One of the things that we still need to do for the wedding is buying the rings. It's a small detail but an important one.
We've browsed through the jewellery shops in the malls nearby and so far were not very lucky. We are looking for something simple and everything they have is designed to shine and sparkle as much as possible.
Little India is mentioned in several guides and expat websites as a good place to go when you want to buy jewellery. So we went and quickly we figured out that we won't find our wedding bands there.
First reason: the style, too much Indian for us.
Second reason: it's all yellow gold and we are more into white or rose gold. Not to mention it's 22 carats yellow gold vs. the 24 carats we are used to; and that makes the gold even more yellow.
Third reason: the style, the more you browse the more Bollywood it gets. It might be nice in India, but on a pale European skin, it's highly debatable.
Luckily for us Singapore is one giant shopping center. We will find our wedding rings, fingers crossed. It might take a bit of time and visits to many shopping malls.
