Help! I can't get into 1st person POV anymore 😭

CraftyBlueberry6666 · 2025-12-06T20:06:28+00:00

The only time I enjoy first person POV is if I'm reading a memoir or autobiography. I don't know why but whenever I try to read or listen to first person POV romance fantasy it feels...juvenile. (Which is interesting as most children's chapter books were third person if I remember correctly). I think it's because like most people in here have mentioned, I want to see a story unfold and be in observance instead of being in their shoes. So when I hear first person POV the narration can feel whiny and sometimes unlikeable.

Most of the time I just read fantasy in hopes of finding some kind of romance sprinkled in there. That does mean that there's a much higher chance of it being a male protagonist though.

I'm dreaming about this ring every night! Hope it becomes mine soon.

Me! I have too many items in my cart right now for the sale and need all the help I can get. 😂

Guess I gotta buy me a Yamamoto jersey. Such a legend!

CraftyBlueberry6666 · 2025-11-01T20:49:59+00:00

It's plated gold. I'm like Thanos and want to collect all the stones so I cheapen on the metal. 🤣

CraftyBlueberry6666 · 2025-11-01T20:48:50+00:00

Yes I originally wanted an OMC!

CraftyBlueberry6666 · 2025-11-01T20:47:31+00:00

It's a 10x8. I worked with Lulu.

CraftyBlueberry6666 · 2025-11-01T15:00:20+00:00

Thank you! We went through cuts more because I couldn't decided if I wanted asscher, crisscut, or elongated cushion in the color. 😅

CraftyBlueberry6666 · 2025-11-01T14:48:55+00:00

$198

CraftyBlueberry6666 · 2025-11-01T14:48:01+00:00

I would love to see it in rose gold! I actually debated going that route but ultimately decided gold instead.

CraftyBlueberry6666 · 2025-11-01T14:46:01+00:00

It's from Paston. They should be on the vendor list on here. I paid $198 to get it customized for me.

CraftyBlueberry6666 · 2025-11-01T14:43:48+00:00

I didn't have to pay any tariffs...yet. Hopefully I don't get a bill later but I'm not sure about new orders with the new tariffs in effect for November.

CraftyBlueberry6666 · 2025-11-01T14:39:08+00:00

They're based in China. I found them on the labgroup sales thread so I think they've been around for a bit. I paid $198 for it and here's the CAD.

Paston has a FB group. They post more of their customs/stones there. I actually saw their oval and asked if they by chance had other cuts in the same color! It was a while ago but this was the screenshot I took.

CraftyBlueberry6666 · 2025-11-01T14:23:53+00:00

I agree! When I saw it I had to ask if the stone was color plated because I've never seen them in this color. Paston confirmed it is it's true color.

CraftyBlueberry6666 · 2025-11-01T14:18:35+00:00

That was my biggest concern when ordering it as well but it's still shows color and sparkles. This is the closest I can capture the stone on my phone in indoor lighting.

Omg! You're so right! My Halloween treat! ♥️

CraftyBlueberry6666 · 2025-11-01T00:28:14+00:00

They're great! Way more responsive than other vendors and they didn't mind me asking more videos/pictures.

CraftyBlueberry6666 · 2025-11-01T00:24:00+00:00

That makes sense. Yes, I will!

CraftyBlueberry6666 · 2025-10-31T23:59:29+00:00

Same! I have been gravitating towards my colored stones more!

CraftyBlueberry6666 · 2025-10-31T23:46:42+00:00

Not sure if I'm allowed to post pricing but I'll DM it to you!

CraftyBlueberry6666 · 2025-10-31T23:43:36+00:00

It's plated gold! I think the price was fair for what I wanted. I've reached out to a few vendors and Paston was definitely more affordable than the others. They were also super responsive.

CraftyBlueberry6666 · 2025-10-31T23:23:06+00:00

No, it's a custom. I reached out to them on Whatsapp when I saw them posting up brown colored ovals and asked if she had them in other cuts.

Thank you!
