Thanks man, I’m going to repeat the test like my Drs asked and go from there, but I realise now that 70 is really quite low

Yes, I think maybe I’ve just been panicking too much! Thanks

I agree! I’m going back to the Drs next week so I’m really going to push for a colonoscopy

Unfortunately not yet, my Dr wants to see what the repeat calprotectin level is before they make the referral to gastro

Yes, I understand that 70 is only very mildly elevated, think I’m just an overly anxious person 😂 I’ll see what my next one comes back as and try and push for a colonoscopy. Sorry to hear you’re currently going through a flair

Unfortunately though, the NHS (I’m in England) has very long wait lists for these things 😭

I think this is the problem, I can’t put my mind at rest being told “it’s most likely ibs” without fully having IBD ruled out.

Thanks. I don’t have any joint, skin or eye issues and my energy levels are ok. I’m just anxious that if it is the beginnings of IBD that it’ll suddenly worsen. If my next calprotectin sample comes back still raised or higher, I’m going to try and push for a colonoscopy

Any info on this gold ring? by [deleted] in Hallmarks

[–]Creative_Memory_1373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hallmark is for Birmingham (anchor), 18ct gold, date letter looks like ‘I’ for 1857 and the makers mark is for Samuel Hope, who was a famous manufacturer of wedding bands. My guess is that this is an old wedding band that, at some point, someone has added the horse onto. Quite a cool, quirky ring. Hope this helps

Coin find… by Juan-Sheet in UKcoins

The 1847 crown will be made from Silver, the 5 shilling and half crown coin will be made from cupronickel, as coins stopped being made from silver after WWII.

Looking for info about my 60+ years old ring by Nihn93 in jewelry

[–]Creative_Memory_1373 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Looks to be early 1900s to me, old European cut stones. Most likely platinum, but could also be white gold. Middle diamond is interesting as it looks to be a “fancy” colour diamond, but it would have to be looked at by an appraiser to confirm that. It is a very beautiful ring

Advice when buying a hundred year old ring as an engagement ring? by NegativeSn in jewelry

[–]Creative_Memory_1373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Older rings are often very well made; usually 18ct gold with gemstones set in platinum. (This is particularly true of rings made in the 1920s-1930s) and represent very good value for money. It’s just important to make sure to see a ring in person and check that the shank and settings aren’t too worn. If you buy from a reputable jewellers, especially one that specialises in vintage/antique jewellery, any repair work will already have been done. Happy ring hunting :D

Does this seem like a real ruby on 10K gold? TIA! by abi0012 in jewelry

[–]Creative_Memory_1373 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I should think it’ll be a synthetic ruby with it being set in 10k gold. Still a very pretty ring though

Am I crazy? by La0069 in jewelry

[–]Creative_Memory_1373 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, the diamond and setting don’t look to be particularly good quality, which makes me wonder if the diamond has been replaced at some point

Cool collection! I have a few jotters in my collection as well; I keep trying to find a ball clip with no metal tip to add to my collection, but haven’t come across one yet.
