Both of us were so excited to have made that purchase and we couldn't believe that we were so prompt and decisive with the decision, especially me! This is the one and only place we go to in search of our wedding bands.
Henry said it was rare to see me in making such a fast decision because I will always contemplate for a long time among various choices, not knowing which one is better.
Well, I guess I have to be clear what I'm really looking for to make this our dream wedding..
I was so thrilled with our purchase that I sms-ed Joo immediately cos I think she is the only one who can related to the euphoric moment! Haha!
Back at Fiary's Inc earlier, we finalised the design of my ring before moving on to Henry's. He wanted his to complement my wavy design and hence he got a 6mm-thick ring with the wavy design in the centre, without any diamond.
Finally, we went on to talk about the price and it turned out that Henry's ring cost $1,570, which is $290 more than mine even though I have added 2 diamonds! Evelyn explained that my design may appear to be more complex but it was the material used for Henry's ring that cost more - white gold, rose gold and black gold. Mine ring is only made of rose gold.
Depending on the final outcome of my ring, I may add 2 or 4 smaller diamonds (at $30 each)to it. As for Henry's, he will have complimentary engraving on the inside of his ring.
So, our total bill came up to $2,850, an amount which is still within our budget of $3,000. I tried to negotiate for $2,800 but Evelyn said she was unable to do it as the craftmanship would cost her a lot. She made a concessioin of $20 but we didn't take it in the end cos Henry was pretty satisfied with what she quoted us initially.
Our next appointment will be in mid Nov and that will also be the time when Evelyn has to keep my engagement ring with her for a month.
There is still ample of time to our ROM so the targeted date for our wedding bands to be completed will be in Feb/ Mar 2010.
