[quote=\"hapydino\"]my v first diamond is a tiny one i tink 0.18 but held sentimental values as was bought using my BF's 1st pay.. sad to say i lost it as the PT maid stole it while doing weekly cleaning..

Wow, that is really very special. You must have meant a lot to him and he is sooooooooooo sweet. Most guys would only treat you to a makan.

yes, i was really sad when i lost that.. even told the maid i will let her off if she return me, is not the monetary value.. [/quote]Just thinking about your first posting......... I've just realised that I've never had the oppor to experience a gift from a b/f first pay check. The only student that I had ever dated went on to UK to cont his studies. By the time he came back, I had moved on and broke it off. Hmmmm, I wonder what he would have bought me with his first paycheck ? Guess it won't be anything substantial cause he started off as a trainee auditor/accountant.

that lead to another question.. will u return the rock if 1 fine day the r/s is off??

i got this ex-colleague she shared that she kept the 1carat big rock though she did not accept the proposal.. or did she accept the proposal and later on the marriage din take place.. either way..

we questioned her then why she still keep and wear the ring she retort 'so big leh, u won't keep meh??'

honestly, i won't..

This happened to my colleague too. She accepted ex-b/f proposal and the ring was made to measure, engraft her name too. Something happened b4 the ring is ready and their called off. But she din keep the 1 carat ring leh.....

Maybe your ex-colleague think that, the ring engraft her name and the guy can't give it to other. So, must as well keep n wear it.

that day went in to poh heng jewellery at park way parade and saw a very beautiful diamond ring but the manager(i supposed) is damn arrogant…so angry… :x

dun buy from them..

diamonds actually not worth hoh, no resale value.. so ex.. but, i like.. :love:

[MMM]

A diamond is a girl's best friend. Yah mine too... When i was younger, I used to like \"jiao qiao ling long\" (as hubby descibes) that explains why my wedding ring is at most 0.4? As I age, I realise that bigger/ more is beautiful :lol: Taste changes over time.


During my wedding, I choose more diamonds over yellow gold. Pils bought me a diamond set which could have gotten lots of yellow gold with the amount paid. Come to think about it..... (was having this conversation with hubby), should have gone for gold as the value would be so much more now. :roll: But of course, these are classic pieces that I like but only wear once a year as I am not the jewellery type.

Used to hope to have a 1 carat diamond ring... But no longer have that desire as it just have no value.

I rather spend the same amount buying a watch with diamonds? that can fetch better value in the long run.

MMM,

your in-laws are generous.

mine not so 大方, not more than $2k. But yah lor, should have use the money to buy yellow gold, the value would have gone up 2 times! Agreed with you on the watch versus diamond jewellery...

I returned the classic half a carat fancy yellow ring when broke off with ex.

maybe i should have kept it?? :evil: :evil:

and i married my hubby without a diamond ring somemore!!!

But shine_fs, your colleague probably kept it for remembrance. Why \"waste\" a good diamond... Wuahahaha!
