Cincin Kanda, Cincin Tunang, Kanda's Watch, DONE!

As-salam readers semua, sihat? Entri pukal ni.

So, December was a productive month for us. We've managed to settle all the rings plus one hantaran item :D Early huh? Given our nikah is one year ahead. So why did we buy this time around, you may ask. Our wedding is moooontthss away, we have plenty of time to buy the rings. Well, it never hurts to prepare early. Besides, if you wanted to buy rings, Christmas season would be the best time. Our Wah Chan SA told us that they gave the best discount during Christmas sale due to the fact that 1: it's Christmas and 2:They need to clear their stock.

So why not wait until next Christmas you ask? I have such a small finger that my rings would have to be re-sized or custom made. Kanda has such a particular preferences that his might have to be custom-made too. So, bila cincin nak tempah-tempah ni selalunya ambil masa 3 minggu. Kalau tunggu next Chrismas, takut tak sempat and we don't want to take the risk.

Panjang pulak ko rant Rilla.

Ok, on to the exciting part. Cincin Kanda dulu lah ek? Kitorang beli masa cuti Awal Muharram hari tu kat One Utama. Memang masa tu tengah ring-hunting. Dan kanda terjumpalah cincin yang beliau suka, melonjak kegembiraanlah beliau. [Susah tau nak cari yang dia suka] But the problem is, the ring is white gold. Camno tu? Tapi SA tu cakap boleh tempah, same design but using white suasa. Oh, we like!

So, kanda's ring would be solid white suasa with matte finishing:Source

Set with 4 small round diamonds, lebih kurang camni:

With engravings on the inside of the ring:

♥ Rilla

Haha, never thought that kanda's ring would have sampai 4 diamond. Tapi somehow cincin tu nampak sweet and masculine at the same time. Mula-mula kitorang ragu-ragu, lelaki boleh pakai suasa ke tak, as suasa contains a little bit of gold. Dalam 10%-20% kalau tak silap. But after confirming with a couple of people and they said ok, kitorang beli je la. Engravings tu kitorang dapat free, yey!

Ok, cincin tunang Rilla pulak. Baru beli tadi ni, kat Mid Valley. Oleh sebab cincin nikah dah banyak diamond, maka cincin tunang kitorang prefer yang satu batu je. In this entry, I did mention that I didn't like solitaire, sebab saya ni ganas, hahaha. Tapi susah la nak cari cincin yang simple but tak solitaire. Sebab banyak design yang solitaire. Yang tak, tak berkenan di hati pula. So, akhirnya, kitorang beli jugak cincin solitaire. I'd love to have the diamond in princess-cut. Tapi disebabkan kitorang nak betul-betul stay on budget, tak dapat la beli yang princess cut sebab selalunya yang princess cut ni yang beriban-riban tak mampu. So beli yang biasa saja, tapi still nampak sweet pada mata Rilla lah. Kanda cakap, janji Rilla suka, Rilla yang nak pakai :D

So, cincin tunang Rilla lebih kurang macam ni, white gold, a small round diamond with 4 prongs. Sebab diamond dia kecik dan ada 4 prongs, diamond dia nampak macam square :D


The funny thing is, we ended up buying all of our rings from Wah Chan, tapi branch lain-lain. Rasa macam sengal pun ada jugak, hahah.

Cincin meminang + cincin nikah: Wah Chan Sunway Pyramid
Cincin nikah kanda: Wah Chan One Utama
Cincin tunang: Wah Chan Mid Valley

Nasib baik cincin tunang siap on the spot, kalau tak, satu hal pulak nak ambil cincin dari 3 tempat. Breakdown perbelanjaan cincin untuk Rilla, Cincin nikah: 78%, cincin tunang: 17%, cincin meminang: 5%

Ok, last but not least, jam tangan untuk Kanda. Sebenarnya jam tangan Kanda is one of the item for hantaran nikah. Tapi sudah beli sebab jam yang Kanda suka tu limited edition. Takut dah habis kang, tak restock, so beli jelah. Rilla kena simpan setahun, tapi at least dah boleh cross satu hantaran item :D

We bought one watch from the Fossil Phillipe S+arck Collection

Jam dari collection ni memang sangat cantik dan smart, worth checking-out. Definitely the priciest item on his hantaran list. Tapi since Kanda punya jam dah rosak, takpelah, beli je. Janji ada kualiti, tahan lama dan kanda suka.

Phew...suka, 4 item dah boleh cross :D

P/S: I did contacted Pegawai Jakim and he said that the hukum for suasa is 'Harus'. On a personal note, kalau was-was jangan beli. Cuma pada yang dah terbeli, takkan nak buang kan, itu kan membazir pulak?

  1. salam rilla,

    i just feel i gotta speak on this - of men wearing suasa.

    like you, i bought white suasa for my bakal suami late last month. prior to that, i read up the hukum was 'harus'.

    tapi lepas 2days of purchasing it, tibe2 hati tergerak nak google semua hukum, dalil etc2.

    it's haram :( eventho the gold can't be seen sebab dh mix with alloy. the store i bought (mydiamond) tak accept cash refund.

    and since the gold percentage was too low (9k) most kedai emas tak accept trade in either.

    i had to trade into rantai (18k). then trade at other jewel shop yg offer products with no gold (goldheart) n harga tak mahal pon seriously!

    mmg rugi (about rm500 burn) tp puas hati la sbb takde gold dh.

    just sharing my experience and knowledge :) hope awak tak kecik ati.

    sincerely,

  4. rilla, masa tu i memang tak tentu arah sbb kejap2 tatau nk pegang 'harus' or 'haram'. hihi.

    the sales assistant mmg la dok reassure products dia boleh guna, dh ramai org bli la etc etc.

    mmg tough aa masa tu.

    sorry banyaaak pulak komen :) kalau nk cerita psl misi i tukar cincin tu, 2 hari pon tak abes hihi.

    wallahu alam. insyaAllah, you'll find the answer.

    take care & happy preparing :)

  7. Idayu: Tu la, Rilla pun tanya SA. Dia cakap Islam boleh pakai, dah banyak orang beli bla2. I don't mind the long comments, suka orang komen :D And thank you for highlighting this. Rilla baru bayar deposit RM100 je. So still sempat if tak nak proceed.

    Zara: I pun nak beli silver je lah, senang. Sunnah tu.

    Iedyah: Thanks :D
