It has been awhile since my last meeting with ZCOVA and today I finally received an email from their referral tracking system. This probably makes ZCOVA one of the first jeweller in Malaysia to implement a full-blown referral tracking system, so congratulations to team ZCOVA!
Note: The other jeweller I just found out that has an affiliate program will be Jeole Jewellery (MY) via the Involve Asia platform. They are doing fashion jewellery rather than engagement rings though.
If you are thinking to buy from BlueNile, the world's largest diamond online shop, then do consider to buy from ZCOVA instead. Firstly, this is simply because for one obvious reason - BlueNile does not ship to Malaysia. Secondly, ZCOVA has inventory that is as extensive as BlueNile (other than BlueNile in-house stones). Price-wise, ZCOVA might be slightly more expensive, but might be cheaper at other times. There is one-time a reader asked me about a stone and I found out that ZCOVA is actually cheaper than BlueNile itself! Of course, some time ago, I can actually get the same stone that ZCOVA offering at a cheaper price from Zoara, another online-based company which I affiliate with. So as you can see, things can go both ways.
One thing to note is that ZCOVA won't list the whole inventory in their website due to some constraints I mentioned previously. Therefore, if you want to search for a diamond from the comfort of your home, I would suggest you to go to BlueNile. If you see a particular stone you like, feel free to contact ZCOVA to request them to source for you. I have tried that and yes, it actually works.
In any case, if you are confident that you are able to get the same stone at a cheaper price than ZCOVA, they have a price match policy that will allow them to consider to match the cheaper price, but of course, the final decision lies with them. ZCOVA will also try to match the price of a different stone which is pretty identical to the list of stones that are able to offer as well. At the end of the day, the extra that you are paying for ZCOVA is really for their one-stop service and the comfortable experience that they are able to provide.
If you are a newbie into diamond purchasing, what I would suggest you to do is to walk-in to any brick-and-mortar stores in the shopping centers around you. Have some extensive experience with them, then, make an appointment with ZCOVA (yes, they are running a lean team so it is best to make appointment) and try them out. As I have always said, whichever way that you feel best for you and your partner is the most important. No right or wrong decision.
Anyway, ZCOVA is here to stay. With the implementation of this referral tracking system, I would say they are moving in the right direction to become a better online diamond seller. I am looking forward to see one day for them to become the BlueNile of Malaysia, and after that, they may possibly become an inspiration for other jewellers, which we will call them the ZCOVA of <some place here>.
