My first
My first Invicta. Brand new at the flea market for $25.
Bigger tires, lower M. P. G.
I am thinking about putting 18" tires on my insight. How much do you think this will affect the MPG overall?
Opals in water
I know someone who is selling some really nice opals, but they are in the water. How easy is it to dry them out? I've read several things saying that it's really easy and some other things saying that it is really difficult. Anybody have any experiences that they can share?
Looking for jewelry designer
I am looking for a jewelry designer (preferably someone local to Greenville or max an hour away) that I can collaborate with on rings and earrings with some opals. DM and I can show you some designs I have in mind and see if you can create them. Thank you
Jewelry designers
I am looking for an artist to collaborate with on making some jewelry with some Australian black opals. They are not huge, but have some amazing fire play of color and in the right settings, I believe could really be worth something. Would like to try to make 4 or 5 earrings, 3 rings and possibly 3 pendants. Of course I would pay a commission or we could split the profits. Contact me and I can send pics/ideas of what I would like to do.
Need a solid recommendation for a really good jewelry store that can evaluate some Australian black opals. Please and thank you.
In your opinion, what do you think the value of Australian black opals will be in the future, say 5-10 years? I watched a YouTube video where an "expert" predicted that as the older generations pass on and the younger ones don't want to continue on in this rare field, will create a huge shortage, dramatically increasing the value of Australian black opals in the future. Any opinions on this or facts would be appreciated.
Walking stick
Bought this from an old man at a flea market who carved and painted it himself as a walking stick. I keep it on my wall as art. It is 42”. Zoom in for detail.
