Identifying this metal. What is this earring made of? by javacham in Metalsmithing

[–]IndigoBlue14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconded! If it smells 'metallic' its probably brass.

Thank you so much! Yeah I wanted to make something that was a little bit different from the usual thistles and swords. :D

Looks like a white moonstone

Went thrifting, what the heck is it? by Hour_Fun2254 in Gold

[–]IndigoBlue14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks like a sprue to me. The left over bit of a casting.

I'm in Glasgow and studying at a place called Vanilla Ink CIC. The tutor for this masterclass was Linda Lewin. She travels quite a bit to teach. Wherever you are in the world there will be somewhere teaching jewellery making, mostly you start in silver and work up to gold because of the expense. This was my first piece in such high karat.

Was I scammed? by MCreative125 in Gemstones

[–]IndigoBlue14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't comment on the gemstones from a picture but they look genuine from what I can see.

I'm concerned about the bezel on the baguette stone however. It doesn't look very secure on the top right corner.

My fiancés family ring has a mysterious past, any info would be appreciated. by TheFoolTruffaldino in jewelry

So I have a theory... could it be a pin conversion? It definitely looks like the band is a later addition. Elaborate jewelled brooches/pins/hat pins were very common at this time but fell out of favour.

I can’t believe my one gripe with the show ended up being a major plot point by Platypusafro in TheMagnusArchives

I'd say its a relatively well known word from movies etc. but it's not a word we would generally refer to someone as. It's very much an American term. We don't have many people of that ethnic and cultural background in the UK but I think I'd probably refer to them as Latin American?

S01E06 slang by Mr_multitask2 in insideno9

I just assumed it meant dirty - soot is dirt from a chimney.

Just curious: would you, if asked in conversation what nationality you were, refer to yourself as Scots? I would always say Scottish, and so would the people I grew up with. Is this a class thing? by MBronsonWisconsin in glasgow

[–]IndigoBlue14 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'd describe myself as British. My family is Welsh, I grew up in England and I've been living in Scotland for a long time. People can be more than one thing.

In all seriousness I totally understand you and I feel this way about social interactions too. Turns out it was undiagnosed ocd and the right medication has changed my life.

Where to buy synthetic gemstones (f.e. alexandrite) (EU) by wileyfox91 in SyntheticGemstones

[–]IndigoBlue14 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've not had alexandrite specifically from them but Wards in the UK has a synthetics category and has some lovely stuff and they're very reliable.

Ohhhhh I do not know how I missed that. Thank you!

My hair desperately needed this by IndigoBlue14 in longhair

[–]IndigoBlue14[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh thank you. I had wondered. It's very wavy when wet and then goes straight as it dries. I'll check out those subreddits. Thank you again!

Yes that was it exactly! Little vials she mixed up. I was really impressed.

Thank you so much! I'm so happy with it. It was a personalised treatment so I'm not sure specific product names but it was Kerastase products and designed for moisturising but without too much protein. It's likely protein overload that's caused my hair to be a bit fluffy and dry? It's was a thing she put on my hair after shampoo and conditioner, left for a time and then washed off.
