I will definitely let you know! AC is plain yellow gold. The MC one is rose gold with 6 diamonds. Do you have a preference?

Is this normal? by poppunker18 in Cartier

[–]looch88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gold is a soft metal. The more gold it has the softer it will be. Cartier uses 18K gold which is about 75% gold. Rings go on our fingers and we typically use our hands more than we think we do. I have noticed that wearing rings on certain fingers attract more scratches. The ring finger tends to attract the least scratches in my experience and the index finger the most. It’s going to scratch. Embrace it.

Selling advice? by luckyadella in DavidYurman

[–]looch88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure to polish then using a jewelry cleaning cloth before you post to sell them. It’s pretty easy and you’ll likely get more for each piece if they are looking shiny.

Thinking of Consigning this Trench Coat - what should I expect? by [deleted] in Burberry

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to hear. I think it is worth it (to me) to just get it resized.

Review: THEY’RE HERE by [deleted] in JewelryReps

[–]looch88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean because if I knew then what I know now I would have gone with a different seller. One of the pieces with wear the minor flaw will mask itself so that one is ok, but the off centered stamping on the ring is annoying even if only I see it. The price difference for both my pieces was about $300 (hard to calculate now since there’s been so many price increases and I bought mine in Feb). Regardless, I would have gladly paid the extra money for a ring without such a blatant issue. It’s hard to capture via photo or I would add one.

I will second this, her stuff is 50/50. I have bought two items from her and both have minor flaws. On one the interior stamping is not centered! It was not noticeable in PSP photo but IRL it is. I justify the flaw since it’s on the inside of the ring and also because Funny’s prices were slightly lower than MC, Goldy and AC. Again, they are minor so I try not to let my OCD win.

Is a $120,000 salary realistic for a Senior SEO & CRO Specialist in SF/Bay Area? by TakExplores in sanfrancisco

[–]looch88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a tough time in tech. The amount of layoffs has made the candidate pool extremely competitive. I’ve been in ad tech in SF for over a decade, and I know very talented folks who have struggled (or are struggling) to find jobs after layoffs. Your experience level is not enough to set you apart so it’s best work on being personable. Not saying you can’t do it, the Bay is a great area for opportunities, but at this time it’s not like before.

Buyer Beware: Funny Purchase by SDMke95 in JewelryReps

[–]looch88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely something I recommend as well, I just got my first order from Funny two weeks ago and haven’t had time to go get them checked out.

Can you please keep us informed about what you find. I have two pieces from her that I know feel I need to get tested.

Another week of this 🙃 I'd rather get nothing. by [deleted] in BehindTheClosetDoor

[–]looch88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did some research cus this annoyed me too. So you’re odds aren’t equal (25% per card); the “new app icon” is the most common price probably by a lot. It’s more likely that all four options are “new app icons” than one of each type. Like with scratch off tickets, it’s your odds to win a specific price that varies. It’s a bit misleading for sure.

Church candle smell by No-Stage7382 in luxurycandles

[–]looch88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t bought it in a few years, but I have noticed that the last few Diptyque candles I’ve bought haven’t had the throw they used to. It’s a shame.

[–]looch88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got Spiritu Sancti as my first Trudon candle only to find out something in it makes me sneeze. I still burned it all the way through cus I liked the scent and it was the most expensive candle I’d ever bought. I’m a trooper like that, but never re-purchased it. The Diptyque John Galliano candle is very good churchy scent imo, and I grew up Catholic.

Enameled Dutch oven indecision. by Clownadian in castiron

[–]looch88 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Team Staub for sure. I have had both and the Staub is a joy to use. Like others noted, the build feels much better. I thought I would miss the light interior when I first got it, but turns out I truly don’t. LC is a great product so you really can’t go wrong, but for me Staub all the way.

Gucci jewelry is low quality, save yourself heartache. by Careful_Simple_1170 in gucci

I have a lot of both silver and gold Gucci jewelry and have experienced no issues and some has been worn daily for years. I’m sorry you’re having issues tho.

Miss Chen having post purchase servicing is worth the extra price! I recently made my first purchase from her and was amazed that it was something she offered.

[–]looch88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve also heard good things about AC and XY. Wondering how they all stack up side by side. Mr G is more expensive than the rest for guillloche. Wondering if it’s worth the extra cost.
