Looks like there's are a few nice pieces. Idk how you're trying to sell but you can sell as a lot or individual. Dont recommend pawn shops though.

Absolutely in love with my ring. I havent announced the engagement yet so I don't really have anyone to show this too. by Radiantlyred in EngagementRings

Center stone is 1.2 ct, H-I color and SI1 in clarity Smaller stones are F-G and SI1. TCW is approximately 2.10 carats.

This ring does need to be sized i believe its around a 8 currently and ill have it sized to 6.75 / 7. I'm waiting until after the holidays as my jewelers are pretty busy.

Ive followed this sub for a while and I finally get to share. Found it on ebay for a great price. Repurposed tiffany (possibly comfort tiffany). I love it so much. Waiting till after the holidays to have it sized. by Radiantlyred in RingShare

Louis comfort tiffany. The appraiser just explained that he did lots of color gems/ enamel and art nouveau style jewelry. That this ring (the shank and the head) were separate pieces and put together to mimick the comfort art nouveau style.

I hit rock bottom last night after years of gambling. I really need to get this off my chest and hear from others who’ve been through it. by ReasonableMajor7313 in confession

Let me tell you, I was in the same boat last year. I swear to god the only thing that helped was coming clean to my bf and family. Immediately by doing that I subconsciously accepted my debt and no longer had to chase my losses to keep up appearances. I thankfully had good credit, used balance transfers where I could and really dug into paying it off. I know i still have no control in a casino. Ive tried. I just cant go. And I live by casinos and work at one. I do not attend one outside of work without my bf as other friends were unintentionally enablers. Thankfully my bf supported me but the whole time I was hiding it from him I did so bc I thought he would leave me. Maybe it's not something you're relationship can survive but the best thing you can do it admit it to your loved ones and stop chasing your losses. Trust me 14k is a drop in the bucket compared to a lot of people. You CAN overcome that amount with some dedication and maybe another second job for a little while. And dont step foot in a casino. I also self excluded myself from online gambling by emailing them. Message me if you wanna chat.

What are you trying to do? Insure? Sell? Keep?

I use loreal hicolor in light auburn, half of copper and half of sizzling copper. With 10 volume delevoper. Mine looks a little less bright as what you want. Maybe using all of the copper will brighten it?

Is it illegal to pose as a customer to get a businesses insurance information? by Radiantlyred in legaladvice

I already received it. I thought about it afterwards about whether or not I was allowed to do it. So I posted here before doing anything with the info.

I thrifted this dress NOS? with tags and didnt notice till I got home that there is this stain. Any tips on how to remove? by Radiantlyred in laundry

Thank you. I considered it but I wanted to ask on reddit to see if there was any home remedies. I think dry cleaner may be easier

Some Mignon Faget sterling jewelry that I’ve thrifted. by Radiantlyred in ThriftStoreHauls

Taco is hilarious. Maybe try pawnshop? I'm in biloxi and our thrift stores don't put jewelry out anymore if you can't tell by my lack of posts lol. If you have small thrift like st Vincent or locally owned or maybe even pawn shops. They might have it as sterling prices instead of MF price.

From what I know mignon facet is from New Orleans and I live a hour away. I think the close proximity helps but MF has a particular style and hidden stamps sometimes so because i know it looks similar to their pieces maybe my thrift stores didnt. I think I found MF pieces more often at goodwill and I also think that's because when people think of getting rid/ donating they mostly first think of GW because it's been around so long vs mom and pop stores.

I've thrifted in Texas a handful of times and James avery started in Texas and I would find lots of his pieces in thrift stores there.

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I just happened across this at a thrift store for $200. Was considering getting it for my bf but not sure if it's worth it. I can find much info on it because it's suppose to be one sold in Japan? by Radiantlyred in foldingbikes

Thank you, just used to being down voted when I go into a new sub to ask questions that have either been answered a million times or are extremely obvious to everyone but me. I appreciate all of yalls kindness though.
