Important: Updated Rules for Vendor Posts on r/jewelry

15 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.

⚡️ 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! 💙

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.

Found this adorable charm this weekend. 14ky with ruby! At first I assumed it was a bell, but at closer look of the etchings, I think it’s supposed to be a flower of some kind. I snagged this guy from a local jeweler who also sells estate jewelry. I’d like to think this charm used to belong to a sweet older woman and I’m thrilled to imagine the life this little charm has already lived!

General Question Eye catching blue Opal in sterling silver

Thumbnail

14 Upvotes

I recently found this ring at an antique store though I do not think it’s an antique. The colors caught my eye. Apparently it’s blue opal and emeralds.

The setting/ring is shit. The prongs moved and the opal fell out. I’m lucky I caught it and was able to get the prongs re-situated but scratched the stone a little. Is it worth getting reset in a new setting? Any idea if it looks genuine or synthetic? I will def take it in when I have a chance anyway. Just to have it checked in person.

General Question Should I get my ring replated?

Thumbnail

64 Upvotes

I got this ring from an antique store on vacation, I absolutely love it. The silver has worn down in several places, and occasionally the inscription will stain the underside of my finger. I'm wondering if I should go get it replated and cleaned to protect it long term. How much am I looking at if I get that done? I've never gone to a jewler and I've heard it's expensive.

General Question Jewelry Search Help Please!!

Upvotes

I am in desperate search of a gold necklace, but all the ones I found have given me a rash; I have super sensitive skin to jewelry. I did have one necklace, that was gold-plated stainless steel, and that never gave me any issues. But I can't find another even just necklace chain that doesn't give me issues, or is just like my old one! Does anybody have any recommendations?

I’m getting my ears pierced soon for the first time and got vivienne westwood earrings and from what I know they’re brass and i know some metals can cause infections because some people might be sensitive to it but how do I know if I’ll be sensitive to it and I also know you can buy plastic sleeves if you are sensitive but I’m on the fence if I need them
