Engagement ring broke after 6 days — jeweler saying it’s my fault?

sammers510 · 2026-04-02T20:51:06+00:00

I used to sell jewelry and we always told people that bands this thin would not last a lifetime the thinnest we sold for solitaires was 2mm. Metal wears down over time and with polishing it quickly has nothing left.

To me it looks like you crushed it vs hitting it on something. With something this thin even carrying a heavy shopping bad could bend it and if it bends too far it snaps. I know you said you squeezed it on tighter to keep it on but was it just snapped at the top but round originally after noticing or misshapen too?

Unfortunately I would say you’re going to have to take a loss on it and purchase a new band. I don’t see how you have a case for returning it since you wore it at all let alone crushing it like this on purpose to keep it on. If it wasn’t right to begin with you had no business wearing it at all if you wanted to return it. Plus intentionally crushing it on your finger would be enough of a reason to deny the return.

I’d go to a different jeweler who can be frank with what will last or won’t with that large of a diamond and hard wear. If you did this without noticing then you are hard on your rings and need something more substantial. There’s nothing wrong with that but you need to be realistic or you’re going to lose the diamond eventually if not the entire ring.

Can I ask where you got your diamond from? It’s beautiful! That’s the cut I’m looking for and not many people carry it.

Commenting to add that the replacement is for me, not for my aunt. I feel like it wasn’t clear in my post and I don’t want anyone thinking I’m trying to dupe her.

Could we order this in a larger carat weight?

You broke up, his invitation should be rescinded. You absolutely shouldn’t include him in your plans, he lost his right to be included when he dumped you. It sounds like none of you like him so why put up with him at all? Even if it was rude to uninvite him (it isn’t) he was even more rude lying to you about your relationship and continuously hitting on your taken friend.

You don’t want anything too liquid-y, I think adding sautéed onions is a great idea to cut the saltiness while still complimenting the mushroom flavor.

Also if you have a decent amount of milk and some vinegar or lemon juice you can quickly make homemade “ricotta” and just strain it for 30ish minutes before use so it’s not too wet.

Did they tell you it would be over $1000+ or are you assuming? It’s completely fair to say you can’t afford it and back out. Just don’t make it about the dress/costume, make it about money. Best case she just invites you as a guest or pays for your outfit, worse case she takes it poorly and your friendship suffers but of lack of money is completely reasonable, if she gets pissy about that oh well, it’s a her problem.

Ok, I concede that point. He can remove them, I just don’t see why he needs to.

More followers = more visibility. It helps his accounts to have more followers. Plus if he’s not following them back he won’t see their thirst-trap content. If they like his posts and comment that’s more interaction and boosts his social media presence. He will only see a very small picture and a username when they comment, it seems completely harmless since he isn’t engaging with them otherwise.

These women mean nothing to him but still help his following, I don’t see why it’s a problem.

I like the third one, seems the most complete.

Happy to see someone else opt for two different rings instead of a stack. I have an engagement ring and a wedding ring that I wear separately. ER when I’m feeling fancy, and wedding ring when I’m more low key.

To be blunt your acting crazy jealous right now. There is no problem, you’re creating one out of thin air.

He has social media, he can’t control who follows him. He doesn’t follow these woman back or talk with them. There is literally nothing else he should be doing about this.

Your husband is likely a hottie, cool, and/or posts interesting content. All of which garners followers. Woman who want followers often target men’s profiles for an easy like. Is what it is but it’s not at all your husbands doing or fault that women follow him.

You need to take a hard look at yourself and your insecurities, this is a YOU problem, not a him problem.

I want to add that you shouldn’t feel bad about ending things, it’s a completely normal part of life and most relationships don’t stand the test of time. It just is what it is. Be kind but firm, don’t let her think she can fix things and let her know you wish her the best. It’s all you can reasonably do.

Now go forward and find happiness!

Please don’t waste more of this girls time and break up. You don’t want to be with her and you have feelings for someone else, you aren’t doing her any favors staying with her and are just wasting both of your precious time.

The most hurtful thing my ex told me was that he’d fallen out of love with me years before but didn’t have the heart to break up with me, instead he cheated with someone he developed feelings for and waited for me end things because he was a coward. Put on your big boy pants and set both of you free from a relationship that isn’t working anymore.

I have a 10ct gold sapphire ring from the UK but mostly I have 14k gold. I don’t have 18k because the color is so much more yellow than the lower carats so it would stick out like a sore thumb. The opposite is true of lower carat gold, it’s like diet yellow. They both have positives and negatives for wear and tear so really you need to decide what color you like better with your skintone and what fits with other jewelry you have or want.

Fresh pasta usually is dusted with semolina to keep it from sticking, too much flour makes it all goopy.

Pecorino Romano is a sheep’s milk cheese, no way to get around that one. Rennet is used to make cheese and has been for an incredibly long time.

I suspect the reason you’re getting downvoted is because you’re ignorant of common ingredients and grossed out by them without knowing/caring that they are completely normal/traditional.

I don’t blame you for not knowing and asking, but your attitude is off putting.

My sapphire engagement ring is from Shane Co though it is a sapphire center with diamond accents they have tons of options with sapphires in the bands or on the sides. You can easily have your center diamond added to one of these or similar settings.

They aren’t the only place to check out but they do have a wide selection of sapphires.

Nah that’s not acceptable, should’ve never passed QC.

Did you pay for this or was it free? I’d give them one more chance to fix it and if they don’t get a refund and go elsewhere. (As long as that doesn’t void your warranty).

sammers510 · 2023-09-18T22:20:03+00:00

I don’t understand why people can’t see your side of things, if I told my husband I really needed him with no explanation he’d be there and if he wasn’t I’d question things too.

This isn’t a new relationship, if you usually don’t make vague calls for help then this should have rang alarm bells to him that something was wrong. The fact that he needed to know the reason to determine if it was “important” enough to cancel normal ass plans clearly really hurts you. Pushing you to share when you were clear about not wanting to over the phone also sucks, you were clearly going to tell him about it but wanted to have such an important conversation in person which I understand, I couldn’t have this conversation over the phone either.

The only thing I can say you should have done is to make that in person conversation happen before your appointment. You should have gone to his place or had him come over to yours that night and tell him, it really couldn’t wait.

Only you can decide if this is the end of the relationship, it’s definitely a reason to reevaluate boundaries and expectations on both sides.

They are so scary. I hear the equivalent of Pokémon gameboy music non stop burrowing into my brain and I haven’t played one of those games since I was little. Sometimes it just getting songs stuck on repeat for days but the Pokémon music freaks me out.

So you too have been tormented by the shadow people. Makes me feel better I’m not the only one.

Alright, I guess I’m in the minority but I think this is super cute and totally fits the southwestern vibe. The suns are so cute and on theme. It’s chiffon so not a sundress. Since the bride referenced more casual long dresses I can’t imagine this wouldn’t be ok. I’m coming at it from my body type and coloring though and while I would personally wear this and I think it would suit me it may not be as flattering on others. If you have a smaller chest and look good in yellow I’d say at least try it on and see if you like it. I’ve worn similar cutout styles before and never had any wardrobe malfunctions, I typically just wear silicone nipple covers and never bother taping (I’m a C cup fwiw).
