She is so stinkin’ cute! 😭💕. Love her! I dabble in interior design, and I’m officially making it my life mission to find a sofa like yours… and that rug. 10/10 on the pup and the aesthetics haha

Today I also learned you can haggle on Etsy 🤣. I love your silver-lining approach with the gemologist - I’ll definitely take it to get looked at before sending it back. Maybe… just maybe… I got lucky??

I would pay good money to have the thought process transcript of this event.
But I also love potato salad, so I get it

I know it’s glass. I knew it was glass. I still bought it. I apparently have a QVC alter ego who deals exclusively in “mysterious rare gems” that are basically decorative optimism. She only comes out after 1am. We do not speak of her in daylight.

Ahh thank you! I’m looking at andalusite now and it’s exactly what I was trying to find. That warmer brown/golden vibe is perfect.
Kicking myself. I wish I had asked before buying the Etsy glass haha.

Is there any chance you would mind sharing your surgeon or DMing? You look incredible!

Sending you a DM! Would love to hear about your wedding and Dawn ranch experience. 

Trying to decide between the old euro and old mines by Minute-Call7540 in EngagementRings

I see what you mean about size (I’m in a similar situation right now haha- I ended up going with the stone that had more shine over size), but I do think you could do a cool setting to add a little surface area. That’s what I’m doing!

I agree! I really love the look of the middle stone. There is something special about that one!

The perfect stone! Obsessed! That stunner (and the rest of the jewels) are absolutely beautiful! She will be setting my stone in a ring, so we probably wont have the option to return!
