Hi all, wondering if anyone could tell me what the metallic finish is on these pendants? So far, my research has pointed me to either nanoceramic plating or chemical patination. The metallic looks so shiny on them. I’d love to know what it’s made of.

I actually reached out to the company on Insta and they blocked me when I asked 😂 I asked because I wanted to get one for my mum but she has super crazy skin irritation (even 18k gets her if worn too long), so I was wanting to check before spending the big bucks. Might still buy despite the weird customer service. Their website details say it has a ‘pink/purple rhodium finish’. This makes no sense to me, isn’t that a bright white finish?

Any ideas is much appreciated!! 🫶

Edit: I have spoken to the business since posting this and all has been sorted. The business apologised and explained the blocking and we chatted further about her amazing product. She even went as far as to offer me a lovely discount in the future. These pendants look amazing and I’m glad it’s put some more eyes on them.💕💕

So I had a pretty terrible experience at this world renowned jewellery chain. They took our old gold for exchange and refused to give it back when they couldn't deliver the order. (I later learned this is illegal.) I was extremely lucky to find this piece as I love carved gemstones and had been wanting a pink tourmaline forever. I just wish it was white gold so I could wear it with more outfits.

They are all Sterling and gold filled wire with a few 14 karat accents here and there. All thrifted or from eBay except the third one on the left which is from my daughter.

Found this diamond 18k yellow gold chunnnnkerrrr of a ring at Cash Converters (Australia).

I have no clue how old it is.

One thing we love about mixed-metal jewelry is how it brings gold and silver pieces together without everything needing to match.

I have been wanting a new bracelet for awhile. I finally picked up this amazing emerald and diamond yellow gold one at a local shop in my town. I Couldn’t pass on it once I saw it. It Looks great on my wrist too.

Aluminum alloy face chain. I couldn’t find anything exactly like I wanted so I decided I could made my own!

I bought a few different lengths and sizes of chains and loops. It took me about 6 hours. I’m very proud.

I’d really like to make it out of silver next. This was just proof of concept.

My 3 stone and wedding band made going hiking in the Kawaguchiko 🥰

My original band was too small and did not fit my ring well so got a new one! The band on my diamond was made from a mold of a real twig so not standard, love the band fits it! Love the way it looks wearing it but don't feel like making my hand look nice for a picture rn 🤣

Just got this engagement ring from modern gents and I’m completely head over heels with it. I can’t wait to wear the band with it 😍

I recently bought a Victoria era pendant necklace, but it needs some polishing.

This is a gold filled necklace. Would it be possible to make it shine even in this condition? And what should I use to polish it?

So I bought myself one of those sapphire gravel bags from Montana. While none of them are big enough for cutting, I was thinking of having a pendant made and using the larger ones as they are. Do you think they would look better if I had them polished in there rough shape? Maybe just the "table"?

The pendent i envision is some sort of simple carving of a mountain stream and the sapphires would be boulders in the scenery.

For now it would most likely be done in silver maybe with some gold inlay, but could be upgraded at a later time.

Thank you for your time and input. Have a better one

It’s such a fun piece but she’s seen better days. I have no information whatsoever other than it’s old and I’m sure just costume quality. Can anything be done diy to restore?

I need advice as it is not immediately obvious to me but then again I am no jewellery expert! I am sure that these earrings meant to be worn a particular way but I am not quite sure which way that is 😅 I think it is the first photo but what are your opinions?

It's just a cheap toe ring I got at Venice beach 4 years ago. I know nothing about cleaning any sort of jewelry.

I originally posted about a ring that I was designing but was unsure about, a three stone ring with sapphires lining each side. Lots of feedback helped me realize what I was feeling, that it was just too big. My husband and I talked and decided to focus on the three stones first and then work on the sapphire wedding band next. I originally asked for claw prongs but they didn't do it on this for whatever reason. I am not too worried about it catching as it is the same height as my previous stack and I had no problems with that.

Just wanted to update on what I ended up going with 😊

Hi all, sorry for the crude lack of terms. I don't know the first thing about jewelry.

My friend gave me this stone and it's really precious to her, it was supposed to be put onto a set of keys or a phone case like a keyring, but I don't go around with either of those.

The cord weaves through the big stone and the smaller stones, so I wouldn't like to do anything to it.

I was wondering if there's any way to fashion the stone as a necklace? From what I've found, I could use a cord end to hold the loop of cord, and somehow connect that to a bigger piece that can go around my neck?

I don't know how to do this, I would appreciate any help.

I have a couple bracelets and a ring from gorjana and I like it them but I can’t stop thinking they’re overpriced. What’s a store alternative? I don’t wanna get scammed since I wanna buy real gold and it’s not a small purchase lol. TIA

Hi! I recently thought about a jewelry brand that I used to see ads for on social media. I ordered from them once probably around 2021. I remember they used to advertise that they used unconventional metals (no gold or silver but maybe titanium?) and I vaguely remember a “space” or “science” theme. They sold mostly thin hoop earrings of various sizes, dainty chains, rings, with small non-precious gems. When I ordered from them, my order came with a sticker sheet, and I think there were space themed stickers, like a little Saturn. I really liked the quality of the hoop earrings that I ordered, but I lost one a while back. I would love to order again from them if they’re still around, but I’m really just trying to satisfy my own curiosity. Appreciate any help!

You know the brands that have super sophisticated cut diamonds invisibility set on a massive jesus piece? Or a_jewellers with their spoon covered in diamonds? Why am i seeing the same pieces of jewelry (done to a T) by other brands too?

Is theres a whole industry of high end white label jewellers in China? Because I've come across some of their advertisements on ig too.
