Hi,

I am currently using my fiance's account here as I want to show my new purchase today.
GUESS THE PRICE of this band...

Here's the story,
I was not quite happy with the previous wedding band I had as it was too thick in my opinion. My fiance wanted me to get something that I like so we went ring-shopping today with the 'Just looking around' intentions and have no intention to purchase one today.

We went to a few jewelry store and have not found one that I like until we reach Tiffany&Co. It was a very sleek eternity band but I was scare off by the price at almost USD$3k for a band like that? I guess it was costly partly due to the goodwill of that T&C brand.

So we continue the ring shopping and went back to my previous wedding band's jewelry store. I told the SA my feel about the ex-wedding band and that I wanted something very sleek, thin etc etc.
She took out 2 bands that fit my criteria and surprisingly I caught the liking of the cheaper one of those 2.
It was like love at 1st sight, it look exactly the same as the T&C one just that it was not eternity but rather half covered with diamonds. And it was much much sleeker and thinner than the T&C one, so practically this is IT!
I knew it was the wedding band i wanted. I was shown the white gold one, and she said she had a rose gold one, of course definitely I chose the ROSE GOLD version.

Best of all, she ask about my previous wedding band and I told her I bought from her jewelry store and I ask whether can I do a trade-in, she said YES! Just that I have to minus 25% from the previous wedding band's cost.
My previous band cost USD$350 and after the 25% deduction, I am left with USD$262.

The new band cost only USD$179!!! Did I score a good deal (IT WAS USD$2821 CHEAPER THAN THAT T&C ONE)!!?

So I left another USD$83 for purchase of another item.
I figured that I need a pair of ear rings, so she got me one that I love too and I top up additional $116 for the pair of ear rings.

Thanks for reading

Thanks for all the lovely comments. I am afraid I couldn''t post one with my ering together as my ering is currently with my jeweler to size down. Btw, it was 18k Rose Gold.. But I promise to open a new thread to show both of them together when my ering is ready. I guess I need to resize this band also as it was also 1.5size larger but the store mention that was the smallest size they''ve (the store start with size 4 as smallest size). So i would''ve to take to my jeweler and down size it.

Thanks everyone,,

I promise I will post a new thread when I got the ring back. This current band is very very sleek.. I think it is jus 0.5mm as it is definitely thinner than my 1mm band.

Kaleigh,
My ering is currently with my jeweler for down sizing. I will post one with my ering after I got them back next week or this weekend.

nkarma,
I got it from my previous jeweler where i bought my wedding band from. It is Singapore Local Jeweler: Soo Kee Jewelry.
 
what a great deal! I love the rose gold..it''s such a pretty band
