hi wendylee,
finally noe how to post the icon liao
btw, i think it's better to buy loose diamonds and set it yourself. The grade of the dia will be better and the size is actually bigger. It will be more expensive to buy from Lee Hwa, Goldheart, etc becoz you might be paying premium due to the high advertising cost, high rental cost incurred by them.
I've been to the jewellery shop called "House of hung" at Far East shopping centre. Their dia are GIA certified and it seemed to be cheaper as compared to Lee Hwa, Soo Kee, etc. Check it out and compare prices...u will see the diff. (ps: me not an employee from the shop)
Perhaps to buy dia rings, you buy loose dia and get it set in the settings that u like. E.g can go to Lee Hwa to set the "Calyx" setting for the loose dia. Can save more than $500 as compared if you buy from them!
Have not checked out Dia industry but heard fr my frens that the workmanship is not so good.
Also, dia of Grade D,E,F is the best and it's near colourless. Usu they dun have GIA certification for small dia (think it's for 0.4-0.5 carat above).
Hi cin_p/Blury,
initially i also dun noe how to post the cute characters. You will have to type in : "\image {your file name}"
Note: pls do not type in the open/close inverted commas. Urm...there should be no spacing between "image" and "file name".Post your message and the website will prompt you for the file (of coz you muz download your file first)
Hope this info helps.
Hi ivory,
always see u very bz at your "ROM picx" thread leh...so many messages within one day!

Hi all,
Just got back from 2++ hrs of trying gowns and discussions with the designer. I am with Graceful Image. The designer, Judy has been very patient with us.
My FH has generously allowed me to go for MTM gown. I sort of like designs of a few gowns and so, Judy helped me to design one that combines the features that I like, keeping in mind my fleshy arms. Am now determined to lose weight!!!
My gown will have embroidery detailing, with long long train that is light. It will be ivory in colour, has 3 layers and the outer most being douchess satin. The material feels smooth and sort of strong, thick and heavy. It has an irresistable sheen. Wonderful! Can't wait for 1st fitting in Sept!
Pageup, i think clarke quay is nicer than boat quay.... will ask around and see if my other friends have any ideas.
Smurfy, envoy you leh...so many gowns to choose from. Just curious...Y did u sign up with 2 boutiques? And what does CS stand for?
Ocean... dun worry too much... stay happy and be a pretty bride.

Wow, silver, so u went to try the gowns. So how do you feel? Like a princess? So envious, I wanna go try too!
Jan,
How do you remember the design & material? I mean, the shop will not allow us to take photos, neither can we start scribbling in a notebk right?

eighteight
well....u juz have to wait for 1 more month to fix the date...soon soon

hi wendylee, are u the one asking abt diamonds huh? me read until beri blur liao...hehhehee.....
i personally prefer sookee/lee hwa to goldheart or diamond industries, but depends on individual lah...hehhehee....
like what someone mentioned b4, colours range from D, E, F and so on. up til G is considered white, D is the whitest. as for clarity, best is IF (internally flawless) followed by VVs1, VVs2, Vs1, Vs2.
As to whether 4 claw or 6 claw is better, depends on the size of the diamond loh. if the diamond is kinda big, a four claw would like beri funnie with it coz looks like it's gonna fall out...hehhehehe.... which it may....hehhee.... if it's relatively small, a six claw would overwhelm it.... so realli depends on the carat and cutting....
but a 5 claw not beri popular coz its not beri symmetrical, but again depends on individual hor?! hope i din offend anyone unknowingly...
which one u eyeing?

Hi pebbles,
Wah! So many posting! Sori ah... me have been MIA-ing for awhile... Heehee, busy with work lah, and reading so many stuff on the forum - my brain wanna explode liao...
I'm going down to Benny's studio tomoro with FH... hopefully I like what I see.
. Don't know whether will be booking actual day photography yet though... is it too early? Cos my wedding still 11months away...
Wah... and saw many postings about DIAMONDS!!!
Woah!!!Me dun know how to see leh... Have to start yen jiu-ing the msgs above very carefully liao... Agah agah know that got cutting, colour & pigments... Hmmm... But I think it's true that if you buy loose diamond, and set it yourself, it's cheaper, bigger & brighter... Cos that's what my FH told me too, after he went around comparing so many place. Hahaha! He even more knowledgeable than me about diamond wor...
Anyway, hope you gals have fun looking at all the diamonds! Diamond shopping is always an enjoyment!

Hi gals,
silver, can we just walk into a shop or do we need to make an appt first? And do you need to specify that you wanna try gowns during the appt?
Jan, no lah. It's my training dept's fault. At first all my courses are spaced out nicely thru'out the yr. Then they cancelled a few courses & piled them all in May. I still have 2 more courses nest wk & the wk after next. Dumb right?
Btw any of u gals are currently renovating ur homes? I'm getting my keys in a mth or two, so it's time to start the reno project.

Hi Jan,
You're still online!
Yeah, I'm very excited. Actually, the keys were ready since Feb, but I don't have enough funds in my CPF to pay for the flat. And cash is also tight cause the wedding & honeymoon & reno is all coming at the same time! So came up with some excuse to delay the keys collection till maybe Jul lor
Can you email me your ID / contractor's contact pls? I think I have to start flipping thru ID mags soon.

Hello Binbin,
Huh? I got the place wrong ah? dunno leh, but is Hafary the green signboard one? My parents' house just nearby, everyday also pass by that stretch of roads, anyway, u got your tiles already and has started reno right? happy for u, got take pictures of the house in different stages or not? When would the completion date be?

Can try Diamond Industries, but my advice is must get the GIA certified ones from them. Please dun buy the in-house certified ones, not good. Please bear in mind the 4Cs while buying diamonds. They are Cut, Clarity, Carat and Color.
Cut refers to the shape and proportion of a diamond. When a stone has either a very shallow or very deep cut, light is lost through the sides and bottom of the stone hence reducing its brilliance. Brilliant cut is quite a good cut, but sometimes a good cut may need to sacrifice some of the weight so the diamond may become smaller.
Clarity refers to the inclusions in the diamond. Fl is the best grade, it's flawless and has totally no inclusions. VVS1 and VVS2 is the second band with very very slight inclusions, then VS1, VS2 - very slight inclusions, SI1, SI2 is slight inclusions lastly is I1, I2, I3 which is imperfect diamonds.
Carat of course u know what it means lah. =) It's the unit of measure for diamond weight. 1 carat is actually 200mg. The bigger it is, the rarer it gets. But not necessarily means big is good. Big ones tend to have more inclusions.
Color is also self-explanatory. Most diamonds are colored, unless it's very yellow, the naked eye may not be able to distinguish. Unless u place them side by side, amateurs like us may not tell the difference. Although most diamonds are colored, it's the absence of color which makes it precious. The top grade is D, E followed by F. These are the colorless ones. G, H, I and J is near colorless. K, L, M is faint yellow. N-R is very light yellow. S-Z is light yellow.
My hubby bought one from DI last time and surprised me while we were holidaying overseas. I think many people do not have good impression of DI, but if you are careful and if it is GIA certified, should be relatively safe to consider. It's more worth than buying from outside boutiques. I ever brought my ring to Goldheart before when I patronised the store, and they did a valuation of my solitaire ring and I was surprised at how much they could sell up to in Goldheart! They even didn't carry much of such diamonds coz it's less sellable. Although some cuts are nice, but if u want a combination of D color, Brilliant cut, VVS1 and big stone is very difficult to get in boutiques. So why not go to DI and have a look? Can even catch a glimpse of the boss's sports car outside the shop. =) Have a geat time shopping for your engagement ring!

Hi gals,

Hi silver, managed to see the gown you like... very nice!! you can click on the gown to view the details... its a bustier gown.... using satin material... but its empire line (written there), so may not be easy to carry off... personally, i cant wear empire line... will look like i'm pregnant!! hahahaha.....
but you can always ask yr designer to copy the back design only and use other designs for the front...
Thanks for yr info!! the website really hav lots of nice gowns!! plus all the detailed descriptions that we can tell our designers next time!!

silver,
i tried to paste the pics but can't leh.... donno why....
ya, i liked duchess satin too!! its soft soft also but stiffer compared to organza... and organza is "translucent"....
did you try bustier gown?? i liked bustier gowns... can hav more variations but me wear bustier can see FATS above the bustier line.... so, too bad.... will go for spagetti straps or halter neckline....

empire line.... hmmm... you know, the connecting part for most dresses are at the waistline, but for empire line dresses, the connecting part is below the bust... so, some people wear already looks pregnant...
heehhee... hope you understand my explanation...
donno the difference leh.... from the pic, slipper satin looks softer than duchess satin though...

Dun think I will go for spagetti straps cos was told that I ve small shoulder so avoid that cos the strip will easily fall off but may consider halter neckline for my EG.

Hi silver,
Thanks for the link. But when I tried to go to the link, I kept getting gateway error. Dunno what's the prob also
Hi ever & Jan,
My new home is at Sengkang. Nowadays everybody's getting either Sengkang / Punggol, I think. Must go home & calculate CPF funds so that I can work out when to get the keys
Jan & silver, we haven't made up our mind whether we're gonna stay there for >5 yrs. Of course, if we're moving out soon, then won't do up the hse so nicely lor. Also limited funds, so I think designer is out. Basically, I think I like easy maintenance & minimalistic look. Don't like the Oriental, Chinoiserie (correct spelling?), French frilly, carving, kind of looks.

MORNING!!!!!!!
MIMOSA/BINBIN: Thanks so much for your informative tips! But again, as mentioned earlier... I found somehow that the settings' of the rings from DI not very attractive wor... and their whitegold looked like 925silver. But indeed you can get a BIGger diamond cheaper from retail lah... how cheap, I duno.
MIMOSA, your message is very very detailed but worried that I might not remembered all when I popby any1 of the shops wor. So panic!!
BINBIN, thanks too... I duno about stores compared to stores cos I also very sledom go into and see see... now goldheart at wisma got 20%, leehwa&sookee got 30% off wor... mayb this weekend popby and see see. Asking you both wor... those VIP/discount card they issue to you upon same day purchase or they will take down your particulars and mail to you when its ready? Cos we are thinking if were to buy Goldheart's WB, then if got the VIP/discount card then can buy the soltaire using the 20% ma... if not have to wait at a later date until they sent us lor. I think I prefer goldheart to sookee to leehwa to DI... but if DI really that cheap and 'about' the same quality then will consider last choice? HEHEHE, btw... need to ask for GIA cert instead of in-hse cert? Then those at retail shops leh? Heard that they have in-hse cert do they have GIA then?
WOW, isnt it too much qns...??? I post until blur blur...
