It was an unexpected quick purchase (last month), for something that we will wear and hold dear for the rest of our lives.. The wedding bands~ =) the hunt for our rings took 3 days.. I'm surprised with our efficiency.. Haha..
We started with a random visit to a jewellery shop at Wisma, while we were enjoying our weekday afternoon leave.. We casually checked out and tried on some wedding bands, for fun.. It wasn't part of the plan/schedule, haha coz we still had some time to our wedding day.. So it wasn't urgent.. That random visit was slowly followed by a few visits to other jewellery shops, for the next 3 days.. Haha!
We started out as noobs, knowing little about the kinds of finishing available, materials, designs and price.. By the end of our wedding bands hunt, I must say our knowledge on wedding bands had increased by ten-folds.. Haha
There were a few options for us.. The 'safe' designs, as he would call them, they are simple and designs are usually popular and hard to go wrong, either Matt or glossy, with diamonds or not, etc.. By the end of a few visits to different shops, all rings look almost the same as one another to me.. I remembered none of those that I saw previously vividly, except for this specific ring with a unique finishing that stands out from the rest.. The hammered finishing =)
Not the kind most people (especially ladies) will like or choose, coz it looks rugged and don't really go well with the solitaire proposal ring.. Haha.. But I just can't stop thinking about it after 2 consecutive days of ring shopping =p We saw such hammered-finish rings at Larry's and Love & co. We both felt that the hammered finishing is unique and we want the rings to mean something to us - resilient, sophisticated and with character~

The typical eternity rings that are adored by many ladies look good and matches well with my proposal ring, but with my lifestyle and 'chor lor' behavior, I don't want to constantly worry about diamonds falling off or turning yellow as the years go by.. I'd prefer a more durable ring with a lasting design, that I can wear for many many years ahead.. Also, I want a matching ring that looks similar to his, no point getting a pretty ring that looks different from the man's.. Haha.. Most importantly, we have to like it.. =)

So, it's been decided. We didn't take too long to decide, It's calling out to us~ we decided we buy the hammered-finish platinum with gold trimming rings from Love & co. on the 3rd day of our ring shopping 'adventure'.. Haha.. The pair from Larry's too chunky, and is not made of platinum (which is a precious metal)..
Presenting to you.. Our wedding bands! (Will be ready by March next year)
