26 Buying rings at Fengs - Part 4
Hou Yi, explained to Anna Jones, that the VIP rooms at Fengs, were simply given a room number, it was not a sign of status of the room, which Anna could not believe.
Before Anna could say anything more, a young woman walked in, being careful to shield Hou Yi and Anna from outside view with three men accompanying her with jewellery trays, which they placed on the large table in front of Hou Yi and Anna.The woman shut the door and the men, stepped back towards the wall."CEO Hou, Madam Hou, I am Assistant Manager Wong.Manager Yong, in and among dealing that scene out there indicated to me what you were looking for.The first thing I need to do is check each of your ring sizes, so that if necessary we can have the rings you choose adjusted for size."
With that, she came and moved a small chair on the opposite side of the table in front of Hou Yi and Anna, and pulled from a draw, a ring sizer and a note pad.With that, she checked both Hou Yi and Anna's ring sizes, and when she was happy made a note of this on the notepad.
"Thank you.Now please let me explain our initial choices here.In terms of the Engagement Ring you requested CEO Hou, we have selected a number of diamond solitaires from the collection.Each of these contains diamonds from the Kimberley region of Western Australia, including pink and red diamonds, and have been issued with all the appropriate certificates.The rings generally have between 1.5 and 2 Carats of diamonds in each ring, but the largest has a 5 carat diamond in it."
With that Assistant Manager Wong, turner around and selected a tray from behind her, bringing it around for Hou Yi and Anna to look at.Anna turned to Hou Yi "I do not want a large expensive ring.I am aware that Pink diamonds are the most expensive in the world, can we rule them out."
"No let us just have a look at the rings, and see if there is something that you like, rather than worrying about cost.I can afford it."
Anna stopped from answering back, as if Hou Yi's family own the jewellery store then, likely that can afford the ring at least.
Both turned their attention to the rings in the tray that Assistant Manager Wong was holding, and after a few minutes both reached towards the tray for the same ring.Anna, looked at Hou Yi and blushed.He removed it from the tray and looked to Anna and asked "Are you sure this is the ring.Do not think that just because we both were drawn to it that it is the right ring.You can select another if you want."With that Hou Yi handed the ring to Anna for a closer look.
After Anna took a little time to consider the ring that Hou Yi had handed to her, she handed it to Hou Yi, and responded "Absolutely certain."
With that Hou Yi, handed the ring to Assistant Manager Wong.She looked at the ring and said "Good choice CEO Hou and Madam Hou.While not going into too many details, the ring has a 1.5 carat Pink Diamond, on a white gold band.There is also a similar ring on platinum and on yellow gold."
"No, that ring is perfect," was Hou Yi's immediate response.
"Thank You.Now that you have this ring, let me show you wedding bands.If it not too presumptuous I have an idea for wedding rings that will work with the engagement ring that you have selected.The designer, who works for us on a contractual basis only allowed 4 sets of these rings to be made worldwide, with diamonds in the female version.There is one that has pink diamonds from the Kimberly region in Australia in it, and they will complement the pink diamond in the engagement ring."
With that Assistant Manager Wong, turned around, placed the engagement ring selected to one side, returned the tray with the engagement rings on the table, and selected a second tray, turning back around to face Hou Yi and Anna.She bent her head down, and selected a matching ring set, and handed the rings to Hou Yi.He took one brief look at the rings and handed them to Anna.She could see that there were two pink diamonds, and where they were sitting they would be visible and appear to nestle the engagement ring.The design appeared to be magical to Anna, and she turned back to Hou Yi, handing him the rings and nodding.
Hou Yi responded "These appear to be the right rings.Can we, however, have a look at the other sets to be certain."
Anna, put her hand on Hou Yi's arm, and he turned to her."No, I know that they are perfect.Not because the design is limited, but the design reminds me of waves in the sea, which to me are a way for us to link me back to where I grew us, near the sea in Australia, and with the pink diamonds being from Australia, that link is there even more.If you want to look at others, I will, but …"
"No if that is what you want, we will have set."
