Round or oval stones usually have more prongs on the settings and the shapes don’t have sharp edges. If the stone has good proportions I think it is less likely to get damaged. If you have the good insurance that covers damages to the diamond, no worries.

Yea the chipping at the corners due to the prongs on the setting was the info I kept running into as well. The stone has excellent proportions at least, so I should be as safe as I can be on that front hopefully. If not, I'm for sure getting insured based on the earlier responses. Coincidentally, I'm also going with a tri-stone setting (pear setting stones), currently in design phase

This is great and reassuring to hear! I definitely hope it holds up to the test of time (PS: it's probably not as big as it seems it's just a close up from one of the initial presentation videos, but the only detailed image I had on hand)

The size of the diamond doesn’t matter, only the size of the heart that gives it.

I don’t think I’m allowed to post the thing I bought so I’ll post the accessory I bought for the thing that I bought that I cannot speak of.

I don’t understand the logic behind that. We have a firearms thread, yet we can’t post weapons here

There is never any logic when it comes to weapons. Some have a morbid fascination and others an irrational fear. The rest of us must accept that discussion has to be restrained to particular areas so as not to feed either group.

30fps clearly has some repressed emotions when it comes to Pikachu.

One of my absolute favorites! Miliseme and Virhin Island Water too.
I've noticed the prices have increased exponentially for Creed lately. Nice pickup.

Definitely, the 3.3oz bottle used to retail for $415, now, its $445. About a 7% increase.

I guess mine would not qualify for either as it’s not a firearm but it is a weapon.

I was hoping it was bigger. We have a built in on our deck that we don't use, and my wife thought it would fit perfectly. If we planned on staying in this house, I'd have a mason come over and build one into the space

Getting the new TV delivered Tuesday and I don’t really want to deal with mounting it on the basement concrete wall so need a TV stand long enough to accommodate an 85” TV. They are expensive or crappy or both so… I decided to summon my inner Amish!
