In Search of the Box

The ring box that Josi provides really does not fancy me. I have to search for the right box then. Tried words of mouth, google. and adverts but none came results.

Just today while I was surfing one of the bridal forums, I saw someone posted the same question. The results gotten is a place in Shaw Centre. Very briefly mentioned. I drove down straight away to check the place out. After much Shellock Homes', I found a small store lying a corner. Indeed, there are a couple of designs around to choose from. Finally, I set my eyes on this pink classy case.





I thought it looks rather plain and decides to reminisce my art & craft 'skills'...

Intends to put sequins and LTS figurines on the top of the box. Went down to Sario at Suntec City but the sales girl told me that there are no such production. How can that be?? Anyway, I expanded my search to google and found something similar. The handphone strap. The figurie is tied to the strap and all I have to do is to detach that out and stick it on the box.

The figurines come separately so I have to order both. (Luckily she does not like 101 Dalmations) Made an express delivery for the 2 straps from Japan and it states to reach me 3 days later.

Flown Away

Called up Simon and told him that I will be taking that stone together with the setting. He told me that it will take some time to get the settings up and will inform me once it's done.

You must be wondering what do I mean by flown away? Always, a picture speaks louder than thousand words.



Haha~

Gold Heart

Went over to Gold Heart today. Looked around for the specification that I wanted but couldn't find any. As diamond are natural stones, it's hard to get what I wanted - a 0.5DVS1.

My problem starts again. Gold Heart does not have what I want. After the visit, met Darling at Tampines Mall for dinner. Take my chance and ask her if she prefers quality diamonds or branded ones. Tada~ Another way out for me. She chose quality, which means Josi.

Legend...

The stone has arrived. Went down to Josi today for viewing. Indeed, the stone looks beautiful and of course it is huge.

My problems now is whether to take Josi, BR, Gold Heart or Destinee? Find out her ring size since she never had one? Find which brand she likes? Headache..

I have to plan my mission to find out her ring size. My first accomplice, Siteh. She should have a range of rings for her to try though it could be over sized. LOL.. She agreed but as times goes, no action done by her. -_-

Next is Lina. During the CNY gathering at my place, she made her wear her ring and her conclusion is either 6 or 7. ^_^

The problem now goes to the brand of the ring. She definitely does not know what is Josi so now left with BR, Gold Heart and Destinee. Through my sis, she text her on a survey that she is helping her friend on. Most popular Jewellery brand among the options. Now for the final assurance, she chose Gold Heart.

My journey to Gold Heart starts again...

Josi Gems

Boss told me to look out for other choices that may not be mainstream. Such as diamond industry... I have no idea where this place is but many people seems to know the name quite well. His friend recommended me to get from this place called Josi Gems. I decided to take half-day to get my ass down for an eye-opener. I always thought it is has a shop front but when I make my 101 turns in Park Mall, I decided to call Simon.

Simon told me that they do not have a shop front and it is in an office premises. So I took the lift up and the scene looks like the 80's jewelery store. The floor area is comparable to the size of my bedroom, there's this glass cabinet with countless rings in it. I told him my requirement, at least a o.45DVS1. I was then told to wait at home till Belgium gets back to him. Anyway, it's a natural stone so I couldn't rush things out.

The next day, he emailed me saying that there is a 0.49DVS1 available. Of course I'm in for it. Now I am waiting anxiously for the arrival of the legend.
