Will I be robbed when I go out wearing so many silver jewelry tonight?
Has anyone ordered from Jacoje recently? Did it ship in a timely manner? Did it arrive as advertised?
New-to-me 19th century Indonesian ring. The original gemstone was replaced with a beautiful natural opal. Probably too feminine for some, but I like it.
3.5mm 20in 925 ice cut
4mm 22in 14k ice cut
Knicks pendant!
14k gold over 925 with moissanite pinky ring
I got this ring among a few other pieces when my grandfather passed. His father was from Scotland and I was told he had this made before he came to the states. It’s a two tone 14k w Celtic design. Does anyone have an idea of the makers mark? I can’t find much online I’m guessing it’s maybe just a small jeweler. Any knowledge welcome!
Specifically the e thankyou!
Finally pulled the trigger on this 4mm. 8 inch Franco Bracelet. 14k Diamond Cut 17.7 Grams. Kinda wish I went 4.5mm but my pockets said otherwise.
I’m looking for a starter gold piece either a figaro or curb bracelet/chain in 10 or 14k and everywhere I look people are charging 4x melt price. Is that just how it is or are jewelers just really proud of what they make?
What do you guys think about diamond cut?
( I know pic is bad quality)
I’m pretty new to jewelry. I started getting silver pieces because I have good relationship with the owner of my local pawn shop where I get my silver coins and bullion and he started selling me pieces for melt. I kinda like what I’ve got going on but just kind of new and not sure if I’m doing too much I’ve only had positive comments so far but I guess just wanna show the ensemble and see what yall think. I need to change the date on watch to the fourth June only had 30 days in it so I’m always a day ahead in those months until I fix it. Happy 4th! (It’s all silver minute the right on my first finger and the oura ring on pinky right hand)
I’ve bought and sold a lot of chains over the years and I just wanted to create a buyers guide for any who is new to jewelry or looking to upgrade

I bought my first handmade Cuban about 1.5 months ago. I went with someone totally unheard of in this subreddit, Tios Jewlery here in SWFL, there aren’t many hand made Cubans to be had, you have to drive over to the east coast. I wasn’t to keen on the drive just to have to wait 6-8 weeks minimum for a new chain so I figured i would explore my options here locally. I went with tios, no wait time, the chain was just waiting for me, obviously I got lucky that they had the exact combo I was looking for, that won’t always be the case. Links are super tight and chain hangs dead straight, best of all, I paid about 200 less than I would have at garcias at the time for a same size chain. I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts and how you feel the links compare to the normal big hitters like DJI and Garcias.
