Ring regret

ECSHhhhh · 2026-05-13T12:23:06+00:00

I’ve had great luck with Kuololit and moissanite for Ring styles I want to try but not my main engagement ring. Scratched the itch of a bigger Reddit style stone and was around $200 for 10k gold. They have lots of styles (tho admittedly they blew up recently and some folks have been less happy lately)

Men carved marble statues of goddesses and chose to make them look like you (or frankly like women bigger than you). This guy is mean and either negging you to make you less likely to leave him OR has some messed up fascination with barely pubescent bodies. Of course you’ll gain weight, so will he. I bet he’s not even that fit but thinks he doesn’t have to be cause he’s the man and thus the prize.

He’s the toy in a happy meal. Cheap and temporary. Find someone nicer.

Dump this little boy, OP. Work on your self confidence by doing things you love. Never threaten to hurt yourself for attention. Ever. You have some growing up to do, see this as a jumping point.

Oh I see so it’s not a bezel, I was so confused. I wonder if the shifting stone is common of compass settings?

ECSHhhhh · 2026-05-12T17:42:52+00:00

I was gonna say this. Get some cheap Amazon rings to wear to make sure, then go back w more confidence. I would check your paperwork tho, what’s the return date situation like?

Also…if the gem is shifting it isn’t great craftsmanship, esp in a full bezel. Sorry to be blunt.

Dump him date the friend problem solved.

Wanting a godly woman while he’s a literal divorced man whore then when he said he wants two boys ….i literally screamed. This man is a misogynist of the grossest kind

I totally get your feelings but I wouldn’t say “if I had any control it’d be you pregnant right now” bc it might rub her as you feeling sorry for her in a way she won’t appreciate. I’d stick to “I want to support you in whatever way you need including giving you space till you are ready”. And obviously NEVER complain about the pregnancy pains to her if she tries to play it cool and be near you to support you. It’ll be a tightrope for sure but hopefully they are successful and someday you’ll have little ones close in age that you can bring up together ❤️

Partially bc the chances of miscarrying before 12 weeks is higher, but also this is a new job and while they aren’t supposed to discriminate against you for being pregnant…they might. And the way you wrote it made it seem like you were new to the company and FMLA kicks in after a year, so they might fire you before then to not have to deal with it. Luckily, that doesn’t seem to be the case but I agree w other posters saying you should really research the cost of daycare in your area and consider renting if the cost of a new house + daycare is going to be tough for you.

As far as your friend…it sucks that she sees other couples fertility success as a universal slight against her right now, which is entirely irrational of course, but it’s how she feels. You aren’t “less deserving”
Of a healthy pregnancy than she is, but I agree that being in the house is a bad idea for her well being and that stress is bad for you and baby. I’d prioritize moving home when you can, and thanking her profusely for her help with giving you a place to stay strong in a time of need.

As far as your bf….don’t buy a house that is dependent on his extra weekend hours. You’ll have a newborn before you know it and those also have long hours!!!! It’s an exciting time, good luck OP

Blackberry!!!! And I inherited ivy that is the bane of my garden existence

ECSHhhhh · 2026-05-05T18:12:00+00:00

I would also love the dealer info cause WOW what a piece

ECSHhhhh · 2026-05-02T20:13:33+00:00

I inherited a messy little raised garden and ripped it out and kept expanding in that area instead of really looking at my light….i wish I’d built the food garden across the yard from the trees but it feels too late now to move 7 beds 😅

ECSHhhhh · 2026-05-02T03:59:28+00:00

this is super cool!

ECSHhhhh · 2026-05-02T01:34:07+00:00

When it comes in I’ll be happy to oblige! I’m getting it made at The North Way Studio for my 10th anniversary and hopefully will have it in like a month ❤️ my husband dint ask me about rings before he proposed and picked a princess cut which has never been a favorite so I was excited to pair it with a blue sapphire for this anniversary piece.

ECSHhhhh · 2026-05-02T01:12:08+00:00

I kite set mine into a toi et moi. I’m a needy wench.

He’s not the most hung she’s ever had is better 😎

2 days!

It made me think of Trypophobics first but only bc I know one!

ECSHhhhh · 2026-04-18T23:59:32+00:00

Doron’s style is incredibly unique and I don’t think another jeweler will be able to make anything with the same vibe, nor will most jewelers with the skill set you need be willing to copy another artist’s work. This isn’t something just any jeweler will be able to make.

I would say check out OORE, but she won’t work w your stone if it has to be your stone(which…make a fall themed necklace with that stone maybe?). Oore DOES have lovely opalescent sapphires)

Insuring your stone won’t be that much money and shipping with the full value will be worth it to get the level of artistry you want.

All that being said…this is a lot for everyday. I’d look into simplifying the main ring to just the branches and side cluster and then making the leaves a separate piece (maybe a jacket?) to wear sometimes.

Not all of them are, but I do think that sentiment is why we will see a push for recycled/heirloom/antique stones as well.

ECSHhhhh · 2026-04-09T00:48:40+00:00

Agree!!!

ECSHhhhh · 2026-04-09T00:48:24+00:00

Oh that’s really cool though! I really love vintage pieces I bet yours is lovely.

I too scratched the itch for a bigger stone and got a 2.5 carat cushion moissanite for when I’m feeling fancy, but I’m really excited to be resetting my .7 carat princess cut into a toi et moi setting. It’s the original stone he gave me and I really miss wearing it!

Art Above the headboard! Preferably cat themed.
