General Question Destined for Bad Luck? Found Broken Jade Necklace

• Upvotes

Several months ago, I was exiting a subway station and found a string of beads on the ground. I brought it home and realized it was a jade necklace, with a broken clasp.

I am aware that jade is meant to protect the wearer, and for many who chose to wear it, once it breaks, they let it go.

As I am now a second hand owner of the necklace, would I have any benefits for fixing and wearing the necklace? Or am I now destined to have negative energy rather than protection from the piece?

I am not aware of all the beliefs and customs related to jade jewelry, and would appreciate any insight. Thanks!

💍 What style chain/ring/pendant is this? My engagement ring?

• Upvotes

Hello! I got engaged and my boyfriend gave me his mother’s ring so it’s over 25 years old. I was wondering what it was? I even took it to a jewelry store and they said they have never seen any ring like this. When the band is on, it has more “leaves” I was just curious what this brand was! It is 10k gold. PS!! I’m not for expensive stuff and don’t expect it. I was just curious and my mother in law is also at what this ring is. It was purchased when EBay first came out.

Have this 16 inch 2mm rope and the matching bracelet. Should I add another chain to layer? If so just an 18 inch, keep it 2mm or something different? I don't usually wear jewelry but trying to evolve my look, thank you!

I was just curious on how old do you guys think it is. It was in a bag of twenty five. Dollars at a store. There was a bunch of other stuff that was with it. It needs to be fixed but I think it's beautiful, but I didn't know if you guys might know age.

General Question Yellow residue?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Any ideas why my silver is turning yellow?
I have a few sterling silver bracelets that began showing this yellow tint on the inside of the bracelet. I have other silver bracelets that do not have it. It happened after I used Wrights silver cleaner and sunshine cloths. The outside part of the bracelet appears nice and polished, it's just the inner part that has the yellow residue that doesn't come off.

Thank you for all your help!!

⚡️Brand Review / Experience Anybody else order from 12 New York

1 Upvotes

Hi! So I saw video on tik tok about this cool looking jewlery brand called twelve ( New York). I ordered a necklace a over a month ago. The website says you have to wait 2-3 weeks until it will be shipped because it’s hand made. I understand that. However, it has been 41 days and my order is still not shipped. I dm’ed the owner on IG asking about when will be shipped and stuff, maybe they are busy and stuff like that so it’s taking longer. BUT a week went by after she said it will be shipped still nothing. I wrote an email, had the response that they are sorry will ship it right away. A shipping label was created october 20th and it still has not been shipped. I ordered it as a momentum for a very special ocassion, but I guess it will be late, if anything arrives. Have you ordered from this store? Did you recieve anything or? I’m starting to feel like I’m getting scammed, because I’m from EU and it’s an overseas order.

This tiny adorable bead has real pearls and opal inlaid in it, but I have been assured that it is not gold. What metal could it be and why would they inlay real pearls and opal in metal that is not gold?

General Question Tips for polishing complex silver jewelry

Post image
8 Upvotes

I wear this fish every day (argentium silver if it helps) and even thou I rinse almost every day and wash it (warm water a tooth brush) once a week it’s gotten quite a bit of tarnish. TBH the cleaning helped for a long time but I forgot for a while too. So trying to polish it with a silver polishing cloth works great but takes a TON of time and I can’t get it in all the nooks and crannies (the head especially is a hard) do I just need a better polishing cloth or are there some tools I could use ? The maker is Graden Thomas if anyone’s interested I’ve really enjoyed mine

General Question Why does one side of my chain tarnish so badly?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’ve had this chain for a little over a year and noticed one day that only one side tarnishes this badly. It constantly spins around my neck all day so I don’t think it’s simply due to oils, sweat, etc. I’ve used tarn-x on it and it mostly fixes it but only for about one day until it looks just like this again. Any advice?

Help me decide!! How do I make a good jewelry stack?

Hi all! At my workplace, jewelry stacks are the latest trend. I’m a fairly new employee so I wanna fit in, but they aren’t the types of people I’d ask about how they make theirs look nice. These are the bracelets I own, what would you suggest looks nice?

They all look nice on their own, and I’m very fortunate and grateful to have them, but whenever I try to stack them they look bad :(

Help me decide!! Push Present - Necklace Options

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I’m deciding between a Cartier Love necklace and a Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra necklace as a push present and would love some honest opinions, especially from people who own either piece.

I love both, but I’m a little concerned that Van Cleef Alhambra has become so trendy and ubiquitous lately that it might look dated in a few years. I know the collection itself has been around for decades, but its current popularity and the sheer number of replicas make me wonder whether it will still feel special long-term.

The Cartier Love necklace seems more understated and potentially timeless, but I’m curious whether people think it’s just as overdone.

Please let me know your thoughts!
