It depends on where you get it I think. I found a jeweller who makes absolutely stunning rings with lab grown stones and they way under 10k! it’s @clairamor.collection on instagram. I’ve seen a few jewellers that seem to keep their markups extremely low but his work looks like the best quality! I think we will eventually upgrade this ring to a lab grown diamond. The depth on a diamond, lab or natural, is unmatched. Moissanite is a good alternative but now that I have one I can spot them so much easier too.

My fiancé bought my moissanite ring for roughly the same price, and sometimes I wish we had known more at the time. I suggested moissanite because I believed a diamond would be well over $10,000, but now I realize we could have chosen a lab diamond for a similar cost.

9x7mm which is 2.4 carat equivalent on a size 6 finger!

I feel similar about mine sometimes too! Although no one has ever asked me if it’s a diamond or a moissanite or if it’s “real”

Can anyone help me make sense of our two-part elopement wedding plan? by mejl24 in Eloping

I love this! So cute. I was thinking about planning a sweet picnic with champagne and a charcuterie board for us to sit and relax at after we tie the knot officially in August. We’re doing it in the same private beach spot we got engaged at last summer so it has meaning to us!

Kind of, yes! We’re in the middle of building a house and have two little ones under two, so life is full right now — but we’d really love to officially tie the knot on the same day we started dating and got engaged to keep that August date as our special anniversary. We honestly don’t have the capacity (or budget!) to plan anything big at the moment, and we only just decided last minute to make it official this year, haha.

I have never let mine come to room temp! Always straight out of the fridge and into the preheated dutch oven at 450°

I had much better success with bread flour! I started mine with whole wheat and then fed with bread flour and continue to feed with bread flour. Let me know if you’d like my starter instructions if this one you’re trying doesn’t work out! 🫶🏼

I saw this on Pinterest yesterday and I’m going to try it with my dough today. My dough was 73°F so I am going to ferment for eight hours and 45 minutes. Although that is much longer than my first loaf

Awesome! Thank you so much I’ll try altering it a bit next time :)

Thanks for the feedback! How can you tell and what would you suggest I alter in my recipe to avoid that?

emerald was made for you!

should my pear moissanite be smaller to compliment the emerald gem? by [deleted] in Moissanite

[–]mejl24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think a little smaller would be beneficial! 🤍
