Proposal Ring - Part 3

@miltah @Hope84:

Yeah i guess, i hope something that fits our profile comes by and that it wouldn't be too long of a wait. As much as DSS is a real thing, 2ct is a little too much at this point. We might settle for a 1.7-1.9ct for now. Thank you so much for the advice!

Hello guys... would like some expertise on this diamond. its a vs2 but the inclusions are a little on the scary side for me. I've marked out the areas in blue. Is this normal? and would these cause any durability issues? Many thanks..

I dont think the blue areas you circle are the inclusions except the one on the hearts. The looks more like the facet reflections to me. Your inclusions are crystal and cloud which is safe. It's only a durability issue if the inclusions is on the surface, like feather inclusions on the girdle.

Its white inclusions not black so that’s fine, also what you circled are Color reflections when they take the scopes. Other than that there’s no needles, chips or feathers that can cause durability issues. It’s a good vs2!

Thank you fellas for the response! i feel more comforted now. onwards to my 3D renders!

After 2 years:
- it’s less GST
- less recertification cost ($200-300)
- less scrap value of metal ($50-100 for white gold)

Hi Miltah and Hope, have always been lurking on this forum. For trade in, do they give exact value less GST? e.g. if diamond was 7.1k, will they give 6.35k or take from 7k/round down value after taking away GST?
Thanks!

Got it. After less GST, also exact value right? How much value does the setting usually retain?

off topic, but wanted to ask if anyone here has taken over a wedding banquet booking from a reseller?

was it difficult to convince parents and in-laws?

Yes exact value - GST.
For setting I am not sure if white gold cos mine is platinum.

Collected our ring from Jannpaul and very happy with it! After much wait, the final ring looks perfect. Diamond is super stunning and the gf absolutely loves her ring. We went to shop together and was given the diamond education by Eugene, then our follow up appointments was with Casey as Eugene was on leave. Great service by them and we later realised that Casey was the one that does their youtube videos online. Very lucky to have met him by chance.

Took a video of the ring in the store while collecting our ring. The diamond is extremely sparkly. The sparkles was like shooting left right centre everywhere. lol

The gf / now fiance wore the ring immediately after collection. Took some photos and videos outside their store. Even without the strong shop lights, the diamond was very colorful and bright outside.

This is a close up photo of the ring taken at home. I used a led torchlight to to shine on the ring for this shot.

We reserved their cushion brellia with them too to customise a pendant design. Can't wait to see what they come up with for me

[mikechanchop]

The diamond itself is 19k. Its a super ideal cut 1.21 F VS1

Not sure how to create a new post lol - how do you create lol? Can any experts share if on cert it says “surface graining is not shown” what does that mean?

Means it’s not plotted on the cert.

If it’s AGS or GIA surface graining not shown is fine. Surface graining are grain lines or faint lines caused post polishing usually because of irregular crystal growth. Imagine the molecules of the diamond growing in from left to right, but a certain part grows in an opposite direction. Then when polished it forms lines seen under 20+ magnification. You should be worried if it’s SI or below or some lesser known cert as it can cause cloudiness or a change in refraction of light.
