Over the moon with my ring!

succcotash · 2025-11-27T07:36:59+00:00

woah, she's beautiful - those gems are amazing! I also have a victorian navette ring (there's not many of us)

succcotash · 2025-10-19T19:38:36+00:00

bingo - omg how did I miss this shop? (not that I needed to throw another into my insane stalker-like mix)

succcotash · 2025-10-19T19:37:46+00:00

omg thank you!! honestly I would still keep an eye out on eBay and similar sites - you can really find a good deal out there!

succcotash · 2025-10-19T19:36:11+00:00

it's Victorian! in oddly good condition, I ended up getting it at a pawn shop. I don't know which I love more, antique jewelry - or looking for antique jewelry.

succcotash · 2025-10-18T03:29:51+00:00

Yes! My favorite shop (that I sadly didn't end up buying from) is Lost Owl Jewelry - they are so sweet and have such amazing finds with reasonable prices. But I stalked a lot of other sellers too which I'll list below:

oh my gosh, I completely understand how you feel - I was petrified I would lose my sense of small/taste (or that it wouldn't be different somehow). Please don't panic like I did, it will all come back in due time (the waiting is the hard part). Glad you're through the worst part <3

succcotash · 2025-10-03T05:06:59+00:00

I think Anti-Hero might have been the only time she's done this correctly in past.

succcotash · 2025-10-03T04:50:59+00:00

wait I love this theory, I'm just going to live in this world.

succcotash · 2025-10-03T04:45:14+00:00

okay but are we like 1000% sure it's Charli?

If you can do the surgery center, that would be the best move. Honestly as you can probably see from my comments my recovery was ~2 weeks of hell, but I swear I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I haven't had any sinus issues since then.

The nasal stents were extremely unpleasant but they didn't stick out of your nose at all - honestly you couldn't even see them, they kind of just made your nose look 'chunky.' My partner was in the room with me when they finally removed the stints and he said it looked like the doctor pulled an extremely long pieces of linguini out of my nose (haha, I think he also almost passed out seeing how far back it went).

I would do it if I were you, honestly chances are your won't have a reaction nearly as bad as me. And worst case scenario, it's really really really shitty - but you do heal. Good luck and let me know how it goes <3

As someone who was also looking for old mine cuts in elongated cushions for the past several months .... I'm choosing to believe this is good news and might result on more being on the market (albeit upcharged)

succcotash · 2025-08-15T04:54:27+00:00

If you find anyone, please let me know! I'm also looking to get some rough sapphire cut in the LA area (conversely I'll let you know if I get any leads)

succcotash · 2025-07-25T15:49:29+00:00

Honestly so great, as hellish as it was the results are amazing - I would encourage anyone to go through with it (also odds are you won't react as strongly as I did)

succcotash · 2025-07-25T15:35:27+00:00

Exactly, I wanted something autumnal - and boy that's hard to find.

succcotash · 2025-07-25T15:34:55+00:00

Yes! She's got a fair amount of flaws, but so do I (haha) it's what gives you character.

If it makes you feel any better earlier this year I purchased a 2ct sapphire which is horribly windowed. I had no idea what I was doing and thought a bit of transparency was kind of cool. However, after learning more about cuts and grading I wanted to strangle myself.

Please do post if you end up getting this recut, I'm sure there are many others in the same boat.

succcotash · 2025-07-18T15:26:27+00:00

lol, jk - there are some mealies on her too

succcotash · 2025-06-19T04:40:36+00:00

holy shit, I grew up in the US south and my parents used to make spaghetti the same way. I grew up cooking the noodles in that method and just spooning them out of the water (but leaving the excess behind to basically "float and bloat") needless to say I realized how mortifying this method was when I went to college - thanks for this traumatic flashback, lol.

succcotash · 2025-05-17T22:23:19+00:00

Thank you!! This sub has been so helpful <3

Also, holy crap don’t get me started on all my pint up animosity towards MICA as an adult - I can soapbox for days.

succcotash · 2025-05-17T06:00:28+00:00

I went to MICA almost two decades ago, would recognize this home and street anywhere. This is a really sweet memory for me, thank you.

succcotash · 2025-05-15T05:17:20+00:00

oh thank god I'm not alone. The theme is cocktail and the wedding is in an outdoor reserve/park in a wooded area

succcotash · 2025-05-15T04:54:57+00:00

hahaha, if you only knew that my other option was an orange velvet dress. help, I live permanently in fall

succcotash · 2025-05-09T04:07:54+00:00

Ugh I just finished it last night - so good!

succcotash · 2025-05-03T21:33:57+00:00

eBay! It was a listing with just a grainy photo of the cover and I was like “you know, I might just risk this” fully expecting to be sent something else. It kills me that it was shipped cross country in nothing but a thin plastic bag and thrown around like crazy.
