I need to go that feeling on, and I would like folks to take pleasure in jewelry as a lot as I do. I imply, S$8,000 remains to be an enormous quantity for younger folks, nevertheless it’s not S$30,000. Lab diamonds are making jewelry a bit extra accessible. It is nonetheless luxurious and a severe buy, nevertheless it will not drain you as a lot as it will if it was mined. Jewelry is enjoyable, and that is what I would like rinn to be.”
