Location: Unlike other mainstream jewellery shops and outlets located in shopping malls, the Star Carat Shop showroom was located right in Soo Kee HQ. This store was located all the way in the East, so it was considered really far from my home in the opposite side of Singapore. Fortunately, I was working nearby, so I made an appointment after work, at 6.15 pm. In addition, it was within walking distance (750 m, 10 mins) from Expo MRT. Overall, this showroom is considered more convenient than some other custom jewellery stores / workshops located in the industrial areas.
Opening Hours: The Star Carat Shop showroom opening hours is not as long as the jewellery stores in shopping malls that close at 9 pm to 9.30 pm. It closes at 7 pm, so at least I could fix an appointment to head there after work. In addition, they allow the arrangement of appointments on Sat.
Service: My fiancee has a very small finger size, so there were hardly any shops with rings off the shelf that could fit her size. Star Carat Shop showroom was the only shop that was able to temporarily help her wear and try on larger rings without dropping. There were no other customers at that time, so all the staff assisted in picking and recommending jewellery for my fiancee and I to consider, such as rings, necklaces and earrings. In particular, they helped to pick up different ring styles with halo setting and different styles for earrings that my fiancee and I were looking for. At the end of the appointment, one of the jewellery / diamond consultants Andrina walked us out of the building and showed us a slight short cut that saved us a few minutes.
Offering: The Star Carat Shop Showroom has many big diamond offerings, such as 0.5 carat, 0.7 carat, 0.9 carat, 1.0 carat and beyond. Although the showroom has many large diamonds, the overall collection of jewellery is slightly smaller than larger jewellery stores in shopping malls. Nonetheless, my fiancee and I were delighted to finally find and try out rings styles with halo settings and diamond carat greater than 0.5. This is because most rings are in the solitaire setting when the diamond carat is greater than 0.5. My fiancee was also able to try out halo settings with different styles of split shank. Overall, the largest differentiating factor for The Star Carat Shop lies in the diamond carat.
Price: This is the only brand I know that offers lab grown diamonds. They offer lab grown diamonds which are priced at about 50% of natural diamonds. The overall cost of the ring, setting and diamond is also about 50% of natural diamond rings. There are of course other alternatives to get cheaper rings, such as gemstone / diamond simulant.
Food for Thought: As out budget is limited, my fiancee and I had a few considerations such as lab grown diamond, gemstone / diamond simulant (moissanite, cubic zirconia). These are alternatives that consumers might want to consider in conjunction with the pros and cons. Before making the final decision, diamond sparkle and cutting is one aspect that should be seriously considered as well. Search my reviews on some other jewellery brands / stores.
Pleased with their service. Shown me the difference between fake and real diamond. Its Orign is from United States.Used a 10x scope to see the surface details. Price is around 50% cheaper as compared to mined diamond. IAG certified. Olden generation might not able to accept lab growth and prefer natural one.
Had to requested an appointment for 28th September on super short notice and was served by Lynn who was very knowledgeable, understanding and patient. She had explained everything clearly to me, my mum and my girlfriend in simple layman terms, and patiently showed us the wide variety of lab-grown diamond rings at the showroom.
At no time did we feel pressurised to purchase anything and the whole experience was nothing short of a full five star service.
The showroom had a wide selection of jewellery and is well worth the visit. We were spoilt for choice and thankfully in the end, I finally managed to choose the ideal ring for my girlfriend, and in no small part was it made possible by Lynn's expertise and kind sharing.
