Icy’s CS adventures

Go lah. Nov is the smallest show in HK but still like 10 times bigger than Singapore at least. And you can buy everything. And set your stuff with the HK jewelers. And good food. And nice weather at that time.

I'm planning to visit Mogok this Nov :)

Can they set the stuff quickly?
 
Mellowyellow girl,
Yes, it passed the non-auntie test. I tried to look for pre-loved star sapphire at Icy's recommended shops but unfortunately, settings were the obstacle. I think that Icy did a great job finding her ring.
This was a star sapphire which I like but the setting did not work for me.20180727_230929.jpg

Not bad for a CS noob huh? Heh. I think is fated. I mean, size 8-9 rings are super rare in Asia right? And not auntie some more.

If not custom maybe have chance if u send in on day 1. But depends on where their workshop is (some in China). Else they will just mail over to you.

Or u can just buy the settings and get local jeweler to set for u.

Very proud of your first CS buy at the gem fair :)
 
Omg ya. I actually smiled when I read her reply hahahah. Happy... :whistle:

Lol no lah. But you know how overpriced CS can be. Or even jade... Like cyl's jade stuff in sg ;)

Branding... but I actually quite like some of the designs. Maybe I wait for a sample sale... :lol:
 
Young padawan. Go for a small translucent green jade cab. Size isn't always everything.

I try... but small ones look quite silly on me... unless I use as stacking rings... hmm that’s an idea.

I was staying at intercon bugis last year when they had their sample sale. They haughtily told me their rings are only up to a us 7. It'd cost extra $150 for a custom size.

Small ones are very wearable. If the colour is strong.
 
Plus. The intercon duty manager is their friend. I didn't realise that. We had a long stay guest appreciation night. When she asked me what i thought of cyl... I was too frank :P

I used to like her earlier designs but her things ARE grossly overpriced.

If good jadeite is offered i think it's fine. But it isn't. They are commercial/utility quality. Morally wrong to me, sorry.

My own version below ;) made in silver. Got the jade balls foc from my jewellers m

Oh I didn’t know that.

But ok lah I was looking at their earrings and pendants. Agree that their stuff are so commercial grade. I usually don’t even give jadeite of those quality a second glance so honestly if I ever get it’s cos I like the metal design.

Oops!!! What happened after that?

Can you halo the crap out of it?

My solution is to halo the crap out of everything! Only 0.76 cts this one!

@Burmesedaze you would have slapped the crap out of me if I bought that Tiffany bangle I looked at last year!

Was $12000 AUD! Hehe bought a Whiteflash one instead!

ETA: WF one was NOT anywhere near $12000AUD!

Changed topics quickly loo

I cracked an opal ring before. So I'm not too keen on opal rings. I sold off the 18k gold at scrap value at moneymax or something like that.

This one! I didn't buy it of course! Not for $12000!!!!! I did like the bow momentarily! Not enough for $12,000 though!

I cannot stop thinking about this. The pic doesn’t do justice to it. It’s like a clear cab with magical glitter dancing inside. So so beautiful.

I’m ok with it. If buying branded stuff makes you happy go ahead... it’s like mikimoto vs unbranded tennyo grade akoya. Some people will always prefer to get mm for the brand and that’s fine if it makes them happy.

In the end I decided I was lucky to have some nice things but we weren't at the level of being "Tiffany people" if that makes sense! So I stuck to my box which is Whiteflash!

But hey, not my money.
