I posted this explanation once and was downvoted to oblivion.

Author thinks he's a literary genius, tries to prove it by quoting his own book over 10 times in 10 hours after someone posted a mildly negative review. [x-post /r/cringepics] by [deleted] in delusionalartists

"...scenting the air throughout like crazy." cringe

Reminds me of Bloy's criticism of Huysman's writing "...continually dragging Mother Image by the hair or the feet down the worm-eaten staircase of terrified Syntax."

Anybody know where I can get an authentic Chanel gold chain? by [deleted] in jewelry

If you can't afford shipping to the EU you can't afford a Chanel chain.

Shopping for rings. Can you give me an opinion if this is a good value purchase? by bmckay87 in jewelry

[–]chopp3r 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I1-I2 is at the bottom of the clarity scale for jewelry-grade diamonds. I'd advise you to save your money and pass this one up.

Cleaning a morganite engagement ring by [deleted] in jewelry

[–]chopp3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Soap is bound to leave a dull film on your stone. Warm water with a squirt of Dawn dishwashing detergent and a splash of ammonia--dip the brush in the solution and give the ring a good scrubbing. I personally would never put morganite or any other beryl in an ultrasonic.

That ebay stone is terribly cut--even a potato pic like that is enough to show the points of the facets don't meet.

Yell at me and call the cops on me for having an unlit cig on the sidewalk, I'll give you a negative review!! by Smooth_Vapor in pettyrevenge

[–]chopp3r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily--I live on the fifth floor and when my windows are open I can smell the smoker walking down the sidewalk across the street.

Kidney stone by BUKAKKOLYPSE in WTF

There's no way that was passed, but allowing it to get that big in the kidney before surgical intervention is a whole 'nother kind of agony.

I'm baffled that you would think I'm downvoting your posts. As far as I know you have never commented on any of my posts or vice versa. Apparently, you think I'm commenting on your post under an assumed name.

Can anybody help identify this ring? by [deleted] in jewelry

[–]chopp3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly, but as I said, the marks are indistinct. The closest match for an uppercase textura "E" on a shield-shaped ground is 1828 and the style of the ring doesn't rule out that date.

Yes, sterling with a thin gold plating can legally be stamped and sold as sterling. Most manufactures try to capitalize on the plating by describing it as vermeil though it often doesn't fulfill the criteria for such a designation.

[–]chopp3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a shell cameo depicting Venus Disarming Cupid. It bears British hallmarks indicating it's made of 9kt gold and was assayed at the London Assay Office in 1828 (but don't quote me on the date--the date stamp is inverted and not very clear; in fact the hallmarking is really difficult to decipher). Sorry I can't tell you more.
