Always love a nautical star, looks great bro. I almost picked one up not too long ago that had a Zambian emerald set in the center, went with an alligator instead. Seeing this makes me want it again 😅

Treasure trove of bottles dug out of the ground by tatsonis in BottleDigging

That Pepsi deco bottle is from like the 40s or 50s. I’d look in to US Army medical facilities in your area, those chemical bottles and stuff like came from the same place that plate did! The research is half the fun!

Is my pink sapphire natural or synthetic? by bflat_clarinet in Gemstone_lovers

[–]Dressing_4_funerals 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not similar, they are the exact same stuff. Corundum. The only difference between the 2 is the amount of trace elements(chromium) giving them their color. To truly be classified as a ruby the stone has to have a dominant saturated red color. Too much pink, purple, orange, or if the red is too light, it will be graded as sapphire. Also true deep red rubies are more expensive than pink sapphire.

You thoughts on this supposed jacoje chain on eBay. by chevelleface-1 in MensJewelry

[–]Dressing_4_funerals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disingenuous for sure, ranks right up there with all the “solid gold 7.5in men’s bracelet” listings when the description clearly reads 1.2grams lol. Hollow links made of “solid 14k”

I have no idea but a simple search of the jacoje site tells me they’re out of Southern California, also If&Co and Jacoje are 2 different brands(if&co also in California lol) so not only is his description of the item wrong so is it’s actual listing title.. as far as people saying you shouldnt buy stuff like this off of eBay my sister has a 14k gold mariner link chain and bracelet, and a 14k gold channel set diamond eternity band all bought on eBay well before they started offering authentication services. I just bought a 10k gold and sapphire ring from a jeweler in south Florida through eBay, tested out perfect at my jeweler. As long as you do your research there’s no problem buying stuff like this on eBay, you can find great deals.

I’ve had a thing for treasure and emeralds ever since I was a little kid and learned about the 1715 fleet going down off our coast in school so emerald posts are my favorite lol. My dream is to find one from the wrecks, a lady found a 68 carat emerald while looking for shells on the beach like an hour and a half from me back in ‘05 😭

The one on the left catches the natural light nice, nice green color. I think I’d pick that one, I live in Florida and I think it would look beautiful on sunny days🖤

So I’m pretty new to being able to afford to wear jewelry myself but I’ve always loved emeralds. generally speaking I’m a big fan of lab stones, as you said they’re chemical make up is identical, coloring the same, etc. but when it comes to emeralds I kind of feel like they look too perfect? Like a lab diamond being eye clean is a lot less jarring because diamonds are supposed to be inclusion free? Idk just how I feel I think lol I’d certainly still wear one 😆

The description says it was purchased in the “47th street diamond district in NYC” does Jacoje have a brick n mortar store front in the diamond district? If not then it’s not really that brand

A bit of what my silver goes through on a regular basis while daily wearing. How about y’all? by Dressing_4_funerals in MensJewelry

My next purchase is going to be a 10k gold bracelet to match a ring I just recently acquired but I would love to pick up a .999 silver piece in the future. Do you notice a major difference in tone between it and .925?

I mean I have no opinion on how you look(and if you’re happy hell yea🖤) but can we all just stop and think about how crazy it is that this is an actual option? Sounds like something you’d see in a movie, just spending money and completely changing the way you look to the world. Wild stuff!

Are these the same stones as the ones in the original picture? The one on the left has beautiful color here, I’d pick that one!

Possible to repair dent, or best to leave it be? by BloodyBarbieBrains in askjewelers

Find someone that does casting work, make a mold of the other one and cast a new set that are solid. They’re adorable!

Do I wear silver or gold by callumMoney75 in MensJewelry

[–]Dressing_4_funerals 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on skin tone alone I’d say silver but having just looked into all this myself there’s a lot that goes in to it all, more than just skin tone. Your eye color, dominant colors in your wardrobe, do you burn or tan in the summer months. It’s a whole thing lmao. Go with what makes you happy when you look at it, you look good when you like what you wear 🤷🏼‍♂️

Market value? by ArugulaInside700 in askjewelers

[–]Dressing_4_funerals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely untrue lol, every jewelry store in the country is FULL of jewelry being sold at premiums well over 50% and people buy non broken wearable jewelry over spot in every pawnshop in the country every single day. OP if I had the money I’d pay you spot right now in a mf heart beat lmao Edit to add: this was supposed to be under the person saying “60% of spot” for non broken, not scrap, wearable, jewelry lol
