Its an in-house ring maybe? How can we tell that the ring is indeed white gold 18 K, is there any certification for the ring?

Anyone here knows Tay Kim Seng (Poh Kim jewellery)? I got his contact from my friend. He is more on wholesaler of the diamond instead of store. Any opinion? The person is quite helpful.

If it's really 18k gold, it should have a "750" chop on the ring.
Did you check the diamond with the scopes for light leakages?

why is your setting only half-priced @ 250? :(

Hi guys,

I am kinda new on this diamond thingy..

I plan to buy a diamond ring - 0.71 carat, E, vs1, excellent cut (GIA report - 2186631960). The person quoted me for SGD5750 for the diamond and SGD250 for the setting - classic solitaire tiffany white gold 18K..do you think its a good buy?

Should i go for vvs or vs for the clarity? Understand that it wont make any difference to the naked eyes..is that true?

Appreciate the help..thanks..

In terms of pricing, you should go to several shops/sellers with similar specs. Another way of checking whether the price is reasonable is check it on james allen or blue nile.

For clarity, VVS would require a microscope. For VS, would probably need a very trained naked eye to see it.

Your jeweller should be able to show u the inclusions under magnification.

GIA specs look good. HCA score of 1.0 is good too. The rest will need to see scope images.

Thanks! Will upload the scope images when I receive them :)

I actually forgot to ask about the inclusion when viewing the diamond. pardon my noob question, but will inclusion be included in the scope images?

The diamond cert should have the type and location of the inclusions. :)

You can also use the Ideal scope to see there is any light leakages. :)

Hello

Attached are the diamond I purchased.. Is it good?

From what I see the arrows inside is not so symmetrical although I am not a pro in this.
Any help will be appreciated

Are those inclusions or dirt at 12, 1 and 6 o'clock?

If it's VS1/2, you shld be able to see inclusions under scope.
If it's VVS1/2, then not visible under scope.

GIA cert only shows the clarity plot for 1ct and above :)

I see. That's why I can only find the type of inclusion in the cert but not the location?
If it's not visible under the scope for vsvvs2, then is there any other way where i can find out where the inclusions are located? just want to make sure that it's not near the girdle as i read that it may result in the chipping of the diamond upon impact.

Depends. The VVS2 I viewed has quite clear inclusions under the scope. But VS1 don't have. So I guess luck also plays a part whether your diamond has inclusion or not.

I'm so excited to collect my ring!

Ermm... if the diamond is a VS or VVS should not have to worry about inclusions near the girdle. =:p
