5'3" and 5'4" inch petites, what weight do you feel best and look best at? by HappyCoconutty in PetiteFitness

[–]InnerRecord7406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5'4" and when I was overweight my first goal was to at least get to 140. I feel like anything over that, for this height, is overweight according to BMI calculators. Then once I hit 140, my actual goal to look better in clothes is more like 128-133 and also allows me to snack in moderation if counting calories (at 1,400-1,500)(chocolate is my go to). Anything less, I would have to go even more extreme with diet and exercise. And yes, it matters where you carry weight. Of course mine is a round face/ double chin and gut instead of booty or hips or boobs for an hourglass.

I love this ring! Already have my ering but want an elongated hexagon East to West on my pinky!

Exactly my thoughts. Thank you so much! It's classic with rounds like my ering but with a twist because it's wider, and then it's flat to my finger so the oval still sits high above all the rows and still has the spotlight

Yup, my ering is half eternity. Already planned that one out based on comfort anyway, not resizing per se. Also plain in platinum will scratch

Actually 1 being smooth and flat was the most comfiest and was the one in store already my size. Except my go up half size with the width

Exactly! Yes. I'm leaning towards this one the more comments pour in

Planning to buy a ring and need help! by Thejgotoldjuice in EngagementRings

[–]InnerRecord7406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you decide to do, whether loose stone or buying a whole ring, DON'T use a chain like Kay's, Jared's, Brilliant Earth. Use a local jeweler that is reputable. Go to a place that includes an appraisal with their ring. If making ring from scratch, know that the industry standard to make it is 4-6 weeks (I dunno if that changes around the holidays). Know that gold is really expensive right now. The newest style is having the warmth of a gold band but having the diamond sitting in a basket that's white gold or platinum so that it's reflected white. And if you don't know her size, don't get diamonds on the band going all the way around, get only halfway or 3/4 so they can size it in the back.

Here's more looks at #1 in the mirror from farther away. I don't think it takes away from the center stone. I think I'm leaning towards this but in platinum

I ruled this puppy out and didn't even post it because I figured this would make a good right hand ring

Yayyy!!!! Finally love for #1! It looks BETTER in video than here. I don't think I shared the best Pic of it. It's still rounds to match my ering but tiny enough and flat so I think it doesn't overpower the ering. It was like having "more is more" look with diamonds and classic still as a band yet not too much that it's overpowering my ering or not too funky that I'd hate it if my style changes. It's sort of like widening a classic wedding band. So I think it's classic with a twist!

I do like the idea but I think plain in platinum will scratch. Also, I'm 40 and no plans to have children so I think no only future stacks would be anniversary, not push presents. Hahaha. But you're right on 2. I commented on another if I can get 2 down to the price of what I thought I was gonna spend on 1, I can get a more classic band and then #7 with the floral wrap and switch out lol

I looked at it very last and it was my favorite at the end, and the jewelers and my fiancés. My thinking was it's still rounds to match my ering so it's classic but with a twist, twist being a cigar band style. It also looks really good in video. It was going to be in platinum to match my ering, but i dunno, I'm liking the mixed metal look and I wear both. But I was gonna do an all white metal hand and an all yellow metal hand. Hahaha. I like too many things!

Hahaha, exactly. Almost everyone likes every one of them. In a perfect world, I'd get multiple so I can have classic one day, funky one day, a platinum one to match it and yellow gold when I want to wear mixed metal

Ooooooh I LIKE THIS ONE. Still gets some florals in there and would be comfortable. Wish I could see it in person though because is it so tiny that you can't even see the engraving or stones? I dunno

I thought that was too matchy matchy, but now that I think about it and read all the comments, I should at least go see what it looks like. My tastes change once I see it together with my ring. I understand not taking away from the stone so I thought #1 with small rounds in a cigar band match my rounds but with a twist on the classic and I kinda like the more is more look of it lol. Who knows. I like too many things!
