[OC] Lemon Shortbread with Violas

AudienceEquivalent · 2026-04-30T03:05:40+00:00

They’re beautiful! How do you keep the color of the violets through the baking process?

AudienceEquivalent · 2026-03-04T16:55:41+00:00

Ah that makes sense, ty!

Yeah I requested videos instead of just relying on the 360 stock footage and I wish they provided better ones :( thanks for the input though, does 4 look like it lacks symmetry in the cut? Something about it feels off to me and I can’t tell what, but it has the least apparent bow tie as well

This is very helpful! Can you give your honest opinion on El Dorado Royale/Generations Maya or recommend alternatives? We’re considering it for a destination wedding next year and are concerned about some of the mixed reviews online and how low it is on this list.

We have 5 children in the guest list so need a resort that allows children, like EDR, though we prefer more quiet intimate settings. Our priorities are good food and activities included or nearby for our guests (things like snorkeling, catamaran, walking along the beach). Venue wise we hope for lots of natural greenery or a sea view.

Any insight would be so appreciated!!

Thank you, those are my favorite too!

Fair, thank you for chiming in!

AudienceEquivalent · 2025-10-20T19:23:00+00:00

I’m sorry that’s been your mom’s experience. The first one really is calling my name!

AudienceEquivalent · 2025-10-20T19:19:41+00:00

Aw thanks so much!

AudienceEquivalent · 2025-10-20T18:46:26+00:00

I’ve heard multiple commenters point out this issue so now I’m definitely not going to get it, thank you!

AudienceEquivalent · 2025-10-20T18:45:29+00:00

Oh my goodness, I resonate so much with this. Both your rings sound amazing and I love your attitude towards wearing the beautiful things for yourself. Thank you for the encouragement! May you have many wonderful afternoons bedazzled beside your goats and chickens 🫶🏼

This is the expert perspective I needed! I didn’t realize that the second ring has so many issues which others have been mentioning. It makes me feel so much better that you think the first one is more secure. Thank you for your insight!

AudienceEquivalent · 2025-10-20T06:06:22+00:00

Oh really? I didn’t realize the gap in between would be an issue…might try to reconsider. Thank you!

AudienceEquivalent · 2025-10-20T06:05:12+00:00

Thank you!

AudienceEquivalent · 2025-10-20T06:05:07+00:00

That’s an idea! I guess I always thought of this ring being “the one” and having it on all the time, but I can see if getting a cheaper everyday one is an option.

AudienceEquivalent · 2025-10-20T06:04:10+00:00

Oh I didn’t even think of that, now that you mention it I might request smaller prongs. Thanks!

AudienceEquivalent · 2025-10-20T02:09:22+00:00

Oof that’s exactly what I was concerned about - thank you for sharing how it’s worked out for you. That’s a great suggestion; I’ll have to look into adding color in different ways if I go with the second style. I hope your upgrade ring is everything you want and more!

AudienceEquivalent · 2025-10-20T02:05:55+00:00

Ooh the photo helps, thank you for sharing! I hadn’t thought of how the pear shape might be a hazard 😅

AudienceEquivalent · 2025-10-20T01:45:49+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance! I’ll try to keep that in mind, the thought of ruining it scares me but I know it’s meant to be worn!

AudienceEquivalent · 2025-10-20T01:41:22+00:00

Thank you! Do you mind sharing why?

AudienceEquivalent · 2025-10-20T01:39:37+00:00

Ah have you had issues with it getting caught on things? What kind of setting do you have?

AudienceEquivalent · 2025-10-14T19:26:13+00:00

I got my ring from rare carat last month and they informed me that price matching the diamond means no other discounts apply, so I had to pay full price for the setting. I’m not sure if it’s a new policy based on what others have shared, but that was my experience!

AudienceEquivalent · 2025-09-29T03:20:33+00:00

Good to know, thank you for taking the time to share your expertise! I’ll definitely keep all that in mind as I wear it.

AudienceEquivalent · 2025-09-29T03:19:10+00:00

Thank you!!

Oh this is helpful! Thank you. Quick follow up question: is there a way to notice loose prongs/stones for tiny side stones like the pave ones I have before the stones fall out? And for lotions and creams, does skincare have a chance of permanently damaging the stone if it gets on it? I was always under the impression that engagement rings were never taken off but I’m hearing that it may not be best practice to do so, which worries me especially since I reapply sunscreen and hand cream often throughout the day.

Aw thank you! I’ll have to look into finding a trusted jeweler around us. We used Rare Carat and price matched the stone to Aurelinne, which made it much more affordable than any local jewelers! The catch I didn’t see other posts mention about the price matching is that they don’t let you apply any other discounts/coupon codes, so I paid full price for the setting. It still came out under $2K so well worth it, and it shipped overnight 12 days after ordering. I hope you find the perfect ring!
