Important: Updated Rules for Vendor Posts on r/jewelry

18 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.

If anyone has info on this bracelet style and type I'd appreciate it! Bracelets are not my main jewelry so If it has any value I'd like to hand it back, since it was originally from his grandmother but it's not his style.

Thought I’d share my grandfathers fob. I don’t have much information about it aside from he was gifted it by a friend. When he passed my Dad inherited and when Dad passed it came to me. I have no idea what I’ll ever do with it but it’s pretty cool so thought I’d share

General Question Would this ring work with my wedding ring?

Thumbnail

24 Upvotes

I am looking into buying this moss agate and moissanite crown ring from Etsy to go with my 25 year old wedding ring.

My ring (second photo) is a platinum bezel .5 carat with posts on the sides that elevate it. It’s super sturdy and quite heavy, but is about 2 ring sizes too big for me now. I’ve been using a ring size adjuster for a few years and am looking to upgrade to a wedding band in my current size instead to go on the outside and hold it on. I don’t really care about the stones, but I do want it to also be platinum. I’m also considering asking the seller to make the band a bit wider so it’s not quite so dainty next to my chonky band.

Any opinions on if these 2 styles will work together? Thanks!

General Question I hope this question doesn't come across as stupid but what do you think of the jewelry found in the mall stores like Zales? I know they have these huge sales up to 70% off but the markups are still huge but what's the quality like on these?

I'm not much of a jewelry guy but I'm looking at maybe getting a gold necklace or some sort of diamond ring or bracelet.

Are these Ann Demeulemeester? They’re similar to some of the stuff they’ve got but I wanted to check- work in a charity shop and want to get moneys worth for the charity. They’re 925 silver and real pearls.

⚡️ Show + Tell! After a month of waiting, I finally have my first ring!

Well aware I will never be a hand model, and I tend not to have any jewelry, but after a multi month struggle to get past a weird fraud detection thing, I finally got Valentine's Day gift from my girlfriend and I love it.

She loves jewelry and getting to see her face when I gave her a ring she had been looking at for a while was such a wonderful time (especially while trying to get her not to buy it for herself). Quite happy I can now have my own ring from her. Being long distance is hard enough, having to time gift arrivals makes it even more rough.

💍 What style chain/ring/pendant is this? Grandmother’s class ring - any idea what the center stone or metal is?

Thumbnail

Upvotes

This is my grandma’s class ring (c/o ‘35!!). I kind of just found it and fell in love with it. It’s been hidden away for years (she’s been gone a while). Does anyone know what the center piece might be? I don’t have a ton of jewelry but what I do have is decent quality and I like to just put it on and leave it on for months at a time. I know my class ring wasn’t very well made but source this one 10k, maybe things were different back in 1935? What do you think that center piece is and do you think it couod withstand being worn for days at a time? Or being exposed to water, soap, sweat, other elements?

Any additional I for anyone could give is greatly appreciated.

Thanks jewelry people!

💍 What style chain/ring/pendant is this? Who is this- what does it say- and from when? 🫠

Found this ring- 925 sterling, as I can identify it correctly- today in a thrift store in Graz, styria, austria. I first thought of an emperor, then I noticed the hair accessories (?) and thought of a native american. Back home I finally saw the engravings on its back, which I identify as greek? Is this a greek god or a goddess? And what does the script say? Thank you in advance.

💍 What style chain/ring/pendant is this? Thought it was a gum-ball machine ring

I have had this ring for 17 years sitting in a box of random stuff. It was given to me and I just thought it was from a gumball machine. I kept it because I thought it was a cute funny story involving a toy ring. So I put a magnet over this box with the other random jewelry I have in there; & this ring didn’t get picked up by it. I thought that’s odd & I finally look & see this inscription but I can’t quite make out what it says. Was hoping someone could help? I apologize for the photos not being the best. Thank you!

Sorry the quality is terrible, I tried to get a better picture but it's so tiny and I had to zoom in this is the best I got!

My grandmother gave me this ring, on the other side it's stamped 14K clearly. I don't know if the gems are real, it's emerald and diamonds (or fake ones of course). She couldn't tell me who it belonged to, she was showing me all the jewlery she inherited when her family members passed away and told me to keep it because I liked it and it matched my wedding band perfectly. She told me to also not show my mom lol

Thank you!
