We found our ringmakers!

Before you rush to the next Poh Kong or De Beers, I highly recommend that you send your design, or better yet, make an appointment with Kohinoor Jewellery and get a quotation for your dream wedding ring.

My close to 0.92 carat was quoted at RM2,800 without GIA certification but you can have that done by adding a few hundred Ringgit. Another company quoted RM4,200 for the exact same design and diamond specs! See what I mean? Even Redza's was much cheaper at RM1,200 as opposed to the RM2-2,500 from other jewelers.

I am incredibly stoked that the rings are below our budget. Alhamdulillah. We're just going to wait for one more quote to be absolutely sure before proceeding full force with this one!

To spend, or not to spend?

Last week I asked a graphic-designer friend to quote his charges to customize my wedding invites. The numbers came in last night and after comparing to the absurd quote provided by a watercolor artist lady I approached much earlier, I was dead sure I'd go with him. His package included:

1. Design (Visual to FA)
2. Main card
size: 210 x 148 mm
color: 4c x 4c
finishing: matt lamination both side
paper: 360 gm matt
quantity: 250 pcs
3. Envelopes x 250pcs

Total: RM1,040

That comes up to RM4.16 per card which is I THOUGHT was very reasonable until....

I go and gatal tangan browse for kad kahwin printers and omg I found a lot of nice ones for a fraction of the price!  Here are the few that I really liked. The price stated is for 300pcs and obviously the more you order, the cheaper they get.

Mom wouldn't approve but I find the tribal theme quite refreshing. 

Why do I do this to myself?
