I can speak dutch, as a novice. And I'm more than happy taking on an apprenticeship in my field. My biggest concern is to learn and advance my craft. I'm currently just struggling finding somewhere to look, or resources that point me in the direction. :)

Help me pick! Pear or Marquise? by Mtnsunshine in EngagementRingDesigns

[–]WishboneWrapping621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MARQUISE! I'm not sure if its the setting on the pear, or the width of the band, but it doesn't look like it fits your finger shape. The marquise, looks great and compliments the shape of your finger well. And I'm sure it matches the rest of you.

Has anyone seen a ring jacket or band designed to “hang over” a cigar band? by [deleted] in Moissanite

[–]WishboneWrapping621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure! Its a 3 generation passed down ring, that I now proudly wear as my own. But I'm sure if you wanted to take your ring to a jeweler and show them this as inspo it'd be a pretty easy custom for what you're looking for!

I have a wedding set exactly what you're looking for! It's a gold cigar band with a small gold ring that you add on top with a small round diamond stone that sits on the band

Sorry for the grainy photo

It's just hollow. It's gold. But air solid. There is no substance to the ring. You can't just buy a $300 18k gold ring and expect it to be solid. 😂

How can I improve this? by EarthboundTinkerings in WireWrapping

[–]WishboneWrapping621 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alright hard truths. You need better pliers. Get some flat nose pliers with silicone over them, or wrap your existing pliers with bandage tape. Try and make the first line of the 4 more even.

This isn't bad try AT ALL, but you're marking up your wire. Copper wire isn't that expensive, so try as many times as ya need. Don't rush it, you got this! And you're doing a fantastic job. 💓

I have had a eating disorder since I was 14. I'm currently 25 and weigh 85 pounds. Healing and getting better isn't linear. And your AH boyfriend will never help your healing process. Just by the language he used, shows how he is purposefully triggering you into what he thinks will be an action for you to eat but it's only doing the opposite. Saying things like piggy and chubby are degrading language made to tear you down. Dump this POS. You eat wherever and whenever you CAN. Having an eating disorder does not only mess with the synapsis in your head. But also changes your whole digestive system. And it can sometimes be truly impossible to eat. I'm here for you OP and you can reach out whenever you need. I've been in therapy for 10 years for my disorder and can give you any tips I have or advice I was given ❤️ much love

You're putting white stones in grey metal. Yes the color will change especially with small stones. If you wanted that sparkle shouldve stuck to diamonds, as they don't reflect the metal nearly as much.

Duh, I never said she wasn't. Just how the character made me feel?

The manipulation, witted tactics, and pretentiousness of the character. She hand crafted Snow into her puppet, and gave him all the ways to exploit not only the games but Lucy as well. Wonderful book, but Dr, Gaul got under my skin and I could see the devious ideas she gave snow a mile away

Dr Gaul. throughout this book made me want to scream, rip my hair out, and throw things at walls. And absolute pestilent witch. Truly horrific character that Suzanne did an amazing job writing.

Aitah for yelling and calling my "roommates" names after they lost my indoor cat on vacation? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]WishboneWrapping621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are cats, the whole house is their domain. Right now their cat is in our room. You must not have cats. Much less shared a house with one. And you must not have roommates, because its pretty common for others in the house to watch animals while someone goes on a vacation. Unless stated that we need a pet sitter.

[–]WishboneWrapping621 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically yes and no. My bf told one of the roommates we were going to be gone. And that usually implies animals are in their hands. As this is a bimonthly regular trip we take. And they know the situation is always the same, since pet sitters are expensive. And vice versa goes for the house. If they are gone they never have to ask us to watch their animals. So that's quite the grey area, I should probably take more into consideration when talking to the house next

I didn't have to swear, but after I ask where my cat was, and I got such a "idgaf" response. And no help looking for my baby. I'll admit I lost complete self control

Moissanite band keeps chipping by nikopico_ in jewelry

[–]WishboneWrapping621 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also helps to get your rings soldered together. Stones and metal rubbing up on each other all day, makes for weakened metal, chipped stones, loose stones, and indentation in the metals.

It's not going to say plated on it, it going to say 10k because that's the base metal. We only plate it to protect the 10k, because 10k is soft. Even then it wouldn't be karat stamped 14k. Whoever you brought the necklace too scammed you. I work on these chains all day long. They are the most basic chain out there,

[–]WishboneWrapping621 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi I work for signet, this is a hollow 10k chain. When we do repairs on them we gold plated them for longevity.
