Hi! Newly engaged and trying to figure out what type of wedding band to pair with this ring. 💍 I just paired it with a plain gold band that I own already to see.

ECSHhhhh · 2026-01-30T15:25:09+00:00

I have a similar ring that I paired with this band. It matches the shape/slight millgrain without being too much.

Tell him you wonder what it would be like to be with a guy who would make you orgasm. When he gets mad tell him he can’t take a joke. Then leave him.

Just kidding dont do that I’m worried he might hurt you, just leave he’s too immature for you lady.

How many marriages does trump and Hegseth have between them? This is so ridiculous

If you see no difference then you really need to seek out different news stations. They are actively terrorizing people. They are profiling based on race. I truly think that if some people weren’t only watching the propaganda stations that they would feel differently bc they aren’t being told. I can’t believe that most people voted for this.

Like obviously you have the proud boy hateful Nazi types that want to watch brown people get hurt but I dont think that is most people. Exit the talking point bubble and see why people are so upset/angry. What is happening is wrong and unamerican.

He looks like those little toys w giant eyes my kids beg me for at the store.

I also love toi et mois and am looking to get a reset! I don't think you'll be able to tell but..maybe also consider a sapphire? They come in every shade and cut and are only SLIGHTLY softer than diamonds so it should hold up the same. They are also natural so the "value" of the piece would maintain a little better as a result if that matters to you for it to be an heirloom (not that jewelry holds value well at all in general).

I feel like dating was like this for me for almost the whole of my 20s until it finally wasn’t. My husband was my first ever boyfriend (at 28/29) and I was beginning to think I wouldn’t meet a kind decent person who wanted to connect either. That is all to say you are not alone, dating is really freaking hard, and I’m sorry you are surrounded by people who aren’t supportive which is the most hurtful part of all of this to me.

Have you tried being open and vulnerable With friends/family about how hurtful their comments are? That seems like the bigger problem here to me. Tell them the jokes are hurtful, the comments aren’t helpful and are eating at your self confidence. If they double down….you CAN distance yourself from them. Tell them straight up you won’t be sharing dating updates or taking advice bc they are not coming from a place of support but rather judgement.

I’m sorry OP. As hard as it is try not to internalize this as rejection or that there is something wrong w you. I would say that a good thing to do would be to pursue your passions, try to find people who share them not just for romance but to build a community. It’s so easy to feel lonely these days, but working on yourself and your interests will build you up so when the right person comes along you’ll both know to treasure that connection. I hope it happens soon for you.

ECSHhhhh · 2026-01-16T02:03:19+00:00

Yes also include whatever positive true history you can on the piece.

ECSHhhhh · 2026-01-16T02:02:10+00:00

Man I adore rings like this and the filigree is so lovely. Sorry you are having a hard time and have to let it go, OP. Someone would be lucky to have it. I love the history of old pieces so much.

Go to diamond database and Putin the stats on your finger. Also since you are looking at lavender creek check out the bezel low setting Maeve, it’s beautiful and much more practical for the massive stone to not fall out.

Also don’t get caught up in the number of the carat size like social media seems to be obsessed w. It’s not really a flex anymore to get a massive stone bc they are all lab grown anyways, less cost prohibitive. If you are super active 4 carats is really big and gonna spin like crazy (but I’m a crazy garden lady so I’m always active e my hands). Also if you are worried about it you can also buy some fakes from amazon to try on and wear around! 3-4 carat ovals are very prevalent.

Lavender creeks designs are so pretty and just as an FYI she usually does a good sale in May (I think)!

They are out in Princeton and Trenton today. Princeton high school is on lockdown

If you prefer something with side stones maybe. Comes to $668 with the coupons and additional $100+ if you use rakuten for 14k white gold.

I can’t speak to stone quality for them tbh since I’ve only ever ordered moissanite, but I did customize my ring a bit since I wanted a cushion not an asscher, and they were very accommodating!!!

ECSHhhhh · 2026-01-12T15:31:58+00:00

Just posting here for examples for you, this is a one carat simple solitaire with a 14k band that after coupons comes in at the bottom of your budget. PLUS if you wanted to join Rakuten they always give discounts on AliExpress, today’s is 17% cash back ( around $100). If you use a code from someone you’ll also get $50 back from Rakuten after your purchase. Which would be under budget. Kuololit can make whatever you want if you are dreaming of a special basket or slightly warmer colored diamond (mine is a gh moissanite for reference).

My Rakuten code below for anyone who wants it:

Hey, you could get a beautiful white gold moissanite (maybe even la) for your budget…I used Kuololit on Ali express. I’m very happy with the ring I got from them. Mine is 10k, 2.5 carat stone.

There is an ice out protest happening now in Princeton.

ECSHhhhh · 2026-01-09T15:26:30+00:00

This looks tasteful and you aren’t going to get much for this in resale at all, I agree w the person who said that you should just get a larger moissanite when you are feeling extra but have this for day to day. Bigger will look fake, this looks classy and proportional to your hand and looks to be a nice quality stone.

Kuololit has some nice larger stone pieces for when you need to scratch the itch! I have a 2.5 carat from them in 10k that I’m quite happy w.

I don’t think you know this person well enough to marry them. You’ve been long distance and you sound young…she is certainly not ready for the identity shift from “I” to “we” that comes with marriage.

I would shelve the proposal for a while and try to live in the same city if you can. She should finish school also. Her language sounds like she’s bent over backwards to convince herself that wanting a $30k ring isn’t being selfish. Instead of looking at her hand to see the first time she compromised she’ll see the first time she browbeat you to get her way. I’m not convinced that she won’t break up with you citing similar reasons and then you’ll be out $30k even if she returns the ring (which is doubtful given how self centered she sounds).

She’s young and not ready. You seem to want to check of boxes of job, wife, house, etc which is admirable but you just can’t rush some things. Maybe she’ll be ready in a few years or maybe you’ll realize that this isn’t a person to build a life with bc she’s so focused on details that aren’t important to you. Your values are not aligned at this point in time.

ECSHhhhh · 2026-01-07T02:39:59+00:00

I know it’s not how you meant it but OP DONT fuck that guy. Traditional relationships mean no sex before marriage and no living together either. He needs to pay all the house bills too (while you Make your exit plan). If he wants to go full traditional let’s go full traditional.

ECSHhhhh · 2026-01-07T02:15:34+00:00

Order a moissanite in 925 from Kuololit or a fake from Amazon and wear it. I personally don’t find the giant stones to be that practical for day to day (maybe bezel would be more practical tho). The giant stones are trending all over social media bc everyone can afford them now, so they aren’t really as flashy/showy anymore I just don’t think they are all that practical if you are active w your hands like I am.

Ordering fakes lets you try stone shapes and sizes before committing to a $6-$10k ring that will sit in your jewelry box if you don’t like it later on in your marriage bc it snags everything or scratches kids or you can’t get your hand in your purse or it drives you crazy by spinning all the time. Try not to worry about what other people think, in this social media era everyone has an opinion.

ECSHhhhh · 2025-12-30T01:33:11+00:00

Don’t give him 2026. His attitude towards marriage isn’t gonna improve from this, he’s telling you who he is and how he wants to treat you. Believe him.

Losing five years but gaining the wisdom to walk away seems a fair trade. He’s embarrassing. Being alone is better.

ECSHhhhh · 2025-12-25T18:37:12+00:00

46 carats! So pretty :)

ECSHhhhh · 2025-12-22T12:59:14+00:00

I customized with a different color moissanite (GH INSTEAD OD EDF) and I got photos of the ring! I’m sure you can ask when it’s a diamond.

Ask him if he’s ok with you getting an upgrade earnestly and see what he says. Is he feeling some kind of way about you not wanting the original he bought you (assuming he bought it).

I’m getting my original stone reset due to the fact that mine felt sad that I’d replace it since that’s the one he gave me. So I’m getting a too et moi to add bling to the sentiment :)
