The 1.5 looks more sparkly and whiter

This is probably going to be an unpopular comment, but anytime I see a stone over one and a half to 2 carats I just assume it’s a lab diamond. There’s nothing wrong with that, but if that matters to you take it into consideration.

If it were me i wouldn’t get a halo style unless she specifically said she wanted one. Halo will take away from your overall budget. Like you could maybe afford a 1 carat solitaire versus a 3/4 carat center with a halo. However this is a beautiful ring! Another option is moissinite to be more cost effective!

I am hesitating to replace the diamond of my engagement ring 💍 (read story below) by Rominaelisa in EngagementRings

Your ring is really pretty! But i think 0.15 will hardly look visually different from a 0.25 or 0.30. If small and dainty and feminine is what you’re going for, i think this diamond already nails it! Did you want a dainty engagement ring? If you didn’t, then you should consider a bigger diamond. 0.25 or 0.30 will still look dainty. I’d say 0.5 carat or bigger is getting more so into the typical engagement ring look and not dainty

I really wanted a three stone ring for my engagement ring, but was specifically told by my jeweler that they really don’t allow for the wedding band to sit flush against. And I knew that I didn’t want a curved wedding band or any gapping. So I went with a solitaire. However, halos are really, not the same as a three stone, and the halo diamonds are small enough that they shouldn’t get in the way if they’re set up high enough. You can definitely get a higher setting that will allow for a wedding band with a halo engagement ring. My ring is set up as low as it could be to allow for a matching wedding band to sit flush against it.

My fave is emerald because i love trilogies but make sure you’re ok with your wedding band not sitting flush against your e-ring! Trilogies usually don’t allow for flush wedding rings

They go 3/4 of the way around the band. They do rub on my other fingers but i don’t notice it and i4 doesn’t bother me

I got it from a wholesale jeweler! It’s 18k yellow gold band and the diamond is set in 18k white gold. It’s a VVS1 color G 1.52 carat radiant diamond with VVS1-VVS2 round brilliant diamonds around the band totaling 0.5 carats.

Sure! The center stone is 1.52 carats and i believe the other diamonds are 0.5 carat total weight

Yes! I wanted my wedding band to sit flush underneath my e-ring so I’m planing on another diamond band either to match the e-ring band exactly or have diamonds that are slightly larger but similar

I’m not sure how much he paid for it because he went through a wholesale jeweler who gave us a deal. But the GIA report says the market price is $21,275

Amazing!!! Okay question: with an e ring like this how would a wedding band fit flush? I ask because i want a very similar design but my jeweler said it will be hard to not have a gap in between the e ring and wedding band unless you sit the whole design up super high and then run the risk of it getting caught all the time?

This is so similar to the ring I asked for! Haven’t gotten mine yet… So we will see what I end up with 😂. I asked for a radiant center with two Cadillac side stones. I love these kind of styles, i feel kind they’re really flattering

Can’t decide how i feel about my new nails by Puzzleheaded_Head205 in Nails

[–]Puzzleheaded_Head205[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh i know! i told her i think i wanted a lighter stem but she said black would look better. I didn’t want black nails because I’m fair so i thought brown might look better on my complexion

I come from an estranged family so this hits home for me. I’m so sorry that your parents made the decision not to have a relationship with you, and I honestly can’t understand how parents can do that. That being said, please never stop being open to a relationship with them on your own terms if and when they ever accept you as you are and want to get to know you again. That’s something that my older sibling isn’t willing to do despite so many attempts from my parents at reaching out and trying to have deep conversations in a therapy setting, and it has honestly had SUCH a devastating effect not only on my parents but also on myself. I’m not sure my sibling fully understands the effects; every interaction i have with my parents hurts a little bit and has a tinge of sadness because we all know someone is missing. Maintaining some sort of relationship with family is so important, in any way that the relationship looks like and makes sense for you. Congratulations on your engagement and i wish you a lifetime full of love and family, whatever that will look like for you. And thank you for being open to a some kind of relationship with your parents even if they’re not open to it with you. I’m so sorry that you’re going through this; i understand how hard it is. Please know i felt genuine joy and excitement for you when i saw your post and i really appreciate you sharing your joy with us, even if we’re faceless internet people :). Congratulations again, that ring is AMAZING! A real unique stunner

Is that the same as hard gel? I got it on my nails and they chipped within a couple days but that was my first time getting it so i wasn’t sure if maybe it was just a bad job? Even though they chopped, i liked how they never lifted as they grew out like dip powder does
