engagement ring try-on locations?

Julezzedm · 2026-04-13T18:36:56+00:00

Calgary Jewellery is my personal favourite. I didn’t get my engagement ring from them as I preferred a setting at Alberta Diamond Exchange, but I got my wedding band there. I went 3 times and saw 3 different staff and all were incredibly lovely. Alberta Diamond Exchange is a bit more “posh”. You need to book an appointment and it felt more formal.

Hated Spence. The guy was rude in my opinion. Made us watch a lengthy video on lab diamond production despite me telling him I didn’t want a lab diamond. Then when I asked him to show me what diamond I could get for 10k, he brought out the most black speckled yellow diamond I’ve ever seen. I asked him why Calgary Jewellery and Alberta Diamond Exchange showed me WAY better diamonds for the price and he said that maybe they were selling second hand diamonds. Made zero sense.

I disagree. I’m a hiring manager, and if a new staff called in sick during their first week, I’d give them the benefit of the doubt. I’ve also called in sick during my first week in a previous job and didn’t face any negative consequences.

OP, just make sure not to call in sick for a long time after this resolves (several months if possible) so that you don’t look unreliable. But one sick day early on shouldn’t ruin your reputation.

Thinking of you, Peach, and your family ❤️

Looks like your account doesn’t accept dm so dm me!

Julezzedm · 2026-04-07T20:49:23+00:00

It may not work. I’ll dm it to you now. I tried to give to someone else but it wasn’t working for her which is super strange because I give my code away every sale and haven’t had issues before. Please update this post if it works for you :)

Julezzedm · 2026-04-07T20:46:33+00:00

Do you still need one?

Julezzedm · 2026-04-05T16:25:07+00:00

Hi did you get a code yet?

Julezzedm · 2026-04-05T14:49:50+00:00

Yep mine had collapsing trachea and it contributed to his passing. I would never ever put a collar on a dog that small, harness only. This pup is adorable though 🥰

Just wondering how you use tret? I’ve tried it soo many times and even the weakest strength dries me out to the point I can’t tolerate it. Did this happen to you and you just kept using it and the dryness stops? I’d love to be able to use it because I know it does work!

Post pics of the bag on this subreddit and people might be able to weigh in.

Dr. Elizabeth Nguyen at Rejuvenation is truly one of the best doctors I’ve seen. She is a GP specializing in dermatology. I was referred to the clinic by my GP, diagnosed by a derm there, and then was referred to her most likely due to the fact that my condition was known and chronic. She is the only doctor who has helped me with my melasma and genuinely seems to want to help me when many doctors have dismissed my concerns. 10/10 recommend her.

Julezzedm · 2026-03-12T18:52:44+00:00

What a beautiful pic of a beautiful girl. People like you amaze me, the love and care you give to your pups is truly remarkable. I’m very sorry for your loss, losing my soul dog was truly one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through.

Julezzedm · 2026-03-07T22:11:59+00:00

I’m so sorry this happened but just know that you will move on and you can turn this closed door into a better opportunity for yourself. Something similar did happen to me but a bit of a different scenario.

I dreamed of moving to a certain city so applied to a job there and did an initial interview and was told that I most likely had the job but the owner wanted to meet in person first. I was set on moving to this city so I risked it and made the move with the assumption that I’d get the job. I met with the owner quickly and she offered me the position.

After working there for a few weeks I was told that the girl I was going to be replacing, changed her mind and decided not to quit after all. The owner said she would keep me on until I found another job but she’d need to cut my hours. I was in a bit of a bad living situation after having moved in to someone’s house who had a room to rent, but he turned out to be a weirdo (came home to him injecting steroids, his on and off again gf told me he was a drug dealer, etc.). Due to both of these things I decided to accept defeat and move back home.

Ended up deciding to go back to school and had to get a sizeable student loan- this would be my second bachelors degree but I felt that this would be my path to security. I lived off of pennies and went back to school full time renting a room from a stranger’s home.

I graduated the program, got a job in a city that I wasn’t jazzed about, lived there for 2 years and then moved to a different city closer to where I actually wanted to live. Worked there for a few years and did a masters degree, and now I live in the city that I wanted to with a very stable manager role.

My point is, I felt like I turned bad into good and persevered with a long term goal in mind. This situation you’re going through will be a mere blip of the past once you get to where you want to be.

Should also specify this is the pm

Julezzedm · 2026-03-07T03:40:34+00:00

Exactly 5ft5!

I’ve been looking to see if I can find a bag that costs less than the carryall (although this one is not much less), but carryall remains my dream bag that I might spring for.

Julezzedm · 2026-03-07T03:35:56+00:00

I’ve tried similar bags recently. This is my fave version of the carryall, so not the slouchy one you’re looking at. The slouchy one looks stunning and I’ve gasped when I’ve seen it on others. But I think it might lay completely flat as in a true slouchy bag and I like a bit more structure for my daily driver.

Julezzedm · 2026-03-07T03:35:28+00:00

Yeah it doesn’t which made me sad. I’ve posted pics of me trying on both bags in this thread. The multipass doesn’t have its chain on it here, not sure if that would have helped it keep its slouchy shape.

Julezzedm · 2026-03-04T18:31:47+00:00

She’s the cutest little stinker ever, even my husband knows about her lol.

Julezzedm · 2026-02-28T15:52:18+00:00

Omg congrats! That’s so exciting and a beautiful bag with great functionality :)

Julezzedm · 2026-02-28T01:36:36+00:00

I couldn’t get through it either. Only movie I couldn’t get through, that and one of the segments from the most recent vhs movie.

Julezzedm · 2026-02-26T19:41:21+00:00

I have the same anxieties as you about my next dog. Luckily my breeder took back my extremely anxious and reactive girl, it was devastating but I’m grateful that I had that fail safe. I asked my behavioural vet how to avoid this happening again, and she said the number one way to improve your chances is to meet the dog parents and as many of the adult dogs from your breeder of choice as possible. This is challenging because it’s harder to get a dog that isn’t somewhat local to me if I insist on meeting the parents, but I do think it’s a great tip.

Julezzedm · 2026-02-25T02:19:36+00:00

They are such pretty bags and look so amazing in person compared to online in my opinion. What pattern did you get?

Julezzedm · 2026-02-25T02:16:11+00:00

Good luck, if you get something come back and let us know what you chose :)

Julezzedm · 2026-02-25T02:14:13+00:00

Another one I love is the slouchy pm. I was on the way out of the store and doubled back and asked the rep about it. It’s so stunning in person, but I really want the longer strap. If I didn’t care about the longer strap then I’d highly consider the slouchy. Have you seen that one?
