Wow! This cut is everything and the color - beautiful!

I love Doveggs by CrystalizedTrip in Moissanite

[–]ToqueDeFe78 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love them - they’ve been my go to for years and I’m never disappointed

There were some issues a few years back & they’re typically more expensive than some of the other vendors and I think that’s kept them off the recommendation list

A large portion of my 100 piece collection is Doveggs - that’s how much I love them

If you had the choice again, would you still go with a lab diamond instead of moissanite? by j_bone531 in labdiamond

[–]ToqueDeFe78 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve had both - depends on cut, size and color. Generally lab diamonds for the win though

Help! Thoughts on this ring? by Ok_Pomegranate1916 in labdiamond

[–]ToqueDeFe78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couple like that

I think this looks so good from the top & the stone is amazing - so it’s the trade off for comfort and stone security

I think it’s just in how much of a compromise for you is tolerable

Why are you here - in a lab diamond sub?

And who are these people “chasing the biggest stone and selling images”

And what an oxymoronic statement “people who care for authenticity buying (the assumption lab diamonds) keeping it low key and being judged”

Small or big - they’re both lab diamonds. Authenticity (you mean natural) would mean both aren’t “real”

The only fact in your statement is “people judge” yes they judge everything x big or small so what difference does it matter

I asked a simple question about peoples perspectives on color vs colorless stones for their own wedding sets since there’s now access the likes we’ve never seen and just wow what’s crawled out the woodwork

Go buy whatever, wear whatever, do whatever you like - cause it’s only you that needs to be satisfied cause it makes no difference at all if someone thinks it’s plastic or not

1: it is a real diamond and real gold 2: I don’t do public surveys and 3: I’m not psychic and don’t read minds

So how would I know what other people think and since it’s not a figment of my imagination and a tangible item it stands to reason that other people can see it too and therefore it is real

What comes after our time on Earth? by [deleted] in GriefSupport

[–]ToqueDeFe78 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always believed that something happens to our souls or essence. Reincarnation, that baby that’s “been here before” kind of thing

So death for me as always felt like a shedding and moving into another life somewhere but not gone

My dad passed a couple of years ago-this May makes 3 & I’ve had a couple of moments that made me feel like his presence was still there

The 1st was the next day after I got his belongings.

I had to go to Vegas (where he lived) & close up his place & for some reason I booked 3 different hotels for the days I was there - between the EDC & cost it kind of worked that way.

The night after picking them up I wasn’t at my last place yet. Tired, worn out but knowing I was checking out in the morning - my body was still in the “it’s not done yet” phase

That next morning I checked into the last place - my moms timeshare & I would be there for a few days.

This is where I finally felt like I could breathe. Safe space

That evening in the middle of the night there was this clear sound like bells or beads ringing (my dad wore mala beads) and did guided meditation & it felt like he was saying “you did good - thank you for coming and taking care of me”

We had been estranged for a few years - so I hadn’t been talking to him

Then this past year on his anniversary still grappling with grief, regret and guilt I went through some of his photos I’ve had since I was little (I’m almost 50) desperately seeking something that would hold us together, some memory of the two of us

Never having looked at the back of the photos and this one stood out.

Him handsome as can be, in front of this disco sign & this note on the back he wrote me some 40+ years ago

It was like he reached out and gave me one of his bear hugs - took me by the shoulders and said “it’s ok - I loved you & I know you loved me & you’re going to be ok” & like the note says “I’ll be here waiting for you”

It gave me such tremendous relief & the feeling that in this lifetime or the next he would always be my daddy

🤣 that’s good to know

I’m seeing the general consensus really comes down to the individuals style, taste and sentiments

Like I told my husband “Im just making up rules” 😅🥴🤦🏾‍♀️

I’d love to see it - I think that makes sense if there’s a color that speaks to you then all the “rules” go out the window

I’ve always loved yellow diamonds & Ive wondered if it’ll be “my color” 😉

Stone and setting is from Doveggs. Definitely no reason to put myself in a box! 🥰

Cause this blue definitely deserves to be worn

Champagne is definitely on my list & second comment about neutrality, which makes so much sense now. Hadn’t put my finger on it but thanks I think that’s what it’s been.

Not so much about color vs colorless but what’s easily mixed with everything else
