In Reply to: couple of questions re Ms Pak... posted by stephjoy on Monday, 3. August 2009 at 13:13 Bali Time:
Last September I had a new ring made from a few old rings by Ms Pak, both my gold and stones were used to make my new ring, plus I purchased an additional 5 diamonds from her.
This ring is not small, to give you an idea of cost for workmanship the ring spans the distance from the base of my middle finger to the first knuckle joint. It has over 30 stones (diamonds and rubies) set in the design. The total cost including the purchase cost of additional diamonds was $350AUD which I thought a real bargain considering the size of the design and amount of work involved.
It took 5 days rather than the 7 quoted. I orginally went to Mayang in Kuta Square but the jeweller backed out of the transaction when he saw my design.
Bali Rani is virtually opposite Centro.
By the way I have had the ring checked and valued by a trusted jeweller here in Sydney and it checked out fine. All the stones were as quoted in the documents she gave me for insurance purposes. It never leaves my finger and I am more than happy with it.
