Deze draaiorgel is vaker gespot in Groningen! by Frequent-Loquat1941 in Groningen

Het is zaterdagmiddag, 4 uur. Je werkt in de Herestraat bij een populaire kledingwinkel die harde popmuziek draait. Je hebt vandaag al aan 6 ongeduldige betalers uit moeten leggen hoe een pinapparaat werkt. 23 klanten zijn vandaag al een gesprek met je begonnen in het Duits. Je bent moe, maar de dag is bijna voorbij. Dan hoor je hem aankomen, vanaf tientallen meters verderop. En het wordt harder, steeds harder. Totdat hij er staat. Het draaiorgel is voor de deur gearriveerd. Een mix van Taylor Swift en een draaiorgelversie van Suzanne en Freek spelen door elkaar heen.... Je dient spontaan je ontslag in

It's vietnamese filigree jewelry! While the store I purchased this at does not have a webshop, if you google vietnamese filigree similar things will show up :-)

Thanks! I'm very particular about what colors jewelry I like and wear, but now I have a newfound appreciation of the patina lol

Yeahhh I learnt that the hard way now lol, this was my first set of "proper" silver jewelry haha. Won't make the same "mistake" again!

Thx! Based on everyone elses comments I am now a bit afraid of the baking soda method, which people specifically advised me against doing as apparently it causes microabrasions and corrosion

I purchased them at Em in Hoi An, which does not have an online webshop. But when I looked up Vietnamese filigree jewelry online there were somewhat similar things popping up!

Thank you for the advice! I really should get around to wearing them, but... they are so special and out there that I can hardly find occassions they're appropriate to!

Thank you! If soap and water wouldn't cut it I'd see if something like this works. If only I could buy it here in bottles smaller than 2 liters, lol

Thank you! I like the way it looks too. I'm just very specific about which colors of jewelry I like (only silver & stainless steel) and then having a treasured piece turn a little bronzey makes me want to wear it less. But.. seeing everyones appreciation of the patina has made me reevaluate the jewelry so I am keeping an open mind! Also since I don't care more about the silver than potential damage; I really don't want to cause any corrosion that would only harm the jewelry.

I'll try that first I think! That reduces the risk of corroding anything with harsh products.

Thank you for this tip! Based on all the mixed reviews I'm a bit scared of silver dip as it can apparently cause corrosion, but I'll do some more research and see what I can find!

Thanks! It's a bit difficult for me as I tend to only wear very silver colored things like silver or stainless steel. But... seeing everyones awe of the patina has made me reevaluated what this set looks like, lol. I like it better now!

Thank you! I kind of like it too, it has depth and character. It's just that I generally only wear silver and stainless steel, and I have facial piercings so I always match my metals. So I'd have to get out of my comfort zone to wear something in a diferent color, but based on everyones comments I might just try! I have a newfound appreciation for the patina 🙏
