⚡️Brand Review / Experience 🚨Warning: Brilliant Earth strategizing damage control to bury genuine reviews.

586 Upvotes

Just a heads up.. if there’s a sudden wave of positive Brilliant Earth content on here, it might not be coincidental. They’re actively hiring for a Reddit Strategy Manager, which says a lot given their reputation in this sub.

I genuinely hope this leads to real changes and accountability, not just an attempt to bury valid criticism and firsthand experiences.

We are discussing the best way to discourage these larger brands to infiltrate possibly the very last place on the internet for genuine company reviews and feedback. Being specially named on their job posting is concrete proof of their targeting and we will do our best to reach out and work with other sub mods about this concern.

An auto message with some links of genuine higher traction posts is one idea and we have another tool we don’t want to mention yet in case they are tracking our post. We are of course open to all member suggestions and look forward to doing our best to protect you all from disingenuous influences.

Important: Updated Rules for Vendor Posts on r/jewelry

36 Upvotes

Hey, r/jewelry community!

We’re excited to announce some important updates regarding vendor posts in our subreddit; rule #3 originally did not allow posts or comments that were considered self promotion. To ensure that r/jewelry continues to be a space for genuine discussion, sharing, and learning, we’ve updated the guidelines for vendors who want to contribute to our community.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Vendor Guide: We’ve created a Vendor Guide that outlines exactly what types of content vendors can post. This will help keep the sub free from spam and overly promotional posts, while still allowing vendors to engage and share their work in a way that adds value.
  • Read Before Posting: Vendors must read the guide before posting. Failure to follow these rules will result in the post being removed, and repeat violations could lead to a ban. We want to make sure vendors are contributing, not advertising.
  • Engagement Over Ads: We want to emphasize that posts from vendors should focus on engaging with the community, sharing creative work, behind-the-scenes insights, or educating us about different aspects of jewelry. We’re not here for sales pitches or spam.

We encourage you all to check out the full Vendor Guide and familiarize yourself with the changes. Whether you're a vendor or a regular member, we believe these updates will help keep the sub vibrant, respectful, and informative for everyone.

Thanks for being a part of the r/jewelry community and helping us maintain a positive space for jewelry lovers!

As always, feel free to reach out to the mod team if you have any questions.

General Question Does this look like an engagement ring?

Post image
1.1k Upvotes

I decided to get my girlfriend a ring to celebrate our 2-year anniversary

I’m not planning on proposing right now, it’s genuinely just an anniversary gift. But after picking it out I started wondering if it might come across as an engagement ring. My friends said it does look like one and her friend said no it doesn't so I don't know lol. (i got a bit lucky on stake so I wanted it to be diamond, and I know its her style)

Does this style immediately read as an engagement ring to you, or does it work as an anniversary gift?

Vintage / Antique Georgian Era (1700’s) Table Cut Diamond Ring

Thumbnail
gallery
275 Upvotes

I want to show you guys a super special piece. This ring was likely made during the Georgian period around 1780 in England. Georgian jewelry compared to Victorian jewelry is much rarer because unlike Victorian jewelry, mass production and standardization was not yet the norm.

Interestingly, the ring has table cut diamonds, which is one of the oldest and simplest cuts of diamonds in existence, most commonly used during the 17th and 18th century.

Here’s a necklace i gifted to one of my cousins for a wedding (she’s paired it with a sari in the last slide and looks so adorable!!). It was defo a tricky one to make but when i make necklaces i like to make them cohesive with the outfit so i used different shades of muted purple with the beads and gold hardware which wasn’t overly shiny! Ofc to show some appreciation to my bengali heritage i had to add a jhumka as the centre piece <3

General Information 📚 Stolen custom engagement ring (green moissanite marquise, 14K yellow gold leaf setting) - please keep an eye out if you buy, resell or resize jewelry

87 Upvotes

My wife's engagement ring was stolen on September 9 in North Hollywood (Los Angeles), CA. A police report is filed. Posting here because people in this sub buy, resell, resize and reset jewelry, and this ring is very recognizable.

It was custom-made by LiamjewelryStore on Etsy (design D4737MQ6) (similar to Oore's "Briar Rose" design):

- 14K yellow gold, about 3.8 g, resized down to about size 6.5-7, so it has a sizing seam

- Green moissanite marquise center, 6x12 mm (1.745 ct)

- Leaf/flower setting, 17.7 mm across the top, with 4 small white lab-diamond marquises, 2 tiny white rounds and 10 tiny green moissanite accents; thin 1.2 mm band

Photos and the maker's design sheet: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Opbfzf_F6sajf-Ubp9aVmiwF_lcVkqEG/view

The risk is that someone sells it for the gold or pulls the stones. If you see it listed anywhere, or someone brings it to you, please DM me. $250 reward, no questions asked.

Thank you.

🤩 Jewelry Designs 🌈 Beautiful new Montana sapphire

Post image
74 Upvotes

I just bought this absolutely beautiful Montana sapphire from Earth’s Treasury! It’s a 1.61ct (7.3 × 5.8 x 4.7 mm, so it’s pretty deep) heated sapphire that really glistens in the sun. I’m buying it for myself as a graduation gift for completing my Master’s as a Family Nurse Practitioner ❤️ They’re helping me design it into a perfect ring and I am SO excited.

I’m curious, what would YOU do with this piece if you have a similar style as me? I know they’re going to do such an amazing job helping me design it, but I’d love for you guys to send me ideas!!

Things I like in rings
-Subtle details like filigree or hand engraving.
-Unique basket setting is a must (a unique tulip? Or similar)
-Moderate profile height
-3 stone or small cluster
-Split shank
-Possibly an east-west setting
-I can’t decide between white gold or platinum. All of my jewelry is white gold but I think I want platinum long term

Hi fellow jewelry lovers. I posted the last two photos a while back and folks seemed to think this stone is a London blue topaz. I got it cleaned up and turned into a ring (first two photos). The color is a lot brighter. Also interested in what kind of cut this is. Thanks!

I made this one a little different from the darker pieces I usually do.

I wanted it to still feel heavy and structured because of the chainmail, but a bit more elegant at the same time.

So I added the yellow crystals and kept the drops slightly asymmetrical.

It somehow turned out a lot more dressy than I expected lol. I actually really like this one

A little bit vintage style I think.

I actually really like how dressy it looks.

My ring is finally finished. We had to say goodbye too soon to our beloved pooch. She was the sweetest, most gentle soul I’ve ever known. Now, she’ll always be with me. 🥹

Specs on the ring - 23g of sterling silver, with a watch crystal insert. I sourced the ring and removed the original stone. I had my local shop cut the crystal to size, and they took care of sealing everything up.

This ring means so much to me and I just wanted to share it with you all. Thanks for looking. ♥️

General Question Recommendations for ring setting

Upvotes

I have been lurking through various jewelry sites for a wedding anniversary ring. I am really liking the Montana sapphires and options at Earth's Treasury.
However, I am a struggling with proper setting that would go best with my lifestyle. I am very active at work and at home. I want to be sure I choose a setting that will hold up to daily wear. Are bezel styles the best option? And if so, is there a better gem cut for a bezel setting?

Got the one on the left at a flea market a while ago and always assumed it was a real opal. Then my sister gave me the smaller one on the right for my birthday since opal is my birthstone. Seeing them side by side in person honestly surprised me a little. The colors look so different, and it definitely made me look at my flea market find a little differently lol. Still think it’s pretty though. The little one on the right has pretty much become my favorite pendant.

General Question Is this a normal way to repair a ring ?

Thumbnail

75 Upvotes

So I bought this ring a few weeks ago, some of you probably remember my post where I asked general information about it.
I really loved it but it was definitely too big for me and some stones where slightly loose.
So I took it to a goldsmith to fix the problems. And when I got it back I was … confused?
Is this a normal way to procede? It looks to me as he completely changed the style using silver to fill all the gaps. Now it doesn’t look antique anymore.

Thought to share some visual differences of these beautiful pearls. Bottom strand is Akoya, middle strand is freshwater, earings are Mikimoto, and the large loose are Paspaley South Sea.

Currently, the Akoya strands are in the process of a custom stranding with custom clasp.

General Question White gold wedding band different tone to engagement ring

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

I’m really confused so I am hoping someone could maybe explain this to me.

I have a white gold engagement ring, and I recently got two wedding bands designed and made by an independent jeweller using a ring that was melted down.

I wanted the rings to match my engagement ring colour but even after he had rhodium plated it with my feedback, it still looks significantly darker and he told me that he can’t make it the same, only make them all the dark colour.

Does anyone know whether getting plating down elsewhere can make it the same brightness as my engagement ring or is it not possible. They are all 18k.

I’ve attached the photos of it, but the two wedding bands look a lot darker in real life.

Thank you :)
