Our Wedding Band

We wanted to take our pre-wedding pictures with our wedding band and in case there are no available ready made size for us, it will take 1-2 months for the jewellery shop to get it made. So our "kiasu" attitude kicks in again.

We started shopping our wedding bands in Feb-Mar2011 (formally..LOL! Informally, i have begin looking at my wedding bands in Dec-2011).

1. Love&Co

Love&Co seems to be every girls dream with it beautiful shop interior and lovely packaging (ring box pillow and the couple bear). I have shortlisted an embedded half eternity ring ($799 before discount) which i saw in Dec-2010. We have went Love&Co so frequently until the sales assistant can recognise us. It was quite embarassing since we went and tried for 3-4 times and stayed quite long in the shop each time but not buying in the end.




(without the rose gold)


When we went back in Feb-Mar2011, it was already discontinued. Although Love&Co was able to have it made for me, i did not want in the end since i couldnt try it in the shop before they make it.


Although i prefer an eternity ring, SC prefer to have a plain ring with no diamonds at all. So it is not exactly a pair. So, i did look around a the wedding bands in Love&Co. Shortlisted one pair with criss cross design with a row of diamonds for the lady and no diamonds for the gentleman. But the price of this pair cost $2+k which is way off our budget. We didnt want to spend too much on the wedding band, especially for eternity ring which is not possible to alter the size in the future.

2. Lee Hwa

Saw same design of Love and Co at Lee Hwa both destinee and non destinee. However, i have read a few reviews on Lee Hwa where they complained the diamond dropping which makes me super paranoid. Although i think it can happen to any ring, i do feel that Lee Hwa is overpriced.


3. GoldHeart

Saw both the embedded and mounted eternity ring which is approximately the same price. Like the mounted eternity ring design more. However, was deciding that it was not too convenient for daily wear. So the decision was always the embedded eternity ring.

4. Soo Kee

Having gotten my proposal ring from Soo Kee, it would be nice to have my wedding band from the same brand as well. But when we went to Soo Kee ion to check out their eternity ring, they do not have any besides brillant rose.

We happen to pop by Soo Kee at Ang Mo Kio and found a nice eternity ring. Unlike Love and Co eternity ring that i like, the eternity ring at Soo Kee was mounted instead of embedded. After seeing this, then i decided that i like the mounted one more than the embedded one. However, compared to Goldheart, each diamonds carat for the mounted eternity ring at Soo Kee was much bigger.

Finally, since i prefer the mounted eternity ring, it came down to only Goldheart or Soo Kee. For daily wear, a smaller carat will be more comfortable thus, Goldheart was the final choice! It took me weeks to decide my wedding band but SC took only 30 mins (or lesser) and so, we bought our wedding band on 20-Mar-2011! And then collected it on 30-Mar-2011....
