[fat_ger]

Woo, so expensive. luckily you never bought it.
Just to ask you, the diamond they quoted you is solitaire or?? If is solitaire, is sure to be expensive.. can cost up till 8K and above.

[fat_ger]

Hi clare,

You mean you intend to do a trade in or get a brand new one? I got my ring from this brand called defred, i find it nice. But what is your budget and spec for the ring?

 

[clare_tcl83]

Helo fat ger,
I have pass my proposal ring to eclarity to put my diamond into my wedding band design. As we custom made our wedding bands.
The ring he gave me is a small diamond...so he promise to upgrade to a 0.5 one...
So i m actuali getting a new one...
Specs:
Carat: 0.47-0.50
Color: D-F
Clarity: VVS1-VS2
Cut: Excellent
Polish: Excellent
Symmetry: Excellent
GIA cert
I saw one few from eclarity...price varies frm 1800-2500
I was tinking can i get it cheaper else where?

 

[fat_ger]

woo.. that is quite cheap already with this kind of spec. can buy.

 

[purplebottle]

clare_tcl83 (clare_tcl83): I did some comparison for eclarity, ling and fairy's inc and I think ling's and fairy's inc's prices are friendlier

 

[judytan]

Anyone here heard of Vivo Diamonds? The prices seems to be so much more affordable compared to lee hwa, goldheart, etc

 

[clare_tcl83]

>>fat ger, thanks for sharing...i think i keep my option open 1st, till i reali find one that is value for $$

>> Fairy Inc and Ling's i tot they are more high ends? so i did not check it out....
Wat is the price u get from there?

 

[vicki]

Judy, I got my pendant (custom made) and tennis braclet (3 carat) for less than $4300 from Vivo.

 

[purplebottle]

Hmm, their prices may seem higher compared to the chain stores but it is because their diamonds are better. Their diamonds are usually triple excellent which is harder to find in chain stores.

 

[judytan]

hi Vicki, that price seems really affordable.

I read on their website that Vivo Diamonds is located at Far East Shopping Centre? Have you visited them or did you order online?

 

[vicki]

Ya, i visited them at Far East cos i was told they have better diamond grade there..

 

[jessie_c]

I got a dimond heart pendant from Tianpo to let go. Anyone would be keen? U can trade in for new one. PM me for qns if keen. Thanks.

 

[lahgal]

Hi, I got my engagement ring from
Yuen Tung (Wah Kee) Gems & Jewellery
1093 Lower Delta Road #07-09 TIONG BAHRU INDUSTRIAL ESTATE
I recommend this place coz they have alot of ring etc 4prong or 6prong to choose. And their diamonds have alot of grades it depends on your budget, after I bought from this place, diamonds I see at Lxx Hxx or Sxx Kxx is nothing..

 

[bibao]

Hi, mayuki, hw much u sellin the pendant for? Is it quite new? thanks!

 

[judytan]

hi vicki, would you mind showing a picture how your tennis bracelet and pendant looks like. My colleague also bought from Vivo Diamonds and it is a pair of diamond dangling earrings, which I totally adore...

 

[jessie_c]

Anyone keen on my pendant?

 

[qingqingl]

hi im looking for an engagement ring. Anyone has any advice what kind of stats should i be looking at with a 5-6k budget and a 1carat diamond size?

Is there anyway to customise my ring still? Since this is going to be the first ring from my fiance, I will like it to be unique and special.

Thanks

 

[fat_ger]

Hi Qing qing,

What kind of spec you looking at? With 1 carat, should be easy to get it within your budget. I got mine at $4k

 

[qingqingl]

coolie,

Defred? I thought they are a MLM company? My fiance and friends are v against it when i told them abt it. I heard v bad reviews from other forums abt them. You have any other retailers that i can go?

 

[bluemage]

Dear all

Im lookin for an engagement ring as well.
After comparing vivo and eclarity with bluenile, it appears to me that bluenile, after the 7% GST, is still cheaper for the same quality. Is that true?

And are there any other online diamond shops here in Singapore, i only know vivo, sheer, eclarity.

 

[fat_ger]

Hi bryan,

you seem like got very good knowledge in diamond. What is your budget? For the above spec, i guess it will cost a bomb.

 

[邵敏郡主]

Hi all! I had a look at the rings at Charlotte Atelier and Larry and I really like them. But, soomeone told my dear dear that he can consider getting from bluenile dot com or goodoldgold dot com. Would you all prefer getting it online (where it is supposedly cheaper), or from a brick and mortar store?

 

[fat_ger]

hi èµµæ•,

Larry is quite expensive, but their diamond is high grade one. I do not trust online as i scare kena 'chop'.. What is your budget? Perhaps can get much more valuable one.
