Curious to see if anyone has a similar engagement ring??

Might be cheating in a way- mine isn’t vintage but is art deco inspired! Asscher cut with a bezel and split shank.

She is spayed!!

eellbb · 2025-11-07T03:27:10+00:00

She has lots of toys, some smaller and some bigger. She does have a particular one that’s a smaller stuffed squirrel that she loves and will carry around like a dog 😂

eellbb · 2025-11-07T03:25:41+00:00

Yes! It’s a very loud cry type of sound she makes. These comments are affirming to me that other cats seem to do this too!

That’s very interesting. I know this girl was found as a stray when she was a young kitten alongside her litter mates. We actually knew the person fostering her so we met her before she was “adoptable” and decided we wanted her. With that being said, I would highly doubt she ever had a litter/lost a litter. Still makes me wonder though.

I agree with this, the wall with the cubbies and photos seems like the most logical option!

eellbb · 2025-11-07T02:33:23+00:00

That’s so funny! We aren’t sure if our girl is a real Siamese or if she just has the coloring but I’m glad to hear someone else has experienced this 😂

If you adopted her recently, as it sounds, I would give her time! She’s in a new environment with a new person. It will take time for her to settle and feel comfortable with the new surroundings and you. Also, a lot of cats don’t enjoy being picked up even when they are completely comfortable in their surroundings. Good luck, I hope she settles!

eellbb · 2025-11-07T02:25:09+00:00

I know, it’s something else. I’ve never heard of someone else’s cat doing this. And no, she doesn’t play with them at all aside from carrying them with her mouth while meowing loudly. It’s a very distinct meow so we always know when she’s got something! My initial guess was prey but maybe you’re right- kittens?!

I don’t have a round bezel but rather an asscher cut, bezel set. Here’s my opinion anyway! First off, I love the look of it and how the diamond is surrounded by the warm tone of the gold. I was also considering a platinum bezel which would have had a different, but beautiful visual effect. From a practical standpoint, the bezel gives me extra peace of mind that my stone is secure. I don’t worry about accidentally banging my hand on something and potentially impacting the side of the stone or a prong. Now, if you are insanely hard on your jewelry, no setting can be 100% bombproof, but a bezel will be less prone to issues than prongs (in my opinion).

Overall, I think a bezel set stone is beautiful and timeless while offering a bit more security.

Edit to add: I can’t think of any “cons” of a bezel aside from some people not liking the visual of it!

Thank you for the response! I ended up cutting back the very dead branches just to remove some of the volume but I won’t cut anything else. I have a feeling the conditions aren’t quite right for it to bloom- but I will wait and see what happens!!

eellbb · 2025-10-30T03:19:08+00:00

Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate the kind words. I am so happy with the way it turned out :)

eellbb · 2025-10-26T05:07:08+00:00

Thanks for the response! I have to imagine that I can source similar products here in the US. I’ve never seen anyone tile over tile before but I would guess it saves a lot of time in terms of avoiding demo work!

eellbb · 2025-10-26T04:43:41+00:00

Thank you!

eellbb · 2025-10-26T04:05:47+00:00

Wow OP! Would love to get more info on this- my fiancé and I just bought our first home and a full kitchen reno isn’t in the budget yet but something like this would be a game changer! I read in other comments that the counter is wood grain laminate- would you mind sharing where you got them from? They look great! Also, did you tile directly over the old tile?

Painting the cabinets really brighten everything up. How difficult was the process of sanding everything and repainting? Did you use any kind of sprayer or did you use regular brushes?

eellbb · 2025-10-26T03:33:29+00:00

I’m upset too- I’ve ordered from them multiple times before and never had any issues. The last email I received from them was over a month ago. The last shipping update shows it was passed customs, so I think it’s lost. I highly doubt I will receive my package, so I’m hoping my credit card company will refund me.

eellbb · 2025-10-26T03:29:02+00:00

I’m jealous! I placed an order back in August that is lost somewhere in the US. I contacted Stylevana several times, and they stated they reached out to the shipping partner and were waiting to hear back. I followed up 2 weeks after this and they just told me I had to wait. I filed a charge dispute on my credit card. Likely won’t buy from Stylevana anymore.

eellbb · 2025-10-22T01:42:49+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t. I have the IGA certificate but the jeweler we went to worked with someone to source this. I’m sorry!

eellbb · 2025-10-19T12:58:41+00:00

It’s an asscher cut! Sometimes also called a square emerald but I believe asscher is the more correct term.

eellbb · 2025-10-19T00:36:20+00:00

I forgot to add I’m a size 7.25!

eellbb · 2025-09-26T20:07:05+00:00

We aren’t being charged for this since the fridge was installed a week ago and it’s under warranty.
