hey hey...

to lkk, hey hey buy the one with a pink leather strap haha.......

both css and i agreed that to witness someone else buying a watch is strangely more exciting than compared to our own shopping experience......

let's hope the deal is done this week.......

love cartier

wow if you can scoop S$1030 for this cartier love bracelet this year then please do so..... especially when 10% of sale proceeds go to charity.....

not only that, you get to own this beautiful piece ...... i just hope the white silk cord stays clean..... or i hope it should be easily cleaned......

will be on sale on 11 june 09 at cartier boutiques only......

what's this......... ????

errr.......... may i know what's this????

made by the richemont group for ralph lauren........... this seems like a joke really.....

although there's a slight sprinkle of cartier's touches here and there, i dun think the demand for this will be good at all....

good luck....

car car cartier....

hey hey this looks hilarious............. more cartoonish than bejewelled .....

kids might love it..... not me, i think this is garish...... a complete waste of gold, diamonds and craftsmanship....

sunday shopping

on sunday (which was yesterday) i went to ngee ann city to check out my shortlist of "candidates"......... my choice of ring and pendant.....

first stop: bvlgari boutique

a quick browse through their collection of watches, rings and pendants................ hhhmmmm i concluded they looked better in pictures so i decided to pass......... i think cartier has better designs and selections.....

but bvlgari has a classier elevator than cartier's..... :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

2nd stop: cartier boutique

in no time, i approached one of the sales reps to show me the trinity ring........... i wanted it plain so no diamond please.........



the choice was between the thick and the normal band....... and after trying both, decided that the thicker ring looks and fits better..... and now i know my ring sizes for both right and left ring fingers....

i decided i want the trinity ring! of cos i requested the sales rep to check if they have a new piece..........

but alas, the last piece has been reserved the day before!! damn it!! and to order would take at least 3 months!! gosh what should i do.....?????

it's ok.......... i can always seek out somthing else......... thank you and please come again to cartier boutique hehe............

well it's pretty fun to try all the pretty rings......

i wanted to take another look at the LV pendant but there's a queue outside the boutique........... NAH forget it..... i can always go to raffles hotel

more cartier

shopping for a pendant is way way tougher than looking for a ring.............. there are many nice rings around............ and i've been looking around, trust me

but a beautiful pendant? gosh that's a tall order...... out of the so many cartier pendants they have, i can only find 2 that i like............ both are from the LOVE range......

i like the 2 inter-locking rings................



the one below looks kinda fragile........ and might just break easily............. but it's not bad looking too....



and i will very likely stick to yellow gold.......... no worries of tarnish and flaking..........

metal shopping

times are bad..... so i thought maybe i should buy myself something to cheer myself up haha.....

so i decided to ....... perhaps buy a pendant... or a ring......... either stainless steel, sterling silver ...... or maybe even yellow gold..........

and so i went to tiffany & co........ i expected more, given their reputation.... but i was kinda underwhelmed when i browsed their collection ........ their pendants appeared much bigger in pics on their website but the actual size was errrr..... abit disappointing...... maybe only this one is nice....



next i walked over to cartier, which is right next door.........

and here i saw what i like....... especially the LOVE rings and the trinity ring (rose gold, yellow gold and white gold in one band).....

a plain trinity ring (without diamonds) starts from S$1600++ ....... perhaps is reasonable for cartier....... but no matter what, they do charge a premium over local jewellers...... well this is 18k gold after all........

of cos i paid a visit to mont blanc...... which really had me scratching my head......... i dun quite understand why they are asking for S$510 for a stainless steel pendant and a silver chain.......... and $720 for a polished stainless steel pendant and a silver chain.......... i rather pay more for gold ......

well i am keeping my options open..........
