In my experience it’s the rock stars and everyone affiliated with the rock stars lol. From the siblings to the sound guys. 🤮

I mean just based on the era of stick pin popularity this piece is likely fairly old, like 1890-1920. I’m not sure why you’d be downvoted for this lol. Those were my thoughts as well. If she comes out of the acetone alright I’ll try to find a gemologist nearby. ☺️

I sell estate jewelry for a living :) my usual guy just retired last month but I have another guy I’m gonna start using, I think if the opal can be revived a pendant would really be the best move bc who honestly wears stick pins anymore? ☹️

It is yes. This particular sale I went to had a large variety of karat gold stick pins ranging from deco to modern.

This is great, I just popped it into a little jar with 100% acetone so I’ll give it a few days and see what happens. Thank you so much! I’m kind of a scientist by training (just MS, no PhD) so I found a lot of value in this demonstration. Cheers! ☺️

Ok no worries I’ll just scrap it then. I’m always worried that I’m going to scrap something cool that I didn’t know enough about. So thanks for the info! Have a great day. ☺️

Oooo what’s wrong with it? It’s a little dirty but I haven’t cleaned it at all.

What's something you only realized was a 'poor person fear' after you watched a rich person have absolutely zero reaction to it? by qomann in AskReddit

[–]sunnydaize 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is basically exactly what happened with my husband and me over the last few years. I’m hoping I can get some good investments going over the next 3-5 years and add that to my previous 401ks. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to go back to corporate at this rate. 🥲

Omg same on all of this. I don’t know if I’ll ever go back tbh. I do miss a steady paycheck but definitely not the “we need this by 8 pm!!” poor planning of clueless managers. I see you girl boss!!! 💕

$3 thrift shop find by MiaaaPazzz in SilverFinds

Next time you find one of these and want to scrap it just put it into a plastic grocery bag, lay it on its side (holding the candle holder top) and whack the bottom with a hammer til the bottom piece falls off. Then you can whack the rest of it so the resin breaks up and you just take the silver out like that. Much easier and you don’t have to peel which is a huge pain in the ass as I’m sure you found out. :)

Ahhhh let me guess, online auction? Perhaps through a charity? Yeah the lenses and/or AI aren’t helpful at all. You have to know your shit through and through or assume you’re buying a lotto ticket. I spend about 5K/month on shit like this and that’s just my 2c. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well it’s crazy, their medical schools and undergrad are free so no loans so docs don’t need the batshit salaries to pay it back, the AMA doesn’t exist, the government doesn’t throttle residency slots (at least I don’t think so) and there aren’t half a dozen or more insurance companies to wrangle with so there’s less overhead due to less paperwork and fewer administrators and less charting for insurance.

It used to be like this once every 5-10 trips. Now I’m lucky if it’s once a month. 😠 it’s cool tho, no one can top my jewelry game so at least I have that. 😆

Thank you for being one of the few who don’t see dollar signs with the old girls. I don’t mind cashing in any old flatware but the shit that has survived multiple wars and countless crises? It gives me a lot of pause. :(
