one down, eight to go

source

he got the chrono, i got the blings.
so yesterday, we officially done with one dulang each for hantaran - watches :)

prior to Put's wedding yesterday, we went to The Garden and pay our frequent look-look-see-see visit to Selberan. their SA told they'll no longer carry Lazare diamond in future, therefore those remaining Lazares are now on clearance at 40% off. the left ones were smaller in carat, but being me, the first C that i'm concerned with is CUT. as long it's right, ideal cut, im fine with even that tiny 0.2c hehe. i wont be able to explain the significance, you'll finally know as more walk-ins you do to jewellery shops :)

p/s : selamat pengantin baru to Put, Hanie & Anil...to Hanie, maaf tidak dapat memenuhi jemputan - ade emergency sikit pasal our bibik. no rezeki to makan free hari ni hehe.

hi, honestly i'm not an expert..sikit2 bolehlah share..

it's actually craftmanship in cutting diamond facets..perfectly cut diamond will determine the reflection of bright white light (brilliance) - which contributes heavily to diamond's value. i'll let your jeweller to share those 8 hearts & 8 arrows k.

however, cut not easily defined by naked eyes as to carat - the best is to get the certified ideal cut (try Lazare, HOF, Estrella) & non side by side to get you screaming "ooh" and "aah" hehehe!

sorry if not that helpful..info ade sikit je hehe

p/s : Habib HOF having 30% disc @ KLCC until 28th June..usually max 10% je :)

Babe,go for HOF.

And go for loose diamond. Get the band customized for you.

Lazare,I've asked before.For a loose diamond, 0.3 carat,I colour and SI, costs roughly about 5k. Plus the casing (on how many numbers of prongs you like),about 6k++.

HOF 0.3 carat, VS1, G colour (obviously higher spec than Lazare I mentioned above), almost 5k.Plus casing around 6k++.Plus selalu keluar dlm Martha Stewart's mag!! Hehehe.

So the deal is HOF coz of the higher grade but similar price.

But hurmpp..since Lazare is having a clearance sale,might be a good deal too.

Tapi kan,yg takut kalau beli HOF is the workmanship.Kan habib yg akan buat the workmanship..and normally I heard horror stories...but maybe kalau diamond dh semahal tuh,they will do it more properly kot. =)

Degem & Selberan,mmg konfem high class workmanship.

I'm so jealous of you! If only I was rich. *sighs*

You choose. Good luck!

hi TSS, where have u been...?!

me neither a rich brat la, me too got to compromise carat for a good cut diamond :)

my BFF freaked me out with her horror story when she saw cracked diamond being sold at Habib & one of the diamond tu siap tanggal from the band - and both happened on same day? she never did any return from the day on, trauma hehe. i frust Habib SA ni double standard, unlike other reputable jewellers like Selberan, DeGem & D&P..customer service tiptop & their SAs are knowledgable & no pandang org sebelah mata kind..my opinion :D

Lazare from Selberan susah if any future prob..cos they no longer carry Lazare in future.plus De Gem not accepting outside Lazare for any service or upgrade.

semalam i check out Le Lumiere 0.3+c loose diamond, G color, VS1 selling at rm3k+..GIA certified with triple excellent, quite a bargain kan (definitely not comparable to famous Lazare hehe). including 4-prong white gold band around rm4k and that's the only one left too hehe!

but so far, i found Estrella's most affordable for perfect cut diamond. last time i check for 0.3c solitaire with mini diamonds both sides (the minis are Estrella too!) going for less than rm4k, including platinum band. but tak ingat detail spec *sigh

u petroleum engineer lagi banyak duit hehe!

hi wlt..

thanks for the info :)

my personal point of view..i like estrella and the price is reasonable among all. and when the SA actually showed the diamond under that loupe, i can actually see the perfect hearts and arrows.

i just noticed your reply harini and menyesal tak bace earlier sbb sgt informative especially from other readers coz I just got my 'rock' yesterday hu hu
