BARYA FOR SCALE

Share ko lang kung pano ako naka tipid mag pa gawa ng engagement ring with IGI certified diamond para sa mga arog ko dati na namahalan sa prices within Bicol or in general The Philippines and gusto maka tipid but reql diamond and good size(1carat-2carat diamond) ang makuha.

English na after digdi ta mas madali i type para sako hahaha.

I recently bought a loose lab-grown diamond (IGI certified) from an Alibaba seller for an engagement ring. The stone arrived exactly as described. IGI cert number matched, specs were accurate, and it looked great in person. I even had it checked locally just to be safe, and everything lined up.

The price! Compared to buying the same specs here in the Philippines, it was roughly 20% of the local price. Even factoring in shipping and fees. (Edit nag bago na ata kasi last year pa to but I bet 20% pa din ng local price)

As for the setting, I just looked for local jewelers here in bicol and had it crafted to my preference. But you can make it so that the Alibaba shop will make it themselves for an additional fee and more delays of course.

I know Alibaba can be hit or miss, so I was careful:
• only considered cert stones pref IGI
• asked for real photos/videos before shipping
• used Trade Assurance

Not saying every seller there is trustworthy, but this one definitely was. If you’re open to lab-grown and don’t mind doing a bit of homework, it can save you a lot of money.

Happy to answer questions if anyone’s curious about the process or the seller.

I can post the diamond here and maybe the cert later if may curious. Sa luwas pa kaya ako haha
