Our rings

The Cook and I bought our wedding rings in Meycauayan, Bulacan. My college friend and Meycauayan native, M, helped us visit jelwery shops. She knows alot about buying jewelries so we're confident of buying the real kind and not the fake ones.

We went to Meycauayan early Saturday morning to avoid traffic and midday heat. Jewelry and pawn shops are everywhere in Meycauayan! It's kind of overwhelming. :)

Jewelry shops open at 10am and since we're early, we first ate breakfast at a nearby fastfood. After catching up stories with M, we started on our ring hunt.

Jewelries are priced by gram. In one of the shops, they price their rings as P1,400 per gram of gold. So, if your ring has 3 grams of gold, you'll pay P4,200 (around USD 87.5). Affordable, right? And you are guaranteed that you are buying the real thing.

We bought our rings in...(sorry, the name escapes me right now). We found our rings in a unique display of rings. Usually, you'll see jewelries in velvet boxes inside glass cabinets. In our case, we bought our rings from the what I call "rings-on-stick Collection". The rings are secured on a stick. Imagine your finger as the stick and you are wearing lots of rings in various designs and sizes. That's where we chose our rings. Notice that there are small tags in our rings. It shows how many grams of gold are used in the ring, the price and size.

Thanks M for helping us! Mwaaah!
