Salam Lovelies..
Sempena cuti ari tu....kitaorg amik kesempatan memburu cincin idaman utk Mr. N. Cincin i...bukan main lama lg da secure siap2 since april lg. now...its time for his ring plak. Selama kitaorg kuar jln2.... tak penah pon survey secara serius utk cincin dia. So...i really have no idea about budget, design etc.
Bln lepas....1st kedai yg we all start survey adalah dkt
Bausch K di midvalley. diorg ni specialist utk stainless steel jewelry. main thing adalah nk tgk design yg Mr. N berkenan. Alhamdulillah..da tau design mcm mana yg dia suka.. pastu...tgk price kt situ..sgtlah affordable! ratus2 jer... tapi..err..err...Mr. N tanak. ala2 mcm x mencapai tahap piawaian utk dia kalo pakai stainless steel. fine baby...fine... nk juga cari platinum which is yg sedia maklum, platinum adalah super mahal. tapi...tak baik berkira dgn bakal suami sendiri. dia langsung tak penah teragak2 utk byrkn cincin dan cik berlian i dulu..which is cost da bomb.
ok... so, next kedai..we all masuk dkt Habib the curve. kejadian adalah hari khamis lepas. Lepas puas mkn kt tony romas..siap tapau bw blk...we all jln2 kt the curve plak. masuk2 Habib..trus tanya pasal cincin Platinum. but sadly...Habib tak kuarkn cincin platinum, unless kalo kita nk customade..baru diorg buat. err..ok fine...so, the SA tunjuk cincin suasa. Not bad design... harga pon ok range around 1k-1.8k. but again...suasa. ada yg ckp bley pakai..ada yg ckp tak bley pkai. SA tu ckp...depend on pemakai..if YAKIN..bley je pakai. huhi.. so...kitaorg tak bape nk yakin... lg satu...faktor discolor, or pudar ke ape nnt. so..suasa pon di reject. SA habib baik hati suh tgk kt kedai MyDiamond or Diamond and Platinum
So, next kedai, we proceed to Diamond and Platinum...dkt the curve jugak.. so..bila masuk....not bad design... tapi still...tak bnyk choice sgt. harga toksah cakap la...sume 3k keatas. T__T makan pasir i nanti. huhi...takper2... blk umah dulu. tdo dulu..kot2 mimpi dpt lg murah ke.
Roughly bila da start survey...i pon da start buat bajet. Max my budget will be 2k-2.5k. thats is. kena juga cari within that price. or else..baik we all pegi honeymoon dkt
pangkor laut tu. muahahaha.
Next day..hari Jumaat..masa tu dkt MidValley...1st kedai yg dicari..MyDiamond. Kedai ni ramai yg b2b dari The Brides 2013 fb group yg suggest. tp diorg ckp dkt Sunway yg bnyk choice. tp kita try dulu kt Midvalley ni. huhuu... skit sgt choice nye! ada je la kot dlm 5 design jer. harga pon out of bajet.
ok....NEXT....rasa mcm nk cari habib lg. even though da tau habib tak jual platinum, tapi NAKKK juga pegi habib. i just love habib so much..sygnye diorg tak de platinum. tp suasa pon cantik gak..shinning bukan main lg. hihihi.
GoldHeart kt midvalley. 1st time masuk seumur hidup..
dalam nk cari Habib...i tertarik tgn Mr. N utk masuk ke GoldHeart. pheww...nmpk dari luar sume putih je...so, apa salahnya tgk dulu kt sini. Mr. N mcm tak yakin je nk masuk kedai ni. hihihi...
1st SA yg approach kitaorg..sgt la friendly...and very informative! she knew exactly what we are looking for. tapi mula2 dia tunjuk dulu design suasa. not bad. then...proceed to kaunter platinum. waahhhhh..masa ni da rambang mata...sbb diorg ada bnykk sgt design utk platinum, from different brand, like Nina Ricci, et toi, Zen, espoir...and mcm2 lg. sume adalah dari Jepun. 1st design.. tgk et toi. harga pon murah!! under bajet. lega sgttt. so, pilih2 design yg berkenan..amik ukuran..trus bayar jer. lg sebulan siap. da smpai kt outlet..baru leh engrave. wahhh.. tak sabar!!! best sgt kt GoldHeart....design sume cantik! da berangan2 da nnt....if i nak tukar setting ring utk cik diamond...nak buat setting dr GoldHeart plak. next time nk guna platinum plak... sambil2 dok pilih.. kitaorg dihidangkn dgn green tea. wahh..tau2 je tekak tengah kering kehausan. hihihi
antara design Nina Ricci. sume cincin platinum diorg..campur dgn rose gold! lawa....SA tu ckp..ada je malay couple yg amik design ni, siap call bapaknye kt situ..nk pastikn..bley ke tak pakai cincin yg ada campuran gold. huhuhu
Pastu.. sambil nk tunggu segala document siap.. SA tu share something else lg. ada brand
Something Blue or Romantic Blue ke ape tah...ni mmg pure platinum diorg guna...PT1000...dlm ring tu ada batu sapphire..kecik je..kaler biru. something kepercayaan org jepun ttg lucky stone..kena touch skin. sbb tu, batu tu ada dlm cincin.
Antara design et toi... huhu.. salah satunya adalah cincin Mr.N. hihi.. this ring tak pure platinum..just PT900 je. lg 100 tu, lupa plak nk tanya diorg cmpur ape. but definitely bukan gold. something else..maybe palladium or irridium..or other ium ium group. hahahha
ok..whatelse eh yg SA tu kongsikn....oh! dia ckp..workmanship org jepun..sgt best. huhu..mmg best pon..smooth je rasa all the edge of the ring tu sume. dia ckp..kt Msia..tak de org yg mampu lg nk craft pure platinum ring PT1000. setakat ni yg mampu aroung PT600 kot? tak ingt. tu sume dia yg ckp ye..kalo tak betul..i pon share benda tak betul kt sini. hihihi.
info tambahan:
Ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum together make up a group of elements referred to as the platinum group metals (PGM).
Moral of the story...
Rajin2 buat research..dan bnykkn survey. ikutkn hati..nk masuk lg tgk kedai lain..tp da buat decision. so, dok senyap2 je. Hope this entry dpt membantu b2b out there yg nk cari platinum ring.
