Nosferatu's iconic silver locket; symbolism & history of jewelry (2024)
มุมมอง 52314 วันที่ผ่านมา
Absolutely loved the new 2024 remake of the Nosferatu movie! Through out the movie we constantly see this simple heart shaped silver locket worn by Ellen's character, played by Lily Rose Depp. I've made this deep dive on the symbolism seen in the movie through this locket and lilacs. What I feel they represent and the foreshadowing they offer. I will also go into the history of mourning jewelry...

    Hi Dominique, thanks for this extremely useful video. I have a light neon greenish yellow tourmaline that IGI certified as Paraiba, however the origin is not mentioned and no, it doesn't have any shade of blue at all in it. Its a super tiny 0.49 carat stone. lol. How much do you think thats worth in the market now?

    • @DominiqueFlux
      @DominiqueFlux 9 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      @hazelfashionfilms i would recommend having it appraised. Unfortunately I don't give estimates over the internet like this as stones really need to be seen under magnifying glass to give an estimate

      @gracesmith5021 what is your ring size? It may be a bit too small bit there are ways to make it appear bigger, like setting it in a bezel or you can add a diamond halo around it to embellish it

    i think people are lying themselves when they think their jewelry are investments. unless we are talking about things in the 200k plus, it has no resale value. unless your stones are truly exquisite in terms of carat or rare origins and amazing colors… not an investment. gold is what 50-100$ a gram. u are not paying for the weight of gold in your jewelry. if you want to invest get stocks. otherwise these are just pretty things to indulge in and wear and look at. even an engagement ring, custom by you, 18k gold, a 2-3 carat natural diamond, probably around 10-15,000$. the resale value is probably in the low thousands. meanwhile for 15,000 you can get about 250 shares of coca cola whihc are stable and growing and have been paying about 3% dividends for the past half century. labs have alot of utility and practicality especially for designers when sampling and prototyping. if someone wants to order a natural they can.
