DeBebians is hands down the best jeweler for both custom work and stock pieces. They have really good pricing. I was connected with them by a friend who has used them for years and have been blown away by my experience with them, the quality of my piece, and the work they’ve done for others that I’ve seen. The way they brought my very specific vision to life is incredible.

You can go to their website and find great stuff, but I’ve honestly had such amazing luck with them just filling out their quote form on their site. You tell them what you want, your budget, etc and they get right back to you. They were started by two best friends I believe over twenty years ago. The guy is the design pro and the woman completely owns stone sourcing (mined or lab, you can get anything from them for stones).

They’re such a “best kept secret” of the gemstone and jewelry internet. Everyone who works with them adores them, they’re just good people. Impeccable quality. Their jewelers are really good and have been with them forever. Debebians.com and their “Get a quote” link is easy to find. Talk to them, haha when you do you’ll understand my hype. Professional and sweethearts!

This needs to exist. Every young warrior needs these tales.

Looks like it is compromised once again? It was fine for me and just a minute ago went back to “Israel” and porn.

Thanks for this dude it’s really good

Long boi

Nasty

100% correct. Incentives matter. Advertising delights no one and skews incentives hard.

I’m so hype for this, thanks for posting! TTFU

It’s actually wild. The addiction is very real.

I want this sooo bad.

Reddit feels like addiction to me, while the fediverse feels exciting and like I’m having real conversations with people.

I have popped on to Reddit a couple of times to help with a couple of subs I’m a part of but god it’s just trash over there to me now…I really don’t want to be there. I deeply resent what they’ve done to it over time.

Oh my god that episode. And then they create the program for the villain to live in indefinitely and all of that, I kind of loved how that storyline played out.

Hahha right “the rebellion!”

Holy shit that would have been priceless.

Yeah I just remember to check every time…I’m sure that’s one of those things that is just a little jenky that will improve with time!

Thanks, SpaceNoodle <3

I’m so impressed with how devs and community members across federated content spaces are handling the technological and communications challenges that are arising as many of us are flocking and trying to talk with each other and grow new communities.

This has got to be a really fun but tough time for those behind the scenes—thank you, all of you!!

And me!!

I’m pretty sure I’m going to delete my three year and ten year accounts and just walk away for good. Honestly I was a little sad all day today, because I have a few hobbies I’m really crazy about and the cooking, baking, gemstone, and gardening communities have felt like home for a long time…but just using lemmy for a tiny little bit, I’m actually really excited! I’m having a much simpler experience here that’s refreshing. I like the content I’m reading.
