Eva: Sourcing for Si Dian Jin? Me too, feel paisay to let my in-laws fork out too much $ for it...
If u r looking at gold, u can go to:
- Poh Heng
- Ban Cheong
- On Cheong
Poh Heng: Have my eyes set on their Oro22 range. Its 916 gold. V Modern design so can wear on normal days. But it's quite expensive so still considering..btw, they charge workmanship & it's quite expensive..
Ban Cheong is @ Ang Mo Kio central.. They r a 'Lao Zi Hao'.. Been here for many years le. I recently went to c their 'Long Feng Zhuo'. D pair that I like is ard $3 k. They charge for workmanship too but its not as pricey as Poh Heng.
On Cheong: Never been there b4 but I read from forum that some btbs went there for their SDJ.
Magdal: Sounds like it's a fruitful trip for ya.
Ya, very hot period now at Taipei. D last time I was there, it was in Jul & it was so super hot & sunny that we had to use umbrella & wear sunglasses during noon time.
Btw, for btbs gg Taiwan for PS, Mar to May is d best time to go as weather is gd & it's d season where d flowers bloom. Got this info from a Taiwan BS that came to Singapore. I was v tempted to sign with them but I have a bridal package with a local BS le so didn't take up.

YX: I'm trying to keep it within $3k & it's either SDJ or 'Long Feng Zhuo'.
Ok based on d items i tried at Poh Heng,, for a 916 'Long Feng Zhuo', it's ard $4k plus. Workmanship $120 per bangle. Saw another pair which is 999 gold, it's $7k. Forgot d price for its workmanship.
As for d Oro22 range, saw 2 rings which cost $900 & $1900 respectively. For d necklace that I like, it's ard $1900..

Eva: No prob *wink*
Traditionally, SDJ is for Teochew brides whereas 'Long Feng Zhuo' (Dragon & Phoenix bangle) is for Hokkien / Cantonese brides. So depends on your dialect group. But, think nowadays many parents r flexible & they r ok wif either 1 or even both.
I asked my mum decide which jewellery items she wana request on my behalf from d groom's family..& she let me make d decision as she wants me to get something that I like.
For me, though I'm a Hokkien, instead of d bangles, most prob I'll go for SDJ cos Im not a 'bangle person'. Keke, prefer to go for something I can wear on normal occasions.

Xrevlis: Hee, in that case, put sunblock b4 ur PS oh.
For the Poh Heng Oro22 design which i was refering for d SDJ, it's 916 yellow gold. Colour wise it is different from the usual yellow gold designs as it comes in a lighter shade. Just to clarify, d price quoted in my previous posts are inclusive of the workmanship charge.
Hee, here's d link on the Oro22 design :

o~ I realise something about Taiwan bridal (not sure issit all). if you need your AD gown, you can actually ask them to bring over and return when they come over for wedding show.

i will be going to TW coming 1week of March.. think no change in our plan.. planning to go 4 March before 1 week school holiday..
my BS claim that they are not confirm if they are coming over for wedding show.. but i feel they will so not sure if they willing to bring over for us.. hopefully 2 ways la.. but it not i dun might paying just 1 way ship back to TW..
i believe that still have blue sky and white cloud.. but just whether can we handle the cold weather with bare back.. cos that day they show us ablum when we ask how the weather like.. and they mention that a place that have this green algae tat appear on the big rock only available during Feb or march timing.. so quite nice but they mention very slippery..

Crystaline - the discount you mentioned is for all items?
Anyway, generally the price there should be higher than the regular jewellery shops.
Their rings are also heavier - if you know what i mean.
The lady at the shop say it's because their rings have more gold.
Base on my boyfriend & my preference, we managed to c a few nice pieces but only have 1 in mind.
Have you popped by Ling jewellery already? Can go have a look~

Xrevlis: Oh may is raining season ah? Then not a good idea to go in may... if go to the green algae place that Evelyn was talking about, a bit hard ya? Wet and slippery..
My biggest concern is the cold... March dunno if I can tahan cold with all the bare back gowns... but if say go in June.. htb will probably sweat like crazy if taiwan is as humid as sg.. but I personally like blue sky white clouds too!
Btw if anyone is interested, Hyatt is still running on 2011 pricing.. so cheaper than the rest out there who already running on 2012 pricing..

Chinzilla take care!
Just to share, i went SKII boutique and spa on friday for their signature facial... the place was posh and u r really treated like a VIP. they served TWG tea and snack. the facial was comfortable.. and the facial bed very comfy.. i flip open and see they put a thick feather mattress pad below... first class service... but the pricing is not economic.

YX - high five! Mine is on 7 Jan.. what about you? Hehe, it's important to moisturize so that's good.
Hucklebeary - wow, SKII facial.. Sounds like really VIP service.. Just wondering how much is per session? Did you sign up a package with them?
Ashriel - Do you have to be under the sun frequently? Maybe it's time to change your sunblock? I'm using lancome one and it's quite good so far.. My friend also recommended me to use the Spot targeting serum from Shiseido for dark spots.. maybe you can go to any shiseido counter and try the texture first.
