How to clean this pearl necklace?

This necklace was my mom’s for 40 years, and I desperately want to look after it. But she lived in squalor, the necklace smells absolutely disgusting. I’m pretty sure they’re real pearls and each pearl has a knot in between.

How do I clean it to get it really clean while protecting the pearls?

Thank you!

Had this bow+heart necklace custom made, but everyone thinks it’s a butterfly

I mean I’m fine with it being a butterfly too, but what do you guys think? 😂

New custom ring!

I bought this opal directly from the miners from Australia (broken river mining co.) and had this incredible jeweler (Todd Alan) set the stone. Todd Alan does hand swirled or braided rings. I love scarab jewelry but have never found anything that I really love so this is the first of two scarab rings I had made this year. I’m so happy with how this came out, truly one of a kind!!

Unfamiliar with jewellery and realised I might have overpaid

I bought A LOT of jewellery from this brand, like I did a whole haul, and stupidly after I bought it I did a little research as I know nothing about jewellery and all my jewellery tends to be under £10 lol. I really wanted to splurge on myself.

And I realised after research its 18k gold plated BRASS. I thought I was getting some high quality stuff. So now I'm stuck with jewellery that is going to tarnish and look brown and look horrible after a couple months. Why is the price so expensive given that its just brass??

Anyone who has experience with regalrose?

Heya, i ordered a Choker off of regalrose and its like.. idk. Super cheap quality (hollowed out and lightweight) and also super bright in colour. Like way brighter than any other jewelery i own. Will it get darker?

Couldn't decide and went overboard on SOTD

Sometimes you just need as much color as possible. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was scrolling through jewelry and came across this 🤣

I bought a pair of earrings that haven't arrived yet, so this is not a sponsorship; I just can't stop laughing at these pictures!

I’m a gold jewelry gal but sometimes I find a silver piece that’s too pretty to pass up

Got this sterling silver and moissanite ring on Aliexpress! I almost never wear silver, all my jewelry is gold because I hate tarnished jewelry and I also just like gold color more on my skin tone. But this ring was calling to me!

trying to make this minimalist pearl necklace work for everyday wear 👖

i usually only wear pearls for dressier stuff, but i grabbed this v-bale pendant because the pearl luster and roundness were literally perfect.

i mostly live in jeans and basic tees on the weekends though. does anyone else wear single pearls casually? just trying to figure out if it looks out of place outside of an office.

Can someone help me identify this ring it’s stamped 585 or 685

Is this white gold? I’m confused by the stamp bc it says it’s 15k gold. Haven’t found anything similar online
Any help is appreciated thank you

Amber pendent, found in antique shop on vacation…

As title says…

So, a couple of years ago I was visiting with my son and we browsed some antique shops. I saw this pendant and bought it. I’m not usually a huge fan of amber, but this caught my attention. I don’t even recall what I paid for it. I can see that it’s silver, but I have no idea how old it is, so can’t provide that detail. The person at the shop didn’t know, it wasn’t from their part of the store, but I assume it’s at least “vintage-ish” since it was at an antique store.

Anyway, it sat in my jewelry drawer until this past week, because I was hoping to find a chain that looked good with it, but, I finally just decided to just wear this on a cord because I am apparently very fussy about chains. Lol. I actually think it looks really cute on this cord now, wish I’d thought of that sooner, I could have been wearing it all this time.

THE MYSTERY RINGS.

local auction has these listed in a mixed lot. obviously not easy to tell definitively from the one photo, but do the marks/styles look at all familiar to those with experience in collecting or selling old pieces? most curious about the two ‘gold’ rings at the top and the ‘art deco’ one to the right. there’s quite a high bid already, so the assumption is there’s something there. thankful for any insight.
