Wow, just want I wanted to ask around...
went to Fairy's Inc and the bands were so beautiful but all about $900-1100... very ex, not sure if we wanna spend that kind of money....
Lee Hwa and the other shops seem to have the standard looking ones at half the price...sigh decisions decisions decisions.

Hi
My HB n myself bought our wedding bands from Goldheart last nov. Take note that GH do not give 20% or 30% for their wedding bands. They are known not to give discounts for their wedding bands. But their bands are really nice n of good quality. I got their Saint Pure range. Yes... i agree wif levynn. All rings get scratched bt matt surface get very obvious when scratched as compared to other surfaces.

Hi all,
I went to Leehwa last weekend, shortlisted 1 pair from the Jorn Rainer range, but was 1.5k++, now having 20%, on top of that, if use UOB got 10% more, but the sales person says the uob card promo ends last weekend...so net is abt 1.2k++, do u think is expensive?
Levynn, i thought matt will be less obvious than those shiny type when scratch?
By the way, is platium better or white gold?And gals, what will u be engraving in ur wedding band? I was thinking not to engrave the usual thing..hubby's name and rom date...
Any suggestions?
Winnie, i went to goldheart, saw their saint pure range, but hubby dunn like the blue thing inside the ring...he says is funny got blue blue thing..for mi, its ok since its inside..
Usually do Leehwa, goldheart have wedding bands discount often?My hubby says wait for xmas or CNY or V'day, may have better discount..

Hi faithe
The little blue sapphire inside the ring has a special meaning for the couple that wear it. In olden times in England.... all brides must have SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING BORROWED and SOMETHING BLUE with them when they get married. When a couple wears a Sapphire ring, it means the blood from their bodies will flow together and join as one. This is the significance for people who wear sapphire rings. When u visit any Goldheart shops, they will tell you what I just mentioned. I stayed in Britain for many years before, therefore I can vouch the above fact.
You can buy the rings from Lee Wah as I know they have promotions from time to time. But Goldheart will never give discounts as far as I know for their St Pure range.
Hope this helps : )

Hi faithe,
For rings, me & FH agreed that it's something we'll keep it on all the time (some ppl don't wear their wed rings) so we splurged on it. We bot platinum ones at BP de silva during their closing sale for $2k+. We oso visited those few plc mentioned. We liked the John rainer ones too! Like ur hubby, we don't see the pt of having the blue stone.
Platinum is the most valued precious metal which is tough and does not discolour, unlike white gold. Check with the store assistance, they can advise you on tt.
We engraved both our christian names & wed date. Was told tt ppl even have a short verse. We were given a choice of 26 characters, incl space.
As for flowers, the florist at Raffles city basement has quite some unique ones. Alt, u may wan to make ur own bouquet (cheap & nice). You can get fresh cuts (lots of different types to choose from) from Far East Flora. Pop by the one at Thomson Rd, opp MacRitchie Reservoir.
Happy planning...

hi krazbi,
thanks for the address of fairy, will check it out soon.
Winnie, thanks for the story behind, i didnt know abt it, its soo romantic.
Bin, thanks for ur info too..but is there any website that has pictures of rom flowers? so that i can show to the florist to make? i browse thru noel, fareast,hazel and many sites, but all the flowers are complicated and large...
i actually prefer tuilip (pinkish) with long stem, or calla lilies, but it seem calla is out of trend?
Below is some i found from some site which i felt nice...any opinion?

hi gals, i think in terms of selection of rings, one party has to give in lor, unless u dunn mind having 2 diff design's ring for both of u...
For me, my FH was quite accomdating, all his request was not too shiny and not too complicated design so that he can wear it daily.
For some couples they prefer unqiue design, but that would means it will be very "xin tong" to wear it causally...
As i would like him to wear it, so i sort of agree that our rings gonna be plain and simple..
I had colleagues who bought very exp rings,and beautiful rings, end up inside their cabinet...cos they cant bear to wear....

hi girls...
went ring-hunting yesterday... shortlisted 1 fr soo kee, 1 fr lee hwa n 2 fr goldheart.
the goldheart ones r the most expensive (abt $600+ for one ring) , even though they r the ones without diamonds but they r fr the sainte pure range. can go to their website n check out. http://www.goldheart.com.sg/ListProducts.asp?id=135&mat=PLATINUM
the lee hwa one is fr the jorn rainer range, white gold wif 20% off... ard $1300+ for both, wif diamond on mine. but these r in white gold.
soo kee ones r the cheapest. they have 20% discount on all, additional 10% discount on the lady's ring if paid by UOB credit card. so, in the end, two rings cost only $800+, white gold n wif diamond on mine. quite classy design.
btw, for the scratching on matt surface, the lady at soo kee confirmed it. it's becoz there is like an extra layer being laid on the glossy surface so the ring becomes matt. so when scratched over long term or wif a very deep scratch, dis layer will b gone, revealing the actual glossy surface underneath.

Hi Levynn, thanks for the info. I went to Jetaime, Larry's and LeeHwa but I think FH is keen on the Jorn Rainer range.

I have to go for white gold as my E-ring is set on white gold too.
This could be a really daft question, so please bear with me. If the ring gets scratched etc etc, which will happen by wear and tear anyway, couldnt we just take it to the jeweller to replate it again for $30-$50. It will last for another 2-3years or so isnt it?
That was what I heard from the jeweller. Or did I get that completely wrong?

hi babu, can i know where is the exact place to do the chinese engraving? i had mine done at Poh Heng.. sigh..nearly fainted.. thinking of re-doing it
goober grape lover, y dun you have your rings custom made? i had similar prob with my hubby, then we try to merge the ideas together to form our rings
copied the idea from GoldHeart and place the blue sapphire inside our rings
yup yup, Goldheart never give discount for wedding rings.. cause they say they claim that not so good to give discount for wedding items..

hi guys, just bought my rings an hour ago.. haha..
for me and my bf, we agreed that the rings are really functional, i.e. to tell people that we are married, so we thought not to spend too much. We went to Tianpo at People Park Complex, they are having a 20% discount, plus UOB an additional 10% off. Got the pair of platinum rings for only 576. Mind you, very plain..

Hi Blur,
If you are looking for shop outside to do ur engraving for chinese char, pls be very careful..cos i was told by LeeHwa that they do not do engraving for chinese char and small initials, thus, if customers want, they can arrange to send outside but cant gurantee that the quality will be best. In any cases whereby the ring;s engrazing is done poorly, they dont bear the responsibilty, thus the sales person told me they will advise couples not to engrave in outside shop...
Just for ur info lor...

hi...
honeygem>> yes, u can bring the ring back for them to polish or watever. that's wat all the jewellers told me. but i think the price depends on the material of ur rings.
ong >> i'm thinking abt the same thing as babu... is ur ring $576 a pair?? n wat is their maintenance service like, for the rings??
cherz >> i think u better give urself abt 8 weeks in advance. coz the longest the jeweller can get ur ring (if dun have ur size, or u wan handmade) is abt 6 weeks. for the goldheart sainte pure range, they need a little more than that coz they said the swiss (if i rem correctly) side have a lot of holidays, so need more time to make the rings.

vone,
i bot my ring about a mth plus liao... we bot tiffany platinum, very plain.. but i like it very much, cos i like my man to wear plain ring, it turn me on!!! kekeke.. we bot e same thickness, that's why a bit costly.. $3200 for a pair!! sibei heart pain... but if can last for life, worth la... hahaha..
Bvlgari is our 1st choice, Cartier signature ring is 2nd, but both doesn't suit my engagement ring, so finally i choose Tiffany, but it suit my fh very well, so i am very happy.. can't wait to see him wear it...
