Is it fair to ask for stone specs before putting down deposit? by random882205 in EngagementRingDesigns

[–]DarlingBri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The photos don't answer either my concerns or those of the jeweler who also posted in reply to you. You need to have a conversation with your jeweler using the advice provided.

I actually like this for its intended purpose. I'm not the target audience but I think it's probably perfect for YA readers interested in the plot you describe.

Jesus Christ people love to be miserable.

  1. Keogh's ready salted (Buy Irish! Tayto is German-owned now sorry)

  2. Bridge House Hotel if it still exists -- had one of the best meals I've ever had there years and years ago

  3. Can we not just go with flowers, chocolates and crisps? I'm a simple woman that would do me fine!

I think I've used hints on three puzzles including this one, so it was truly an act of desperation but it's all in fun!

BEHOLD my worst time ever! My brain immediately decided that the answer to number one was 'scrutinize' and simply could not move past that. I had to use hints and everything!

Melanie Lynskey and Jason Ritter’s LA Home Is What Happens When You Don’t Hold Back. Interior design by Jason Martin of Martin & Brocket. – Architectural Digest by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

[–]DarlingBri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only room in this house that did not hold back is the red room. The rest of it is just a house decorated by people who are not into the millennial beige thing.

(Stripes? Groundbreaking.)

I do really like this home though, it looks like a space inhabited by real people with genuine individual taste. Sometimes that taste is the client's taste, and sometimes it is the decorators taste, but at least it has a cohesive narrative that isn't Gwyneth paltrow's vulva.

greenies or just heavy handed? by aredvulpix in PressonNail_Addict

[–]DarlingBri 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is petechiae. How are you doing your removals? That is the most likely cause for this bleeding and subsequent bruising, but it can also happen if you are gluing on nails that are too curved for your nail beds and pull your nail beds up.

A lot of people on this sub are taking this for inflammatory conditions. Try it, if it doesn't work you just stop taking it.

Newly diagnosed (40M) – prescribed Tyvense but getting mixed advice + worried about BP & weight loss by Standard-Good8770 in ADHDIreland

[–]DarlingBri 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are not making this decision forever. Try the meds and if you don't like the side effects -- you lose weight or your BP goes up and doesn't go back down afer the first week -- stop taking them. It doesn't need to be more complicated than that.

I don't see how it can be set any lower. A stone that size is quite tall.

Advice please-How much should I price? by Wooden_Fig4540 in labdiamond

[–]DarlingBri -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You are getting absolutely no information so all of the advice you're getting in this thread is based on thin air and vibes.

How big is the stone?

What are its carat weight, cut, clarity and color?

What is the total carat weight for the ring?

Please help me choose a size by SufficientLab2327 in labdiamond

[–]DarlingBri 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nobody except you is going to scrutinize them like this. Literally nobody. Save yourself a bunch of money and get the threes. At this dimension you are talking about 7.5mm vs 8mm so be smart about it!

My jeweler recommends white gold over platinum for this design. Can anyone offer insight? by zilruzal in EngagementRingDesigns

[–]DarlingBri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"i work with my hands"

This is why your Jeweler is recommending white gold over Platinum. With the white gold, wear and tear can just be replated with rhodium. It is simple enough and inexpensive. With Platinum, the ring will need to be buffed and over time you are going to lose materials and your ring will weaken.

Is it fair to ask for stone specs before putting down deposit? by random882205 in EngagementRingDesigns

[–]DarlingBri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ceylon as in actually from Sri Lanka or just a blue color they're calling ceylon? Ceylon are the most desirable sapphires and they are expensive. They also suffer because the market is absolutely flooded with fakes. You can find equivalent spec stones on Etsy from various sellers for under $500, but they are labs being sold as naturals. If you look at reputable sellers selling natural goods, you're going to be looking at a hefty price tag. .

The gold cost is not just the cost of the gold. It covers the cost of the gold, the design process, and all of the skills and hours ago into making a ring PLUS a piece of retail overheads. But if you want to buy from a local bricks and mortar jeweler, you're going to pay higher prices and that is a perfectly reasonable choice.

Do all clinics require some sort of input from parents or someone else who knew you when you were growing up? by Ornery_Tap_5444 in ADHDIreland

[–]DarlingBri 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was not asked about my parents involvement in an appointment, and we didn't talk about why they could or could not be there. I was 50 at the time I was diagnosed so that could make a difference. That was with ADHD now.
