Everything has been so impromptu, everything that we have confirmed were not at all decisive. Because the both of us are very indecisive and we are totally going with the flow. We do not have any clue or idea as to what we really want, so sometimes we get confused... but its okay! Because we are happy with everything so far, and still enjoying every bit of the process!
We just purchased our wedding bands yesterday and we are totally in love with 'em!!! In an attempt to console ourselves, we are reasoning out that perhaps this purchase was not totally impromptu as we did went to a few jewelry shops before making the decision. Hahaha, but oh well, this was what happened..
The process first started when we randomly went into Goldheart at Lot One when we were getting dinner one day. We were looking at their wedding bands collection and had none to our liking. Fast forward a few weeks, we made an appointment with Venus Tears (a new shop at JEM) to check out their wedding bands too. We were impressed at the wide selections and were overwhelmed with choices. Love was pretty much leaning towards gold and thick bands, while I was looking at more classic and thinner bands for my unfortunately short stubby ring finger. We left with more ideas but still not sure of what we truly wanted.
Yesterday, we made an appointment with Micheal Trio. Just the same as the last few jewelry shops, we were stumped. Even the salesperson could tell that we were unsure of what we wanted. Since Michael Trio were more well-known for their customized rings, he told us we should try as many rings and take as many pictures for ideas. So this was one of the pairs we thought was nice..
We left the shop, still undecided but we knew we had time to decide. Decided on watching a movie at Plaza Sing after dinner, and since we had time to spare, we wanted to shop around for CNY clothes. BUT, we just had to check out the Goldheart outlet there, and we got excited when we saw that there was Valentine's promotions going on!
The salesperson was really easy-going and made a lot of suggestions. We tried on many rings, and then a miracle happened. Like I said before, I was into more classic silver rings that were much thinner, the total opposite of what love had in mind. But the salesperson handed me this ring, and it totally changed my mind FOREVER. Hahahaha but no seriously, look!

Rose gold and white gold plating. (rose gold is not obvious here because of lighting)
I WAS SOLD. *heart-shaped-eyes emoticon* I can seriously understand the feeling of finally knowing what you want when you see it, the feeling of love at first sight. Hahaha, a little dramatic but true! Anyway, there was a similar pair for the man and there was a choice of a diamond or no diamond. Its pictured here, the last two rings.
Now he was pretty much sold too. But my itchy fingers had to ask to see the ring from their Celestial line, pictured as the first ring in the photo. I thought that the thick band would look nicer on his finger and it was pretty similar to the ring that I love too. And I was right! He loved it, and even mentioned that the ring was super comfortable. Oh we were so happy... until we asked for the price.
Devastated... was being overly dramatic, hahaha. But still, we were stumped. Actually, he was stumped. We did have a budget in mind and the manager of the store gave us a huge discount and met our budget for the pair of rings if we were to pick the simpler ones (2nd and 3rd rings) for the man's design. We really liked the first ring, but it was way over our budget so he tried to give us the best price too. We decided to think it through, and walked into every other jewelry stores we could find in the mall, just to see if there were other better designs. But our heart was set!
After much consideration, we went back into the store to try on the rings again. And in the end..
We decided to get this set.
Yes, we've just gone over our budget a teeny tiny bit. But we decided that since this was a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and we were going to wear this for the rest of our lives, why not? Now we're so excited and we can't wait to get our rings back after re-sizing. Another headache off the list!
