Buying the engagement ring is easy. Girls always like it big. The diamond that is. But how big? Girls being girls, they usually benchmark it amongst their friends. I secretly think that they would hope to have their diamond bigger than their gf's.
The real challenge is when we pick our wedding bands. There's 101 designs to choose from. You will be wearing it for life. It has to withstand you growing fat next time, or if you decide to be a homemaker and do lots of housework and face abuse from the broomsticks and washing powder. And it also has to look nice...
We went to Piaget, because we saw a friend's ring, and thought that the rotating feature was interesting. We also went to a friend's family jeweller who helps replicate jewellery from the brands like cartier and tiffany. We also went to Lee Hwa, Poh Heng, and of cos Love & Co. But at the back of my head, I always remembered Fairy's Inc. One of my first couple friend to get married got their wedding band customised from there. So we decided to go down to take a look. We went to both Ling Jewellery and Fairy's Inc. Lynne preferred the stuff at Ling's, but I felt that Ling's was over priced. After almost 3 months of looking around and contemplating, we finally decided on Fairy's Inc. One of the distinct differences in price was my plain, no diamond wedding band. Fairy's is only charging me around $900 for it while Ling's was almost double the price. And it was just a very plain ring, no special rotating parts or encrusted stones. So it was decided... We started our 3 mth wait for our rings to be done...
When it was time to collect, I called up Eve to schedule a time for us to go down to take a look. To Lynne's horror, they did her ring wrongly. The size of the diamonds on the band weren't what she had told them. However, Eve was very nice, and agreed to change it for us, 3 weeks turnaround. 3 weeks later, we turned up again. This time, not only did she get it right, in order to satisfy us, the customer, she actually took the liberty to use slightly bigger diamonds so that the ring looks better! This was at no extra cost. All in all, the 2 rings cost us $3,600. For something that you wear for life... it is a good price and good value. I will strongly recommend Fairy's Inc to all my friends looking for wedding bands.
