Wax Mold / CAD Second Thoughts

A few second thoughts I’m having:

  1. Picture 4 is the band inspo. I asked for a 3mm semi-flat band, but I’m underwhelmed with how small the engraving and stones are in person.. it’s making me second think getting the engraving and stone design and going for something more simple.
  2. This is a size 9, but I’m noticing my fingers have a lot of skin on them and causes bunching. Anyone else with larger fingers in here? Should I size up .25 or .5? I have heard that thicker bands might be harder to fit than thinner ones.

What do you all think? Also, if anyone has examples of engraved engagement rings, please post pics in the comments!

EDIT: I also want to mention that I want this ering to be unique, so I thought engraving would be a way to do that. How did you guys make yours unique?

What kind of green gems to use for engraved band?

I’m working with David Klass on my e-ring, but I’m looking for a particular color green for my flush-set gems. They will compliment the engraving to look like leaves.

David said he doesn’t think green diamonds come that small, but suggested Tsavorite garnets, but I’m looking for a more peridot green, like in the third and fourth picture.

However, when I looked up peridot in jewelry, I read that they aren’t well suited for everyday wear since they are pretty soft gems.

Any suggestions? If anyone has gold rings with green gems, could you drop them in the comments so I can see how well the colors work together?

Thank you!

credit score post rehab?

My husband’s loans are currently in rehab with Default Resolution. Completed 7/9 payments and will make the final payment next month!

I know the credit score should improve, but any personal experiences on how much yours improved and how soon? We plan on buying a home next summer and want to prepare ourselves ahead of time.

Started rehab in Feb with 13k in loans and interest. Currently down to about 10k. Payments are $590/month.

FF charting help please!

My first time and cycle using FF, so I’m a bit confused and overwhelmed with the settings. Blue is my Oura temps and Orange is my bbt thermometer temps. I wanted to compare the two shifts while Oura being my default since I couldn’t trust myself to take oral temps on time/correctly. However, I’m liking the oral data better so far because I feel like the shift is beginning to be easier to see on CD15 to CD16.

Does anyone else chart both? Is there a way for me to change which data I want for FF to consider for interpretation?

I’m also wondering if I should make my oral temps default because I feel like it caught my ovulation temp rise on CD16 whereas Oura is slower to rise. What do yall think?
