Is a moissanite a nice stone? Can it pass for a diamond?

November 26th, 2011

We are shopping around for my engagement ring and the only thing in our price range is a 1/5 carat solitaire diamond.
I am thinking that i should get a different stone, in a real gold setting and just upgrade later.
Has anyone had any experience with moissanite? I want it to look and sparkle like a diamond so it can match my diamond wedding band (passed down from family)
What about white sapphire? I dont like the idea of cubic because i heard they fog and have no brillance.

Also, my wedding band is in platinum. I would like to get my engagement ring in white gold, will there be a difference in color between 14k gold and platinum? what about 18k gold?
Perse, when you say “the extra fire and brilliance will be the first thing to give moissanite away” do you mean that moissanite has more fire and brillance than a real diamond?

for my husband: Cartier or hand-made ring???

November 25th, 2011

Hi, everyone.
I want to ask you especially guys…

If your wife want to get you a wedding band, do you prefer a ring from jewelry shop(if so, cartier or tiffany) or hand-made ring which she makes at whorkshop.

If I think about a quality and warranty, I want to get from Jewelry shop, but hand-made ring will be more special for him.

In either case, It will be a Platinum, simple half-round band, and surprise present!!

Thank you for reading, and I appreciate your kindness!

Mom vs daughter engagment ring battle?

November 24th, 2011

My mom and father did not get married till I was almost 17 (they at the time had been in law school, opening their own firm and raising me and my 3 sisters) any how, my father purposed with a ring had the wedding whole nine yards many years later I got engaged and now married. My father gave my mother a plain solitaire with a diamond a little over 1/2 carrot, when I became engaged I also received a solitaire diamond engagment ring but my diamond is slightly under 1 full ct (a noticeable diffrence) might I add the stone of mine is a family stone passed down. My mother and I live states away but every time I go home to see her she points out how mine is bigger. At one point I took mine off and put it in her jewlery box with hers and she tried to take mine as her own! (which we know it wasn’t bc the size diffrence and one is platinum ones white gold) how do I get her to stop its gotten to the point that I don’t want to wear it to her house bc she is driving me nuts! What do I do?

Sorry for !any typo this was typed on my phone!

Tungsten or Stainless steel?

November 21st, 2011

DF’s new thing is how he wants a tungsten or stainless steel wedding band instead of a platinum one. He says it’s more of a “man ring.” (? don’t ask)

Question is: For those of you who have tungsten or stainless steel rings, what do you like about them? What do you not like about them?
Oh, and women should feel free to answer on behalf of their husbands if they have any useful knowledge about this.
I’m looking at pricing info online– these rings are so unbelievably inexpensive! Wow, I’m really getting off easy… I almost feel bad. But he said he didn’t want platinum… so I’m just giving the man what he wants :)
He says, “forget the stainless steel.” He says he likes Tungsten or Titanium. Thanks for the steel comments, but further commentary is no longer needed on that.

What metal is my engagement ring?

November 20th, 2011

The inside says 14k plat Does that mean 14 k gold (which would be white gold in my case) or platinum? I’m wanting to get my wedding band in the same metal

My husband never got me an engagement nor a wedding band and has promised to get me a ring. He told me to pick it out. Well, what do you guys think? It’s 18KGold and Platinum. I am really not a fan of things that look Silver or Platinum for that matter, but this ring style i couldn’t resist. What is your opinion?

13 and 15 year old engaged?

November 17th, 2011

okay, now before i go on, i wanted to say that this question is very serious, so please, im begging you, just give me serious answers, please don’t call me a slut, whore, golddigger, whatever, because i really wanna figure this out. ok, so im 13 and my boyfriend is 15. we’ve been going out for years now, and we love eachother alot. one day, we were hanging out at the mall, and while we were walking, he got down on one knee in front of me. i was really shocked and couldnt think. he opened a little box and there was a platinum diamond ring! he said, “baby, will you marry me?” like i said, i couldnt think, but i still had enough sense to say yes. i know that sounded weird, but if i said no, i would lose the chance of a lifetime. he was the most amazing guy ever. he’s a guy that other women wish they had. he’s really sweet, and funny, he’s never been mad at me, we’ve never fought, and he protects me ALOT. so, im engaged to him now, and we both decided that we can get married as soon as im of the age to. so in 3 years, when im 16, we’ll go to the Children’s Orphans Court, and try to get permission to get married. if so, then we’ll get married and move in a house together. this sounds really weird for a 13 year old to be saying, but we’re both really mentally mature. so we’re just planning ahead. okay, i’ve told you everything, so can you guys give me some tips and tricks and stuff on how we should make the engagement, wedding, etc. go or whatever??? lol idk how to exactly word it but i hope you know what i mean. oh yea, and we’re both getting good jobs. he’s going into the welding business, and im going into the waitress business in a really good restaurant. (don’t be fooled, waitresses in good restaurants get paid alot!) so, help me guys!!!
i dont understand why some of you cant just answer my question like some of these people. for some of u who keep saying im 13 and too young to get married, IM NOT GETTING MARRIED AT 13!!! IM GETTING MARRIED AT 16!! jeez. and he already works in a welding company and earns over 1000 dollars a week, so i think in 3 years, he’d have enough for all of this. now, please, just answer my question. god.

Baby Name Game – Very fun!?

November 15th, 2011

I love doing baby name games/fantasy families, so here’s one! Sorry, it’s kinda long…

1. You and Your partner (what are your names?) have been together since the tender ages of 10 & 12.
He is now 24 and you, 22. Whilst on holiday in Queensland, Australia, you and your partner are relaxing by the candlelit pool. He drops down on one knee and pulls out a stunning platinum engagement ring. He then proposes and you obviously scream “Yes!!”

2. You come home a week after the proposal and your parents have got you an early wedding present!
A beautiful new home for you and your fiance. What does it look like? Where is it?

3. Your wedding day arrives and you find out you are 2 months pregnant! What is your wedding like? e.g. setting, who is his best man? who are your bridesmaids? Your maid of honour?

4. You thought that your wedding day was the best day of your life but when your 6lb 7oz baby boy is born on 10th February, you are both lost for words. What do you call your beautiful first born?

5. When your son is 6 months old you decide to get a puppy – you had one your whole life up until a year ago, it was your best friend and you want your son to have the same sort of lifelong companion. What breed? What is it called?

6. At the age of 2, your son is in nursery and you feel sorry that he is an only child. You and hubby decide to try for another baby…or two!
On October 13th your newborn twins (1 boy, 1 girl) enter the world. What are their names?

7. Your son is now 4 and the twins, 2 years old. You have always wanted a big family and start trying again.
This time it takes you alot longer to concieve. A year later and you become pregnant and the following summer, your little angel, a girl arrives 3 weeks premature at 4lb 2oz. Her first name should mean “natural” and middle name “beauty.”

8. A while on, your twins want a pet each. However, it isn’t a dog or cat.
Your son gets an African Grey Parrot! What is its name?
Your daughter gets a beautiful Yemen Chameleon! She calls it what?

9. You always wanted a big family so you decide to start trying again.

Your eldest is 15, the twins are 13 and your daughter, 11. When you become pregnant with triplets, it’s a shock for everyone. You’ve gone from not having a baby around for years to 3 all at once!
3 beautiful baby boys arrive on April 18th and you and hubby are overjoyed!
The first born was a healthy and big at 6lb 4oz. However he was starving the other two of oxygen in the womb. This leads to complications.
Your 2nd born is smaller at 4lb 1oz. There are some complications. His first name should mean “fighter”
The third born son is weak and tiny at only 2lb 2oz. He has been starved of oxygen and is scrawny and weak. He manages to pull through and although he develops slighly slower than his siblings, grows up to be a healthy young man. His first name should mean “strong” and middle name “warrior.” He then has another middle name, this can be whatever you want.

10. With 7 children you have finally reached your limit!
Only to find out, you’re pregnant again. This time you have another baby boy. He is perfect and as soon as you see him you know your family is finally complete. His first name can be whatever you like, his middle name means “special.”

Over the years you and your family have more additions in the form of pets.
You get:

2 boa constrictor snakes – called?
3 bearded dragons – called?
another dog – what breed, name, colour?
A snow white kitten – called?

This is a really big family – sorry! Hope you enjoy it! x

1. Me: Maya Noelle Rathbone
Him: Stephen Robert James Rathbone

Has your husband ever asked you to marry him again?

November 12th, 2011

Yesterday evening, my husband gave me the shock of a lifetime!!! We we’re out on our bi-weekly date our favorite restaurant (Ruby Tuesday). He got down on one knee, and proposed to me in front of the whole restaurant!! I was so shocked, that I couldn’t say a word. The whole restaurant started clapping… and I said “YES”!

What I was not expecting was to get a ring out the proposal!! My husband went to a local jewelry store, and purchased a lovely platinum engagement ring, and matching band all by himself. That’s what shocked me. Apparently he’s been saving money for over a year. I am very proud of him.

The last thing that shocked me was he asked me to plan the wedding we should have had 8 1/2 years ago. Our wedding day was a disaster. He doesn’t care, where, when, or how. Just as long as he gets to say his vows to me again. I started crying again.

I won’t start planning until after the first of the year, because I’m pregnant with twins. I’ve got pregnancy brain at the moment.. LOL!

So ladies, has your husband ever asked you to marry him again? Please no rude answers. Thanks.

Any jewlers out there? How much can I get for this ring?

November 10th, 2011
