wife's birthday soon, found something pretty unusual — good call or am i overthinking it

need a sanity check lol. wife's birthday is in two weeks and i panic every single year.

she's got more of an artsy, unconventional taste so the usual jewelry stuff never really fits her. then i came across this — it's called a Mechanical Heart Pendant, all metal, super detailed, almost looks more like a tiny sculpture than a necklace. honestly kinda obsessed with it.

part of me thinks it's perfect for her, part of me isn't sure. am i overthinking this

This Mech Justicar is even better in hand than in photos — the weight caught me off guard

Picked this up recently and it's even better in hand than in photos. It's marketed as a 'Mech Justicar' but I keep going back and forth on what it even is — part angel, part mech, part crusader knight. The blade-wings are the part that sells it for me.

What surprised me most is the weight — it's solid cast metal, so it's got real heft for something this size, and the detail in the armor plating doesn't get mushy up close.

Slowly putting together a small shelf of Coppertist Wu pieces and this one might be my favorite so far.

A couple months ago I posted the brass version of this heart and you said it needed copper + patina. Here's the copper one after 4 months of daily wear.

A couple months back I posted the brass version of this mechanical heart pendant here, and the top comments said it'd read way more steampunk in copper with some patina instead of staying shiny.

Fair enough. So here's the copper one — I've been carrying it and hand-patina'ing it daily for about 4 months now. No chemicals, no forced aging, just skin oils and everyday handling. Even the tubing went dark.

Honestly think you were right — it reads way more steampunk aged like this.

A coven of brass vampire counts took over my desk

Solid cast metal, way heavier than they look. The black patina one is my favorite — the way it keeps the coat engraving visible is impressive. Which one would you guys pick?

Spent my entire Saturday arranging my metal figure collection for this one shot — no regrets

I've been meaning to do a proper lineup photo for months. Finally set up a little castle backdrop, killed the lights and went full dramatic lighting mode. Honestly the photo doesn't even do the detail justice — the engraving on the armor pieces is wild up close.

The winged one in the center is the crown jewel for me. Curious which one stands out to you guys?

Has anyone seen Meta performance drop after switching Shopify Pixel/CAPI apps?

We switched around April 27 from the Omega Facebook Pixel app to Shopify’s official Facebook & Instagram by Meta app.

The new setup seems technically fine:

Data sharing set to Maximum
Correct Pixel ID
CAPI enabled
Events are coming through
Event quality looks normal
No obvious duplicate Pixel
No leftover Omega code found

But after the switch, both Meta and Shopify performance declined:

Website conversion rate dropped
AOV dropped
Meta ROAS dropped
Meta attributed revenue became a smaller share of total Shopify revenue
Traffic volume did not drop much, but buyer quality seems worse

My concern is that even if Events Manager looks normal, the event matching / deduplication / optimization signal may have changed, and Meta may now be optimizing toward lower-quality users.

Has anyone experienced this after switching from Omega or another third-party Pixel/CAPI app to Shopify’s native Facebook & Instagram app?

Would you switch back to the old app for a controlled test, or keep the official Meta app and continue monitoring?

Any troubleshooting ideas would be appreciated.

Has 14 hand-assembled brass and white bronze components. The beating mechanism is hidden inside the aorta — press it and the heart animates.

Curious what this community thinks about the aesthetic. Does it qualify?
