I'll make it easy for you - take it off!I really hate to put this one - stack rings

Stacks will persist through the 2020s at least
(Or PSers will be the only fuddy-duddyies sporting 'em - also fine by me)

Pricescope community members blame for my aare absolutely tocquisition of a 'stack' and wearing of said stack.I will be one of many PS fuddy duddies sporting the look long after the stack era is passe.
I’ve had a pair of lip piercings now for ~15 years, working in a corporate environment, albeit in technology and in NZ both of which tend to be more relaxed about body modifications.Facial piercings. And those big, stretched ear lobes![]()
I was speaking more for the US. It’s a relatively new thing here in terms of popularity and seems to be a passing fad, kind of like belly piercings were a decade ago. Time will tell though!I’ve had a pair of lip piercings now for ~15 years, working in a corporate environment, albeit in technology and in NZ both of which tend to be more relaxed about body modifications.
I wouldn’t assume it will go away given it’s been practiced for centuries.
that’s really interesting - the indigenous population have ritual tattooing here and it’s a big thing for the Pacific Islands as well so maybe it’s got more stickability here?I was speaking more for the US.

I'd be happy to be wrong but maybe one day halos will be viewed as old fashioned.
I'm still a little testy that my jeweler talked me out of a halo, 9 years ago. He said they were getting dated, everyone had them the past few years and would be totally out in the next couple years.![]()
Yeah, I think there's a 50/50 chance that halos will continue to outlast the predictions of their demise. The fact is, like a padded bra, they are imminently practical. They make your stone look larger. They work well with colorless and colored stones alike. And they provide a good income to jewelers, because let's face it nobody's sending their kid to college on Tiffany-style 6 prong solitaires.
The only reason I can see them going out of style is if people stop preferring larger diamonds. (Never going to happen with this crowd obviously.)
To be honest, because of the whole Meghan Markle thing, I feel like there's a good chance that halos will outlast three stone rings. If three stones become super popular, and it looks like they're going to be, they may flame out/become dated in 5 years.
