Ring sizing for Vietnamese woman

[patricks 0]

I would buy her a ring in Vietnam and let her pick it out. I find sometimes that good taste in America is no big deal in VN? (another mind bender?) Mind you, a diamond ring should go over well regardless.

KvTran: funny you say crime: My wife had her necklace ripped off her neck while she was driving down Le Duan Street (same as USA consulate) between the two parks near independence palace/Nam Ky Khoi Nghia St. I couldn't believe it?

Yeah, I gave my fiance a necklace last year. She still has it because she make sure she keeps her hand on it or wear shirts to cover it whenever she drives. They will try at anything to take things. It's ok if they take the necklace but just don't hurt anyone.

I have already made the purchase. granted, I could return it, but I love the ring and think she will be blown away.

By the way, if you want to see the diamond, here it is...

Center stone is 1.07 carat, F color and VS1 clarity. Basically, a very good diamond that is not perfect, but well above average. If it appraises at what it should, then I got myself a bargain that is insane. If not, then I get a full refund (these people have an exceptional rep).

Yes, clearly I have purchased a full bore engagement ring, something I said I could not afford. But I found a way to do it.

Very nice!

1.07 carat for the center stone and F clarity. So it needs to be nice.

If your fiancee can buy a not expensive ring in her country that is a perfect size for her and sent it to you by a fast courier. I guess that will help you a lot out of stress about what is a perfect size of her ring. My fiance (now my husband) bought me a really expensive ring and he had problem the same as you. What I did was I bought a ring (my perfect size) in Hong Kong and sent it to him by UPS courier.

Kim is 5'3, 100lbs, ring size 5. Skinny longy fingers are tough to buy ring. Finally got size 5 setting. Still too loose, the ring turns too much.

So, no big deal, just make sure when you are in VN, ask the jeweler to keep in mind, you have the Serial# on the Diamond, so they won't do anything thing with it... Because after you have the ring resize, just ask them to give you the loops to read the serial number on the diamond. No worry about it man!

Size 5. is my vote!

[Matt_Stevens 5]

Yes, I am going with size 5. I had her measure one more time and she says she thinks 5 is right.

Fingers crossed!

Yes, I am VERY nervous about that. I have even thought about bringing it back with me to be safe. But how do I tell her that? Touchy subject.

I will be there from May 12 to 26.

I bought a diamond in the states took it to Ho Ch iMinh in my back pack no problems.

Hong took us to a jewerly store and bought the ring so there was no issues with the size.

I also had a ring given to me by her young sister,we went to the store and was able to go to the back of the store to watch the gentleman resize it to fit my finger.

TOTAL COST .80 cents WOW this would neved happen in the states.

Anyone else going to Vietnam I can vouch for a friendly hotel,and trustworthy staff.
