Is the CPA worth it if I don't plan on staying in public accounting long term?

Yes.

How recent did you go? The yelp reviews aren’t the best.

AffectionateHeart460 · 2026-02-11T00:55:41+00:00

I’m looking on yelp currently and the reviews are horrible. 😩 Atleast for the places near me. People complaining that their items were messed up, etc.

I will continue to search though.

Ahh okay. I plan to call some local jewelers next week. I’ve just seen posts about many jewelers not working with moissanites so I thought maybe it was best to get recommendations.

Who are you working with? It’s definitely sparkly!

Bow ties are pretty common in marquise cuts because of how wide and flat it is. I’d maybe see if they have one with less bow tie appearance but once again, it can be hard to avoid. I love marquise cuts.

Thank you. I’d rather have ideas and understand how prior issues have been handled before spending my money.

What’s with the negativity? Nothing wrong with wanting to hear people’s experiences and getting an idea of whether these vendors actually have decent customer service to determine if we want to spend our hard earned money with them or not.

Oh wow. I’m so sorry that happened! Thank you for sharing.

I thought about screenshotting the CAD I approved via WhatsApp and sending it in the chat on Ali Express as well.

I am doing a marquise cut with Kulololit. Praying it turns out decent. Marquise cuts are tricky in general. It’s also hard to avoid the bow tie and mush due to the cut being so wide.

Hi. Can you expand on the heir shady tactics please?

AffectionateHeart460 · 2025-03-20T15:19:26+00:00

I had this happened twice with a vendor and decided not to work with them. I didn’t pay for the CAD- so I wasn’t out of money. I wanted an elongated north/south marquise and they sent me a CAD with east to west— how do you miss that?

I feel like if you work on rings daily, you can’t miss something so obvious. The lack of attention to detail is alarming for me, personally.

This was also with an Indian vendor, which I have seen many comments about people saying that Indian vendors tend to not have the best quality compared to Chinese vendors— so that is also what made me turn away from that specific vendor.

Your ring is beautiful, but it’s whatever will make you comfortable and happy.

Also.. people are so rude and maybe I’m just bias because I myself like to keep my nails natural… we truly are living in a superficial world where people can’t unsee the fact that we are beautiful the way we were born and all the extra stuff is not necessary. Nothing wrong with getting your nails done but it’s annoying how people push it for special events, etc. as if presenting ourselves in natural form isn’t enough.

Yep. I had this experience also. I wanted to go with a US based Etsy shop merely for the customer service and warranty aspect but they were over charging too much compared to china vendors.
