Hi,

Congrats to you

well, it got to depend on your budget, the spec and design of the ring you want.

My husband didnt give me a proposal ring as we were married due to pregnancy=(

I thought that I will not mind bout this but however whenever i saw my friends or relative with a nice diamond ring i will start to envy them...

I dont know how to bring this up to him.. mayb i should just buy for myself=(

Hi, can I ask is Lee Hwa destinee rings better or Love & co. I heard from both that they have ideal cuts and that private dealers do not offer ideal cuts. However I really love Love & co rings selections as they have more designs. Not really an expert in finding rings. So hope to get some advice here.

Guys.....

If quality is what you seek then I would recommend my jeweler; Mrs Phua from "House of Phua".

My fiancé use her for my engagement ring & our wedding bands.

Do let me know if you guys need more details.

Congratulations! The best time is when he gave you a proposal ring I got mine from Fairy's inc. They have a very vintage design. I actually dragged him there to have a look with me. I told him which design i wanted and he just need to pick the size of the DIAMOND LOL!

With fairy's inc, you can also design your own and have them made just for you. They also have their official website, you can take a look !

If you're practical, ask your bf his budget. Browse around in the beginning. And when you're ready to buy, go to jewelry stores and ask to see their list of diamond ring inventory. Usually they have a spreadsheet. Compare all the rings within your budget. Don't even look at the rings itself first because the bling bling will blind you silly.

If the first shop doesn't have what you want within your budget, go to the second, third, fourth shop. Keep doing this to get the best value for money.

Ok this is just really practical and exactly what I did. It's not the most romantic way to buy diamond ring but end of the day, who will have the last laugh?

Hello! IMO, I prefer love & co better than Lee Hwa too! Previously I went searching for rings and got really great service from Love & co located at Orchard. Anyway, FYI, I ended up purchasing my ring from Exotic Gems & Jewellery from Alicia Chua. Reason being the quality is comparable but the price is cheaper, I got the GIA certificate too. I think she's nice cos she isn't pushy and she also offered us free ring size change, this helps when/IF I put on weight (which happened to some of my friends). This shop is special also because you can customized your ring design! So I thought it's better since people look at your ring instead of where you buy the ring from. Let me know if you need her contact, hope this helps!

Agree with you, Compare all the rings within budget.
