The clams are pretty cool. I’m guessing the inexpensive necklaces are synthetics

Fluorescent but not phosphorescent

In the interest of learning, is this cheap necklace a lab/synthetic? It is fluorescent but does not phosphoresce. Thanks all!

Can this design be safely sized down 2 sizes?

I really love this ring, but only a size 7 is available and I’m size 5. Before I buy it, I wanted to check if the design allows for it to be sized down to 6. Thanks!

Doublet or triplet?

Hi all, I bought this pendant a long time ago in Cairns. Can you tell from the photo whether it’s a doublet or triplet? And where it might have been mined in Australia? Thanks!

Hi all, looking for any recommended sellers for 14k retired charms. I’ve read the information on the sub about what to look for regarding sellers and authenticity, but thought I’d also ask if anyone has sellers they trust since the dollar amount will not be insignificant! Thanks everyone!
