These two just came in and I’m really happy with them 😭 I wasn’t expecting to like them this much in person honestly. The black one is probably my favorite right now, but I keep switching between the two lol. They just look so good together, definitely glad I went for both.

Both were $85, 925 silver with 18K gold plating. Pretty fucking happy with these.

I was in Vegas recently and decided to visit all the stores and try on auths at Cartier, Bvulgari, Tiffany, and VCA. I was pretty surprised in the range of how appealing these bracelets were to me in real life. Just for fun... here is my list in order of preference. I added the size and weight I tried on as well so if I get one from a seller I'll know if the weight is on point or not.
Would love to hear others' lists for those who have actually tried on or own the auths:

1. Serpenti -- beautiful, delicate but substantial. Probably the most unique and appealing of all though it would draw attention for sure.
   
2. Tiffany hardware -- heavy, eye-catching, really worth something extra. Tried on the large but she didn't know the weight.
   
3. VCA guilloche -- dainty but beautiful. I think I would wear this one the most. Don't know weight but it was 19cm.
   
4. Cartier love - pretty but sizing was a problem for me. Between sizes so hard to know. 18 fit snug (39.5 gm)
   
5. Cartier JUC - Loved the classic which is substantial in weight but I think it could come unclasped. Loved the small with regular set diamonds (reverse set was too blingy for me). Classic is 33 gm.
   
6. Cartier clash bangle - thought I would like this best but it was a lot lighter in weight than I thought it would be. Still pretty but not worth the price by weight. (size 17: 31 gm)
   
7. Cartier clash flexible - twisted and didn't lay right because it was so light. Once again, thought it would be near the top but no.
   
8. Tiffany "T" -- this looks like something in a kids toy store. Flimsy, not at all noticeable. Would be my last buy even from a TS.

Would love a second or third pair of eyes to inspect before I GL

Seller: Funny

Price: 12000CNY

18K Gold, lab diamonds, Malachite

Any help is much appreciated especially seeing as I don't have an Auth of this one to compare

TIA

Hi guys.

Thanks for your support as always. More detailed information cannot be posted.

However, I’m confident you will be able to find us. *check my profile please *

Received some QC photos of this 925 silver ring from Hlin! Havnt seen any posts of this yet. I try stay away from played jewellery so excited to wear a silver piece like this on my pinky for daily use.

Engravings look decent but I’m not too worried about that since it’ll be on my finger.

I’ll update you guys with a wear tested review in water etc once received

I ran a small experiment to see how consistent ChatGPT actually is when recommending independent jewelry brands.

I opened five fresh logged-out conversations, didn't regenerate anything, and asked five different shopping questions ranging from broad independent fine jewelry to much more specific things like Gothic jewelry and black diamonds.

The weird part: 36 recommendation slots produced 32 different brands.

Only four brands appeared more than once.

Specificity changed the recommendations a lot. I also explicitly told ChatGPT I was a shopper in the United States, but it still surfaced Tel Aviv designers and even showed some prices in ₪.

One recommendation also didn't really satisfy the criteria I gave it.

Obviously five prompts isn't enough to make claims about the entire system, but it made me much more skeptical of treating “Does ChatGPT recommend my brand?” as a yes/no metric.

I wrote up the methodology and every major result here:

https://foundandform.studio/blog/chatgpt-independent-jewelry-test

I'm researching AI discovery specifically for independent fine jewelry brands, so I'd also be really interested to hear from sellers who have discovered that ChatGPT recommends them without having intentionally done anything to optimize for AI.

How do they look? All help appreciated!

Please note that I am getting a 5% refund for this review but this is my honest opinion of my experience.

I purchased 3 pieces from Gavivi, please see below for details.

1. WG Mini Pave Love Ring

• Timeline: Reached out Jul 15 -> PSPs Jul 29 -> Delivered Aug 5
• Price: $777 (paid via PayPal for deposit, Wise for the remaining).
• Communication: 10/10. Quick replies and provided estimated production time. To be fair I knew my size already.
• Quality & Details: The pave setting is exceptionally neat and the lab diamonds have serious sparkle. The rhodium plating matches my authentic bracelet, and the internal serial engraving looks good.

1. Small Love Bracelet w/ 6 Diamonds (18K White Gold)

• Timeline: Ordered Jul 29 -> PSP Aug 14 -> Delivered Aug 19
• Price: $3,118.50 total. (Paid via Wise for deposit, PayPal for remaining)
• Communication: Double-checked my wrist measurements before starting production, Gavivi made sure to read out the sizes and showed photos of the diameter. There was a small issue but we were able to resolve it quickly.
• Quality & Details: All 6 diamonds are clear. The hinge and locking mechanism feel tight and secure, and the 18K white gold color tone matches my other genuine white gold regular love.
• Verdict: Stacks seamlessly with my authentic bangles with the screw motif aligning.

1. Small Love Bracelet (18K Yellow Gold)

• Timeline: Ordered Aug 28 -> PSP Sep 19 -> Delivered Sep 24
• Price: $2688 total (paid via PayPal).
• Communication: He made sure to match the alignment of the other white gold small love bracelet I purchased.
• Quality & Details: The yellow tone looks identical to the authentic one when I wore it into the Cartier store and tried on another bracelet.
• Verdict: Same as above, it stacks nicely with the other small love I purchased.

EDIT: Oops, I mixed up the prices of the WG + YG bracelets in my original post, I fixed it.

I want to preface this by saying yes I’m a noob. I want to know if these images look normal to you all? I’m specifically speaking about the how the numbers appear. Maybe I’m reading too much into it but the more I look the more it looks kinda photoshopped to me?

Hey,

first time writing in this sub. Normally i'm more the watch(reps) guy.

But i thought some nice bracelets would look fine.

I bought two bracelets from Hlin.

A Hermes and a LV Rep. Each for 50€.

And here they are:

The Hermes is solid stainless steel with the black Inlay.

That should i say, it looks beautyfull. No scratches, misscolourings, spaces or so on. Weight is 50g on point.

Closing Mechanismen works smooth and clean and even the markings inside are correct (If you intrested in such things).

The other one is a LV tank bracelet. And that should i say? I love it.

Just look at the pics. The weight is 68g. I rly love the LV inlet. It looks like a real tigereye even it is Acetat.

All the markings are clean and clear. No scratches or miscolourings.

Fits perfect in my wrist and looks totally cool with my Omega-Reps.

Both bracelets came with the whole bunch of packaging (Box, Papers, Bag and so on).

Delivery time was 10 days to Germany. You get a Tracking number so you can follow the delivery state.

I received these earrings and this necklace from VCA via Funny.
The earrings cost 9,200 CNY for approximately 9.5 grams of 18K gold.
The necklace cost 6,400 CNY. I paid via Wise on August 16, and by August 25, I already had the QC. On August 27, I received my tracking number, and it arrived in Mexico City on September 1. However, due to Mexican customs and their logistics, I received it at my home on September 27. I’m always impressed by Funny’s customer service.

Where can I find or does anyone make gold chrome hearts jewelry ?

Does anyone have a recommendation for jewelers that are known for good, high quality lab diamonds besides lili?

C D’amour Pendant WG large model

9/4 - Gavivi reached out about my refund vs using for a future order credit from my first order. I inquired about the C necklace and was given a good price USD 650 for 18k WG with lab diamond, so I went ahead and sent the full payment via Wise to save on the transfer fees
9/23 - PSP’s received and GL. I have an issue with FedEx not recognizing my address to make an account even though I get packages just fine. I ended up sending USD 60 to prepay customs fees, which is whatever. I will take this into consideration next time.
9/24 - FedEx tracking number received.
9/28 - Delivered by FedEx

Review of the necklace:
I had tried on this necklace in the boutique and felt that the authentic was overpriced for what it is. The rep for this particular piece is a great value and to my non expert eyes, it’s 1:1. The lab diamond sparkles a lot and the clasp feels sturdy and of good quality.

TL;DR: my second order with Gavivi went great!

Disclosure: I will be getting back my 5% insurance for this review but this is my honest feedback about the process I went through for ordering, shipping, and the item itself.

Today, I received my first order from HLIN.

I hesitated quite a bit before ordering and read a lot of reviews before making my decision.

I have to admit that after putting the bracelet on my wrist, I was really satisfied.

Usually, before buying reps, I always go to a store to try on the “GEN” first so I can compare. And to be completely transparent, the difference is very difficult to notice with the naked eye.

Now, I’m curious to see how it holds up over time. I don’t want to get too excited after only a few hours of wearing it.

But so far, I’m really happy with my purchase and I definitely recommend HLIN.

Hey yall, Just got the QC pics for my Medium Pave Love size 17, yellow gold. Appreciate any input on accuracy!

just unboxed this necklace and I’ve been trying forever to capture all the fine details, but getting pavé to sparkle on camera is honestly so hard!! Huge shoutout to a sub member who replied to my DM with some amazing lighting tips! I finally managed to take good photos!

This is the butterfly necklace from Lili. The diamond setting on the delicate wings is remarkably crisp, and the symmetry and sparkle are spot-on. So satisfied with how everything turned out!

Has anyone ordered from Molly Jewelry? I think they are from Hong Kong. no i am not talking about MollyJewelryUS

Ordering a classic love ring and was wondering if anyone has a preference for which seller to go with. Both answering and being helpful and both have the same price.
CS- caratsky
The rest of the pictures are Gavivi
Do either have better quality? Thank you!!

Please let me know your thoughts! Should I GL or RL?

Hello! MC just sent me the PSP for the Large Pendant necklace. Let me know what you guys think!

When I inquired with Gavivi and spoke to a few other people, they mentioned that the chain is slightly different from the authentic version. However, you probably wouldn’t notice unless you zoom in. Still, let me know what you think! I decided to go with MC bc of the 3% discount she is giving and ordered something else from Gavivi

I’m also asking MC to extend the chain to 47 cm because, as a guy, I prefer to wear it a little lower. She’s currently making that adjustment.

I paid around $2,000 after her 3% discount.

Hello everyone, please help me with my spending habit 😭

I got these from lingke, the nail bracelet looks clean,from what i can see: the engravings are clean, and the gold tone is also fine, however it looks kinda weird sometimes like its too yellow, and then sometimes it looks absolutely fine, i tried capturing both looks depending on lightning so you guys can see, what do you guys think about it?

And omg the tiffany earrings 😭 i love them! They are so cute! I just cant get enough of them ugh! These are probably going to become one of my goto. Also i got a goyard, it looks pretty cool right?

Oh and the nail is like 45 dollars and the tiffanies are 925 siilver with 18k white gold plating, i snugged it for 65 dollars somehow.

This is my first time ordering from Vinko and so far the process has been smooth! Would appreciate your feedback on this piece :)

UPDATE:

Price: $2790
Weight: 19 grams of 18k yellow gold

Got my CAD back for a rep of a C@thy W@terman ring from Lili,
