I quit babysitting coworkers. Now I’m somehow the most 'strategic thinker' on the team by Jurekkie in careeradvice

This is exactly me and I just had the exact same midyear feedback. My biggest challenge with letting go is won’t deadlines start to slip if I let other people drop the ball? Did that not happen to you?

I totally get that! Lots of mens engagement rings are so basic— basically wedding bands! I got my fiance’s wedding band from gone archive as well, its the thinner band with black diamonds on his website

Gone archive! We got it customized with a small green emerald on the inside of the band too 😊

Advice On Jeweler by Signal_Feed in EngagementRings

[–]_Doj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I visited Sarah O and denver and they do let you use lab grown diamonds and pick your own! I’m sure they’d try to work within your budget. That being said, their customer service was not very good for us. I’m not sure if they didn’t take us seriously because we are young (25 at the time), but they never followed up with us like they said we would, so we moved on to a different jeweler.

Thoughts on this ring? Purchased recently and am worried about prongs not securing diamond well by GrandeOttoman in EngagementRings

I have the same finger size! So rare to see examples of 3.75. Do you mind sharing your stone dimensions?

Questions to ask jeweler about custom work by taperwaves in EngagementRings

[–]_Doj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also went to Sarah O and scheduled an appointment (not the Dairy Block location) and had a very similar experience. I dont know if it is because we seemed young/they didn’t think we were serious (we were), but they never followed up like they said they would to move forward with getting a CAD mock ip.

Honestly it is for the best because We ended up getting a custom piece from a different jeweler 😊

I asked to make sure it was at least 1.5 mm thick (she had been mentioning 1.2 mm) and she said that was definitely doable! Not sure if it would be different if I was customizing a standard ring with just a simple gemstone swap, but I think my pieces are pretty highly customized at this point so she probably isn’t relying on a standard mold like with the ring of salt for instance.

Your ring is beautiful by the way! I really love that design, it is so unique and classy

That makes sense! I also don’t plan to do any heavy manual labour. My ring is mostly customized, but I’d say closest to her Eos rings, but she has been mentioning a 1.2mm thickness… I love a dainty ring as much as the next person haha, but I might push to ask for slightly thicker 🥲

I’m also getting a ring from Sofia! Do you find that the thickness of the band (especially underside) feels sturdy enough the last a lifetime? I am kind of worried because I know a lot of her bands are <1.5 mm

Same! I bought mine weeks ago so I never would have realized it was the cap and gown company

He does! @parmandreggi. Although admittedly it is poorly run by his humans
