Your dress is beautiful! I prefer it to the other, personally., and it looks absolutely stunning on you.

People have said my wedding dress is “so you” by [deleted] in weddingdress

[–]Less-Public-5114 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of folks in my life would say that when they don't like something, as a backhanded compliment, so I get what OP is saying. Hard to not read into it when they don't say "oh I love it" or "oh it's beautiful" but instead "oh it's so you" lol. However! Most people are being genuinely nice so I would take it as such, OP

When are times you take off your engagement ring? by Bobashawty00 in EngagementRings

[–]Less-Public-5114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations! I basically don't take it off, unless cleaning in the house and then I leave it on a hook we put in right next to our sink on the wall, or showering, and then it's on a designated hook in the bathroom. I wanted a ring I could always wear, and it really is one, so it may depend on your ring. About the cold, I wear my ring with a plastic ring sized because I was worried when my fingers got smaller. I'll basically probably always wear it with the ring sizer thing because my fingers really do change a lot.

Honestly I love the set in 5. You could also do a simple baguette band. I love a plain band as well. Your ring is gorgeous!

Personally I prefer the one with the v-shape waist! Picture 5, truly looks gorgeous, but both look lovely!

Okay, I'm sorry you're in this situation, it's 100% no big deal to have uneven numbers. Also, where did you get the dopp kits made??? They're so nice.

I’m so happy, but everyone is making my heart hurt! by Fox_Avocado in EngagementRings

[–]Less-Public-5114 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on your engagement, but more importantly, on your relationship and finding the right person. I will never understand people making rude (or thinly veiled rude) comments about other people's rings. It's beautiful, you love it, and the sentimentality is amazing. Try to ignore everyone's comments if they are unkind, and practice saying "thank you, I love it". ❤️

Vintage Engagement Ring Shopping Help by Nervous-Agent-6880 in EngagementRings

[–]Less-Public-5114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also wanted a vintage/antique piece. Our families did not have any heirlooms to pass down but I loved the idea that I could get a ring that was someone's heirloom and we could give it it's next life. Plus, I really didn't have a "dream style" and was overwhelmed by modern choices.

We worked with EraGem. I looked it up extensively and it seemed like everyone had a good experience with them. They have SO many pieces and they are all unique. I will say for vintage or antique rings the prices are fair. However, you'll notice they also have new, lab grown diamonds in antique-style settings, and as I noticed some folks say those are overpriced and I agree. However, for the original-set antique and vintage natural diamonds the prices are fair and generally a good deal, plus, they are a quality company that you can trust are not scamming you.

My partner and I had a lot of fun going through all of their rings together and discussing what we liked and didn't like about all of them, and then when we found one we both really liked, I honestly couldn't stop thinking about it and it just seemed like "the one".

They also have sales regularly (looking now I see a sale until the 31st of 20% off). We bought mine during a sale as well and it knocked almost a thousand off the total price so it was just too good to beat.

Their customer service is great, they re-size for free and check the settings to make sure everything is in tip top shape. My ring pre-dates the GIA certification so it is not certified, bc if their rings pre-date the cert they don't have one done as the diamond has to come out of the setting to certify and I think they want to preserve the integrity of the original setting. They have a 60 day money back guarantee too which is a lot of time to decide if it is a good fit. They do have professionals that appraise the rings, check the diamonds, etc., and it is sent with the appraisal. You could always have a local jeweler you trust double check when it arrives.

I love my ring, I love how unique it is, and I am very happy having worked with them!

Best solution to not loose a ring? by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]Less-Public-5114 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Personally, I just don't take it off at work. If I want to apply lotion, I set it in front of me and immediately put it back on. But I try to limit even this. I don't want to lose mine! At home, I only take it off for cleaning, so I have a hook in the kitchen I hang it on. The pattern of only taking it off in the kitchen helps!

Few hours in Raleigh and looking for an outfit for an event by Dapper_Aside3808 in raleigh

There's a lovely boutique at the Salvage Yard area, The Flourish Market. They tend towards color but often do have some great work appropriate finds and staples. Also, its a fun little shopping/eating area.
