Wow thank you for sharing, that is very cool!! It was cool learning about how far the two suns could be from each other for an orbit to work. This reminds me of how reflection rainbows work. You can get a quadruple rainbow when sunlight reflects off of a still body of water, and you could think of the sun reflected in the water acting like a second sun. These sets of rainbows always intersect at the horizon

I’ve been trying to clean up my HTML/CSS too. It’s a disaster, to put it lightly. I understand WHY it’s deprecated, but I’m still kinda mourning the center tag.

"He exhibited it at a dog show" - I laughed out loud. I'm sure it was a very elegant event, but I love the idea of making your dog an elaborate fancy tiara and then showing it off next to a chihuahua. The Chaumet is my favorite here, but the story behind the seahorse one is delightful. Now I'm contemplating how I'd theme my tiara

@oopsiedoodle - I wonder how much it would be to commission a tiara! I mean, I know it would depend on what materials are used and all but I wonder what a base price would be. 🤔 Probably too much if I have to ask! Still totally want one with bedazzled carnivorous flowers.

Bonus post this week! I come across all sorts of wondrous (and sometimes weird) jeweled things in my tiara searches and some of the are just too good not to share. This week I'm introducing you all to Harold Hodges and his opal teeth!
oh, i love this! truly what a delightful example of human whimsy :D :D :D thank you so much for sharing this!
dentures with opal teeth, very cool! They must have had to shape each opal into the right shape for each tooth wow! Once in a while a patient will request vampire fangs or slightly longer canines for their dentures, but this is a whole nother level! (we wouldn't be able to do this tho, as a corporate office rather than a independent lab)
@solaria - the video talks about the making of the teeth. The originals were made by a dentist but she pointed out that of the existing teeth, only one was professional. The others were made by non-dentists and glued in. She pointed out the difference in shaping. Opal isn't the sturdiest material so that's why they had to be replaced and either he did it or had a fellow opal miner/dealer do it for him.
