Wedding Rings from My Diamond

Picked-up our rings at My Diamond - Shangrila Mall this afternoon.  

I'm happy with our rings.   Who wouldn't be?   We got it at 50% discount when we booked at a bridal fair.   We paid for it in installment terms (3 months to be exact) at zero interest.    They also send SMS for updates.

The rings are supposed to look like this, but we opted not to get the two-tone ring, we wanted the plain white gold.


 

Here are our rings:

Our Wedding Rings

Went to the Bridal Fair this afternoon at the NBC the Tent at The Fort.

Jose is not a fan of Bridal Fairs, he does not like cramped places, narrow hallways and a lot of people inching their way to their would be suppliers. I've been telling him about the fair after I got complimentary tickets from my officemate Mai. His usual reaction, uhmmm, deadma... more of he has no reaction...NR. I was glad he said yes to going to the fair when I sent him an SMS last night.

Fast forward to this afternoon...it was very humid...as in! When we got to the tent, his first reaction was... "Parang sa Mega". Not good, "Mega" was where we attended our 1st Bridal Fair. That fair was uber box-office, felt like we were inside the MRT/LRT on a rush hour! I had to check out the ring suppliers fast! First stop was Radiant, the guys manning the booth were very helpful, they had the style of the rings we wanted and the price is not bad. Next stop was V-Gem, the ladies manning the booth were very pleasant, they didn't have the design we want but were doing their best to have an idea as to how it looks like and the price was not bad too. Third and last stop, My Diamond...

The 50% discount poster at the My Diamond store caught my attention, who would miss that hehehe! We checked out the rings (a lot of designs hahaha). We were finally down to 2 designs and not one of them had the style I initially wanted (fickle hihihi, the 50% discount made me change my mind).

Pair#1: 5 stones for the bride, no stones for the groom - this Jose preferred coz of the width
Pair#2: 7 smaller stones for the bride, no stones for the groom - my pick, downside is it has smaller width than #1

Jose picked Pair#1, I picked Pair#2, what did we get?

Pair#2, Jose doesn't want me to rant, I've already set my mind on having 7 stones on my ring! =)

Here's a picture of the ring, we'll do away with the yellow gold, we prefer white gold.

Introduction to the Search for the Wedding Rings

I checked out 3 stores in Robinson's Place Malate for wedding rings.

I went to Robinson's Place Malate yesterday right after my work related seminar. I had no agenda and honestly I really had no plans of going there. I just went around the mall, checked out shops which caught my fancy (mostly shoe and clothes store). While window shopping I passed by Goldenhills Jewelry and decided to inquire about the wedding ring (price, resizing, engraving and payment scheme). I didn't know it can be a little "addicting", I decided to check 2 more jewellers =). I went to Prima Diamond and My Diamond.

Jose and I agreed that our wedding band will be made of whitegold. My ring will have stones in it and none for his.

Here's what the 3 jewellers offered:

GOLDENHILLS JEWELRY
- 10% discount for cash transaction (will work on 20% discount subject to Head Office approval)
- credit card payment allowed
- allows 6 mos. deferred payment through BPI card
- 2 to 3 weeks for re-sizing/engraving
- rings can be customized
- lifetime warranty

PRIMA DIAMOND
- credit card payment allowed
- 2 to 3 weeks for re-sizing/engraving
- lifetime warranty

MY DIAMOND
- 20% discount for cash transaction
- credit card payment allowed
- 2 to 3 weeks for re-sizing/engraving
- rings can be customized
- lifetime warranty

Among the 3 Jewellers; Prima Diamond offered the best price for the ring I liked (18k white gold, with 7 pointer diamonds). I honestly didn't have a picture in my mind as to how I want my wedding ring to look like until I saw that ring.

Uhmm...since this is only the introduction to the search for the ring, I'm guessing I'll have a better picture in my mind soon. =)
