My Black and White Affair: The Wedding Ring - Matus Jewellery Review

(Note: I am not paid to do this review nor a paid promotion.  I am just sharing my experiences through this blog. Enjoy reading!)


I am not a fan of jewelries. 
I love make-up and BB Cream but not jewelries. I love sneakers but not jewelries. I love cakes, ice cream, cheesecake and sweets, but not jewelries.

Same goes with my husband. He is not into wearing anything that is "shining, shimmering, splendid".  

That's why when my husband and I were trying to shop for a wedding ring, we looked for a simplest wedding rings we could find.

My co-worker told me to go to Ongpin and recommended a shop where her mom usually buys jewelries.I have read a lot of good reviews about the wedding rings from Ongpin. I've read that the jewelry there are affordable. Unfortunately, I had two concerns. First, I do not have any idea how to go to Ongpin and I have never been there. My husband and I were both working and we spend our weekends preparing for the wedding.  Going to Ongpin means we have to spend the whole day just to look for wedding rings. Second, my husband and I are both amateurs when it comes to jewelry. 

So again, I had to ask help from my bestfriend, Mr. Google. After reading threads, blogs, and countless reviews, I saw Matus Jewellery.

I was glad to know that Matus Jewellery is located at the 5th level of SM Megamall. 

My husband and I checked other jewelry shops in Megamall before going to Matus. We spent the whole afternoon going to every single jewelry shops in Megamall, asking for their designs, the prices, and the services that they could offer. We were very particular with the design and the price.  After checking out almost every jewelry shops in Megamall, my husband and I finally decided to get our wedding  rings in Matus Jewellery. 

Here are the reasons why I personally chose Matus Jewellery to make our wedding rings: 

1. As soon as we got inside the shop, we were accommodated immediately by the friendly owner. It was a woman and I was pretty sure that she was one of the owners of the Matus (Matus Jewellery is owned by Alain and Mye Siscar - got this info from their website). 

2. They answered all of our questions and was very patient with us. I do not have any idea about gold or jewelry. It's a bit scary to invest a big amount of money for wedding rings if you do not have any idea what to buy and where to buy.
They were so patient with us during the fitting and gave us detailed information about the wedding rings that they were offering. 

3. Honestly, among all the jewelry shops we had visited that day in Megamall, Matus Jewellery had the best offer. Their wedding rings were much affordable than the other shops. Almost the same design, same karat, but the price in Matus was like 10-20% cheaper. 

4. They offer a good after-sales service. Warranty, cleaning services, etc. 


We had our fitting on our first visit, gave our down payment on our second visit and got our wedding ring after two weeks. We even got to talk to the owner when we picked up our wedding rings. He was such a nice and cheerful man. :) 

I love our wedding rings (and thanks to my beloved grandfather who 'sponsored' our wedding rings). 

Overall, the transaction was hassle-free and I am one satisfied customer. And YES, Matus Jewellery is the best alternative if you do not want to go to Ongpin. :)
