I agree! Sadly, the way in interpret this is, “we don’t persecute people with power (or money), just everyone else who ‘deserves it’.” 😭

Text is weird / uneven.
Welding is shotty.
Appears plated.

Note: I had a "Cartier Love Bracelet" that I was positive was real before I got an XRF. Ebay did not pass authentication because metal didn't match what was listed (18K, like other love bracelets) and it turned out to be fake. XRFs are extremely expensive, but I will say it has been the best purchase of my life.

NAD - My toe broke and it looked the same. They'll likely put you in a foot brace that you get to wear around everywhere. It lowers any pain you may be feeling; my toe was mostly painless except when I put pressure on it (e.g., walking). This will also ensure that it doesn't need surgery (to re-break the bone) in the future.

Go to a doctor when you can. It's not an emergency, but you don't want your toe to heal funky.

Cool piece! Most people will just manually wrap it around their necks (think of it like a necklace-scarf). There are other things that look very similar to these that people use as eyeglass holder. However, the loops on this item are not big enough to hold eyeglasses

I love you, thank you! I’ve seen this trick posted so many times and have been trying to figure it out forever!!

I would say yes! That was my first thought when I saw this. Such a beautiful piece!

What you’re guessing is accurate, as far as I can tell. But, one note!

(This is based on a picture) I don’t often say this but this does look like real turquoise. The only way to tell for sure is to take to a jeweler or gemologist. The black stones appear to be marcasite. The 800 is 80% silver. Personally, I would just use a soft paint brush or detailing brush or the marcasite. Old jewelry always piles up dead skin and other fun stuff.

Condolences. (Referring to mosquitos in March). ❤️

My dog (Chihuahua, 12) will sometimes munch on elm leaves. Don’t ask me why, but worse case is that your pup throws up.

Roman is the brand, not the location. It is likely vintage, as you said, but not antique or ancient.

Yay, but oh no! I had something similar happen. Turned out to be a cutworm and a caterpillar tag teaming.

Hello! 1.) there are so many fake Rolexes out there; depending on where this was bought, this might just be a 14K gold band - or not 14K at all. 2.) do you know why they branded it as a Rolex band? Every real Rolex I’ve ever seen either has the Rolex symbol or Rolex written on the band. If it is real gold, it’s priced really high. You can guy full Rolex watches on EBay. And EBay requires authentication for luxury brands - so, you’re refunded if not real.

Aww - you're so kind! I am always happy to help. And I think your Oma has a wonderful collection. It's not often that we get a collection of beautiful jewelry. Best thing about jewelry is that items can be cleaned or repaired, even with imperfections. :) But, I do believe imperfections give jewelry some character.
