It''s getting closer to our wedding day (on january 200 and I''m looking for both engagement ring & wedding ring.
So I have several questions
* Considering that I''m in melbourne and a newbie in buying diamond, where should I buy my diamond from?
Should I buy from US (pricescope diamond search linked to jamesallen etc) or here in Melbourne (diamondexchange / empress diamond) ?
Because from the price comparison that I did for .52 F SI2 it''s a bit cheaper to buy it from diamond exchange.
(I will go to their office this friday / saturday to check their diamond though).
as posted by betternotbiggerdiamond (sorry to hijack your wording here ), I want a better diamond, not a bigger one (will upgrade later if have some money left ). I want a stone with excellent symmetry and amazing fire.
My requests:
At least a .50 ct
Excellent symmetry, it must be a well cut stone
Faceted girdle (i''m not even sure what is this )
F+ color..
VS2-SI2 in clarity...
I went to preciousmetal brighton last saturday, love the ring (.5 solitaire white gold), but it''s too expensive for me
* regarding the ring, I would like to make it from platinum.
I do realize that it''s more expensive than white gold. But some jeweler said it will looks better as it''s age. Is that right?
Any suggestion where should I make the rings (engagement and wedding rings)?
Because I shop around (online and from jewelry shops), and get a quote ranging from $400 (online/http://www.seaofdiamonds.com/) - $2000 for the wedding ring alone..
I mean, is there any difference between $600 plat wedding band with $2000 plat wedding band?
Help needed asap!
