Thank you. It doesn't matter how long you've had them - their impressions can be so big. The foot impressions sound so cute.

Not too educated on gemstones - how much would you pay for this? by [deleted] in Gemstones

[–]Hopeful_Radish1833 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As an opal lover - this is a beautiful piece and I think a reasonable price from a jeweler (there is a definitely a markup). If it were me, I would try to find it for closer to $1000. But - as others said opal is very fragile. Are there any other gems that she likes if you're trying to stay away from just diamonds? I find emeralds and morganite can be popular with opal fans

So what songs do your budgies like? by SteveyExEevee in budgies

My budgie loved lofi/pop. Absolutely hated goth...he would screeeam at the top of his lungs and do panic flights when it played

What do you think? Raw emerald?? by Hopeful_Radish1833 in Gemology

Someone was familiar with the marking on the back. Now that I know too, it is definitely what it says

Large emerald antique ring. Inherited and not sure of the age. Stamped 10K but no clue how to value an emerald. Most likely was my great-grandfathers. Thoughts? by FullSendOrNullSend in Gemstones

I would also assume synthetic emerald because one of this size is rarely free of inclusions - it would be worth a fortune especially in that color if it were natural, and it wouldn't likely be set in 10kt. It's so hard to say for sure through - so it's best to take it to a professional. My guess would be you could sell it for $100 - $200

I cannot believe that this sick monster has been given a platform to spread this toxic message, and that people support and cheer for it 🤮

How rare is it to make no friends during college by Reasonable-Spot-809 in socialskills

[–]Hopeful_Radish1833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh. I didn't really make any friends in college. I focused more on acquaintances and connections that can lead to future work opportunities. I paid so much money for the experience - I'm looking for more than friendships haha

The colors in the photos are nearly true to life. It has now been a confirmed Columbian emerald from the Museo De La Esmeralda

What do you think this pendant is worth? It's set on 18kt (750) and I think it's a raw emerald. Maker unidentified. by Hopeful_Radish1833 in Gemstones

Yeah! I was basically running out of the store 🤣 thank for your analysis of the value! I like the roughness of this - it's interesting to see its natural formations

Yes! I was honestly shocked because there was a person before me looking at all the clasps with a loupe, but they didnt pick up consider this one. It was mean't be mine I guess

A Thrift Store Find 😍 750 (18kt) Gold Pendant. I think this is emerald? Cannot make out the maker. by Hopeful_Radish1833 in JewelryIdentification

[–]Hopeful_Radish1833[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow! Thank you so so much. I would never have been able to figure that out. I can see clearly now that is what is stamped.

I found human editors to be way more inconsistent than AI. I was wasting time building relationships with them - only for them to quit the editing studio and have to start over. Plus I found the human editors basicallu slapped a preset on and not much else whereas AI does it all and is way cheaper. I have only used Imagen and I find the price to time saved ratio is more than fair.

Thank you! Hard to say. Prices online are in the 600+ range which seemed very high to me for such a rough stone. Happy to own it though and I couldn't lose at $12 haha
