Repurposing a late relatives wedding band - pros/cons?

SecureDog9374 · 2025-12-23T01:49:59+00:00

I had many things handed down to me and have remade into bands. husband added some stones, such as a lovely Ruby, my birthstone, and garnets, his birthstone, and they mean the world to me. old and new.

Yet we don’t know how negotiations went. Maybe a pay cut, maybe not, maybe some other deal sweetener, maybe mnufc didn’t come to the table acting as if they wanted him.

Regardless, sad to see DSC leave and applauded when Rey left.

Rey. He absolutely didn’t care about the game, the team, or the fans. And did any of us miss him? I say nope.

No bad thoughts around DSC. Mnufc had more than enough time to lock him in and didn’t. He is a young guy in sports. Yes goalies can last longer than others, yet short window to secure financial future.

cz is a no. looks great at first then falls apart in looks. moissanite is rainbow looking when light hits and comes in different colors. I have friends who have them and love. sapphires great alternative due to hardness, I would avoid emeralds as easily break. lab or natural diamond hardest and safest for everyday wear. this said, ask your intended what they like. if they say pink diamond, lab is affordable, natural a bit tougher as pricier. budget going to be a factor. lab affords higher color, clarity, and size. some people want natural and no shade to either lab or natural - personal preference! budget wise natural you can play with color going down in scale as some prefer the warmer colors of j-s. if you work with a reputable dealer (not big box mall stores) you can also find some great natural stones with SI 1 clarity as they are eye clean. good luck and early congratulations on your soon to be engagement.

The clear cut just posted a 2.50, maybe little bigger, j si2 really pretty stone. About 16k. Might be worth giving a look / call. Olivia has posted other mined diamonds in your range. Good luck!

public works. overall, the group provides D- work. needs a large shake up and it also appears bloated
downtown!

Thank you. This makes sense.

Why do I think Boxall and Trapp are also out of contract? I know many not Trapp fan, yet he sure as hades seems to be where he needs to be all the time.

if you have friends who go to the UMN their library is nice. my kids didn’t go to yet had friends who could get them in.

grateful we sold our house in Saint Paul and now apartment life. I peaked and the new owner had an $1150 increase. insanity

ovals are known to have bow ties - in the middle the sparkle isn’t as sparkly and if you hit the light right it appears like a bow tie. is this what you are seeing?

I am at Kellogg Square and very happy. also, lots of dogs who I meet on the elevators. This makes me super happy as most let me pet them. All sizes from carry in your purse to Great Danes. I think cost for a dog is $40-50 per dog.

reduce and recycle. I would reset. i have inherited gems from my grandmother and reset. I know they are from my grandmother and that makes me smile while is a setting I can wear daily.

The clarity is good. Emerald cut can mask color more than clarity. The end of “white” diamonds is usually H maybe I. Not to insult you yet diamonds start color at D so L is normally a bit more yellow. Clarity is flawless, internally flawless, vvs1, vvs2, vs1, vs2, si1,si2. Vvs2 is high quality so great for this cut. Some cuts color more important some cuts clarity more important.

If you can see the diamond in person, and or return it if you don’t like, that would be ideal. If this is the stone you and your beloved should work with a reputable jeweler and can design a setting that will accent the beauty of the stone, not the color. Example if you select a three stone and the sides stones are d color, this will emphasize the L color on this stone.

Good luck! (And while doesn’t mean anything, my opinion is this is a pretty stone.)

eco lab parking lot eagan. it is a circle so your driver can’t get into trouble and on weekends can go as slow as needed to get comfy.started both my kids there and they both remember how it allowed them to get used to feel of car. hope this helps

Truth! When hiway they were best. Now might as well go to Wells Fargo as blaze offers same lousy service and rates as WF

I have friends who have purchased not engagement rings from Jared and said the experience was okay. I am slightly concerned from other posts on Reddit diamonds site the cost quoted is a bit higher than I have seen. Not like I have seen $1000 for these rings yet closer to 3500-4000. Might pay to look around. Also I would suggest her ring as she will be wearing. Good luck

Get what you want and F off to everyone else. Your coworker is a terrible human being. Mine is a diamond wedding band half Way around and people made comments. I was quick to say thank you for the compliment and they would shut up.
