there are photos somewhere on this forum showing what has happened to some people’s’ malachite over time.

by the way, I am planning to add some malachite pieces to my collection sometime this year, this is why I remember the photos. Gotta be prepared!

Hi,
I am trying to pick Magic malachite earrings for my mom. I asked my SA for dark stone with lot of striations and my SA sent me these 3 options. Should I pick one of these or ask for other options? As a Malachite newbie, I am not aware how dark the stone would be and also if I should pick a medium tone since the stone will darken with time. Thanks!
Option 1

Option 3

My preference is in this order: #3, #1, and #2
I believe your mother will be very happy with malachite, it is such a beautiful stone.

Has anyone had problems lately with their earrings? I bought a pair of small Frivole and after wearing two days, one of the posts came off and I almost lost the earring. My SA exchanged them for another pair and the same thing just happened again. I wore that pair probably 3 times. I’ve worn my mini Frivole for two years straight with no problems.

I also had that happened with pave frivole. I was told they are meant to be clips and the post can just screw in. I requested to put them permanently and they sent them out, took a couple of weeks. Another pair I bought prior to that was fine.

This happened to my LE Onyx earrings a few times. I got fed up and requested to have the posts soldered on.

I think I will always have the backs soldered when I buy earrings with clips since I have pierced ears. My VA pave earrings are soldered.
