Proposal Ring - Part 2

[Yingmu]

Hi Yingmu, it's without setting, plain setting need to top up $550.

IMO, the price seems reasonable. I got mine 0.61 E VVS2 Super Ideal for $6,150, with normal setting.

To all masters here,

just get the quote from JP,
for the stone like the spec below is about

Round Solasfera Brilliance 2k plus plus or Super ideal 2 plus abit
.3 Carat F VS1

do you think will it be better if i trade off clarity to vs2 n get bigger carat with the similar price?

 

[bleahx]

VS2 is good enough if it's eye clean. Suggest to go for a larger carat size.

How large do you think while taking VS2 with the similar price tag? possible to reach .5?

Size will depend on the colour and cut. It's best to let the shop know your budget and bring out a few options for you to compare under different lighting conditions. Quote a slightly lower budget so that you can request for larger diamonds later on and ask for discount to fit your real budget.

TLDR. I think I got sucked into the mindset of three months pay and it didn't help my friends all bought very nice 1.2+ with good specs. That being said do you guys buy from retailers or wholesalers here? I went to a specialist importer in Australia when I got mine for my fiancé.

Set a budget and stick to it. 3 months of salary might as well use it for a good Europe trip with your wife.

Nice ring design! I like how the owl head is supported the diamond
How long do they need to do something like that? Looks quite intricate

As im not in the rush to get it, it took about 2-3weeks to wait for the 3d rendering and 7-8weeks for the crafting after confirmation

Hi guys, is plain setting or with side diamonds more popular?
Main diamond is an Octagon.

If its plain, I'm thinking of something like this.. something more unique.

Or is with side diamonds like this better?

You can check the past posts to compare. Anyway, their prices are consistent and should be arnd there.. They usually send out the scopes in a week.. Or you can email them to rush it out for you. Haha

Hi just sharing my views since I have gotten mine.. Do you think your fiancé is someone who will be wearing her ring on a daily basis? If yes, no side diamonds may be more suitable for her in terms of maintenance.

Is she someone who likes fancy stuff or simplicity? If she prefers those fancy big rings, side diamonds or halo settings may be suitable for her.

Does she have average Asian size fingers or slightly bigger? If she has petite fingers, the focus could be on making it simple and classic.

Personally, I had slightly bigger fingers so I felt that side diamonds will make my diamond pop more and not appear so small. FYI my carat is around 0.57.

4 prong or 6 is also worth considering because too small a carat may not look nice with 6 prongs and that's the mistake I had :/

Am personally thinking of resetting my diamond with a bigger one in one or two years time before I get married.

Thanks for the feedback!

I think she will wear it on a daily basis.. and I hope she does.. Her finger size is average.. its not petite or big. I feel for practicality purpose, the plain one will be better and a safe choice. Just that I also feel that the side diamonds makes the ring look more special and have that 'wow' factor.

My diamond is the Octagon shape and they advised me to have it in 4 prongs.

Btw, do you wear your diamond ring and wedding band separately or together?

My SO wears her ring side by side. haha they like them side by side so looks more blingbling! nowadays more common alrdy.

I just made an appointment with JannPaul after reading all these post here.
Is there anything I should prepare beforehand or read up first before I go down with my Hubs?
first time so feeling very lost.

Hm, you can do some quick research on the 4C and diamond shapes.
