Oh, no, no, no Sesha - I was agreeing with you ! And you didn't make me feel guilty, although part of me sure does.

Part of me feels like I should go to "jewelry jail" if I tamper with a JKT. But, you all say, the JKT bezel is the most important part and I agree. That is valid & I need to wrap my mind around that before I ship it off.

Thanks again, all.

When you say it looks too big do you mean because its quite high off your finger? Will the new shank lower the bezel?

No, it's not high off the finger, that part is very nice. Just a very wide look, due to a wide split split shank.

Oh, do you know how I edit my thread headline? I don't like how I worded it. Tx.

Do you find high protein helps?

I don't know if you can edit your thread title. I'm useless at this sort of thing

I do find eating more protein helps. I'm definitely not a carb girl.

On the weight loss, protein helps keep you fuller longer because it takes longer to digest. As does fiber, so if you eat a high protein and high fiber diet (plus drink a lot of water!) you'll eat a lot less.

I really should follow my own advice, but I like sweets too much.


As for the JKT...I don't know. This is a hard one. If you aren't wearing it, I feel like it's pointless to keep it. I know this from personal experience unfortunately. I had a custom item made by her, the bezels were a mess, and it was much bigger than anticipated. I wore it once besides to try it on. I guess I've come to the conclusion in my years of collecting, that if it doesn't get worn, it's not doing anyone much good. I thought about having someone fix the bezels, talked to people about doing it, and just came to the conclusion that I should just leave it alone.

But certainly not just because it's a JKT. I think she's a half decent designer, but the execution, at least in my piece, was deplorable. I would not work with her again or purchase any of her items.

So, my advice is to think about it. I tend to write lists of pros and cons so I can see it in front of me instead of just thinking about it. That usually helps me make a decision instead of not doing anything.

Honestly, Sonoma, I see exactly what you mean in the design, and it would bug me too. I would not be happy with that either.

Great tip! Thank you

Thanks so much, MGB & all ! I really appreciate it.

I'm so sorry you didn't like your bezels & all ! Wow.

Oh, topic headline of this thread should have read:

(yes, I saw the benchguide,question still)

not what I put up.

Sorry for the typo.
