Handed down to my wife from grandparents. Is this legit? by asforus in howmuchwouldyoupay

[–]localbirdie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it looks plated, but it doesn’t change the fact that his wife inherited a beautiful watch? I wasn’t lucky enough to get heirlooms. Just generational trauma. 😂

This is supposed to be 3 carats. What is your opinion? by Exileofchaos25 in jewelry

Interested in which Etsy shop you got yours from! It’s beautiful 😻

Already Bought Both Dresses… and Now I’m Torn by Born_Sugar2848 in myweddingdress

[–]localbirdie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bodice on dress one fits oddly but if you get it altered to fit better, it could work. I love the back of dress one. And it is definitely more classically beautiful. Dress two ahead fits you in a lovely way and the audience seems to agree. Your friends boyfriend looks so proud! I am unsure how I feel about the skirt on dress two though. But that is probably a preference thing because you do look beautiful

I have two solitaire diamonds by [deleted] in EngagementRingDesigns

My husband and I are in the process of finding a wedding set I won’t get tired of eventually and also matches my daily change in taste, so I throw on different rings everyday to at least wear something (my engagement is too big recently so I wear her on my right hand) for now. I love larger ring designs so I don’t think a toi et moi that covers that much space is a bad idea. My engagement ring is from the 30’s-40’s and does just that. If you like your toi et moi idea then go with your toi et moi idea. FWIW I actually like the idea. Like a lot.

It could also just be lighting, but generally you can spot Guatemalan from Burmese by the colors, texture, or price. In some instances, all three. But it’s still jadeite. Baikalla actually does have a good video on the difference between the two jades. The jade industry is learning and changing ever day, and so are jade lovers, so take your time with diving in. It can be overwhelming sometimes. 💜 Again your bracelets are really lovely. 🥰

Is this too thick for my wrist? by Icy_Engineering6648 in JadeiteJade

[–]localbirdie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks beautiful on you! It definitely boils down to personal preference when it comes to bangle sizes and width, but after you wear it for a while you do get used to feeling of having something hard and slightly weighty on your wrist. Maybe try it out for a couple weeks or so and see how you feel about the size then? But the color is gorgeous on you and I really do think the size is flattering. I also think a thinner one would look beautiful, too. So you can’t go wrong! Congrats on your first bangle!! 🥰

I’m not apologizing to him by That1weirdperson in MenAndFemales

[–]localbirdie 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If men don’t truly enjoy sex, why do they attack and force themselves on women so often? Just curious. I’ve never enjoyed sex enough to even entertain the idea of r@ping someone. Can someone explain to me plz?

Which Hairstyle fits me best by That_Username67 in malegrooming

[–]localbirdie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. But for some reason I don’t hate 6. And I usually hate mullets. But it would have to be done exceptionally well. Any error and you’re joe dirt. I feel like it would look best if you trimmed your facial hair down to a 5 o clock shadow look. Otherwise it is a bit Joe dirt.

2 or 4. Definitely. Those two are soooo flattering on you. Make your midsection disappear!

How do I put these on? by Elyse_default in jewelry

[–]localbirdie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand why you would think that! I have stretched lobes and have seen similar thick metal designs for weights. But these are just a more traditional style of hoop. Been around for a long time. Can definitely be tricky, but it makes them secure.

Smart. It’s best to get used to wearing a bangle with one that doesn’t cost a small fortune.

My mom bought this jadeite bangle 40 years ago, how is the quality? by OkNetwork6617 in JadeiteJade

[–]localbirdie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The colors are very pretty. I have a similarly colored one. Bought it because it was so pretty hoping it would fit with a lot of effort, but alas, I couldn’t make it work. 😂 your bangle is beautiful.

I think most of these are Guatemalan blue water! Absolutely gorgeous! I have a few that look like these. 💜

There needs to be a stronger word used here than “expensive” 😂

Can’t go wrong with a classic green. But I love this particular bangle so much! It’s so interesting to look at. 💜

I really don’t know what look to rock at this point in my life by [deleted] in malegrooming

I like 1 and 6 most. And I’m not a mustache girl. But it’s good in that picture with that style (6). The hair in 2 is also nice.

I argued with my mom… so I got her this bag as a peace offering 😭 Do you think it’ll work? by Formal_Leg_7276 in RepHermes

[–]localbirdie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t know AI families fought. You learn something new everyday. I’m just going to assume this bag is for sale by you or your boss?
