Lab grown will look the same as those pulled from the ground and will give you a bigger range of options than a traditional stone.

Jewelry depot on Richmond Avenue. They are wholesalers and do amazing work with designing too

My husband got mine at Costco. They have colored gemstone options online. If you can’t find what you want, you can call them and work together on the design.

I got engagement rings from our two mothers, got a jeweler to pull the stones and make a new trilogy type ring. Very sentimental, looks amazing, and a lot cheaper than buying something of similar quality.

Can’t recommend anyone specifically. Just wanted to mention an out of the box way we did this in case it inspires anything for you.

Blue Nile was a great experience and value for my wife’s engagement and wedding ring.

They also have a retail location in The Galleria, which makes it convenient for free cleanings and to see some items in person.

I recently purchased a sapphire from Justin (the owner) at Sorbet Sapphires on Instagram. The sapphire was hard to find and the only other vendor that could get one required us to pay upfront without seeing the stone. We got a unheated 3.55 radiant brilliant-cut from Sri Lanka with a certificate. The stone mostly shines light blue, but we’ve seen it shine darker shades of blue, light purple, and even light grey. We had an amazing experience with Sorbet so I highly recommend you reach out to them and just see what they can do for you.

Tiffany and co! Nothing beats the brand and the value .

Disney Streaming Services I completed my interview process with DSS early last week, and was reached out by recruiter that all rounds were strong hires, and they are extending an offer. We set a time to talk on Friday about the offer. However, the announcement of targeted hiring freeze happened on Friday. I was ghosted with no call. What should I expect now? Would I still have chance to be offered?

I grew up poor and was obsessed w financial security.

We are happier than ever making less and saving little. I wasn’t there when my mom was sick and died because I was working and my employer didn’t allow me to be in a mental headspace to be a good person for my family. I can never change that but I can be better going forward.
