How and where to get a replacement wedding ring?
-
My boss dropped his wedding ring a few months ago. It wasn't really his fault, I know. Cuz he has lost some weight and his fingers become thinner and I noticed that his wedding ring looked a bit loose on his finger.
One day, after lunch, he gan cheong, searched hi and lo for the ring. How to find? The place so big, the ring so small. Plus the cleaner super hardworking, always vacuum floor one. Should go bye bye one.
But recently, he and his wife got some quarrel. Actually should be nothing one lah. But when the wife realised that he lost the ring, she lagi more angry. Now my boss looks very sian at work. On top of that, my top management are arseholes, giving my boss lotsa pressure too.
I see him so sad, I also feel bad, cuz my dept don't really have fantastic performance in the last few weeks.
He's been very good to me. I dunno how to work, he guide me. When I really really too stupid to understand the work, he do for me. He doesn't scold his staff cuz he believes everyone needs respect one.
Since he so nice, I want to do something for him. I want to get a replacement ring for him. I can remember how the ring looks, cuz it looks kinda unique and I used to stare at it when I discuss work with him.
I want to give it to him as a surprise to perk him up and hopefully help to reconcile he and his wife.

Stupid answers are not welcome. cuz this is a serious matter!!! -
You need to get the wife's wedding ring, as a sample.
Then go visiting goldsmith shops and try your luck, to see if they have a similar ring. If there is, you must get the same size as the one he lost. Wives know immediately if the size is different from the original. Also you must make it age.
If your boss married a long time ago, getting a similar one would be impossible, but it may be possible to make a copy. It will cost you. But engraving if any would be difficult to duplicate.
How are you going to get the wife's ring?
The easiest way out for your boss is to find the ring, failing which to admit to the wife that he has lost the ring. -
Maybe you can try asking those old school jewellery shops?
Not those SooKee, Lee Hwa lah. -
Found out how liao remember to update hor.
Then next time pple will know where to do the same thing. -
As far as getting a replacement wedding ring is concerned, I don't think it's appropriate for you to do so. Instead of reconciliation, what you do might make matter worse.Originally posted by Honeybunz:My boss dropped his wedding ring a few months ago. It wasn't really his fault, I know.

A wedding ring should be a personal and sacred item so no one else other than the partner (in this case, your boss' wife) should get it.
I think it's nice and thoughtful of you to want to help your boss, unfortunately there are certain things you just can't do for him.

even if TS is his PA...wedding ring is still a very personal thing...I think the wife will start to imagine things if she found out TS did the replacement. -
tell those ghost to help look for the ring la..
-
Find out from him where he first got his wedding bands, go back to the same shop (if still around), the jewellers might be able to help...
-
lost means lost liao leh. diff to find replacement.
-
I agreed with honeymouse. Wedding ring is consider quite personal thing and especially now ur boss's wife already knew that ur boss lost the ring. She may suspect if she know now market dont have the same wedding ring anymore. It nice for you to think of helping your boss but this kind of thing better dont get urself involve. Why dont ask ur boss to bring his wife to the shop and get a couple ring instead.
-
i agree too. Wedding rings are very personal....
-
why shd u buy him wedding ring?!
he shd get a new pair for both himself and his wife... -
Bring the whole matter to God...
-
wonder why honeybunz always got this kinda problem
ur office very happening
-
tell boss dat he shld let he's wife know abt the lost of the ring n let him replace t himself. not u.
if u replace, there's gonna be more probs arising between ur boss n he's wife. n end up, u suddenly become the 3rd party. -
I'm going to give you my opinion. But you won't like it.
Stay out of it. Reason is simple. If his wife finds out that you helped your boss with his ring, she will go crazy.
Imagine your husband at work loses his ring. And his assistant (who happens to be a girl) was so nice to help him find a replacement or something along that line.
I know it's the thought that counts. You want to be kind. But as a woman, try to imagine how his wife would feel, if she finds out. Only if.
The ring is already so personal. That's why i think having a female employee solve this problem only makes matters worse.
Told you you won't like my opinion.
-
hey good luck
-
I don't it's you that should be getting the ring. Instead maybe you can tell your boss about the location where it's possible for him to get the replacement. Then he do it himself.
-
I think he shld go back to the store and try to find the same design ring...
When his wife see the ring come back hor, she sure happy(provided she know that lost liao and ur boss made the effort to go find everywhere in sg to find that design)
Must remember to say find very very very hard to find same design arbo she will buey song.
Alternative, go buy those dua dua liap diamond 1, she sure happy ah. -
I think if the wife (until today) is still angry with her husband for losing the ring, something is seriously wrong with the marriage.
The ring, afterall, is only just a symbol of your love for each other and it means nothing if there's no demonstration of love (one of them is forgiveness) in the marriage. It only becomes a false security.
It's rather easy for the ring to slip out of your finger especially when you have lost weight (in the case of Honeybunz's boss) and when your hand is cold. My father-in-law has lost and replaced his ring several times now during his 30 years of marriage with my mother-in-law. -
the boss is in deep s h i t
this is all i can said -
The boss could get a new pair of wedding rings and reaffirm his marriage wows.
The lost ring could be turned into an excuse to have a re-wedding.
The bride could be blushing all over again.
