I feel uncomfortable now. This has never happened before, not in over 12 years of baby raising.

How about just using a magnet ?
The one with the big stone looked fake even before you tested it
So I used to be a machinist at a precious metals factory that sold products to Tiffany’s and I can tell you 100000000% that a majority of the Temu “silver rings” are just plated rings with a copper/nickel mix for the internal part for the plating to sit on.
This was such a great video. Appreciate the sacrifice! Love your channel & your chill!!❤
Thank you for the kind words!!
Okay this is cool. Is there a way you can test turquoise?
I'm not great with turquoise but I know there are ways to test for dye, and a way to better know is a hardness test but that requires scratching the stone a little
@@Lauraetcetera Thank you so much. Have a blessed weekend
The 3rd ring i suspect was a low alloy.
could be!
Stirling silver has numbers 925 in the inside
Psst it’s nickel 😮
People can be so mean 😭 I have a jewellery channel and your temu video was suggested to me but i subscribed because I loved your vibe too! I live in fear of going viral 😂
Thank you so much for saying so! Loving "my vibe" is the best compliment! Haha don't be fearful, just brace yourself for verbal abuse, lol!! I check my messages now when I'm emotionally ready for being berated. It's annoying but on the plus side any comments do help "feed the algorithm monster" so there's that! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment <3
Hi Laura! UA-cam suggested this video for me and I’m so glad it did! I have a channel and haven’t uploaded in ages but have wanted to start again. 😊 I enjoyed your video!
You DEFINITELY should start!! Please stay tuned to this channel, I'll be uploading something that is super relevant to this comment hopefully next week ;) Thanks for checking me out!
Who expects to find real jewelry at Temu, Wish, Aliexpress, etc?
Idk what causes this but using headphones, the sound is only coming from 1. I’m positive it’s something on your end bc it only happens every once in a while, and I wouldn’t even mentioned it but I have chronic health issues and today I’m super nauseous 🤢 so I literally can’t watch it rn. Just throwing that out there
The painting is amazing! You had me in tears too!
Thank you so much, and sorry about the waterworks! :*)
No apology needed! I do Kaleighs strength and spin! I was at the live strength that morning too. What you do for her and the family was so thoughtful 🤗
Amazing 👏 ❤
Thank you!
Love it Laura!
Thanks so much Sue!
Wonderful and amazing. Cant wait to see it in the studio ❤
That's going to be a surreal experience for me lol
I have bought allot of nice and pretty Items from Temu for over a Year and have always been treated Honestly..but ..there’s one thing that I wish they wouldn’t do and that is …mark their Retail Values up so ridiculously high!
Brilliant painting Laura such a beautiful thing to do ❤🐾🐾
Thank you Melissa!
She didnt have a poor test for all who complaining it turned out ok for her i bet she didnt read the descriptions properly on the one that she thought was 925 sometimes it says 925 stamped in descriptions
I did read the descriptions, I made sure they all said they were sterling as the base metal.
You need to read the descriptions on items better
But small business by from temu right
I’ve been rock hounding for years. Best place in Christchurch New Zealand is Birdlings Flat. A stone beach 🤗. Wanting to give crochet a go after I was given an awesome blanket that was my great grandmother’s
Oh I bet that is just an absolutely lovely place to go! I wish we had anything like that around here. I go to a local river bank sometimes but there's nothing like tumbled glass for example, which is my favorite to find! I encourage you to try crochet ^_^
I am reading Chinese jewelry and children's jewelry test positive for cadmium. Jewelry on women's dresses and shirts were 100% cadmium.
If anyone wants good jewelry staples from China stick to searching "316L steel" followed by ring or chain or bracelet.
Amazing painting! You really captured both Nacho and Stella! A fellow buttkicker here and aspiring artist… looking forward to checking out your channel more. Very inspirational!
Thank you so much!! Some (hopefully) very encouraging new videos are in the works so please “stay tuned”! ❤
The Temu jewelry testing was my first video. I then looked up your content and thought it was as random as my day can be. Your voice is so welcoming. I enjoy the essence you put out. I have to say I was interested in what you would find in the jewelry. But I sew, knit, read and have other interests. So I’m looking forward to watching your work.
I'm so happy to have you here and not to have scared you off with all the random content, lol!!
So amazing!!! Such incredible talent!! (And when you can - invest in a spin bike! Total game changer!! ❤😊)
Frustratingly I had one until I blew it up accidentally plugging in the wrong cord 🫢😓 but maybe I can find a decently priced used one 🤔 thanks for the encouragement!
She is amazing, you did a remarkable thing for her. Blessings!
She sure is 😊 thank you so much!
Get your plants from Aquarium co-op or from Father fish himself. Both are great.
Amazing! I love your heart ❤
Thank you so much Pam!
😭 you are both incredible people!
This is so sweet, thank you!
Wow , so clever Laura , beautiful 🌸🌼🌸Maria
Thank you sweet Maria! I always appreciate your encouragement!
@@Lauraetcetera you are welcome, I am about to start knitting a scarf In lavender, will be interesting to see how that turns out 🌸🌼🌸Maria
@@MariaNickLambert send me a picture when you're done! I'm currently working on a crochet wolf ^_^
This is so cool on so many levels!!
Thank you!!
Surely ppl buying from Temu don’t think for a moment that it’s real ?!
the thing is, the first time I bought from them I had zero expectations. I thought for sure I'd be asking for a full refund. Then it was all real. So this time around I thought, well, last time it was all real, so this time it probably will be. Immediate disappointment! That's why I had my hopes up.
This is amazing! You’re so talented ❤
Thank you so much!
What a beautiful tribute to Stella and an amazing gift. You are certainly blessed to have talent that you can share with others.
Thank you so much, I definitely feel blessed <3
Oh my gosh! I love that painting so much! It will definitely make its way onto our studio set! Thank you so much Laura! 💜
That’s going to be wild seeing it! You are so very welcome, it was a joy to paint and I’m so glad you love it!
Love it Laura- you’re so talented! That’s such a sweet gesture and I’m sure she will love it! Even my lil channel I’ve had people send me thoughtful gifts and it really is touching and wonderful!
It’s just the best! What a gift to have such sweet viewers ❤
That is a really good painting even if the story behind it is sad. What a great gift to receive for her.
Thank you so much ❤
Their stainless steel stuff are mostly more legit. Did find a few duds in too
❤ I love your art.
Thank you Jennifer, that means a lot ❤
Irony I wore a TEMU sterling silver ring which was £5.60 with my sterling silver £100 ring. My friends chose the TEMU ring as it looked more shiny & expensive 🤷♀️😂
I didn't know about your channel until your Temu video popped up. So I'm really glad that I found you!
Thanks for checking out the videos! I'm glad you found me too ^_^ welcome!
I love you so much! I recently just found your kislux and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life
I hope that's not a Temu diamond tester...
I've found the quality of temu has gone downhill w/my camping, home and crafting purchases this past year; they're deceptive now, lie and CHEAT - 1 year ago they didn't do this!!
I never buy jewelry from them just beads
What is moissanite
Interesting - Also, that dragon ring is super cute.
I always check the description, they’re advertising them a sterling silver but when you check it always states they’re copper plated but even then I wouldn’t buy it 👍
