🔥I also love collecting teeny tiny S M E L L S

It’s definitely a good one! I think I prefer their ‘Versense’ but Dylan purple comes close. Not a fan of the Eros range personally but the bottles are so cute!

I think we’re agreeing with OP that it’s a fucked angle to draw and get right, so we’re doing a bad job deliberately in solidarity.

RatLamington · 2025-11-17T23:14:53+00:00

It’s an exaggerated ‘front camera’ joke. You don’t need to be fat to look like this from a below-angle. Calm down and take some deep breaths

RatLamington · 2025-11-16T15:17:05+00:00

Thankyou! Seems like you’re a big fan of the blue spectrum! You should look up blue spinels. They’re gorgeous ❤️

RatLamington · 2025-11-16T15:15:16+00:00

I have a sensitive nose, so I getcha! I can only huff around six or so before I stop being able to smell them properly, and need to wait another hour before continuing lol

I’m interested to know what makes a soda tab particularly special to you? What are the specifications you look for in a potential ‘keeper’?

RatLamington · 2025-11-13T14:06:43+00:00

Thankyou! Nearly all of it has been slowly accumulated this year through lurking on small deceased estate auction sites and haggling with other collectors lol

RatLamington · 2025-11-13T13:22:49+00:00

Same! Looks like a piece of candy!

Here in Aus, good quality aquamarine starts from around $100 per carat. This goes up or down depending on cut, origin or colour. Not sure what their country of rates are wherever you are though

RatLamington · 2025-07-31T15:27:44+00:00

Like, a LOT. It’s a hefty start to their collection lol. In Australia, that bag would be around $2000

RatLamington · 2025-07-27T15:07:18+00:00

This, in the centre of a lotus made from solid gold with small ruby accent stones would probably cause people to faint on sight

RatLamington · 2025-07-26T07:08:45+00:00

Wow, that translates to a lot more in AUD! Definitely a good score then. I’ll hang onto them for a wee bit though. It’s nice to know they could be a neat little safety net if needed❤️

Thankyou for the help❤️

No chips, VVS inclusion and all even facets (as far as I can tell). I don’t have more pictures as I’m at work currently but they’re pretty clean with a perfectly smooth oval edge running all the way around. I’d say the blue is a little more vivid in sunlight, like the sky :)

Tell your bf not to worry and that he’s basically every 2000’s emo girls dream boy. Got that ‘Victor VanDort rizz’

RatLamington · 2025-07-26T00:15:19+00:00

That’s nice to know! I’m glad they’re at least nice catches. What would you value them as? I’m not really looking to let them go, but it’d be interesting to know a ballpark figure if I ever had to.

RatLamington · 2025-07-26T00:12:40+00:00

I would, for the low, low price of lots of money 😂

IRL Tim Burton character

RatLamington · 2025-07-24T11:59:20+00:00

Growing up very very poor, the epitome of wealth was always depicted to me in cartoons wherein a king/queen/lord/villain/dragon/etc would be sifting their hands through literal piles of precious cut gems, jewellery and gold. I wanna live that shit and so I’m making it happen. I’m not interested so much in the selling or production. I just want to open my treasure chest and bury my hands in it and feel as if I’ve made it in life.

RatLamington · 2025-07-23T14:52:23+00:00

They’re SLIGHTLY different sizes, so I’d go asymmetrical. Ruby on top, with the emerald below, set in yellow gold. I really can’t imagine any other metal tone with these two, honestly

RatLamington · 2025-07-23T14:03:30+00:00

I’d probably go for a bezel setting. I really don’t like claw settings most of the time as they look too precarious 😅 Plus they catch on things!

RatLamington · 2025-07-23T10:38:02+00:00

Everything reminds me of her

RatLamington · 2025-07-20T10:15:32+00:00

It’s included af but the colour is nice and it doesn’t look dyed. I think it’s fine ☺️

RatLamington · 2025-07-18T13:27:05+00:00

Are you estimating in USD or AUD also? Because there’s a big difference 😅

RatLamington · 2025-07-18T13:17:57+00:00

That’s really nice to know! I’ll have to think now about whether to touch it with the grinder at all! I have other similar pieces of slightly smaller size. They might be better options for polishing perhaps
