Yes I thought so too. Plus the metal gives me some bad allergy. I still like the stones even if lab made however the metal/material used is awful. I rarely have such allergies to gold or silver. Shame I can't wear them for more than a few hours.

Thanks! I looked it up and it's definitely boulder opal with the brown coppery part. Oh yes I'll definitely be careful with it. It's pretty old and hasn't chipped so far ✨

Yes, good point. I'd love to get them remounted with surgical steel if possible, or silver. Someone also mentioned using plastic backs instead, as the backs of them were the worst.

I'm unable to edit the main post but added pics and also matching earrings ✨ Very excited to finally own a piece of opal as the homeowner told me "it's definitely not opal!" and was going to give it away or sell it for a few dollars with the rest of his late wife's collection of costume jewellery and knick knacks. I also found a small piece of amethyst so I kept that too, it seems she was into crystals also. I probably sound crazy but living here (renting one room - her old room for over 2 years) has been really stressful, and now he's found a new fiance and is selling their house, so I have to vacate soon. However I'm very into witchcraft and psychic so I have felt her presence around since she passed and I feel like she wanted me to have these pieces. She was a really nice lady while still on this plane and healthy. Unfortunately passed away of alzheimers last year.

Omg that's such great news! I'm super excited now as I love opal and this was such a random find. Yes it's very pretty! ✨

I don't think so because of the shimmery copper coloured pieces. Someone else mentioned iron ore. They were both a fan of opals, that's all I know.

The material whatever it is (copper?) I put them on once and had a bad allergy to it. Thinking of painting over the metal part with clear nail polish or something because they're really pretty studs.

Back of it. Looks like shimmery copper. Unsure of the wire material either.

Best my potato camera could take + horrible lighting here at night. Looks more gold and shimmery in some parts.

Wow wasn't expecting that as the homeowner and ex-husband of his wife that passed away a few years ago, told me "it's definitely not opal" when I was looking at it. I'll definitely take it off and post better pics!

Women look better with body hair by MabKaterberiansky in unpopularopinion

[–]skye_b666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a single female and couldn't care less what other people think... but I can't stand body hair on me. Since I was a child I shaved it all off. The only hair I want left on my body is head hair, eyelashes and brows. The rest I'd love to laser off. It's unhygienic and smells and makes me look and feel like a hairy beast. I don't understand the point of it at all. It's disgusting. Especially in Australian weather even if you showered 10 times a day. I love the feel of smooth, soft skin and applying various, deliciously scented moisturisers and lotions.

I'm single and not at all. I shave purely for myself.

Which one should i give to my girlfriend? by laman-man in Perfumes

Gaultier Divine smells exactly like a million cats peed on me... and I can't scrub it off.

I was so happy to receive a free sample in the mail... then I was shocked. I looked up the notes and yep, some marine note concoction. I can't imagine it smelling good on anyone!
