Phantom

Thanks. What was i thinking? lol.. yes the "kewlet" was wrong spelling.. i think i was hungry. same here. no fluorescence. =) oh well, impt thing is she likes it.. lol... did a tiffany type of setting... coz i can't afford the "real" thing. lol..

See before also. lol. No joke. was "working" around my area last time...

WAHAHAHA.. You are right lor, the satisfaction is really priceless. Its also nice to be able to tell friends if they ask that its the hubby that buy one.. isn't that right? lol A jeweller once told me that if really pressed for budget, and really want to get a colour that is lower than DEF, try to get a diamond that has strong flourescence, he said that it will be able to "lighten" the tone somewhat. But then he say if its a solitaire try not to get a colour too poor.. If i don't remember wrongly Carat: 50 pointer Colour: E Clarity: VVS1 Cutting/Symmetry: Excellent / Very Good (or Excellent / Excellent) lol.. must go back dig up the GIA cert. Cutlet : Pointed (i think) Flourescence: None

Thats valuable insight. Thanks very much. Its really refreshing to speak to another person who have such a keen interest in these little shiny rocks.. lol.. Isn't it the purpose? lol.. to knock the eyes out of the onlookers? heh heh heh.. i tell my wife hardly ppl who say wow... is that a larry's? or.. is that Brilliant Rose? lol.. i think Sillyporean mentality first is Caret Size.. then everything else.. its quite unfortunate.. friend got a 70pointer g colour vs2 and to her.. its really the size that counts.. lol.. lol,, don't say that, which bride don't want to have the best for their wedding? i'm just want to be in the loop of things especially since I bought the diamond which was very good one but the price i paid wasn't. lol.. i would say that I paid 30% more than i should have. In future, i just want to make sure that we get a decent deal because money not easy to earn, also want to get a better value for it, no need to be the best value... lol.. better can already... buying diamonds is like men wanna spend few thousand on hifi system.. lol.. different folks different strokes.. like my friend .. every year will go Larrys to buy something for the wife for their wedding anniversary.. if can afford, why not, if not then budget lor. I wasn't aware that many ladies in the states put carats in highest priority, i thought this type of Kiasu-ism would be limit to Singaporeans. LOL

I do think so, might even wanna hang on all the way till after 2008. No choice due to some obligations. But yes, need to hang in until the sun comes out.. Just as I have thought. I was wondering for earings and necklaces, how far would you go to sacrifice the clarity as long as its not on the crown as mentioned and its a combination of small carets i.e. 10/20 pointers.. would all the way vs2 or even is range? as we have discussed, as long as cuttings are excellent / very good, and a DEF colour range, the nake eye would still shining, don't you agree?

This i fully agree

The higher the threadcount, the softer silkier feel.. Eg. Egyptian silk.. i think its around 650 .. lol i also can't really remember liao..

Thumbprint / retina scanner. its a plausible idea.

aiya. sorry sorry.. lol.. forgot to reply.. My one silky terrier.. these few days will try to post.. heh heh.. my one hardly barks.. only when it thunders.

bro cantona, not only when someone is in ur car. when alone also must be responsible.. don't bang into other ppl. wreck other ppl's lives...

lol... i normally go Si Beh Lor to go pray if not so lucky.. lol.. really don't know anything about changing luck at seaside... sounds creepy..

Now that you put it... maybe the bad move doesn't sound so bad.. ha ha.. i left Citi. declined UBS. Ended up somewhere that i shouldn't have picked. ha ha ha.. Citi would still have been better even with the whole sub prime BS. lol.. Your Hubby very cute. Proposed with a cert. Thats really a first! My missus would have killed me if i did that... heh heh I agree with you absolutely on the compromising on what doesn't really matter. Same wavelength! Talking about Van Cleef, I just walked past yesterday.. and the price is really. CRAZY! Talk about brand equity and the manager at Tiffany tried to get me to get their diamonds.. lol.. i know the manager there but its 20k for a 1caret.. !! Wow... 8k is really a steal if you're comparing the the butterfly ring... Talking about compromising... what do you think about clarity.. I feel that its not as necessary to get a vvs1 / vvs2 even for earings/necklaces don't you think?

Didn't know that... i thought it tastes like KFC though... abit on the salty side..

Thanks Chunky.. my head starting to swell.. kekeke... You are absolutely right on one part. I like ROCKS! kekeke.. I was just inspired when i started looking for one for my missus.. The more i researched, the more i realized that I don't know anything. I sort of want to think that I'm the lucky one to have my wife.. lol.. life's been great but made a wrong move in career lately.. ha ha ha.. so i'll got to wait awhile to get my life back on track.. ha ha... I don't think i can afford the 1 caret solitaire now. !! .. after the reno + other stuff for the missus.. lol.. I think this year alone i must have blown away 50k to 60k already.. lol... But yes, i would love my next target to be a 1 caret solitaire. I agree with you that there is a need to plan ahead. Can't rush such things. I can also see that you really know your rocks.. lol.. not many people really show that kinda keen interest i've realized. Does DeFred also customize necklaces? I'm just thinking about whether my missus would want to get a nice necklace for the wedding.

Congrats to getting your new place! You'll have plenty of fun comparing quotes for reno.. but you're at the right place. Lotsa ppl here to give you their two cents and share their experience.

Our pleasure. =) I actually quite like Chunky's idea of a trinity setting.. lol. why don't you go take a look if that have.. wah!.. then later you mouth water... heh heh.. keke.. Chunky, Next time can help me get discount anot? lol. i can't afford Tiffany diamond leh. lol...

that i agree. dog that we adopted after we moved in help us strike 4d.. not much but still good.. on second thoughts could be my house fengshui? lol..

LOL... i think the average joe will use and repair until a stage you have to KEEP repairing/servicing .. lol..

Save the money. 一命, 二运, 三风水 Feng Shui is not about creating miracles. Its a metaphysical science. I have heard funny stuff being asked. One is as follows: Someone ask the FSM, "I wanna check my Bazi with my husband" FSM says "If i check for you and tell you that bazi clash, would you divorce your husband?" Customer, "I don't think so lah.." (weak laugh) FSM "Then why do you want to waste money?" This is something for all of us to ponder on.

for .46 weights... not really worth it for the price. you type wrongly is it.. last 2 is 0.06?? Fairy's Inc i need to check the person's number. i'll drop you a pm once i get it ok.

Fairy's Inc is another place to take a look if you want to customize rings. Wah.. at least chunky's efforts are not wasted. heh heh... My dear.. please don't get started on Tiffany's.. its a scary name.. lol.. yeah.. the exterior cuter... more curvy.. and inside is slightly better.. lol.. but can't beat the mazda 3.. outside inside also look good! My Best Buddy is driving a Fitz.. fantastic FC. especially since he drive long haul trips.. lol... not the usual city driving

yah.. M3 really drink petrol like water. New Vios should be better right? hmmm...

We had been looking around.. Fitz Vios Mazda3 just that with so many things now.. don't feel so comfortable committing... if Mrs phantom or myself change our current job then yeah.. we might get the car..

yeah.. classic black still good with red leather seats.. lol... yeah all the way to thailand and back down. told my friend likelihood this car was slightly used before being exported.. he having extremely cold feet now.. ha ha ha ..

LOL.. i do think they are. lol.. and yes the price is pretty alrite. my very first ring for my dahling i think is very good/excellent E /VVS1 50 pointer exactly i think.. don't ask me the price though... heh heh...
