lounge setting. Everything was decked out in Black & Gold.

Was serve by Justin, very knowledgeable, not like your typical sales person. He was more interested in helping me pick a stone within my budget and think of a setting for my girlfriend.

Never pushy, yet very accommodating to my endless question.

Shortlisted 2 stones:
1) E Color, 1.07 Carat, Clarity: VS1
2) G Color 1.00 Carat, Clarity: SI1


After shopping around again, decided price was a huge factor.

Also upon my girl friend's request, I committed to the 1.07 E Color with a separate full eternity band.

Can view the finish products at their facebook page, facebook.com/kimberlydiamondsSG, looking to propose this Valentine's Day!



Why am I writing this?
I have so many friends around our age looking to get the "Perfect" proposal ring and the mainstream shops are just charging too expensive.

Kimberly Diamonds is truly professional and their prices are really reasonable.

Cannot imagine paying 30%-40% more if I didn't purchase my rings from them.

Appalled their prices and great service.



Cheers,
Wilson

had an appt yest..
kinda disappointed.. =(
wasnt served by Jann Paul or Casy but rather their team =(
as I was hoping to learn more from experienced experts..
Nonetheless, I tried to find out more thus i asked what is important to look out for when choosing a diamond
and i just got the normal 4Cs description which i believed she thought i didnt know.
Oh well no hard feelings as i still looked like a kid =(
but well i got none of the info that i have further read online and from you ppl.

But still on a good pt..
she wasnt pushy, or hard-selling which i like.
and was very patient as i kept wanting to see different ring setting, as i wanna comepare with those i see on their fb.
And also assisting me in many requests and questions thru emails.
*im a very picky person*


As for me, Budget is an important factor.
am looking at ard 4k with a decent cut diamond with the lowest clarity and color they can provide which is about vs2/G.

But that aside, ive got a few questions.

b1 | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
1.This is Bad right??

2. Is AGS cert good??

3. If according to the abv pic.. is the diamond able to shine at its best?

4. Some of you mentioned that they got some machine to see the diamond.
is it to have a closer view of the diamond??

Tks to all u Gurus out there.

Edited the good pts.


Well ive decided to add my 2nd appt input here as my 2nd input was totally different.

I arrived at 9ish 10. Served by sales staff Michelle .
She felt warmer this time. Guess she was anxious the last time, im not sure. This time she shared more info with me with me struggling to rmb my questions.
Lol such a joke.

Anyway this visit was very pleasent but made even better when she asked Jann to assist her as I kept insisting that diamond A look better than diamond B.
After a long discussion with Jann I finally understood the reasons. Which is that cos of the good light return that out shine the image I am.looking for, thus am not able to see the image I am looking for. And yes, after confirmation, Jann went ahead to discuss with me my requirements and some designs pro and cons. Indeed I learnt quite abit from Michelle but more from Jann.

Anyway, if Jann were to assist me from the start of my shopping experience, it would be 9 outta 10.
But well, despite a part of me feeling the diamond is inperfect(it really is from the magnified pix), I still decided if i should make the purchase. As
1. My budget isnt very high and I only want angel cut and I dont think I can wait for the next batch to come in.
2. I am too picky, too detailed. (Imagine I can spot the difference in facet with naked eyes.)
3. Date is in 3mths time.

So yeah!

Edited : added 2nd visit

That's the square hearts and arrows diamond.
AGS is a safe cert.. just make sure its all Ideal (0) and not Excellent becos the cut grade system is different.

The pic you link is from the AGS cert right? It is just an estimate.. not an accurate picture.

From what I remember, their session includes the normal 4Cs and the 3 different scopes. Did you use the Aset, Ideal and Hearts and arrows scope to see the diamonds?

Hi Bro!

Tks for the assurance. yes its AGS.

im just concern the hearts and arrows frm the cutlet view is very outta shape..
and most of the right picture is light leakages. (in grey) ( is it suppose to be like that?)

Any idea how to view it the most accurately?

TKS SO MUCH BRO Bedposthalo!

Hi have noob questions. What are the basic different types if rings required? Is it proposal ring and wedding bands?
I see the term engagement ring being used too, us that the same as proposal ring?
From some of the posts, it seems like the guy and gal go to Jann Paul together to buy diamond ring. Is that the proposal ring? If so has the guy already proposed verbally first without any proposal ring, and then bring the gal to the shop to buy proposal ring together, or something else? If so, won't the gal be unhappy that the guy did not surprise her with a proposal ring initially?
Thanks

I think it depends on the girl... some girls prefer surprise, while some prefer to choose the ring herself since it is hers to "flaunt" to her friends... both got pros and cons...

pros is she will know more abt the ring that u are buying for her and u could get an actual size for her finger... cons... the non surprise element as she know that u alr "plan" to propose to her... which means u need to create another surprising atmosphere for her if not she will be waiting and waiting...
