What a great video. I love the jewelry making videos, but I also love learning about the components. Thanks!
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching! 😊
I never knew opals were thought to be bad luck. I’ve always loved them especially since they are my birthstone. I also didn’t know the two about pearls. Thank you for educating us!
Thank you for watching! 😊
Never heard of any of those
I'm Australian. Opals are our national gemstone. And definitely NOT bad luck!! 🇭🇲
Love it! Glad to know that Australia gives opals the respect they deserve!
Great vid!
What about the myth of storing opals in water?
We didn't touch on that myth in the video, but there doesn't appear to be any truth behind the water preventing opals from cracking as opals are non-porous, so they do not actually soak in any water. It is so interesting to hear all of the myths surrounding opals! Thanks for sharing and for watching the video! 😊
The last on surprised me. I used to use toothpaste for tarnished silver.😮😮😮 This video was fun. TU❤
So glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching! 😊
Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for making this video! Altho most of them i guessed right 😊but it is great content of videos and interesting. Please make more like this ❤❤
Thank you for watching! We hope to make more videos like this in the future! 😊
Native American cultures also have a deep respect for opals. The stone is considered to be a symbol of hope, purity, and truth. The Hopi tribe believes that opals are a gift from the underworld and that wearing the stone can protect the wearer from harm.Nov 17, 2023
Thanks for sharing! We love hearing different historical accounts of gemstones! 😊
I always thought the opal myth had to do with how fragile they can be.
That could definitely contribute to the myth as well! There appears to multiple versions of the myth. Hopefully opals will start getting the love and respect they deserve!
Just don't wear opals while handling chemicals, or washing up.
Actually, the story behind opals being bad luck was not a general thing. We used to say that it was bad luck for a person to wear opals if they did not have Opal as their birth stone but of course that was nonsense.
It's so interesting how all these myths get started!
Right?! This was in Vancouver and the Lower Mainland area in the 80's and 90's. So silly, and I thought so at the time too.
😉👍
Hiya, awesome video and I love opals and I never thought that they were bad luck, because I would have the worst luck of all time, if it was true. Lol
I do agree with you about diamonds, they are tough but they can be crushed or chipped if it's the wrong circumstances, I've had a 3 ct diamond break in half already.
I hope you have a awesome blessed day.
Cya! 😺🐟 out!
Thank you so much! Have a blessed day as well. We appreciate you watching our video! 😊
@@FireMountainGems it's my pleasure and I hope you have a awesome New Year.
Always heard opals were good luck
That's great! We love opals!
Actually that using toothpaste is safe cleaning jewelry. Thank goodness for your video, thank you!
So glad we could help! Thanks for watching! 😊
I was told by a jeweller that the best way to clean my cameo was with a toothbrush and toothpaste. But I wouldn't want to try it on anything else
It's possible some toothpastes may work on some materials, but we do not recommend toothpaste and a toothbrush for cleaning jewelry. There's also a lot of variation in toothpaste texture/consistency, and some toothpastes can be more abrasive and might scratch the piece you are cleaning.
And Fire Mountain Gems lists gold filled as precious metal: NOT Never has been, never will be
gold filled?
Precious metal is used on our website to help filter products, so gold-filled beads, for example, are a base metal core that is coated with a precious metal (gold). That helps to narrow down your product search. We apologize if there is any confusion caused by that. If you have any questions about specific products, we would love to help!
Just want to say that the very best gems and beads I've ever bought came from Fire Mountain Gems and Beads. P.S. not paid to say this; but credit must be given where credit is due.
Thank you so much! We really appreciate the support! 😊
And the price tag to go with it. Gem Fairs are where it's at.
@@jessicaday9196 May depend where you live; gem fairs in my country/state weren't better value for "bling" or price, so you may be fortunate in that. Thing is, gem fairs aren't available 24/7 to order from though, and have your choices delivered by post...
How does black hills gold work then? 😊
The same as explained. Black Hills Gold is just a style or method that uses gold with different alloys (different ratios of copper or silver) to create different shades of gold, and then they're usually styled together to show the color contrasts.
@@possumfriend2335 awesome, thanks for clarifying 😊
Looks like you got a great answer in the comments already, but yes, Black Hills Gold speaks more to the style, and within that style there are some gold mixtures to give the different shades. Thanks so much for watching the video! 😊
You missed the biggest myth: crystal power.
You guys can do better than this...
LAKIRRA 55, Aka Lousiana Glitter Queen is very disappointed in her last purchase from you. On her live stream she said" she would rather buy from TEMU then you and your fake beads. Just letting you know.
