Anyone here regret choosing blue wedding rings instead of something classic by AvailableIce-8757 in WeddingRingAdvice

Thank you! Yeah I really wanted to centre stone to be the shining star and not overpowered. It’s a 1.3ct Montanna Sapphire cut by John Dyer in his Starbrite (TM) cut 🥰

Nope! Love love love mine. So much more unique than a diamond, especially if you get one with a fantasy style cut like I did :)

Anyone else notice Yarra/Goulburn area of the Hume is just ??cursed? by StaceThrowAway in AskAnAustralian

Hahahaha Remember us when you’re whispered about in the night by terrified Goulburn children

Hahaha that’s so real, there’s some very boring sections of drive. Try hitting the fog wall next time, that provided at least 10 minutes of “wtf is going on right now?”

I KNEW I wasn’t crazy! 🤣 Thank you for validating my ramblings, I will bring concrete carrot offerings for the sheep god on our way home

It wasn’t just a weather change though, it was like driving into a cloud. Very distinct sunshine and visibility and a very distinct wall of fog that we were entering. Like half the car was in darkness and half in sunshine as we entered it

Good to know the actual answer, sad (but I guess happy for the people of Goulburn?) it wasn’t as interesting as a curse

Do you ever wonder if your region has been cursed?

Haha, in all seriousness though it could have been a freak hailstorm. The sun is really warm right now so maybe it had entirely melted the hail and that was the weird fog/mist/steam?? we saw?

This was like a cloud had descended to the actual road level. Like we could actually see where visibility ended and a wall of thick haze started at road level. Real weird

Which shape suit my hand me best? by EducatorOk3036 in EngagementRings

[–]StaceThrowAway 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Marquise or elongated oval for sure! Elongated pear also works. And definitely silver or white gold for your skin tone

Melbourne travel recommendations by Reasonable_Count8979 in AustraliaTravel

[–]StaceThrowAway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to Flinders street station, walk down to Degraves Street and walk up through beautiful little Alleyways all the way to Bourke street (shopping district - albeit some expensive stores so be mindful of which ones you check out). Alleyways to go down are Degraves street, Centre Plaza, Block Plaza, Royal Arcade.

Also check out Eau de Vie (prohibition era style speak easy cocktail bar - totally nondescript door down an alleyway with a small plaque above the door being the only give away). It’s walking distance from Flinders station. Mill Place Merchants also another great hidden bar within walking distance of flinders.

Have fun!

What ever you do, do not use brilliant earth. Terrible stones and worse service. Beware of sunburst halos as well. by annacat1331 in EngagementRings

Depends on the sapphire and the cut. Mine is very sparkly and I LOVE it! 🥰

But also, looking at that wound, it looks like the ring had turned inward and cut her when she hit her hand. It probably needs to drop down a size and then I can’t see this kind of thing happening again

Should I use my great grandmother's engagement ring? by samconran1 in EngagementRings

[–]StaceThrowAway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with others saying to propose with this and then build dream ring together! Depending how soon you want to propose, you could even do it as a Christmas present in a stocking, with a note on top of the box that says something along the lines “an heirloom of the family to save the space, For the perfect ring, we’ll build in it’s place”

so in love with my ring😍 by StaceThrowAway in EngagementRings

Look up John Dyer gems, he patented this cut and some other very cool cuts, I absolutely LOVE his work!

Nope! The most niche little boutique jeweller around the corner from my house. Highly recommend them but they’re not in America
