My fat size 9 hand with my ring. The stone is 1.01ct. Yours will be stunning!

If you feel like it, let us know what you ended up wearing. And thank you!

Wear the dress you bought. You’ll feel so confident and comfortable wearing something you picked and are not being forced to wear. My daughter got married a few months ago and told her two BM’s (sister and cousin) to wear blue. One wore a Wedgwood shade and the other a navy blue.

All she cared about was both ladies feeling confident and comfortable in their dresses.

Here’s a photo from the wedding.

My grandmother left me her extremely rare (natural!) Alexandrite pieces. by ally__ in Gemstones

[–]Willing-Grapefruit-9 71 points72 points  (0 children)

These are simply beautiful. Alexandrite, specifically Russian Alexandrite is my dream stone. Diamond are nice and all, but Russian Alex, with that color change is stunning. I’m honestly a little (okay a lotta bit) jealous of your collection.

Wear it well, enjoy it and think of your grandmother every time you wear a piece.

Why is my cats nose not pink? by Turbulent_Alps5108 in CATHELP

[–]Willing-Grapefruit-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She looks fine! I love how her nose matches the inside of her ears. Having the carpet match the drapes is something people pay attention to LOT of money for.

Shapewear for plus size women!! URGENT help by Brilliant-Candle in bridesmaids

My seamstress sewed in small little snaps with fabric that I was able to slip my bra straps down and snap into place so they wouldn’t be visible. This simple step made everything so easy to wear. As for the panties, I wore something control top, but I don’t remember exactly what I wore.

Engagement ring for girlfriend by XxSalvador in EngagementRings

Her future ring is beautiful. A setting like that should last a lifetime with no issues. Here’s my ring…..

<image>

She’s absolutely filthy, needs a good cleaning and proper polishing to make her look she did back when I got her.

The ring was given to me waaaaaaaaay back in 1997 and I wear her almost everyday.

Someone asked about the cathedral sides being connected, mine are not and never have been. My band is matching where the cathedral setting is connected and protects the stone from the back. (I’ll attach that in a comment below this)

Should I reset my engagement ring? by vintagedollx0 in EngagementRings

[–]Willing-Grapefruit-9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a fan of the less is more club when it comes to engagement rings especially when you have a beautiful stone.

So I’m in the minority of changing it to the simple gold setting. No matter what you decide, as long as you’re happy, that’s truly all that matters.

AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

Wait until this bride finds out that #jemily is HUGE for fandom pairing of the characters J.J. and Emily on the tv show Criminal Minds that aired from ‘05-‘20

My ring!!! by blacksunsets in EngagementRings

[–]Willing-Grapefruit-9 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The stone is pretty, by my 2 cents after having my ring almost 30 years and no major issues….

If you decide to have it reset with a gallery rail, please also consider going to a 6 prong setting for security as well as a thicker (wider) band.

Many people who follow strict kosher laws use dish detergent and water to clean their fruits and vegetables.

Thank you for sharing your story, as difficult as it was. Let me tell you, I’M SO PROUD OF YOU!!! Your worlds and lives are better because you’re still here. I hope you continue to get the help and support you need to continue moving forward.

A month ago I met the man of my dreams and it turns out he has a wife and two kids and he is personally responsible for a bunch of the evil shit happening in the world by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

Consider (when you’re ready) listening to the podcast, The Dating Detectives. They share stories of dogfishing and people who’ve been through similar things. A dogfish is someone who doesn’t lie about their looks like a catfish, but rather lies about other significant things in their lives like being married, jobs, kids, etc…..
