shopping....again?

was shopping for a present yesterday.
A necklace or any accessory will be fine. So i went into a jewelry store to enquire the price.

The sales girl introduced me to their necklace.
A white gold chain will cost abt $600, and thats just the chain only.
She then introduced me to other material such as stainless steel.
The chain itself is average $50, the pendant will be another $50 roughly...
It quite amusing to see a chain which is designed exactly the same as my lanyard to be of that price.

I switched my attention to their bracelet. Its another of those white gold which averaged $100-200...
i really wondered what white gold is.

its just like silver, just that silver will turn black after time, white gold doesn't.

Upon searching at dictionary.com it appears to me that white gold are actually alloy of gold and other metal such as nickel. And so i wondered, there are people who spend $$ buying gold, just that the gold is white color. No difference betwen cheaper metal such as silver or steel.

It was around that time, the other salegirl served me tea. 'Its a welcome tea', she said.
The GEMS project is really remarkable, or are all jewelry store are like so?

Anyway, the tea is of better quality i would say. Not those cheap lipton tea which mac sells for $1.70, which is ridiculous. But i only took a sip before enquiring more things.

Since i'm already in the store i might as well learn more abt its price of their items.
They showed me their earrings.
Its cost $200 as they got diamond in them! Its quite cool i would say.
I'm still pondering if i want to buy...hmmm choices...

Really wonder if i'll buy for myself one of these days..
