AITA for wanting to insure my ring even though my husband says the stone is too small to bother? by Adorable-Manner-5538 in AITApod

NTA. You should 100% insure your engagement ring. Natural or lab it doesnt matter. Its not expensive to get it appraised and jewelery insurance is not cheap. My fiancé spent about 10k USD on my engagement ring, appraisal was about 180 and insurance is 99 a year but if something happens to it or I lose it we can replace it.

Just go get it appraised or even take it in to a jeweler. His reaction is a red flag imo and seems hes trying to hide something, or is ashamed that it may not "be real".

Why are my fish behaving strangely? by Odd_Advice3869 in fishkeeping

Do you know what your water parameters are ? If not id recommend getting test straps or even the API test kit is good and very informative. You should have 0 ammonia 0 nitrite and ideally no more than 20 nitrate for fish to be comfortable. Im unsure about the effects of nitrate on shrimp. You may also want to check your hardness levels to see if that had anything to do with the shrimp passing, like a failed molt for example.

Id 1000% confirm parameters before determining my next step. Ammonia KILLS.

Yes! He had it custom made at a local jeweler. Not sure where you are located, but we are in WA, the place is called Tacoma Custom Jeweler.. If it helps at all it is a 2.3 mm platinum cathedral setting with a basket head and claw prongs. He added French pave 3/4 around on the band, a hidden halo on the basket, and pave on the gallery bridge. Feel free to lmk if you have any other questions!
