my new ring .. 8.2.95

[tulips]

Hi everyone

Just to share with you my new ring collected yesterday from my local jeweller. It is an inspiration from the Tiffany atlas ring.. but instead of putting III, VI, IX, XII .. I had changed it to VIII, II, XCV (8.2.95) because this is the date of my wedding registration...

. 38 diamonds.. (38 in cantonese means live and proper) and total carat is 0.58 I think.. all D-E colour. It looks so white and pretty that my other rings look so ugly beside it now...

I shall share more pictures with you when I get my Solasfera end Oct .

Oh I love the meaning behind it. I know someone who speaks Cantonese...I wonder what other numbers are special.

 

[geckodani]

I love that you made the date so personal to you! It''s fantastic!

yeah.. thanks friends for your

.
i am enjoying my ring now ...

Numbers that are auspicious to Chinese are 3,6,8,9.

the number 3 means live or grow
the number 6 means way or fortune or prosper
the number 8 means prosper or strike a big fortune or multiple (fortune) or rich
the number 9 means for a long time.

If it is in combination, then 1 may come into the picture like 168. 168 means all your way (16) you prosper (.

so in combination, 998 sounds great too because it means strike a big fortune ( for a long (9) long )9) time.

my mobile phone has five 8s and the other numbers are only 1 and 6 !
so if one reads it, it means prosper, prosper prosper and prosper all the way!!! these numbers are usually sold at high price by the telecommunication company.
my hubby''s mobile has only 8,9 and 0. so it reads as prosper for a long time and prosper come true!

another number that chinese also will like is 2 though not as popular as 3,6,8,9.

because 2 means "easy". so if the number is 2828, then Chinese will love it because it means easy to prosper , easy to be rich!

thus my wedding date is Feb, 8!

and my ring has 38 diamonds on it!!!

According to Feng Shui study, the number 8 is very auspicous for 20 years starting from Feb 4th, 2004.
So just have digit 8 with you all the time or have an item with the number 8 e.g. a bracelet with 8 charms, a ring with 8 diamonds..etc
