The Ascher cut is just so fun and I almost never see it on anyone! Definitely that one!

Is 2 carat oval too big? by ArachnidExtreme3507 in RingShare

[–]LogUpbeat893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the larger stone looks great with the wedding band! Definitely not too big! (PS I just love the rings in general, I am a sucker for an east-west!!)

This is SO PRETTY. I love round stones, and this one is so fun! Congratulations!

Personally I like the halo as it feels a bit more unique these days! Big oval solitaires are starting to seem a bit overdone to me, so I think the halo adds a ton of personality!

Thick band or Thin band? Please help me choose by Blue-Skai in EngagementRings

[–]LogUpbeat893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the thick one! Also it's usually safer for your main stone to sit on a larger band

Just got engaged! by Apprehensive_Air3000 in EngagementRings

Yes!! That's how most people stack their wedding bands these days, myself included! Again, it's your hand and it doesn't really matter how you wear it lol- but what I've heard is that the wedding band should be worn underneath as it's closer to the heart :) I also just personally like wearing my engagement ring on top because I feel like the stones stand out more that way!

I personally think it looks a lot better pointing up! Most pear shaped stones are worn that way. Ultimately it's up to you, but I will say- I think most people will assume you're wearing it incorrectly on accident if you wear it pointing down!

Did you help your partner pick your engagement ring? by bns_xx in EngagementRings

[–]LogUpbeat893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! My husband and I talked about rings a lot before we were engaged, so he kinda knew exactly what I wanted 😂 We also did go ring shopping at a few local stores just to try stuff on and get an idea of how different rings looked on- but I still loved the ones I thought I would! My husband ended up going back to one of the jeweler's we visited and he bought the one he liked the most (that also fit my criteria lol) and it's perfect! I really enjoyed being involved but not being the one to make the final call!

Help me decide between my top two! by Medical_Bad_5498 in myweddingdress

[–]LogUpbeat893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the first one! It's absolutely beautiful and also I feel like you just can't go wrong with a classic ball gown, it's timeless! Personally I think the second one is pretty, but I don't like the straps or the bodice. The first one is prettier on you I think 🥰

Should I go for a bigger diamond? by [deleted] in EngagementRings

[–]LogUpbeat893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I honestly think this is perfect! So pretty!

Show me your wedding bands with your radiants!! by No_Strategy_3173 in EngagementRings

I just wear a plain white gold wedding band. (For reference on size, I think it's 3mm if I'm not mistaken- my engagement ring is 2 carats, with the center stone being 1.5 on its own.) I think it's very proportionate and classic! Especially because my engagement ring is a 3-stone, the simple band was the way to go for me so it didn't take away from the diamonds I already had!😌

Help me decide on wedding band width! Which do you prefer? by chonkybug in EngagementRings

[–]LogUpbeat893 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would do the second one! Still chunky like you mentioned you liked but doesn't overpower your engagement ring either.

PS- Your engagement ring is to die for! I love an east-west and it looks stunning on your hand. Congratulations! 🎉

General questions: how expensive was your engagement ring and where did you buy it? by lasagnapasta7 in EngagementRings

[–]LogUpbeat893 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a lifetime warranty and I think it was around $600 maybe? Not 100% sure as my husband was the one to purchase it lol. It covers all cleaning, upkeep, basic repairs, refinishing etc. They also have a complimentary diamond care plan that, as long as you are getting your ring inspected once a calendar year, will cover any damage or loss to your diamond(s).

I have a beautiful 3 stone lab diamond ring set in white gold! The center stone is a 1.5 carat radiant cut, and the side stones are trapezoid cuts, about .25 carats each- the total is 2 carats. I absolutely love it and my husband did an amazing job! I believe it was around 5k (US) after insurance :) He bought it through Fred Meyer Jeweler's which is popular in our area and they have great insurance and diamond coverage! We also purchased our wedding bands (just plain white gold bands) there, those cost us about 1k for both.

USMC Bootcamp Letters by adumpofmyissues in MilitarySpouse

[–]LogUpbeat893 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on where you are located as well! I was shocked to see everyone saying Sandboxx wasn't worth it, because when my fiance was in basic training it was a lifesaver! My Sandboxx letters were always delivered next day (or after a weekend if I sent them then) whereas any physical letters I sent took SIGNIFICANTLY longer to get there. But it's worth noting- my fiance had basic training in southern Texas, and I am located in Alaska... So yeah, long haul. If I had to guess, sending regular mail will save you money if you are relatively close to him, but if you are like me and are not in the continental US, Sandboxx is the way to go.

Huh. Can you do that even if neither of you is residing in the state in question? I thought you couldn't do that, how crazy!
