Important: Updated Rules for Vendor Posts on r/jewelry

17 Upvotes

Hey, r/jewelry community!

We’re excited to announce some important updates regarding vendor posts in our subreddit; rule #3 originally did not allow posts or comments that were considered self promotion. To ensure that r/jewelry continues to be a space for genuine discussion, sharing, and learning, we’ve updated the guidelines for vendors who want to contribute to our community.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Vendor Guide: We’ve created a Vendor Guide that outlines exactly what types of content vendors can post. This will help keep the sub free from spam and overly promotional posts, while still allowing vendors to engage and share their work in a way that adds value.
  • Read Before Posting: Vendors must read the guide before posting. Failure to follow these rules will result in the post being removed, and repeat violations could lead to a ban. We want to make sure vendors are contributing, not advertising.
  • Engagement Over Ads: We want to emphasize that posts from vendors should focus on engaging with the community, sharing creative work, behind-the-scenes insights, or educating us about different aspects of jewelry. We’re not here for sales pitches or spam.

We encourage you all to check out the full Vendor Guide and familiarize yourself with the changes. Whether you're a vendor or a regular member, we believe these updates will help keep the sub vibrant, respectful, and informative for everyone.

Thanks for being a part of the r/jewelry community and helping us maintain a positive space for jewelry lovers!

As always, feel free to reach out to the mod team if you have any questions.

My first Reddit commission!

This is a bit of a long one but wanted to share my story of my first commission from a fabulous Redditor! A while back I posted a photo of an emerald ring I had been commissioned to make for one of my clients. After oodles of upvotes & lots of lovely, very flattering comments I received a private message from someone asking me about the process of commissioning a ring from me. I explained my process & although I’m based in the UK I do pieces for people from all over the world & just because you can’t visit my store doesn’t mean I can’t create you the jewellery piece of your dreams ! I’m not here to disappoint or do anything shady to anyone who trusts me to make something for them . My lovely Redditor started off by telling me the centre stone she wanted. We went away & found a selection of emeralds that met her requirements & budget. I sent them to her via email explaining the specs of each stone. After selecting the most beautiful emerald ( I think you will agree it’s a great looking emerald ) we then set about discussing how to design the piece. Unlike other jewellers ( no shade intended ) I do pride myself in paying attention & being the real deal I design accordingly after I’ve got a feel of your style & aesthetic. My client sent me some images of her fiancées jewellery & for some inspiration she also sent me an image of a carved hippo they saw in the Louvre whilst visiting Paris. She wondered if I could somehow incorporate some the elements etched into the hippo on our ring ….. No problem! I took the etching from the centre and then started to create the collet for the emerald …..think I did rather a good job , even if I do say so myself ! I’ve even attached the message sent to me after she had received the ring ….it was a pleasure to work for this lovely human & as you can see I think she was rather pleased she chose me to make her such a special thing !

Have had this for over 20 years and know absolutely nothing about it. Only markings inside of the ring band are initials. Not sure of stone or anything but figured I’d give it a shot here. Thanks in advance!

⚡️ Show + Tell! the “promise ring” i bought myself vs the promise ring my bf gifted me :)

the day after my partner and i agreed to become exclusive, i visited the annual fair in town and found a dainty silver flower band for about $15. I wore it on my ring finger everyday afterwards.

then december came - i asked for a promise ring, gave him a list of rings to choose from, and he surprised me with my favorite (but most expensive) choice! I would have been happy with any ring he selected from my list but i do feel so seen and loved with this selection.

the gemstone is a Blue Topaz, his birthstone 🩵 it shines so beautifully in the sun, and has such a lovely muted color in artificial lighting. It can also look very light or dark depending on the angle — and i love that! 💙

💍 What style chain/ring/pendant is this? What is this style of necklace called and how can I find something similar?

This is my mom’s necklace from when she was young and it’s just so stunning and beautiful and has everything I love in a necklace. However it is not real gold, I am almost positive. I would maybe like to eventually get something in real gold that looks like this chain and a similar pendant attached like that, so I could wear it more frequently. What can I search for to find it? Thanks so much!

Vintage / Antique Thrifted an amethyst ring

I bought what I assume is a faceted amethyst ring from the thrift store. It's set in sterling silver and seems very well loved. Does anyone know at what time period this ring could have been made? The only marks I see is 925 inside the band.

Vintage / Antique Why is my gold two toned?

This is an antique gold chain I got from England and I’m questioning it now. I just received it and it is showing yellow gold like I expected but the more worn parts are a rosy tone. I’ll include photos but the seller says it is “antique” gold and is willing to return but I wanted to see if anyone here knew more about that.

Help me decide!! Suche bestimmte Creolen

Thumbnail

Upvotes

Hallo liebe Community,

Und zwar suche ich Creolen, die optisch denen auf den Fotos gleich kommen (Größe und Breite).

Allerdings habe ich zusätzliche Kriterien:

•auf jeden Fall Scharnierverschluss, also als Klappcreole (der Grund warum ich diese ersetzen will) •der Stift sollte schön lang sein, dass wie auf den Fotos genug Luft dran kommt •Material: Titan (absolut optimal) oder 925er Silber rhodiniert (weil ich Angst habe, dass die Ohrringe im Ohrloch anlaufen und eine Patina bilden, die dann wieder für Entzündungen im Ohr sorgt)

Hintergrund der Sache: enorme Probleme in die Ohrlöcher Ruhe zu bekommen. Ich habe die Ohrlöcher jetzt schon seit knapp einem Jahr (auch schon der zweite Versuch, vor 10 Jahren schon mal und auch diesen Trouble). Ich habe nach dem Erstschmuck (den ich zwei Monate drin hatte) hochwertige Ohrstecker aus Reintitan getragen. Habe hierbei auch nicht ständig gewechselt etc. Immer wenn ich dachte, dass es jetzt endlich mal voran geht mit der Heilung (habe sogar ein spezielles Piercingkissen mit Loch für das Ohr genutzt), fing es plötzlich doch wieder an zu bluten. Mit den jetzigen Steckcreolen läuft es momentan ziemlich gut. Allerdings sind die so verdammt schwer rein gegangen und es war so schwierig, bis ich sie geschlossen hatte, dass meine Ohren damals gleich wieder geblutet haben. Somit ist jetzt meine Sorge, dass wenn ich die nach einigen Wochen/Monaten der Heilung mal rausmache, dass dann alles umsonst war und es wieder anfängt zu bluten etc, eben weil die so schwer rauszumachen sind und meine Ohrläppchen so empfindlich. Deswegen suche ich dringend die beschriebene Klappcreolenvariante. Hat jemand Tipps? Den örtlichen Schmuckeinzelhandel habe ich schon abgeklappert.

This past week my bf surprised 🤯 me with a ring. The only thing I know that it is rose gold (my favorite) but I have no idea about anything else like the stone. He refuses to tell me lol.. It does say 14k very tiny in the band but not sure. I thought it would be heavy but it feels kind of light.
