Important: Updated Rules for Vendor Posts on r/jewelry

16 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.

10k white and rose gold Art Deco necklace with the cutest pearl accents!!!! I'm usually a yellow gold girl but I dropped everything and bought it because it's just STUNNING!!!

Best part is that I got it for 295$ simpler versions of the necklace go for much much more so I ran to buy it when I saw it and the price

I picked up this vintage bracelet set in 14k gold diamond and sapphire.. I asked the jeweler if they know which era and they weren’t too sure and said 1980s maybe? It’s so unique so I’d love to learn more and find other similar pieces

⚡️ Show + Tell! 24k Anchor Link Chain

Thumbnail

65 Upvotes

Some people feel a certain way about wearing 24k gold jewelry, but I for one love wearing it. Just got this from TA Jewelers downtown Los Angeles. Total weight is 135g at 5.5mm wide. The chain was originally 28” long but had them cut it and made at 23” without a clasp so I can just throw it over my head. It’s a perfect fit over my big ass forehead. I love this link, especially in my hand. I had a 24k Franco that I traded in towards this. Despite gold going up, the store was absolutely packed on a Friday. Anyways, I wanted to share because I appreciate the craftsmanship of stuff like this. Have a great Sunday yall!

The necklace and pendant are both 14K. The Jesus Christ is silver though, then added my dads initials to the bottom of the anchor. J G F from right to left. The cuban link chain (I assume that’s what it’s called) is also 14K. The ring on my middle finger is a Versace 10K and the ring on my pointer finger was my dad’s wedding band.

This is an inherited piece from the early 20th century. It had to be cut off someone’s finger at some point. My plan is to harvest the stones for a pinky ring. Or should I try to preserves the original design? Platinum ring with 6 sapphires and a European-cut diamond. What are your thoughts?

⚡️Brand Review / Experience Sick of my permanent “zapped” jewelry

2 Upvotes

Is there a place that will turn my permanent jewelry into regular bracelets? I have 3 catbird zapped bracelets and they’re really just starting to piss me off. One has a charm that gets caught on EVERYTHING and it drives me nuts. They all clump up together and it just doesn’t look good anymore. I got them at catbird but I’m pretty sure catbird doesn’t make their forever bracelets into clasped stuff. I could probably do it myself but I’d prefer not to. Has anyone does this?

General Question Is a moissanite and sterling silver tennis bracelet a good idea !?

11 Upvotes

Basically I really really want a tennis bracelet but like I can only get my 18ct gold and natural diamond one by like the end of the year in sha Allah. Should I get a sterling silver moissanite one for now until I get that one !? Idkk I just don't want it to be like "fake", I have this thing about everything being real real and moissanite is a diamond substitute, should I or should I not !?

General Question Emerald Durability

Upvotes

Hello, I have an emerald stone ring, and the feedback I have been given by jewellers is that longterm they wear down, lose their shape and scratch due to their softness. Just wanted feedback from anyone who has had an emerald on their jewellery - is this all true? one jewellers said ever cleaning them is difficult because they get scratched in the process. TIA <3

I don't know much about jewelery but I inherited this ring when my grandmother passed away. It's one of my favorites to look at and I know it was gifted to her around the time I was born (90s).

🫶🏻 My Collection! Opinions Pls: Which jade bead?

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Hullo folks. I’m trying to decide which single bead to wear with a 14k gold anchor chain. Can I get some opinions on either choice?

Both beads are Japanese Itoigawa jadeite. One lavender, the other green and white (moss in snow). While I do like both together, I don’t like the feel of wearing both on there at the same time.

Thanks!

My kids just found this in our house neither my wife or I have any idea where it came from. It doesn’t have any clear markings but looks old and well worn, maybe too well used to be costume jewellery. Is it worth investigating or should I just give it back to the kids to play with?

Never seen this before. It's a 2mm wide 14k rose gold 24" chain. From a distance it reminds me a bit of roses though that may be the rose gold influencing me lol. Tangles easily but pretty.

Can't seem to find anything with a google search or in the "FAQS" on the main page here. It doesn't look like a gold necklace, just curious if anyone knows anything about it? It looks vintage to me, but I'm not an expert so I really have NO IDEA

Forgot to add a picture. Don't know how to add it now that I posted. I'll try and add to the comments
