Buying a Ring 101

The experts will tell you what to look out for when you are buying a diamond ring. They call it the 4Cs. Cut. Carat. Colour. Clarity. There is also the issue of whether the diamond comes with a certificate or not. If it comes with a certificate, means you are not buying a fake bling bling from those girly accessories shop. If it doesnt come with a certificate, doesnt mean you are buying a fake bling bling but its supposed to be cheaper.

But they forgot to tell you about the 5th C. Cash. Damn bloody kan ni neh.

So, armed with the knowledge of the 4Cs which my fellow machas drilled into my thick skull, I went back to the diamond shop. This time I went without Black. All the input he gives me was just BIG, BIG BIG. Big not the diamond. But Big the salesgirl's tits.

Having done all my research on the 4Cs, I thought I was ready.

In the end ... all those 4Cs don't matter shit to me. All that was relevant to me at that time wasn't the cut or the colour or the carat or the clarity. All I ask was, "How Much?" And all my other reaction was ... kan ni neh... si peh kui (damn farking expensive).
