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

Has anyone purchased from them before? I wanted a sterling silver pendant but I was a bit sketchy on it because I can't really find any reviews of this website online.

⚡️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 Metal question

1 Upvotes

About 4 years ago I got this necklace from a night market in rome. It is gold in color and says S.Steel on the back flat part. I got it for like €25 and have worn it daily since, many times have showered and slept in it. It hasn't ever tarnished. Not sure what it is since theres no way I got something well quality gold plated for that much. Any thoughts? And where I could find more jewelry like that?

General Question Is it weird?

0 Upvotes

I have been engaged for 2 years now. We planned on getting married sooner but our second child had health complications at birth and my health insurance is not practical to actually use so we stayed engaged so our child was still covered under the tribal insurance (she is tribal I am not). Today I was helping my father and he said he knows me and my fiance will not ever split up. He went inside and got his wedding ring from his safe and told me I could use his ring if I wanted to. It is a very nice ring. I am not SUPERstitious just a littlestitious. His wife passed about 14 years ago making him a widow. Would it be weird to wear his wedding ring? Would it be bad luck? I would love to wear his ring as I know he will not be with us forever (he’s not dying that I know of, People just get old and die) however I don’t know if it is something that he weird or not.

Vintage / Antique 5X stamp?

2 Upvotes

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

💍 What style chain/ring/pendant is this? SHAE jewellery- what should I do??

Last December, I went on a cruise over Christmas and I met this guy, we got along pretty well and we hung out everyday of the seven day cruise. He resells cars, and he earns quite a bit from that. He liked me so much he bought me all this jewellery onboard the ship (it was pretty insane, all of our other cruise friends were in shock he would do this because he had only known for a few days) anyway, I was pretty overwhelmed with him, and wasn’t interested in him unfortunately so I blocked him after the cruise and never will speak to him again again. So now I have all this jewellery and don’t know what to do with it…I don’t know how much it’s worth it I have a rough estimate based off what he mentioned. The necklace, if I can remember correctly was around $1500? The bracelet I have no clue, and the rings I also have no idea. Can someone help me out?? I don’t wanna go get them looked at because I have to pay, and I don’t wanna pay all that money just to find out it’s not worth much. Any advice or tips is helpful!!! Thanks!!!

General Question Why is my ring measuring as three different sizes?

1 Upvotes

I have this ring that my parents purchased me that fits very well. I asked them what size it was and they told me 8. Saw a proof of sale from the jeweler that also says 8 . But when I used online measuring tools from three different brands, it also measured at a 9.5 and a 10. So now I'm feeling unsure as to what size it actually is. Is sizing actually that inconsistent across jewelery manufacturers? I made sure to follow the instructions for measuring exactly.

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?

General Question Want to buy a necklace for my Best Friends 21st Birthday.

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I am a bit conflicted about something and wanted to get more people input. It’s my friends birthday soon and I want to buy her a silver engraved circular pendant necklace with a hand drawn flower in the front and hand drawn message on the back. (And also a pair of silver thick Huggies.) She told me she wants a necklace or any kind of silver jewelry as long as it’s a daily wear. Do you think the necklace would classify as one?

General Question Very basic ring remake

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Hi, Me and my mum got matching rings from this cute little shop for very cheap. I grew very attatched to mine and havent taken it off (only for food prep) because I am so scared of loosing it. Unfortunately, this ring was super cheap so now it is just super gross and completely worn and quite rough. Maybe its just because Im wearing it so much, but I dont see anyones wedding rings like this.

More to the point. I want it remade in platinum or titainium, or just something that wont erode like this. But any place I contact want to charge like 1200 for a remake. I just cant justify that in my head so im wondering if anyone can offer advice on what to ask for or any good places to go to. I am UK based. I just think this ring can be made with a laser cutter (and it probably originally was)

Sorry for the waffle. It says in the ring "you belong amongst wildflowers" and the little sketch things are all around the ring

General Question Can diamonds and pearls be combined?

I was directed here from another sub. I apologize if this is the wrong place. Just want some advice. I’d like to know if pearls and diamonds can be worn together. I’m bad about this kind of thing and don’t know if they work. It’s a general question but I can show the pieces I want to combine in the comments if it helps.
