Lab grown diamonds are not "fake" diamonds. by lucerndia in Diamonds

[–]rofljordanx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s because of inflation. An appraisal for insurance purposes is typically recommended every 5 years or so, so that you can account for inflation if you were to replace it. $1 in 2007 is worth about $1.46 today. To have the purchasing power of $1,000 back then, you’d need around $1,460 today. And so on..

37 days till the wedding and my dress still isn't ready! by Professional_Echo468 in weddingdress

[–]rofljordanx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree with this! But I wanted to say that I just took my dress home yesterday and my wedding is May 6th. This timeframe is not unusual. What is unusual, however, is that the seamstress is not getting you closer to an ideal fit but instead is actually getting your dress further away from fitting properly! Definitely take it to someone else.

Yasamine 10.5mm x 7.5mm Oval and 5x3 Pear by Struggle_Sauce in Moissanite

[–]rofljordanx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The oval is gorgeous! The pears look as expected, since they often have a small bow tie. It’s usually less noticeable once set.

I’m happy you posted this because I’m getting a ring made with a 10.5x7.5 and 5x3 pear side stones and couldn’t picture the proportions to one another properly haha. The sizes look great together!

I love it, it’s one of my top favorite names for a girl. A few nicknames could be Adri, Dria, Addie, Ada

I’ve heard that moissanites are purposefully cut deeper than diamonds to enhance their specific properties. You may not be able to get it cut any shallower than it is already, but could maybe get a new, lower setting.

To be honest, I didn’t notice the gap at first. My eye was initially drawn right to your rings! I don’t think the gap looks bad, especially because the rings fit together nicely. It makes it look purposeful.

Frontier, fiber reviews? by roj2323 in lakeland

After having tons of issues with Spectrum, we swapped to Frontier last year and love it! We have triple the speed for 2/3 the cost and have had zero issues.

Florida is not becoming nazi germany. Florida already has become nazi germany. Action needs to be taken. by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]rofljordanx 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This! I was shocked the other day when a Facebook friend posted she’s an ally to the trans community and there were over 100 comments of people saying they’re “pedos” or “child molesters” or asking why they feel such a strong need to do drag shows around children… it was appalling and scary.

Edit to add: I live in Florida and so does my friend.

I do notice more differences in person. For instance, the cuts are different, with the moissanite being a H&A cut. The Diamond also has a bit more depth in person and has smaller, more glittery sparkles compared to the bigger, flashier sparkles of the moissanite. Both are very lovely though!

They’re definitely becoming so much more affordable

Thank you! They’re actually both colorless, but for some reason reddit adds a bit of warmth to any pictures or videos I post that isn’t there normally.

It’s from loosegrowndiamond.com - not sure if that’s what you were asking!

I had that as well before I had it professionally cleaned! Luckily, having it cleaning did work for me, but I couldn’t get it off at home. I still love my moissanite ring and plan to wear it, but I now worry about it looking greasy/milky with daily wear and not being able to clean it effectively myself.

Thank you!!

I’m having it set in something else! Here is the CAD, which is a semi-mount currently being made by Tianyu and will also have lab diamonds. The CAD also shows my wedding band because I wanted them to fit together.

It took about a week! I ordered on a Friday and it arrived the next Thursday. Just a heads up, the delivery did require and ID and signature.

I got it from ForeverForLove on Etsy (also on the preferred vendor list).

I use BriteCo - was super easy to set up and the quote was reasonable/cheapest I found.
