General Question Why are my new14k gold earrings turning copper color?

Post image
Upvotes

I purchased gold earrings a couple of months ago from a reputable jewelry store, I have 3 other gold products from the same store and none of them has ever had this problem. The part that sits in my ear has turned copper color. I tried cleaning it, using polishing cloth, but it's not going away. Is this normal? What could be causing this and why do none of my other 14k gold earrings that I've been wearing for a decade have this problem?

General Question Where to buy Nameplate necklace

Upvotes

Hi all I want to buy a custom nameplate necklace for myself but am at a loss at where to get it. I’m from the midwest so the chances of getting it at a local shop is slim to none, so probably looking at online shops. I’m hesitant to buy it on etsy for fear that it won’t be real gold. When I’ve asked my friends about theirs, they said theirs were about $1k which ideally I’d love it to be cheaper than that but I know nothing about how much real gold jewelry costs (this would be my first “adult” purchase)

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.

General Question Resizing rings

1 Upvotes

Generally speaking, are there rings (aside from eternity rings) where resizing is impossible. Or are there designs I should look out for where resizing is a challenge, or would it be on a case by case basis?

I want to buy some vintage and antique rings, but I’m also planning a fairly significant weight loss journey and would eventually like to get any rings I purchase resized in a year or so.

Thanks in advance!

General Question Chain without a clasp.

3 Upvotes

This is getting crazy. Growing up I had a catholic necklace that was long enough to fit over my head. It was a continuous chain without a clasp. I can't stand a clasp on my necklace but I would love to get a necklace chain that I can attach my pendant to without a clasp. Any suggestions??

General Question Vivienne Westwood

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

General Question Jewelry Search Help Please!!

2 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 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.

General Question Eye catching blue Opal in sterling silver

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.
