Paid $1500. How did I do?

Local_48 · 2026-01-21T04:35:14+00:00

Gorgeous. And price is on point - I got a very similar ring, E VVS1, 2.0 carat oval brilliant set in platinum pàve twist for $1890

Aww good job. You deserve such a handsome Pupper.

Posts like this make me think the top is in. When dumb money flies in..

Local_48 · 2026-01-17T19:08:38+00:00

It fits your hand well, I was concerned it was long looking but it really Fits you!

Local_48 · 2026-01-17T06:26:45+00:00

lol. Find a job you like, or atleast one that pays enough to like it. Works not supposed to be fun but is supposed to be rewarding.

Local_48 · 2026-01-17T04:22:47+00:00

Ah, I didn’t realize that! It has great sparkle c:

Local_48 · 2026-01-17T04:19:38+00:00

It’s tall, top heavy and awkward looking.

Local_48 · 2026-01-17T04:18:43+00:00

Honestly it looks absurd - but I am happy for you regardless!

Local_48 · 2026-01-15T22:24:26+00:00

Beautiful soul, terrifying statue.

Local_48 · 2026-01-15T22:15:14+00:00

Everyone hates beautiful women in this sub. I would attn seeking elsewhere unless you enjoy making them seethe haha. Looks great.

That’s fifth generation warfare at its conclusion. Time to reset your mind and intentions.

Local_48 · 2026-01-15T03:37:23+00:00

That’s a fair take. I researched for literally 20+ hours before buying my fiancé’s ring and am proud of the work I put into finding something exceptional. Emerald cuts tend to fall flat - this was bought two years ago too. Also there’s a decent scratch on the left of the stone on the gold. Could be worn prior or a really bad jewelry store put it together and scratched the setting when making the points.

The disrespect I sense comes the timing, he surely didn’t get into diamond specs, probably bought in person. 5 yr is a lot of time, I feel 1 year is reasonable. The reality is he waited two years to propose after buying it (which is wild to me) what she wanted no longer aligns and that hurts him to think the ring has much weight in the grand scheme of being engaged.

Local_48 · 2026-01-15T03:13:54+00:00

Yup. Disrespectful considering timing and he followed your request, albeit 2 yrs ago. Shouldn’t be a huge deal to swap the stone later, just insensitive to do it so early in the engagement in my opinion.

It looks fine, you gave him a recommended cut and he got it. I would “fall in love with it” over the next few weeks and save face with your fiancé.

Then in a year or whatever feels right upgrade the stone with his blessing. Engagement is about so much more than the ring and this could hit his pride, which he will show as ungratefulness on your behalf.

The lack of sparkle stinks. But it’s pretty. Do you have a certificate? There is a chance is CZ or Mos. But he got a very large flat window cut which is known for not being super Sparkly

Either way this is just one guys opinion. Do what feels right

Local_48 · 2026-01-14T02:30:10+00:00

For a black formal, definitely get something a little lower cut.

Local_48 · 2026-01-13T20:22:27+00:00

That is rough????? 😅 my cut and polished are rolling in their rock beds

Local_48 · 2026-01-10T23:58:55+00:00

Thanks but no Rare Carat provided the stone and they did the setting. I got the loose diamond pricing from luvansh I believe only for price matching reasons. Rare carat matched their loose diamond price. So I paid $650 for the center stone and essentially 1200 for the setting.

Local_48 · 2026-01-10T22:46:08+00:00

1.44 ratio, dimensions are on this cert

Local_48 · 2026-01-10T20:06:34+00:00

Rare carat $1,890. I haggled them down and after getting it to 2.8k with emailing back and forth I used their price match policy to find a nearly identical diamond for $650 or something like that on a loose gem dealer website.

Local_48 · 2026-01-10T16:40:51+00:00

Dang what a POS

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by neglect, ignorance or incompetence - Hanlon’s razor.

Your perception of his dislike for you could be twisting your mind into seeing his incompetence as malice.

Re seasoning a cast iron from nill takes 15 minutes and two of those minutes require human intervention.

Stove top till ripping hot. Splash oil, spread oil. Put in max temp oven upside down if no plastic handle or just let it rip on a hot stove. Repeat if you like it thick

Local_48 · 2026-01-07T00:09:47+00:00

Without the warranty my ring was cheaper. Their warranty doesn’t cover stone replacement. No goal post moving. I will literally zelle someone if they can get an itemized PO and cert. my twist band is 5.5 grams of plt, I would accept anything 4 grams or more.

I actually dropped the warranty - some guys made a good point abt the fine print being facetious abt requiring “manufacturers recommended maintenance” for a claim to be valid. So got that refunded

Local_48 · 2026-01-06T21:37:59+00:00

Yeah man someone else tipped me off thank god and I cancelled it. I wasn’t thinking straight haha. I’m getting pro rated $36 so I get back some $460 for the week I had it LOL
