All About Diamonds

[verykiasu2010]

haha…quite a hilarious thread


we want to get a solitaire to celebrate our 10 years of marriage - some years ago - but the jeweler did not deliver it on the day we wanted as promised by them even after we made full payment… ended up with a full refund from the shop and till now don’t have the solitaire…and still blacklist that shop

to me, the more critical criteria is colour and clarity …

Funz:

Those whose PILs bought jewellery for them, good oredi lah. Mine nothing, we had to pay for MIL's cheong sum and FIL's suit instead.

Same here No jewellery at all. Even the 聘金 (in the form of wedding dinner tables) was from our own pockets.

My hubby & I paid for all the expenses too. If you want PILs to pay for your wedding dinner.... :lol: wait long long.....

F.Y.I, my parents return the Ang bao for the 10 tables they asked for.

i will go for colour too, follow by clarity.. :love:


esp the bigger the rock, the more impt the colour i feel as i always see those big big ones from taka.. true, v big but oso can tell the stone is yellowish instead of bright and white sparkling ones..

really is 一分钱一分货..

Tiffany has nice designs although not copyrighted I'd think. Larry's is the go-to name apparently. My engagement ring was from Larry and this lady has had so many referrals from us, me thinks we should get her to give us a huge discount for my 10th year anniversary rock. :rubhands:

According to the Larry website, they recommend Cut over the other Cs esp. when you do not have unlimited budget.


I agree too as Cut is the factor that provides the sparkles in a diamond.
