hi,
Je Taime also makes customized rings. I made my ROM rings and church rings there. Je Taime and Flower is side by side on the 2nd or 3rd floor of Taka.

Hi Flowee,

Flower's at Ngee Ann City. It's just beside Larry's Jewellery. From the escalator where Tag Heuer is, just take the escalator up to the second floor - you should see it right there..

btw, just out of curiousity, wat kind of design do you have in mind?

Initially, i was thinking of customised my wedding bands too. but, managed to find something that both my FH and I liked. So, we just bought them over the counter.

Good luck to you in making the perfect wedding bands for yourself and your FH!

hello, Flowee...

hello, Flowee...

Yah, i saw the pics of your wedding bands already. Sent you mine too..
happy.gif


it's what i have seen and liked in Aspial. I thot they are very unique and very rugged look...seems to be very suitable for someone with strong personality.

of course, most importantly of all, how do they look on your and your FH's finger?

btw, when is your BIG day?

i think i bought mine too early. So, it's left to collect dust in my drawer.

Hi gals

Looks like we all like the same kind of wedding bands... mine is a bit like what flowee described. V rugged and strong, in fact a bit "pai-kiah" looking.
wink.gif
Our bands are platinum and are made by a friend who is a jeweller with his own factory. Price is very reasonable compared to what the shops charge. Flowee, if you're interested, email me and I can pass you the contact.

Hi Flowee,

thought I just give my views on ya wedding bands. here.
happy.gif


They're really nice.

but I think u might wanta consider how it'll look on ya hand. like what pcoral said.

From the picture u sent me, the rings are "rugged n strong" so if u have v small hands, mayb it may not look so good on u. cos from the picture, the band seems quite thick to me.

Go to Je-Taime at Ngee Ann City. Look for Doris.
She has 2 - 3 trays of wedding band designs.
She's v nice, no obligations wan ...

I went there to look for designs actually
but eventually custom made my rings there
it's more expensive, but the quality is alot better than Lee Hwa, Aspial, etc etc

I paid almost $1k for the 2 rings, mine includes a 0.1 diamond. Both our rings are thicker than normal, and heavier....price really depends on your designs.

Let me know if you are going to do your rings with Doris. I can give her a call and tell her that i'm referring you to her ... she'll give discount.

Happy ring hunting!

hi

i custom made mine @ a jeweller @ lower delta...
cost us 1k+ 4 2 thick bands of 0.6mm thk...
mine comes with a 0.05 diamond...
i 'copied' a design from the FJ series from Aspial n asked the jeweller 2 custom made 4 us...
coz the FJ is done in white gold whereas the custom made 1 is done in platinum...
the original FJ ones will cost us 3k+ in white gold n even more in platinum...

the prices of the band depends greatli on the weight n also the material used...
white gold ones r cheaper than platinum ones...
noted white gold will turn yellow after reactin with our sweat...
can pass u the contact if u r interested...

hi gals..

thanks so much for your suggestions...the big big problem is i haven't really figure out wat design we want....jus know its better to get plat....

one thing i like abt FJ brand is the comfort that u get when u put it on....btw, can i check how much i can expect to pay for if i want to get plat ones...with 3 very small princess cut diamonds?...

hi all!

can someone pls advise how long custom-made platinum rings usually take to be ready? (from design process to end product). any input would be appreciated. thanks!
 

flowee

New Member
missmoo = sept03???

its best u check with aspial...
i did check the other time on the design i fancy..
the plat price is 2x of the white gold price...

custom made rings will take a few weeks ... need at least 2 fittings before you get the final product.

Sep 03, if you go to Doris (Je'Taime, Ngee Ann City), tell her u want to try their Comfort-Fit rings.

My hub never wears rings because he finds them uncomfortable. But w the comfort fit, haha, he doesn't mind wearing one now !
 

cody

Sep03: mine was a very plain design. White gold, high polish (ie very shiny), comfort fit.

Mine is 3.5mm with a 0.1 carat diamond, whereas hub's is plain with no diamond in 4mm.

Like i mentioned earlier, Je Taime has lots of designs. I had in mind some other unique designs, but coz i couldn't decide, my hub took over the decision making process and made a plain one.

My sis and her sis in law also made their wedding bands there. Not sure what her sis in law made, but my sis had a half-eternity ie half the ring is covered in a row of small diamonds each held in 4 claws. Very nice!

If you have some other designs in mind eg fr Tiffany, cartier etc, just bring her a pix of the design and she'll get her jewellers to copy.

Hi, I visited Je t'aime and am thinking of ordering my wedding bands from them.

Any of you purchased from them before? What do you think of their prices and workmanship?

Hi savoir

I got my wedding bands from Je Taime! My hub was very pleased wif their service, especially wif their salesman Raymond...always stayed there for hours for the 2 of them to chat! we tink dat their workmanship is good, very define...u will know the difference if u compared wif other retailers

New Member
My sister and i both got our rings fr JeTaime. Our salesperson was Doris.

Their prices are reasonable, and the quality is good!

See my earlier contributions to this thread.

Hi Jowie and Cody,

Thanks for your replies. We were quoted $1700 for a pair of platinum weddding bands, plain ones, no diamonds.
Lady 3.7mm wide, 1.5mm thick, size 11.
Man 4.2mm wide, 1.8mm thick, size 17.25

Is that too high a price?
 

jowie

New Member
savoir....i dun really know how to compare...mine is...
4mm wide, 2mm thick, size 20
my hub is size 23...both rings wif 0.08pt diamond, white gold...cost $1.9k for both

hi savoir,
I think it really depends on the price of Gold also or platinum at point of time. The best comparison, maybe you should go to other jewellers, with the same design, then ask them to quote you. I also made 2 pairs of rings with them.

For me I custom made 2 pairs for rings for 2.5k.
1 pair of simple white gold rings
Lady one is around 2 mm wide, and 1 mm thick , size 10.
Men one i think around 3 mm wide, and 1+ mm thick, size 18 (total 700 dollars)

1 gold ring size 18 (this one quite thick) cannot remember the measurements - 600 dollars
One diamond solitaire 0.235 , F color, (cannot remember the VS details.), size 10 with gold band - 1200 dollars .

Erm, since we made so many rings, we ask them to give us a good discount.

Personally went down to Flower and Je'taime,to take alook. Although they have alot of designs, they are still quite expensive $800 - 900. My friend recommended me Canary Diamonds at Delfi Orchard. Both William and Judy at Canary treats you like friends, very friendly. They can custom made rings in 2 weeks. Had mine done for $600 a pair. I feel that Aspial and Soo Kee rings are very hollow and at $500 each..

Hi Stars

Husband is plain (cos he dun like diamonds) platium looking but it is actually white gold polsihed to look like platinium, mine is 2 bands at both edges and you can feel the heaviness of the gold instead of the hollow feeling Aspial and Soo Kee has.

Hi Stars

What affects the cost is the cost of white gold, not the difficulty/complication in design, try flipping thru foreign magazines which shows alot of intricate design and you can custom make
