Are you going to these 2 countries?

I am passing through Hong Kong on my way back from Europe. As I live in Australia, I would make a trip to Singapore if the diamonds were available and prices were well below those in Melbourne. This is the most expensive jewellery purchase I have ever made and I just want to research all my options.

Hi Kevin
Very many thanks for your PM. I found the section on diamond buying in Singapore on your website www.proposalring.com very useful. I am amazed that this is the only information I have been able to get so far. It brought back fond memories reading about your proposal and the process you went through buying an engagement ring yourself. I wish you and your fiancee many years of happiness together.
Regards,

Thanks Angela. I am just trying to share my knowledge. Some people question my intent. I know that some people think that I am shill, but I truly am not. I'm glad you found my website useful.

I hope that you will find your dream diamond soon.
