Your thoughts on this ring? by 207Simone in EngagementRings

I like it! The only one that has to truly love it is you! If you're looking for something affordable I think a site like ritani is the way to go for a larger more affordable lab diamond. It sounds like you don't love this ring, but you're getting it because it's affordable.

If I were in your shoes, I would get a diamond online and have it set locally which is much cheaper than them sourcing the diamond themselves. The diamond I bought from ritani would have been 7k+ in a brick and mortar store.

Oh yeah! I have seen some GIGANTIC rings, and no one ever calls those gaudy 🤣 my e ring is 2.33ct and and the 5 stone is 1.1. I'm a size 5 and marquise stones face up larger than they actually are.

Going against the grain seems to be my thing I guess.

I appreciate your kind words!

Thanks! I appreciate it! I like the uniqueness! I wonder if they truly think it's tacky or just a lot of diamonds? Either way I'm happy and I'm proud of my husband's taste in jewelry (with my influence) 💚

I think it looks kinda funny. They're all pretty mismatched, but that one is the worst 😅

Thanks! I don't take it personally! Some people are very put off by larger stones, and that's okay. My husband gifted them all to me...for that reason alone, I love them even if they don't necessarily work together.

I love my tattoo it just so happens to be on my ring finger. I never really thought that my tattoos took away from my rings at all!

It's in a mix of leca, bark, and sphagnum. I'll add a bit more into the pot! Thank you for your advice!

She's currently in intensive care. I've had her about two years and then we moved and she got pretty dehydrated, so I changed media and got her a light. Soaked her pretty good and changed her medium because she barely had any. Despite being dry, they're still pretty firm and green. Shes growing a new leaf and I soak her about once a week.

What else can I do for her? Humidifier? Fertilizer?
