Diamond Pendant from Kalyan Jewellers
Hubby: You
want to buy anything in diamond?
Wifey: Eh???
Hubby:
What?? It is not a gift. You know I don’t buy gifts. You want or no??
Wifey (thinks): EEEEEEEEEEWCKK. So rude. You never know to surprise me….
Wifey (thinks): EEEEEEEEEEWCKK. So rude. You never know to surprise me….
Wifey: You
sure about spending on diamond? You don’t want the money for closing off the
car loan?
Hubby: I know my maths. If you don’t want any jewelry, no problem.
Wifey: Err.... Yes, I want. Let us buy.
So,
that’s the scene before we decided to set off for diamond shopping. :-P.
I
hopped from one-showroom to other, at least 4 to 5. Abharan, Jos Allukkas,
Malabar, Bhima and finally settled at Kalyan Jewellers. All these are giant
chains operating successfully ever where in India and even overseas. These are
very famous in South India.
Kalyan
Jewellers has great collections. Everything was tempting. If I could I would
grab everything possible. But who will pay for everything. My hubby set a
budget thing for me.
I
always longed for a single hooked pendant in diamond and ruby. The dashing
reddish pink of ruby would be very attractive. But, all the ruby-diamond
combinational pieces were too tiny for my idea of a pendant. I had to zero upon
this emerald-diamond piece. No regrets though. This is very unique and has its own
beauty.
In the entire design, I like the star and tear shaped drop at the bottom of the pendant. The duo just add to the length and also fancy the entire design.
The staffs there are
all from the male gender. I wonder why!! They have their own set of priorities
and requirements. Though male staffs, they have knowledge of every single
details of what they are dealing with. That’s professional training you see!
We had great experience
in shopping with them. They showed us everything possible; in the budget, out
of budget, in my taste, out of my taste. Not just pendant, every other jewelry I asked
for to see. The lady factor in me tested the patience in them. :-P.
I bought this in the mid of April 2013 (about one and a half month ago)
The pendant costed 140K Indian Rupees.
And the 18k gold chain costed about 10K Indian Rupees. (A little more or less. cant recall the exact figure)
So, on the whole everything was billed for an estimated sum of Rs.1,50,000.
So, on to some
technical details about today’s piece of jewelry. The staff there explained lot
of things about the piece I was about to buy. Now, it has just vanished from my
happy brain.
Yet, putting together
some terms from the certificate which has been provided along with the pendant.
