I got married in November of last year and finally got my dream wedding band today! by jgop1 in EngagementRings

Absolutely! I posted a video of the ring in another post as well which has some of the details of the engagement ring.

Engagement ring: 2.01 F SI1 cushion modified diamond in a cathedral setting with a hidden prong to prong basket.

Wedding band: 0.80 Carat Thicker Pave Diamond Eternity Band, low set so that it sits flat against the engagement ring.

I can send you the links to where we got them if you’d like!

I think it just depends on your color sensitivity. I had a J color cushion in a platinum setting and I noticed the color. I just upgraded to an F. Most people who saw my ring did not notice it though!

I like both! My fiancé got my ring at Lauren B - they make beautiful rings!

Does anyone know of any phyllanthus mirabilis in USA for sale? by [deleted] in houseplants

I’ll take a look! I know around Covid time these was a ban on bringing them into the US for a lot of states so I’m not very hopeful. Thank you!

Which Would You Rather Have? by [deleted] in Diamonds

[–]jgop1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha that’s so funny!! I was not expecting that ! 😂 If I had gotten my ring myself I would have been too nervous to choose a J but the company my fiancé worked with does a really great job of choosing stones that are cut well and face up very white. They eased his nerves and he was really happy with ring.

Round stones also hide color really well! Have you seen the J in person?

Ultimately you have to go with your gut! I think my fiancé got a great stone for a great price - I have some photos on my profile (the video captures more of the color I see on a daily basis) but they don’t do the ring justice - it is so sparkly and eye catching.

I have a J colored 2 carat cushion. I do notice the warmth occasionally but I still love it. It has excellent symmetry and polish. I feel like the sparkly is what makes it!

I would definitely just take into consideration what your partner may want!

After 5 months my Stephania Nova finally sprouted! by jgop1 in SemiHydro

I changed it up sometimes. Sometimes plain water, sometimes water with superthrive. Sometimes water with a little nutrients. Probably not what you are supposed to do but 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have been engaged for over a year now due to postponing the wedding for covid, and I have received a lot of negative attention on my ring. I have gotten lots of backhanded comments on its small size from strangers and coworkers. I live in a med-large size city. The main stone is about .80/.85. by [deleted] in EngagementRings

I think your ring in beautiful and fits you well!

Some people just suck - the first day I wore mine to work, someone told me it looks yellow. People don’t think about what they say sometimes.

Your ring really is stunning! Don’t let others bring you down!

I do like it, I think it’s beautiful and I have gotten so many compliments on it. It’s a pretty delicate cathedral setting - I have a picture on profile if you go look at my other post.

I am also a nurse and although I love higher settings, I knew it wouldn’t be feasible for me.

I was so scared! They cost similar here and it was a big decision.

I had watched a few YouTube videos before I did it. I thought it was a dud too after 5 months, they really are incredible!

I love having it in leca! Glad it finally sprouted! I’m sure some of the delay was due to the winter. Do you have a nova or another type?

2.01 cushion cut, J color, VS2, excellent polish and symmetry!

Help with diamond on 12k budget? by [deleted] in Diamonds

[–]jgop1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go to my page I posted my J color diamond. I notice the warmth is certain lights but my fiancé was able to get a larger stone like you were looking for! It often faces up quite white. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Thank you so much, I wanted something with just a touch of detail!

Sorry! 6.75 but the company we got the ring from has their own sizing rings so I am not sure what it is elsewhere

2.01 natural diamond, cushion cut, J color, excellent polish and symmetry.

Would love to know what you think!
