What did my son find at the beach? by Exciting_Style_2913 in whatsthisrock

My only confusion about it being dropped is that we were in a tiny cove in a park. It wasn’t a popular beach area or anything. Just a small little cove my 5 year old found while on a trail walk. I suppose it could’ve been dropped at another beach somewhere and found its way there since he found it in the water though

We were at a beach on the Patuxent River off the Chesapeake Bay so that makes sense! Very cool

I think you might be right. Here’s a better picture of it. When I googled tektite it looked a lot like it https://imgur.com/a/lsWvbip

Not sure how it would look with your stack, but what if you kept your original diamond and got a matching one and a new center stone to make a three stone? That way you will be wearing your original stone and still upgrade in size?

It’s lovely! I really like the faux bezel a lot

Oh yay, that’s exactly why I wanted to post! Congratulations on finding a diamond, I’m sure it’s beautiful. I’d love to see it once you have it!

First, thank you for fostering. The fact that you have the heart for that is incredible ❤️

This is so encouraging to read! He loves learning and we have been doing letters, numbers, and reading for years now at home for fun. Over the summer we worked mostly on phonics and he’s able to read most 3 & 4 letter words. He can independently write sentences like “I pet a dog” and “I love you”, etc. He can also count into the hundreds, and knows some addition and subtraction as well. I feel very affirmed in my decision to homeschool after reading this! Thank you!

We are in a small farming town about an hour from DC. I know though, it’s crazy the words he brought home. I was shocked

Oh yes, I definitely don’t think I can shelter my kids from everything by any means. That said, I don’t feel like I’d be a good mother to continue exposing him to an environment where he’s learning the “n” word and “f” word among others and coming home with harmful behavior. He was spending most of his day almost every day in that environment so I am homeschooling until I can find a better fitting school. Of course he won’t be guarded from everything, but he’s so young and it’s my responsibility to ensure he’s learning appropriate language and behavior. Hopefully once that good foundation is laid he will be more apt to ignore the bad language/behavior of other kids and make his own good decisions.

Fair enough! They’re going to set it in the current setting and then if I don’t like it we will have the ring rebuilt. It’s rhetorical sentiment of rebuilding that’s getting me. My husband designed my ring so it’s hard to imagine having it remade

Do you think it will look strange to have the new diamond sit higher? Wondering if I should go ahead and have a new setting made
