Let's look at things. Maintaining 62°f 55%rh My custom claws came from Lithuania and I'm giving those a trial run lol

Hanging out with cinnabar today. She's a good girl.

I'm off today, but the other goldsmith polished this one after I finished setting and took pics this morning. I left work early to see the doctor and ran out of time to do those things myself

24k actually. They get REALLY UPSET when they come in to get their gold tested and it tests out as less than pure gold. I'm not going to pretend I understand, but there is a cultural significance to the gold being pure. I'm never more anxious than in moments like these. They get really pissed.

It's okay. 2023 is almost over. I'm not superstitious by any means but I'm hoping that I can just roll with the punches til 2024.

I have pneumonia. And, everyone at the jewelry store I work for 3 days a week is ill. I'm gonna hope my problems are pneumonia related and not weed in my house gave me pneumonia. I wouldn't think it's capable of that just by virtue of existing next to me, but I'm not a scientist, I'm a...

Change of pace..... 18k men's channel ring

For some folks size is what scratches the itch, and for others the quality is what does it for 'em Other times it's rarity. Pay the same price on a 1/3ct natural dark pink/red diamond as a 5ct natural white

Lol, well, at 7.5 ct an SI2-3 has some features. It's not quite frozen spit. It's still an 80k natural diamond... you could get a 7.5ct EF VVS lab for half that. But, it would be a lab

Isn't that the zoo where some lady spent every day staring at this one gorrilla until he went crazy broke out and maimed her? Eta: Rotterdam zoo, gorillas name was Bokito and the woman was named Yvonne

Behold, the bane of my existence. Bitch comes in with a 4 prong setting and one is broke and wants two more prongs. I take the stone out. It's a fucking disaster in the mounting. The whole thing is a hand fab assembled with laser tack welds and solder everywhere. Tips missing, broken melee...

So I've just been wearing a double respirator about the house, and sealed the air vent in the room. I'm okay if I'm away from it, but it looks like it takes half a day for symptoms to ebb. I've been at the jeweler since 930 and the last thing to go away was the sore throat, it is almost vanished...

I think so, but I've gotten a lot of conflicting opinions... there were a few of the large colas that had it and I pulled any clusters with it to throw away. They looked like dried dead brown stuff and it crumbled away.

I'm doing this for the moment while I sort my options. Not gonna lie, I'm 50% to throwing it all outside. I feel really unwell. I'm not mentally handling the idea of feeling this way for weeks

My mother was a florist for 23 years and I never had an issue in her flower shop, this is something else. "So most guides on cure will tell you to go slow with the humidity reduction, but recent research has shown that a quick crash in humidity to like 40% rh and then a slow cure is best to...

Wtf. Cannabis emits VOCs?? How am I only just learning about this?? I was beginning to think I had like, covid or something, but every symptom I have goes down the list for volatile organic compounds exposure. This is exactly why I couldn't be near my house when we started using primer. Flu...

I'm not gonna lie, either I'm sick or the plants in my house are doing it. Are they supposed to smell so... chemically? I've had a huge non-stop headache and sore throat since they came in.

I'm aiming for a humidity crash This was recommended practice by a friend in Denver that works in a cannabis lab. The goal is 80% by 7 to 10 days https://www.analyticalcannabis.com/articles/a-guide-to-drying-and-curing-cannabis-313091

Let's take a look in the room and what not.
