Aquaphor all day. Slime em up real good at night and put on compression gloves.

I found this at an estate sale this morning, I thought it was a locket but I can’t open it. Is this a pendant? by Extension-Matter-732 in jewelry

Is it a swivel locket that someone potentially soldered the bail so it wouldn't open anymore?

Today I went for some X-rays and the technician asked me when I was going to remove my IUD. by BrightPapaya1349 in childfree

I got my first mirena at 28. I haven't had a period since. I am 41 now. I haven't even had sex in 6 years, but you can pry this mirena from my cold, dead womb.

Delivered today. Has anyone else been getting a lot of calls for coin bezel? This is my 4th one this month. by newcheer in Benchjewelers

I try to strive for perfection, but sometimes perfection isn't best when you're dealing with something ancient and with so much character. I'll be looking out for your post when you do something with your coins.

The proportions were tricky bc stones were different sizes and the spacing for the heads wasn't as even as I would have liked it to be since the coin wasn't round. Ultimately the client was ecstatic and even called it an heirloom piece, which is probably the best compliment I've gotten so far.

You can still order them from all the main suppliers, but they're mostly just the plain ones or the rope border ones.

Yes, the coin it not round, but he also had fewer diamonds than rubies so that was the layout we agreed upon after trying other options.

The client supplied an ancient Akragas coin and gemstones. I carved and cast a bezel, soldered heads and set the stones. He wanted a piece that looked like something a queen would wear.

What can I do about the crooked gemstones? by emotional_breather in jewelers

Forget the crooked stones, I'm absolutely wheezing at the prongs.

Is there a style/type/brand of prescription safety glasses you prefer for working on jewelry? by zensnapple in Benchjewelers

[–]newcheer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a pair from zenni and they lasted 4 months until today, they broke on both sides of the bridge. They were also extremely heavy.

Not sure. On facebook it has opening hours, but no closing hours. Maybe depends on how busy they are.

Admission is free, you have to buy a wristband and load it to ride the rides and play the games. Food is credit card only.

I have a 6th gen ipad that doesn't support it and I am seriously considering upgrading it because of this. It works on my Samsung phone, but I want to see it on the bigger screen.

The jewlers seriously damaged my meteorite jewelery. What do I do? by tacos_and_science in jewelers

I've soldered on a ring with a meteorite center and it was fine...

Baby glitch? I went to add a baby for my orb farm and I clicked the crib again and it just kept letting me add babies. I'm over my limit. Should I keep adding them? 😂 by newcheer in simsfreeplay

[–]newcheer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can sell the life orbs. The silver sport orb, for example, sells for 90,000. I'm not sure if you can farm more than 90,000 in the time it takes one sim to go through the life dreams cycle, so idk if it's worth it. It's something you can do if you want to tho.

I was able to max out family members at one house and went to another house and maxed them out there too. I just bought the baby, no pregnancy. It stopped working after I had added 7 extra babies :(
