[Phoenix]

DJ, many thanks!! I WILL take pictures of those hanging from my ears, just for you!

Your "brick" is so awesome looking

. I am totally floored by it.

 

[Phoenix]

Widget, thank you so much.

That means a lot, coming from you, Widget. You have a really amazing collection

. I''ve enjoyed looking at them so much. You have a great eye for detail and I really like your "collecting philosophy".

 

[Phoenix]

Lisa, thank you. This also means a lot coming from you. I know you have an amazingly beautiful collection.

.

And I will take more photos....

 

[Phoenix]

Harriet,

.

I am definitely looking forward to playing dress-up with your own awesome collection, particularly yr latest acquisition.

Lien. very beautiful collection. You and I shud get together at coffee bean. We are both experiencing the same thing with our rings at the moment. Maybe we both need a little perspective. Your 3ct rb is outta this world. But if you have doubts about it , you won''t be happy no matter what setting you put it in. I agree that a fancy maybe the way to go in bigger size.

Sparkles,
Are you in Singapore too?

I'm coming home alright, but who knows if I get to come over?

I'm not sure if I should travel with my entire collection. It would horrify my thrifty parents.
When you get a chance, I'd appreciate your input on my ring re-set (it's on Rocky Talky).

 

[Phoenix]

SDL,

. I AM a silly one!

.

And thank you thank you. I will take more close-ups later (but really the band on my solitaire is nothing to speak of). Watch this space!!

 

[Phoenix]

Sparkles,

I am totally in love in your new ring

. I can't believe you're comtemplating replacing the centre stone, it's absolutely stunning and HUUUGGEEEE. Maybe we should get some perspective.

I would love to meet up with you for coffee, a slice of cake and best of all, TO OGLE OUR BLING TOGETHER!!

.

I''m so jealous!

 

[iheartscience]

lien, your collection is gorgeous! WOW! Your engagement ring is like a disco ball in that one photo! And I think you need to call your dangling blingy earrings your "movie star" earrings from now on! More pics, please!

 

[Gothgrrl]

Your collection is stupendous. I really loved the 3-4th pictures of the sparkles.

 

[sparkles]

Yes, I am in Singers.

 

[Harriet]

Sparkles,
I''m a Singapore girl born and raised. That''s the first time I''ve heard it called "Singers!"

Btw, do you know any good bench people there?

Ok, here they are, boys and girls...some of them anyway...
First of:
my box of goodies...

Love that box of goodies LienTN!

Those "danglies" are really nice! Your e-ring is off-the-charts WOW!

 

[Harriet]

Lien,
Where are we going to meet to play without being robbed?

 

[Jewels]

Lien,

I love every single piece in that box esp. your e-ring. Do you wear your e-ring daily? Do many in Singaporeans wear huge rings on a daily basis? I know that people across your border don''t, so just curious.

 

[Phoenix]

Kcoursolle, thanks!

. Thanks for looking also.

Love the new pics of yr ring...keep them coming

 

[Phoenix]

Tacori, thanks

. And thanks for looking.

Love yr ring, particularly the unique setting. Really brings out the beaty of the centre stone

.

 

[Phoenix]

MWG, he he!!

. It''s funny cos I only discovered PS not so long ago! I love being here

.

Thanks for looking also.

Btw, are you in S''pore too?

 

[Phoenix]

Thank you, thing2of2, very kind of you!! Yes, the e-ring is very very firey. I constantly find myself staring at it and am caught by surprise sometimes by huge flashes of light from the ring! Absolutely amazing!! When I first had the ring, I couldn''t figure out where the flashes came from, LOL, thought it was some small lightning coming from the sky (no kidding...really).

The earrings are very blingy too. I can only wear them for evening outs, special occasions, that sort of thing, which is exactly what I wanted them for.

Thanks again. More pics coming, I promise (the editing is kind of a bit of a PITA!!

, though all yr ladies'' compliments make it all worthwhile!

).

 

[Phoenix]

Thank you, Gothgrrl, very sweet of you!

 

[Phoenix]

Thank you, Starryeyed!! I love your collection too. Yr latest acquistion is absolutely breathtaking, absolutely to-die-for!!

 

[Phoenix]

Harriet,

Oh there are so many places in S''pore. Any 5-star hotel would be good. Starbucks or Coffeebean is ok too.

Generally, S''pore is fairly safe, you know that.

 

[Phoenix]

Jewels,

Thanks for your kind compliment, again!

Yes, I do wear my e-ring everyday. I even used to wear it to sleep when I first got it, he he

.

What I observe is that many (most? not sure) Singaporeans tend to wear smaller e-ring. In fact, mine is a 10 yr-anniversary upgrade (but that's not what you're asking, right?

). They tend to spend more money on cars, houses etc. Having said that, there are a lot of 'tai-tai's" here (women with lots and lots of money, either their own/ family's or hubby's or both) who wear huge honkers (4-6carats are the norm), complete with blingy watches, designer gear, sports cars etc as well as palatial homes. It still surprises me (I am not from Singapore originally), despite having lived here for the past 7 yrs, how much money there seems to be around here.

My friends wear a mix, some have smaller e-rings, some have up to 6 carat-rings, but interestingly, these friends with bigger bling are either Americans or have lived in the US at some point.

Elle,
When did you leave Singapore? I left before my generation started getting married, so I have no idea what sizes go on at home.
