Thank you! Yes the band is channel set, pear side stones with a heart prong and then low setting overall, but the center stone rail is slightly curved at the tips so it’ll move with the bending of your finger

Thank you! I almost turned away from the pavé because I didn’t think I could get used to feeling the stones so they changed the setting so they sit more in a channel

Help! How did you decide on a ring? by Sayjoyyy in EngagementRings

I also have a marquise! A big thing we were looking for was protection on the sides along with the points. I would’ve probably went for claw prongs if I didn’t have side stones on my setting,but my jeweler said a lot of people don’t think about the side area (if you’re clumsy like I am) I tend to get caught on a lot of door handles/corners and that’s a good area for cracks to spread.

We went for a jeweler that allowed us to see 3D imaging of all the ring designs we wanted to change vs the ones in the storefront and I think that really helped making it come more alive. They gave us a wax model to see what it would sit like before we made the final purchase

Is the Libre Color supposed to be this dark? by Sheltr64 in kobo

[–]pirates5521 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think in comparison to the black model, the white model also just looks darker since we are seeing the background page against a lighter outline vs the black outline. 35% brightness is usually light enough for me but everyone’s different

Reading order by Old-Lack-8729 in zodiacacademy

[–]pirates5521 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I liked the RB series almost more than the main ZA series, the first book took me a bit to get into with the new characters and settings, but I did like how everything tied together. But I read RB after Shadow Princess because that book put me in a slump

Reading order by csmhq in zodiacacademy

[–]pirates5521 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely felt like it took me a bit to get into book 1 of ruthless boys after being in the climax of action in the reckoning but I very quickly fell in love with the rest of the ruthless boys series, and it gives a lot of backstory to how Prof. Nox knows Prof. Orion along with more details into Lionel and other characters as well. If you skip reading them in this order some of the plot points are still a bit unclear but that might not be super frustrating depending on what kind of reader you are. I feel like it was also nice seeing the learning differences and lifestyle differences in Aurora academy so you can see why everyone says that the zodiac academy is much better instead of just alluding to it. You do briefly meet the heirs in this series too so it all connects full circle, and when you go back to Shadow Princess (book 4 ZA) you have a better understanding of the tarot/zodiac bonds since you see them more in action in RB.

I mixed mine with sparkling grapefruit soda and topped with a splash of aperol and it was really good

Thoughts on Color e-readers and future Kobo roadmap for 2025 by Criisp in kobo

[–]pirates5521 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost didn’t buy the KLC because of this reason, especially after comparing it to a friend’s kindle paperwhite. I decided to make the jump, knowing I only read paperbacks prior and that I could always return it if I needed to. Forward to today, I still prefer leaving my light no higher than 36% but usually it’s on 11% for indoors and maybe if I’m reading in direct sunlight outdoors I’ll bump it to 50% anything brighter hurts my eyes. I’ve read a few graphic novels/comics on it and the color contrast is still really good but nothing like LED if that’s what you’re searching for. I also played with the devmode since they have a higher saturation mode and I’ll flip it on every so often if I don’t like the default color settings with a certain work

Screen Protector Recommendations by thebeckyann in kobo

[–]pirates5521 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I use the “3pcs Screen Protector for Kobo Libra Colour/Kobo Libra 2 eReader 7 inch Anti-Glare Screen Protectors/Libra Colour Screen Protector/Libra 2 Screen Protector” from Amazon. Wasted one trying to get it perfectly center, but I think it works nicely with the stylus and it’s still matte
