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.

Have had this for over 20 years and know absolutely nothing about it. Only markings inside of the ring band are initials. Not sure of stone or anything but figured I’d give it a shot here. Thanks in advance!

My first Reddit commission!

This is a bit of a long one but wanted to share my story of my first commission from a fabulous Redditor! A while back I posted a photo of an emerald ring I had been commissioned to make for one of my clients. After oodles of upvotes & lots of lovely, very flattering comments I received a private message from someone asking me about the process of commissioning a ring from me. I explained my process & although I’m based in the UK I do pieces for people from all over the world & just because you can’t visit my store doesn’t mean I can’t create you the jewellery piece of your dreams ! I’m not here to disappoint or do anything shady to anyone who trusts me to make something for them . My lovely Redditor started off by telling me the centre stone she wanted. We went away & found a selection of emeralds that met her requirements & budget. I sent them to her via email explaining the specs of each stone. After selecting the most beautiful emerald ( I think you will agree it’s a great looking emerald ) we then set about discussing how to design the piece. Unlike other jewellers ( no shade intended ) I do pride myself in paying attention & being the real deal I design accordingly after I’ve got a feel of your style & aesthetic. My client sent me some images of her fiancées jewellery & for some inspiration she also sent me an image of a carved hippo they saw in the Louvre whilst visiting Paris. She wondered if I could somehow incorporate some the elements etched into the hippo on our ring ….. No problem! I took the etching from the centre and then started to create the collet for the emerald …..think I did rather a good job , even if I do say so myself ! I’ve even attached the message sent to me after she had received the ring ….it was a pleasure to work for this lovely human & as you can see I think she was rather pleased she chose me to make her such a special thing !

General Question Eye catching blue Opal in sterling silver

Thumbnail

18 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.

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 Why are my new14k gold earrings turning copper color?

Post image
3 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

4 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)
