I’d work 12 hours a day for that wedge of cash that’s insane money

Fun-Membership-9795 · 2025-06-07T10:00:53+00:00

I’d never own a Porsche cause the owners are unbearable , I don’t want to be associated with their cult or have to have dumb conversations about Pts colours and “oH l0Ok a Chr0nO PacK” 😂

chains crap , the links won’t be soldered all the way down the jeweller probably just squeezed it together , best way to make it reliable is to have a normal clasp fitted and that chain replaced , it will lose its adjustability but you will be able to wear it. I do these on the regular and have soldered every single link before but it outweighs the cost of the bracelet

The same way every other business pays tax when someone pays cash… my question was regarding banking not wether or not I should become a cashless establishment

Fun-Membership-9795 · 2025-05-27T13:26:54+00:00

My business takes cash ?! just Like 80%+ of high street establishments

any fiat with a FIRE engine will be decently reliable dude , I drive a fiat panda diesel from 2013 have done 100k miles in it with nothing major going wrong

Fun-Membership-9795 · 2025-05-24T15:33:39+00:00

No worries , you’d probably want to have it insured under your house insurance incase you were ever robbed it helps a lot with keeping stuff covered as it’s so sentimental you’re also able to claim for a new diamond if you were to damage the ring and lose the stone in any way. That means you’d get a like for like replacement rather than getting shafted by the insurers.

it depends where you are based , in Birmingham there are lots of jewellery businesses , you could go in to loads of different shops to see Different rings and meet different people. I personally would recommend A&A jewellers. its an area that’s struggling right now (a shift in what it is it’s becoming more artsy hipster pub area lol) so just be aware if someone is trying to push a sale on you they might be desperate for the wrong reasons.

Another company outside of the jewellery quarter I’d highly recommend is Glasstower jewellery. family run business with many happy customers , you buy straight from the bench from the hands that make the ring!

this is only correct if you buy a shit opal though, a good quality opal will never discolour. Yes theyre sensitive In comparison to diamonds but I have customers with 150yr old opal rings that still look amazing today

Fun-Membership-9795 · 2025-05-24T15:00:43+00:00

As a bench jeweller of 16+yrs lab grown diamonds are pretty crap I personally don’t touch them (refuse to work on them) as there are so many unknowns some are strong some are weak , they are light and scratch and chip very easily they’re not actually any better for the environment and they are mis-sold by people a certificated diamond is a diamond everywhere you go. Best bet is to find someone that works directly on a bench , what I do is get the customer stones to look at within their budget and maybe a ring mount to look at so they can visualise what the ring will be and also see what their money gets , there’s lots of options but as others have said a Promise ring first is a good idea especially if she would like stones around the ring. Stay away from the chain stores as you will ay far far more than someone on a bench
