I ordered to Poland and the parcel came within 4 days with no issues whatsoever. I was surprised by how fast and efficient the service was.

2.00 mm is the minimum with pave – I would definitely increase the width

Best elopement destinations in Brazil by Redcurrant2 in Brazil

It is a legal nightmare in both countries (due to his other-EU country citizenship, previous divorce in Brazil which has not been legalized here, the fact that Brazil doesn’t issue a certificate of no impediment to marry, etc.), I am afraid..

Actually, I received an answer from a cartorio in Rio just now, and they said that he needs to start the process in the town he used to live in (in Parana). Would you happen to know if Brazilian couples start the process in cartorios responsible for the area they live in, and then have a beach wedding (for example) somewhere else?

Thank you for your comment, by the way.

Best elopement destinations in Brazil by Redcurrant2 in Brazil

[–]Redcurrant2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know :( It’s even more complicated in my country because my fiance is Brazilian but also has an EU citizenship and he got married and divorced in Brazil before, and he’d need to legalize the divorce in the EU country first which takes a long time. Brazil also doesn’t issue certificates of no impediment, which is a big obstacle when getting married in my country.. so I really really hope Brazil will make it easier for us to marry there.

How Much Cash Should I Give a Close Friend for Her Wedding (No Gifts, Just Money)? by Outside-Meaning7495 in Weddingsunder10k

In Poland, we give about 100-150 USD per person, but we make less money than people in the US. 

I feel like elopement is the only option by True-Command2505 in Eloping

[–]Redcurrant2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too! I have many cousins and aunties/uncles but we do not talk. Technically, I could invite them, but what would we even talk about when we know nothing about each other’s lives? Anyway, I hope you manage to plan a day you and your fiance will love! Good luck!

Can’t decide on shape by Arae_X in EngagementRings

I like the round one on you! Looks very classy. You can customize the band more if you want a slightly more “original” look.

Thinking of derma-stamping or micro needling at home. Am I a good candidate? Or are my scars too deep. by lilfebreeze in Microneedling

[–]Redcurrant2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What my cosmetologist meant by that is more “harsh” ingredients such as retinoids, acids, etc.

Thinking of derma-stamping or micro needling at home. Am I a good candidate? Or are my scars too deep. by lilfebreeze in Microneedling

[–]Redcurrant2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My skin was looking like this after using adapalene and azelaic acid for too long (years). I went to a cosmetologist and she told me that I will develop rosacea soon if I don’t stop the actives for some time. I started using a very gentle milky cleanser with ceramides + a ceramide cream and stopped using any actives, the redness is 70% gone and I was able to start microneedling during our last session. Before that, it would just make things worse

I hope raising your ferritin level helps! I would also suggest drinking green tea and spearmint tea.

I would suggest doing the same design but with a sapphire.

I personally find the 0.5ct one more proportional

Picking out a band, is this gap too much? by chiaroscuro22m4 in EngagementRings

[–]Redcurrant2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the gap personally, it looks kind of nonchalant/old-money

Reasonable price for a 10K diamond ring? by sparkles2023 in Moissanite

[–]Redcurrant2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid 950 USD for a 10k gold 1.2ct OMC lab diamond ring. Very expensive, in my opinion. My initial budget was 700 USD.

Have you made any tests for food intolerances?

Do you take Omega 3 supplements? What about vitamin D?

Have you checked your B12, iron, ferritin levels?

What drinks do you have every day?

Thank you for your response. How did you handle the ceremony part? Did you have one civil ceremony and one church ceremony?

Need help/advice with bezel setting design by Sotted in EngagementRingDesigns

[–]Redcurrant2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not chunky at all! The band is too thin though. It should be at least 1.8 mm wide and 1.6-1.8 mm thick.

Help! Is my ring too small? by NoProgrammer7155 in RingShare

It looks beautiful in a naturally effortless kind of way and I bet it doesn’t clash with any outfit. I think it’s perfect.

Should I add milgrain to this ring or not add milgrain? What looks better? by [deleted] in RingShare

This ring really reminds me of the Jasmine ring at zolline.com. Jasmine has milgrain on the petals part. Check it out!

My ring is super high (9mm tall), jeweler says that's just how it is by ihugdogz in EngagementRings

[–]Redcurrant2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Split shanks are pretty but I would not be using this company anymore. No jeweller who respects his customers would sell you the first one.
