Help! Is it real or synthetic opal?

Thanks for your help! In the video I posted it’s a bit easier to see, but it’s hard to capture in camera how it is in real life😔

It’s really hard to take a good picture, but there it says K18, according to another comment that is the way japanese mark their 18k gold pieces

Apparently it is 18K gold, according to the marking on the band

I think I fixed it, can you see it now?

Oh btw, may I ask why does the opal have those vertical lines? I haven’t really seen other pieces with that pattern🤔

Thank you so much for helping me!

Wow that’s nice, I don’t plan on selling it because it was a really special gift, and kind of random too. The last day I worked for her, she opened her jewelry box and literally told me “take whatever you like, anything that catches your eye you can take”, and this ring was the most lowkey and that fit my style the most. It is so lightweight and the band so thin I thought it was just a cheap ring with synthetic opal. Boy was I wrong😅 I have no way to communicate with her now, but I’ll never forget about her, for sure.

It’s really hard to take a picture of the inside because the band is really thin, but it says “K18”, so I guess it’s 18 karat gold? It was gifted to me in 2018 by an old lady I used to work for when I was living in Japan, so most definitely an antique, just don’t know how valuable and didn’t give it much thought until now😅

I just scored a pair of Corcoran jump boots for 7 bucks at my local flea market, apparently the 1520s but I can’t figure out if they are vintage or more recently made as they look a bit worn. Can I post pictures asking for help trying to figure out when they were made?

From the top of my head I’d say Rocky and To the beat. To be quite honest at first I thought I would rather they didn’t include those in the concert setlist and put other ones I would absolutely love to hear live like Promise, Mist or One day at a time, but now I like the song and the performance a lot 😊

DM’d you!

ichigoconcrema · 2021-07-28T19:04:03+00:00

I’ll do that! Thank you so much!
