Front block third floor just to the left when you get off the escalator. He does training for all the big Gem handling firms, so if you want to brush up on gemology do the course. I might, look like a bit of a laugh.

Say goodbye to our two newbies Shazz & Dentan55. I believe the are the same guy who tried this last year as well. Anyway, sure looks suspicious with both are using the same IP address and both are(were) newbies.

Is this offer still open RULDS ??

May I ask why a VS2? While, the diamond is a beauty, it is often not the best value for your money, in fact...you may be wasting a lot of money.

If you buy a GIA certified diamond, you will not have any carbon or feathers in the diamond to the naked eye at the SI level (SI1 or SI2). So whether you get a VS2 or an SI2, to the average person you can't tell the difference.

I know this diamond is not a VS2 but an SI2 and smaller, I just pulled this quote for a local lad here in Singapore and I had it handy in an email. You won't find a cheaper price, if so...let me know because I will start buying my diamonds from them instead of the diamond cutters I have. You can bencmark from this (prices in US dollars):

Cts. Color Clarity Polish Sym. Flourescence Cut Cert. Price
.52 E SI2 Good Good Medium VG GIA $1015
.54 F SI2 Good VG None VG GIA $1039
.53 G SI2 VG VG None Ex/Ideal GIA $1050

Just a note there was a big scam last year or thereabout where GIA certificate were forged. Alway ask to get a second valuation.

Can I ask a 'dumb' question?

If the diamond is enhanced, aka man-made or Russian or etc, will there be a GIA certificate? Does the GIA certificate mean that it is a 'true' diamond? Does it also mean that it does not come from dubious areas e.g. Sierra Leone where blood diamonds are common?

Thanks.

hmmm has anyone looked at diamond jewellery from Just Diamonds? I think it's freom Dfred or dunno how it's spelled. They have this perfect match rings. My fren wore it to work last week. It looks like 1 whole big piece, but it's actually many small pieces of diamonds put together. Hers costs around $9k (can't really rmb...). But it looks really nice and much more affordable!

I wonder you all know of other cheaper but authentic diamond jewellery outside? I hope to get one nice one too, but budget constraint...

My mum actually got something (actually afew somethings ^^ )from Just Diamonds , one ring and one pendant , both from their perfect match series.

She really loves them alot, my mum's a diamond person ^^ I think Just Diamonds do have very very good quality , but pricing wise, not bad. My two cent's worth.

Don't buy diamonds people, this is probably the worst industry to put money in.
