Proposal Ring - Part 2

[Milo-Dino]

oh...u were thinking of a 0.6+ at what color and clarity??

maybe u can ask for a lower color? G color and VS2? maybe can hit ur price for the 0.7.

or ask for 0.67~0.68??it would be closer to what ur gf wants. Guess its once a lifetime yeah

I already deposit for a G 0.63 VVS2. They didn't have any bigger 0.6x ones

 

[NoviaL]

wah ok.. so you went with your bf....

I went with another guy friend who should be getting married soon also. Getting the ring is to be a "surprise" for my gf although she has been hinting and saying she wants 0.7

Yap..I went with my guy..he's a practical man...he say he will be more willing to buy something which I like than he like..as I'm the one who will be wearing...ur gf say want 0.7 but did she try it on her fingers? Because I myself have a 0.26cts ring so I told my guy as long as bigger than that can already..although I wish for at least a 0.5 la..but now that I got a 0.46, I'm ok with it..because I know I will have a better colour n cut..I know if can compromise to G colour and cut to VS2..I may get the 0.5..but anyway, the money is spend more on the colour and cut..cuz mine is 0.46 colour E and cut VS1..and Hca 1.3..so yup..

ya she did... she tried the tian po hearts on fire series 0.71ct.... with a whooping price of $17k

I thought it looked abit too big... but she of course thinks it's ok...

but ok la.. she willing to take 0.6... colour wise, we couldn't tell the difference between F and G at other jewellery shops like goldheart etc

Oh...so u talked to her? Well..don't worry..I believe If u're comparing the massive production jewellers...I think jp's will not disappoint ur gf ba..because in the end, it's the bling bling effect that attracts...haha..congrats! !

 

[Ms_Spellbound]

Just visit JP..and I would really say..they are really super frank and willing to share their experiences...so in the end, I'm sticking to my initial purchase...he explained that it was cloud and I also wore my super clear "zeiss" lens glasses to see clearly..n since since its a lot small small spots then ok..if 1 or 3 spots very pan dang..haha..anyway, he also told me it's rare to have a 0.46 in the shop..so far he only saw 4 throughout his 3 yrs in jp..so I guess I'm very lucky as I avoided the jump to 0.5...am a happy girl now..haha..n also requested him for a ring tracker

What is a ring tracker and how do i get it?

Size wise .54 would be much better, you can really tell the difference if you are going to compare it to .50. Between the two,.02 is really a small difference.

H&A of .52 looks better than .54 ;-)

Color Wise F to G are both good choice, Clarity VS1 is nice as well.

200SGD goes to the .02 jump on the size and G to F jump on the color.

Go for the .54 diamond, and keep your 200sgd in preparation if you want the settings with meeles ;-) (ordinary setting starts 500, with meeles starts 900)

Both are really good diamonds, I should say.

SUPER good...what's the damage? Mind sharing?

 

[Milo-Dino]

I already deposit for a G 0.63 VVS2. They didn't have any bigger 0.6x ones

This is the one I placed a deposit for...

HCA

ASET scope... does it look abit imbalanced? or is it more of the angle that the scope took the photo?

Ideal scope

This H&A looks alright though...

comments?

With a budget of less than 5k. What's the size of diamond can I expect to get from JP?

The diamond looks slightly tilted to the sideway in the Aset scope.. Can see it from the bezel light leakages part...

 

[epiphany01]

hi guys... am still scouting around with intention to go to JP as my last stop. but just for my own budgeting purposes first, may I know how much would a Solasfera cost for the following parameters? just a rough gauge would do

1 - 1.2 carat range
VS2 - VVS2
G-E range

thank you!

 

[benfire7]

hmm~~

With a budget of less than 5k. What's the size of diamond can I expect to get from JP?

at least 0.6~~~~

 

[benfire7]

wellll~~~

0.62

Triple excellent
VS2
F Colour

4.9k without setting

Well, for people who want spotless diamond... I have found a reason to convince, console or wahtsoever wanna it call...

I have 2 spots on H&A anyway...so
2 spots equal (me and her) only....
after etch and setting, wont be able to see anyway...

For 1 spot - only one love
hopefully yours have no 3 spots...
For 4 spots - You, Her, and 2 children...
many spots> glazing stars just like her
