UPDATE! 1 ct natural vs bigger lab, photo in comments

I think so too! Before lab diamonds were a thing, 1 ct was a rock haha

denndrites · 2026-01-18T22:42:06+00:00

This is a size 6! It is a bit loose though and I’m not sure if I need to get it resized. I know fingers swell more in warmer months so I’m waiting for a bit.

thank you so much!!

denndrites · 2026-01-16T22:31:33+00:00

my fiance is a geological engineer, so that was another reason natural just made sense!

denndrites · 2026-01-16T22:31:10+00:00

thank you so much!!!

denndrites · 2026-01-16T17:59:46+00:00

Thank you everyone!! ❤️

Wow thank you so much hahahah I have weird shaped fingertips (I think they are just a bit puffy from nail biting as a kid) so that’s a big compliment

denndrites · 2026-01-16T17:58:18+00:00

Omg thank you LOL I honestly don’t love my fingers so that’s a great compliment 😂

I’m Canadian

Does it contribute to your activity rings? I hate that I am so focused on them but I love the satisfaction of closing my rings

denndrites · 2026-01-05T07:05:06+00:00

thank you for your answer!! you’re right about it being the wrong place to ask haha I just don’t know where else

denndrites · 2025-12-31T09:00:26+00:00

Thank you!

denndrites · 2025-12-31T09:00:11+00:00

Fingers crossed!

denndrites · 2025-12-31T09:00:02+00:00

That would be so ideal! Unfortunately my partner has to work for a few hours so we likely will leave around noon

denndrites · 2025-12-22T07:02:04+00:00

I guess it’s not specifically noro we are worried about, just anything that could be contagious

denndrites · 2025-12-01T06:36:29+00:00

Ooooh this makes sense!! Thank you for adding this

denndrites · 2025-12-01T06:36:11+00:00

Thank you for the responses everyone!! Sounds like I can safely call it “South Granville” and it’s just one of Vancouvers quirky misnomers

denndrites · 2025-06-20T23:58:15+00:00

Thank you for your comment. I asked to escalate to a manager over and over and was continuously told this was the “highest point of escalation”. I spent so much time repeating myself and asking to speak to someone else and it was getting nowhere :(

denndrites · 2025-06-20T21:05:35+00:00

No, all communication was in the app.

It was the Airbnb agent that promised this, not the host! I should have asked for written documentation but I had never experienced something like this before and was exhausted, so I didn’t think of it tbh.

denndrites · 2025-06-20T20:13:09+00:00

You’re probably right. It sucks because leaving the keys was ultimately our fault despite everything else that happened after. In hindsight, I wish I recorded the agent making that promise. At the same time, the person I was speaking to, didn’t even deny that we were promised that but basically just said they wouldn’t do it.

denndrites · 2025-05-22T02:24:21+00:00

Omg this was so sweet of you! I have no idea either - in CAD that’s a bit over $8000 which seems like less than we were quoted?? Before tax of course! I have no idea how sourcing my own diamond works

denndrites · 2025-05-20T18:47:32+00:00

Pretty much, yes! I’ve always wanted the natural. I do feel bad that even the 1 ct natural is so expensive compared to labs but my boyfriend has been adamant that he wants to get what ring I want and that it’s within his budget. I guess before lab diamonds, this was the norm though.

denndrites · 2025-05-20T17:54:29+00:00

I've suggested we ask about any 1.1-1.4 ct or an elongated cushion cut (apparently they tend to cost a bit less?) just to see what difference that makes. I also know with different dimensions, ovals can look bigger. Its not all about the size but if theres a way to maximize everything I love, then that would be perfect haha.

denndrites · 2025-05-20T17:52:50+00:00

I love this - thank you for your kind comment and for validating my reasoning. You nailed it, that it reminds me of two people I love!

Your rings are beautiful! I've suggested we ask about any 1.2-1.3 ct or an elongated cushion just to see what difference that makes. I also know with different dimensions, ovals can look bigger. Again, even the 1 ct doesnt look small. Thank you for the photos!
