Viewing Tiffany & Co.'s jewellery is so therapeutic. I swear. All the time during today's lessons, I was more absorbed in picking out what my wedding band would be, the perfect ring/necklace and cooing to myself loudly ('WAAAAAH!' 'WOOOOO!' WOAH!') until the guy beside me (Shi Ping) was secretly peeping at my screen, to see what in the world was the big fuss about.
OKAY OKAY OKAY! LET'S START WITH WHAT I'VE COMPILED TODAY OKAY! I'M SOOOO EXCITED! AHHHH!
Let's all start off with the paaaaarfacto wedding band for me.
So here's the thing. I never really understood the thing about diamonds. They are just these glass thingies, only that they refract more light at different angles so they look absolutely 'stunning' and 'beautiful'. I could never understand my mom's senseless fascination for diamonds and she could just stand by Lee Hwa, Poh Heng, Taka Jewellery for GOD-KNOWS how long, just staring at those stones that make your eyes hurt so much.
I could remember the pain in my eyes a few years ago while me and Ben were accompanying my mum to go shopping and she HAD to buy this diamony costume jewellery from Taka. Our eyes hurt so much from all the comparing of the different rings she made us do. In the end, we just got out of the jewellery shop because we couldn't take all that serious bling and I think we ended up playing with our umbrellas that we brought.
Don't ask me why.
HERE I COMEEEEEEEEEE TIFFANY'S! Giiiiiiirls, are chu ready???
CONTESTANT RING NO.1:
Coin Edge Ring S$360
Okay, I absoooolutely love this ring for its simplicity and even though it seems way too simple (this is the part where Yanni would nod her head seriously in agreement that Tiffany's concept of simplicity is too exaggerated), I just love that it is a band. No complicated diamond cuts (what are the differences in the cuts anyway?) nor any fanciful looking 'wannabe classy' designs. Beautiful. Clean-cut. Yummy.
CONTESTANT RING NO.2:
Paloma Picasso True Love Ring S$435
While I was crazily cooing like mad browsing through Tiffany's website, I went completely mad about this ring. I don't know what about it but I really went wild. Now that it's been close to 12 hours since I've seen this picture, I don't know why I went crazy. I even put a tag beside this picture to be my dream ring. I don't know. Doesn't appeal to me anymore although I still want to stress that I looooooove the simplicity of it.
RING CONTESTANT NO.3:
Frank Gehry Torque Bead ring S$3225
Here's what I liked: the uniqueness that it isn't a perfect square yet it has the idea of a square shape. SIMPLE (I don't know how many times have I used this. My thesaurus is in my task bar to ensure that I don't overuse the word simple TOO MUCH) and it's just so rare to find diamond rings like that. They usually come in yawny shapes like circular or just a stretch of square diamonds (which I absolutely adore though, fully contradicting to what I just said. Ah well, I just can't make up my mind okay).
RING CONTESTANT NO.4:
Elsa Peretti Wedding Band Ring S$3150
See? I can always trust Tiffany to come up with something different yet uncomplicated (although I believe, if they wanted, it would be REAAALLY complicated). Just a row of diamonds like that, in a not-so-circular ring. PERFECTO'.
RING CONTESTANT NO.5:
Century Ring S$2430
Again, Tiffany's! Ahhhh, my heart is melting. LOOK AT THE DESIGN! INGENIOUS! Not too much of that sparkle yet it still has that 'band' concept that I would want in my wedding ring which I can't trust to find alot in the jewellery market. Well, there ARE, but not the ones that I'm absolutely crazy about. Isn't it a beauty? This is defo' one of my favourites!
RING CONTESTANT NO.6:
Elsa Peretti Square Ring S$600
DIFFERENT DIFFERENT DIFFEEEEEERENT! Gorgeousness, no? Man, it's so hard to say what I like about this ring, it is like explaning to a person who does not have a sense of touch on how the wind feels like.
RING CONTESTANT NO.7 (and the last contestant):
Jean Schlumberger Sixteen Stone Ring S$10 500
THIS IS BYFAR, THE ONLY GOLD RING AND THE ONLY RING THAT I THINK IS THE BEST OUT OF ALL THE RINGS. Call me biased, but I reaaaaaaally like this ring so much! Despite the hefty price (oof! I feel the pinch in my future husband's bank account), I absolutely love the design of the criss crosses that's adorned around the whole ring and the whole ring is dotted with sapphires and the diamonds. AHHHHH! I think I've already decided on which ring already. (;
Next up, pretttttty rings for accessorising. I'm a girl who just feels that beings on Earth will never EVER (and I really mean NEVER EVER) have too much/many ('much' in my case cus I've got too much) accessories. Same goes for bags and clothes and eyeliners. WOOO HOOOOO!
Moderne Ring S$405
This ring actually reminded me of the times where I was absolutely crazy about triangular studded belts because I felt that it made me look like some punk-rock chick (HAH!) so this ring can be another representation for that belt if you are still into that studded belt thing which I secretly still have a penchant for, shhh, don't tell. (; Let this be a secret between both of us.
Paloma's Tenderness Heart ring S$390
In their website, they say that this ring is a ring of friendship and happiness blah blah blah. This is THE ring I would give to Nur for always being there for me whenever I feel as though a fat bull has just taken dump on me. Of course, I'd offer this ring to my 2 other best friends too but aiyah, they are guys, as if guys want such a girl ring. Would you, Nat, Shaun? (PS. Nur, I hope you don't expect me to reaaaally buy this ring. This claim is on assumption that I have a salary of a Singapore's PM (;)
1837 Ring in sterling silver S$360
Two words:
1837 ring in 18kgold S$1650
*See above*
NEXT, necklaces, bracelets, brooches!
Star of David S$405
Close friends of mine would know that I've got this uncanny thing for Star of David (which I'm planning to get it inked on my left wrist after I've settled down with my life) which I can never get bored of looking at and I thought, daaamn! This is just stunning. Absolutely. Surely. PREEEETTY!
Fish Necklace S$1890
See how beautiful Tiffany translate fish into this shape? When I first saw this, I thought that this was some slanted vase-looking pendant. Then, I looked again, strucked by the light of the fluorescent light in my room, I was enlightened. Tiffany, Tiffany, Tiffany, oh, how you amaze me.
Elsa Peretti Bone Cuff S$1230
Chunky cuffs. What can go wrong? Le sigh, what else can I say?
Hearts brooch 18k white gold S$2625
Wow, this is way moreeeee steep than some of my wedding rings (although I've already chosen it, but still, the other rings are still in consideration). Although a tad too girly for me, I think that it is just quite ridiculous that the brooch is way more costly than a ring. Maybe my future husband can give this to me as a replacement of a wedding ring! (I kid, I kid. Who would pass up a ring for a brooch? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Not in a million years.)
Paloma Picasso Graffiti Scribble Brooch S$555
CLAAAAAAAAAAAASSY. It spells Classy, only that is has more A's because it deserves more A's. Whatever that means.
Elsa Peretti Amapola Brooch 18k gold with red silk S$2925
This will be the brooch I will buy if I wear them. I like that the red contrasts with the gold. Genius! Many kisses to Elsa Peretti! LONG LIVE ELSA PERETTI!
While looking at the gorgeousness of Tiffany's, I came across all sorts of random and retarded things that Tiffany was selling. I just laughed out loud at some of the items. Some of the items were just unnecessary and others were just for the rich people to use because people like us have substitutes for that very item which serves the same purposes.
Sterling silver Pool Triangle S$3375
OH REALLY? I wonder why professionals never used them. Hmmmmm...
Atlas Compass S$600
These are for the flamboyant, fashion-conscious Army boys of Singapore. This would be so cool!
Imagine a soldier who is covered in mud, soil and dirt is lost on an enemy's island. Then he whips out his Tiffany & Co.'s compass to direct his way...
WOW, talk about having the most unnecessary item during a war. He'd win, hands down. Somehow I can see David Gan having this.
Well, if you think the above compass is not for you ('What's with the Roman numerals?!' you might think),
S$510
(Personally, even though I know my opinion isn't important on this particular item, I feel that this compass is way nicer than the Atlas one.)
Atlas Chalk Holder S$405
This is probably one of the most ridiculous item I saw and scoffed at when I saw this item. If you are rich enough to get an Atlas Chalk holder for your *cough* blackboard, you should be rich enough to replace that dreadful board with a whiteboard. Go figure.
Bookmark S$180
Isn't that ridiculous. Pardon me, but isn't $180 too steep for a bookmark? Heaven forbid, I loose this bookmark, which is the reason why I just use any receipt I can find in my drawers as my bookmark. Well, most of the time I just fold my pages, not very nice but still! It serves the same purpose as a bookmark, reminding you where you last stopped.
S$150
I prefer the circular one though. This looks quite like a 'a stage more and it'll turn into a guitar pick'.
S$300
OOOOOH! How pretty is this pencil! I bet it's be a real workout by just using it to write since it's gonna weigh a ton. Nevertheless, beaaautiful.
Just when you thought that things are weird enough, things just got worst.
Byfar, the most bizarre things found in Tiffany & Co.'s website:
Tiffany's Porridge Cooker S$870
INSANE HUH. Toldcha'.
Last but not least,
Baby Comb S$285
I never knew Tiffany sold combs that costs more than what people earn in a week. And I thought combs sold by those quality brands were expensive. WOAAAH, this tops the list of 'the most insignificant thing you ever need' in 2007.
HEAVY STUFF HUH! Alright, on the lighter note, I browsed through some comics. Here were some interesting ones I got.
I LOVE PIGS
I ATE YOUR RAINBOW
SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD
I WILL FIGHT YOU
I'M A DIVER
Alright, I've been blogging for 2 hours straight and I've got RP's Open House tomorrow and I've to meet up with the girls at 815am and I'm left with less than 7 hours of beauty sleep. Defo' not enough.
I've heard from mom that Florida's trip might be extended till next year! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Days are getting better now that my vacation has finally STARTED! (about time anyway)
When I'm back, will be uploading pictures of classmates and their kiasuism (hur hur!), a hilarious video of Khai and some other pictures. Today is an overload of pictures of me already and I hope it was for you because I bloody spent the whole day looking for great ass pictures.
PLENTY of kiss, love and tongue action, wishing all readers MERRY X'MAS!
SAM
