Proposal Ring - Part 2

[whatatoot]

Anyone getting one soon?

So many in the market don't know which to choose. GoldHeart and Lee Hwa is my choice now.

Budget around 1k

There is a sale for Lee Hwa. Thou i am not sure if these sales are just gimmicks or really good deals~

That's a fierce ring bro..

The diamond on the side looks like pear shape diamonds.. I might be wrong though.

Ya.. it is a pear shape.. checked them already

Went to check them out already.. wasn't impressed.
Most are not even triple excellent... had to check one by one for fluorescence.. the few triple excellent ones I found had HCA scores like 4. For that kind of quality, it's not worth it even with the discounts.

Thank you. I was reading up on HCA, GIA and AGS. Can a diamond have all 3 reports or only 1? Sorry quite confused.....

that diamond usually has GIA or AGS...

HCA is always available because it's just based on specs of the diamond

 

[whatatoot]

Correct me if i am wrong. GIA and AGS are both certifying authority or standards. HCA is a way of grading the light return?



Thank you.

 

[elnos86]

I wouldn't consider HCA as a report... its more of an extra tool to tell if the diamond is good or not in terms of the proportions.. like if the diamond is cut too long, wide, narrow, etc.

You can calculate the HCA score yourself, Holloway Cut Advisor | HCA Tool | PriceScope

I've never seen a diamond with a GIA and AGS cert together.. it's either one of them only.

To grade the light performance, you will need to use the Ideal and ASET scopes.

Hi, does JannPaul still offer 0% interest installment plan?

If I remember correctly, they take arnd 4 weeks to handcraft a ring..
My budget isn't as big as yours... but I know around 4k+ can get me about 0.6carat range.

JannPaul have interest free installment plans. If can, should use the Manhatten card.. got 5%... more wu hua.

 

[sneggg]

JP installment plan is for all credit cards ?

I did mine with 12 months DBS CC.. not sure about the rest

 

[Hellooo]

if pay by cash in jannpaul, will it be cheaper?

 

[Inzaghi09]

payment by cash is cheaper by 2%... with manhatten card, can get 5% rebate...

manhatten t&c applies... if your ring costs more than 4k, and you somehow manage to use other's manhatten cards (eg. your friend's, etc), you can split the bill.. get more rebates since the max rebate for each quarter is $200 per card..

I have remaining 4900 to pay for a 0.6...
Can I pay 4000 first, den the rest pay by installment?
4000 use manattan to entitle myself for 5%...
Then 900 pay by DBS instalment???

 

[kurarensu]
