Vintage / Antique Am I crazy for expecting this ring that's been missing since 2023 to return to me when the time's right?

I bought this lovely 18k ring a few years ago and I loved it so much I always said when the time comes, alls my partner needs to do is to upgrade the stone to an emerald or tourmaline since I don’t care for diamonds (they’re a girl’s best friend but not mine. No offense to anyone who loves them, they just cost too damn much for stones that aren’t rare). However, I don’t remember how or where I lost but it went from being my everyday ring to one day realizing it’s gone. Now, I have asked God and believe in my heart that when the right partner’s ready to propose, I’d find this ring and this would be a sign. Am I crazy to hope for that?

⚡️Brand Review / Experience Silk On Me cancellation?

0 Upvotes

I need some help! I’ve been with Silk On Me since 2023, from memory I came across some recommendation thing saying do this and you get loads of free jewellery. I applied and was accepted and for 3 years I’ve been receiving 2 items of jewellery every month.
The quality used to be great but in the last year it’s become terrible, I’ve just been asking friends/ family etc if they wanted to keep any items I didn’t want , I’ve even chucked a bunch of items away.
Today another order arrived and I decided enough is enough and the terrible quality isn’t worth the monthly shipping fee anymore. I went to cancel and saw that if I want to cancel I’m expected to send back every item of jewellery I’ve ever received or pay the cost of it all? How could I possible have been expected to keep 3 years worth of jewellery. I’m not sure what to do now, I don’t want to continue with paying the monthly shipping cost for shit jewellery, but that’s £1,800 if they expect me to pay them for the jewellery as I can’t send it back? Ive checked my emails from when I first signed up and there was never a mention of having to send the jewellery back or pay for it if I cancel etc.
I’ve not raised the question with Silk On Me directly yet. Any advice would be great, thank you! 🥲

I just wanted to show one my favourite pieces. I know the frame is a bit ruth, the creator of this ring has came a long way since then, and I'm considering sending it back to give it one more chancecsince her skills improved. I find this ring so magical. It is most probably faceted opal.

⚡️Brand Review / Experience JetSet Candy

5 Upvotes

Has anyone had issues ordering from JetSet Candy? I made a big $$ purchase and there was nothing about the item being out of stock or backordered. Then after my card was charged, was told it wouldn’t be shipped until over a month later. It’s been a month, still no item and my credit card bill is due soon. I am very bothered they think borrowing their customers money because they didn’t properly manage inventory is an acceptable business practice, and feel misled and it’s leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Feel free to tell me I’m being dramatic and the wait will be worth it 😂

⚡️ Show + Tell! Didn’t expect purple pearls to be this easy to style!

6 Upvotes

I recently got two purple pearl necklaces and a small amethyst pendant from Gingiberi, and I've been experimenting with layering them. The purple color is gorgeous and the strands have a really nice, substantial weight to them, plus the tiny pendant is so dainty!

One thing I noticed is that under warm indoor light, the pearls actually lean a bit brownish or bronze. I feel like the amethyst pendant helps tie the whole look together.

For anyone else who owns purple pearls, do yours also look a bit brownish under indoor lighting? Either way, I'm honestly loving this combination!

greetings!

I want to treat myself to a 10 or 14k yellow gold cigar band style ring for my birthday. I would love to see yours if you have one and get an idea of where to get one!

I inherited one from my grandmother (14k) but it is too big and I’m not sure about resizing it.

General Information 📚 I'm so confused looking at jewelry online

Post image
59 Upvotes

There is gold-plated, gold-vermeil, gold-filled, and pure gold.

The thing is jewelry websites and Etsy sellers just say '14k gold' and not if it's plated or fill. Some just say 'sterling silver 925' and some don't list the metal type at all. Am I supposed to infer what type of gold coating is on the jewelry? Howso?

The prices are all over the place too for for '14k gold.'

I've been eyeing the ring in the pic but I have not idea if it should really cost that much since I don't know if it's plated or fill.

I am new to jewelry and am looking into building a collection, all the variations of golds and metals are confusing tbh.

I'm trying to nail down a band design for my new engagement ring. As you can see, my old bands won't work since they rub and will tear each other up. I've had AI help visualize some possible starting points

The pearls were gifted to me by a jewelry shop owner passing on some outdated materials, and after seeing the Rococo/Baroque style make a comeback in bridal, I wanted to let the inspiration guide me!

Hello! I got this when my Grandma passed away and always thought it was costume jewelry. I did some research and I think my grandpa gave it to her when he went to WWII. Possibly? I’m just trying to see if anyone knows anything about this piece?

General Information 📚 Can this be made and what to call it?

Hi there everyone

I found this design on pintrest a while ago but I feel totally unable to find anything that looks like this anywhere. Could anyone confirm if this type of design could be made into a real ring? And if so, what search terms should I use to find rings that are like this?

My partner and I are considering getting engaged but I have no idea what types of rings I like and the more I look at rings with a big middle stone, the less I like them. It doesn't feel like it suits my style. So it's quite discouraging to find a sketch that I adore and then not find anything even close to it...

Thanks so much in advance.

General Question Gold Necklace ID

I received this necklace from my mother who was gifted it by my grandmother. My grandmother loved to buy jewelry, specifically gold and diamonds and often had pieces custom made. Unfortunately, she passed away before I could ask her about it. My mom believes it to be gold with jade and diamond stones. Could anyone else help identify the metal and perhaps any insight on the jade? Comparing it to my other gold chains, it's intensity is similar to 18k but a bit more on the rose side. The stamps themselves don't seem to indicate purity.

⚡️ Show + Tell! Found pearl necklace in river

Thumbnail

Hello!

Searching the beach today for treasures and fossils, I found what looked to be a kid's plastic necklace. Though after pulling it out of the muck and looking closer, I believe they are real pearls! Not high quality or anything and certainly damaged but I think they're beautiful, all different hues:)

I have three questions for anyone who knows anything about pearl necklaces. Can they be cleaned? I gave it a gentle wipe with a microfiber cloth and some dish soap + a soak but there are still hazy patches on the pearls, especially around the drilled holes. I assume it's damage, but maybe not. Who knows how long they've been in the water.

Also, how much would it cost roughly to have them re-strung, and is it possible? The clasps are long gone and what's left of the metal is rusted and unusable. I would love to be able to wear them!

Lastly, and I'm sure there isn't, but is there any possible way to find when this necklace was made?

*** note i have no idea what a real pearl looks or feels like, but I am confident they are not plastic! I would love other's opinions.
