Ytd i was shopping for a proposal ring... I was walking around tampines mall/one area, after going through all the shops i was deciding on a 0.46carat color D clarity VVS1, EX,VG,VG from Soo kee. the SE quoted me $2499 after resetting and everything.

 

i was wondering i whether or not its a good deal. i suddenly tot of my buddy's gf, who is somewhat a expert in diamonds. she told me a proposal ring is supposed to be 4x my monthly income. and my gf deserve morethan a 0.44 $2.5k ring i was like, like that i must spend more than $10k liao.

 

she also advise that no point gg to the general shops as im actually paying for the brand. she told me she wanna recommend me a few private custom jewellers to custom set for me

 

im wondering how much u guys spend on the ring that make u go on ur knees and whether u all got custom jewellers to intro anot... i dont mind spending but most impt must get best deal

 

seriously, ur color is the best and clarity is 2nd best... somemore 0.44c for $2.5k shld be quite normal...

pls check the GIA cert and see whether how many excellent or very good there is...

once u decided to pay for it, request them to let u see the GIA no engraved on the diamond whether tally wif the cert or not... (most important)

i think girls (accordingly to my wife)

 

dun compare the absolute amount, i.e. price tag

 

they compare the "no. of times the monthly salary of the hubby" the ring is bought at.
