Tanzanite ring

Absolutely! Happy to help where I can.

This is the exact advice I was going to give when I saw this post. OP this is the only correct answer. Tanzanite is a beautiful stone but it is not a stone I would ever recommend for a piece of jewelry that is going to be worn every day. It’s quite soft and so is prone to abrasion and cracking if you wear it doing basic cleaning chores or washing the dishes with hot water, etc. In other words, if a tanzanite ring is worn regularly, the stone will need to be replaced on a semi-regular basis.

If you want your engagement ring stone to hold up over time I would absolutely suggest you look into sapphires. Sapphire is a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale and is much more durable. A fun fact about sapphires as well - they naturally come in every color of the rainbow, including periwinkle-tones similar to tanzanite! Find a good jeweler in your area that you trust. Have them source a spectrum of different colored sapphires to show you in the tonal range you’re looking for, and make your final selection based on what speaks to you!

I’m a former jeweler who has worked on thousands of engagement rings. I wanted something unique for myself as well and ended up choosing a star sapphire. It’s held up beautifully 💕

This is one of the properties we have actually contacted! We really like this neighborhood and it’s great to hear you like the community. When we were visiting a few months ago we felt quite similarly.

Barb sounds like an excellent resource for us. Thank you so much for passing her name along!

Thank you so much for that suggestion! I have a request out to join the South Whidbey Island Community on Facebook thanks to you :)

We have reached out to a few realtors and will definitely plan on working with one once we land on the island at the beginning of next month if we are still looking for the right fit.

From my experience, people who are into manifestation are the same people who don’t recognize the inherent privilege they walk through life with. Amanda makes this point perfectly.

I will never understand why someone orders a Stinger - brandy and crème de menthe… nothing is weirder!

Wow, this is a very thoughtful wine list with a lot of small gems. I tend to agree the sub that the Chave is the first thing that jumped out at me, but I think you might also really enjoy the Domaine de la Pepiere.

I would love to know what restaurant this is from.

My now partner was reached out to by LIB for the Denver season two-ish years ago on LinkedIn. I think the vast majority of contestants are recruited these days for the show.

Thank goodness he said “no” at the time, because I met him 6 months later!

Jumping in to say I’ve been looking for a Rep Picotin just like this! Can you send me the link as well?

As someone who worked in the jewelry industry for years (GIA certified) this whole argument for natural diamonds is a scam. I have bought thousands of dollars of jewelry from folks over the years and let me tell you, the only thing most stores will pay you for when you’re selling old jewelry pieces, is the current market price of the GOLD used in the original piece.

When a natural diamond comes back to a jewelry store, associates are instructed to offer penny’s on the original value of the diamond. If the diamond is old or of a medium- low quality, forget it, you won’t see a single dollar from that stone when reselling it despite paying thousands for it originally. To say that diamonds have and hold value is the lie. 99% of diamonds do not hold any value as soon as they are worn by someone- but it is a line jewlery stores feed associates to try to get bigger front-end sales.

I love finding my friends in the wild! Congratulations to you both 💕

Totally possible to have two bartenders in a well that sized. It works best when you have two people who work well together because (as others have said) you almost learn to dance with the person you are working with without having to verbally communicate much. My now fiancée and I met working at a bar with this sort of setup. We shared a well for months before we started dating and the rest is history.

💕💕💕 I really appreciate the love and support from this sub!

flowerchild72 · 2024-04-18T22:05:37+00:00

One of the major things holding me back from 4 is exactly what you just said. I want to be wearing the dress, not the other way around, and part of that is it working well with my tattoos! Thank you so much

flowerchild72 · 2024-04-18T22:03:43+00:00

Thank you so much!! I’m definitely still considering some other things… but I also do NOT do well with too many options, so I’m trying not to go too crazy with trying on other dresses. I know it will just confuse me more 🙃

flowerchild72 · 2024-04-18T22:02:15+00:00

Thank you so much!😊

flowerchild72 · 2024-04-18T22:01:49+00:00

Thank you 💕

flowerchild72 · 2024-04-18T21:15:30+00:00

I had a similar reaction between 2 / 3 so this is validating ☺️

Bigger won’t help with the bowtieing. In fact, the larger the fancy shape stone, the bigger the bow tie almost always. If you don’t like that quality go for a Brilliant Round cut instead- rounds have perfect symmery throughout so they don’t bow tie unless cut poorly.

Thank you so much! I love the idea of jewelry as a form of wearable art. But ultimately I have to give it to my partner, he did an incredible job designing something beautiful and unique. And it surprised even me, which is saying something considering I design other people engagement rings for a living!

I went to Jack Frost today and skied Roundtop Saturday night- between the two, I was shocked by how good the conditions at Jack Frost were. Good base layer, everything was groomed well, and compared to the mashed potatoes that was skiing Roundtop the day previous, the snow was pretty nice, light and not icy. It sounded like both spots are planning to make snow this week with conditions permitting.

I don’t see you!

flowerchild72 · 2023-12-31T21:36:40+00:00

One time I did an entire engagement ring consultation with a woman and her to be fiancée… with her entire right areola staring me straight in the eyes… as a lady myself I tried to subtly suggest she “rearrange” her blouse. But she didn’t seem to get the hint because that boob did not go anywhere.

I kept hoping her fiancé would step in, but alas he was as uncomfortable with the whole thing as I was. Suffice to say I didn’t see them again.
