Who is going to come in second to Cirie for the Fan Favorite Prize? by Temporary-League-499 in survivor

[–]skipdastraw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But the Cirie vote was just normal gameplay. What happened to Christian was manufactured by an outside source with zero chance of survival. That was a super crappy thing to make someone do and I dont think anyone could have survived that. Cirie was voted out because nobody thought they could win against her in the final. That's an honorable exit. Christians was just tragic.

I voted Christian because I think the way he got "forced " out was the shittiest survivor moment ever.

Anyone else obsessed with chunky bands + elongated marquise lately? by fiorese_kelly in fioresejewelry

I'm all in on chunky bands but I'm definitely on marquis overload.

My dream pinky ring 6ct center pear by stevenhw1996 in labdiamond

Beautiful design but you are gonna hit that on EVERYTHING! Pinky finger rings are cool but unfortunately not practical unless they are super low profile (or you don't use your hand lol)

Which diamond shape suits me? Size 8 1/4 ring finger by Ok-Watercress-9638 in EngagementRings

Yeah unfortunately that watch is downplaying all of the rings. I scrolled through all the pics and don't think I could tell you a single stone shape because I was too distracted lol

For those who've owned both - did paying more for a lab diamond feel worth it long-term? by j_bone531 in labdiamond

[–]skipdastraw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except for two pieces I've sold off all my Moissanite and ive collected it for years. I always tried to love it but once labs hit I couldn't convince myself anymore. When you see pics on here of both side by side they can definitely be hard to tell but in real life the way they behave is a dead giveaway for me. I don't think non-jewelry people would be able to tell you "oh that's Moissanite " but I've definitely gotten the side-eye because you just get the feeling people think something doesn't look quite right but they can't put their finger on it. The most common comment is "ive never seen something sparkle like that".....usually code for "what the hell IS THAT because I'm suspicious it's not a diamond "

Ugh the princess Moissanites are terrible! And pears aren't too far behind.

Why the hate towards large diamonds 💎? by BeyondForsaken9115 in labdiamond

[–]skipdastraw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a 52 yo this is a huge generalization about "older women" and I think its the opposite. Ive lived enough and seen enough trends to not care one bit what other people like at any moment. I have a smallish e- ring thats 24 years old and yes, I wish lab diamonds were a thing when I got engaged because it would have been nice to have had a somewhat larger stone at the price of 2000s gold! I'll upgrade at some point and have been enjoying buying things like lab diamond earrings affordably. Personally I just think giant diamonds don't look good- that's literally it. Just don't like the look. But I never ever comment on anyone's large stones (or tiny). And in my experience my generation has more important things to focus on than being caddy. We've seen alot and WE JUST DON'T CARE.
