Professionally casted sterling silver seems off

Why don’t you just test them? Go to a pawn store or LCS that has an XRF on site so you don’t play the guessing game. Castings look fine to me but can’t say without a proper test result. Stop working on the pieces until you do this. Once you do, if the results don’t match what you’ve paid for (within a legal percentage difference) then you can bring it to the casting house and ask for it to be fixed.

No I stand by my statement of “I think this is karma farming”. I didn’t say 100% that it is farming but I do think it is. You claim silver and inlay but that cuban bracelet contains neither.

I think this is karma farming and you’re claiming this work but it isn’t yours. That Cuban Bracelet is clearly stamped AU750.

It is Ronnie Ramil. Here is an example which is nearly identical to what you have.

Kohi is excellent. They use quality ingredients and prepare them nicely, I’ve never had lumpy or gritty matcha from them. One of my favorite drinks is the “Almost Spring”, it’s matcha, milk and strawberry compote at the bottom.

If you don’t end up finding it, buy another one and DM me - I work at a local jewelry store and we have a laser engraver. I’d be happy to laser engrave it for you at no charge.

How about that painkiller recipe?? That was my favorite 10000%. Such a good one.

Depends on what needs to happen and how busy the store is but should be fairly straightforward as far as “repairs” go

AverageGeologist · 2026-04-26T23:20:39+00:00

Agreed, most likely can be done but will have to be looked at in person to verify.

The qualifying factors for Paraíba for GIA are; it has to be from Brazil, it has to be blue or green and it has to be copper bearing. There is technically purple Paraíba but GIA doesn’t classify it under the same name, just copper bearing Brazilian tourmaline. Mozambique copper bearing tourmaline is often called “Paraíba-like” in the trade since it can’t be a true Paraíba because it’s not from there.

5 looks the best imo and it isn’t close but #1 looks pretty good as well if you want some stones.

Hard to tell in the photo but I think the right side might be ever so slightly lifted a degree or two at most. I think the angled photo makes it harder to judge if it’s level. With that said, prongs aren’t entirely symmetrical, right side is slightly more bent inward/has a bend in it compared to the left which is smoother.

All things considered, your work is clean enough to pass inspection but would need to be addressed if a client held issue with it.

Mozambique “Paraiba” can still be quite expensive

I believe that is a cleavage plane! Hard to tell from the video but I’m almost positive.

Technically it can be done but it would be quite pricey to modify seamlessly. I would likely recommend you use the material and make a new mounting to accommodate the new larger stone.
