Hey everyone! I am looking around at online resale marketplaces to try and sell my 3.5 year old yellow gold love necklace. I've got the original box and the authentication papers which I am hoping will help a bit, but not sure where to look to get the best value.

It currently retails for just over $2,800 and id love to take home around $1600 - does this seem possible/reasonable?

I've been looking into TheRealReal, Worthy, Ebay, etc. and wanted to see if anyone here has any experience with any of these sites or any others and if you think my take home goal is realistic? Also curious if anyone knows more about how the prices are set on resale sites? Do they pick a price for me, or do I decide what I am comfortable with and let them know?

Would love any advice/direction that anyone has to offer! Not interested in selling to a local jewelry store - already got a couple quotes and they seemed pretty low compared to what I am seeing online.

Thanks in advance!

Lately I can’t stop noticing how much the setting changes the entire personality of a pink diamond.

Some feel elegant, some feel vintage, some feel super modern.

Which one would you actually wear?

I found this necklace in a thrift store in Sedona, AZ. I’m assuming it’s jade? Not sure how to verify if it’s real or not, but I think it’s gorgeous regardless. Any tips or tricks on how to tell if it’s real? TIA

Saw this lab-grown diamond ring recently and the way it handles light is honestly pretty unusual.
At certain angles it almost stops looking like a ring and starts looking like some kind of floating crystal loop.
Would be interesting to hear what people think of this style in person.

I'm stuck between a radiant cut and a princess cut for my engagement ring. I like that they're both square-ish, but they have such different looks. If you could only pick one, which would you choose and why? I'd love to hear opinions from people who own either cut or compared both before buying.

My daughter has been talking nonstop about pink sapphire rings lately and wants one when she’s older. I don’t know much about gemstones, but I’d love to hear some recommendations from people who own one or have shopped for them before.

Are there certain shades of pink that you prefer? Any jewelers or settings you’d recommend? I’m just starting to learn about sapphires and would appreciate any tips before I start browsing.

I’ve been building a small silver jewelry brand for the past few months, and one thing I’ve been wondering is whether people can actually tell the difference between handmade jewelry and mass-produced pieces just by looking at them. These are a few rings from my latest collection, and I’d genuinely love some honest feedback. When you see them, do they feel any different from what you’d typically find in stores or online? If yes, what stands out? the design, the finish, the details, or something else? As someone who’s spent way too many hours obsessing over tiny design choices and details, I’m curious to know what people notice at first glance.

I've been wearing a cheap stainless ring for a while and it's already scratched to death, so I'm trying to avoid making the same mistake with my actual wedding band. I don't mind a few marks, but I'd like it to last decades without warping or cracking.

For people who've had theirs for years, what materials has held up the best ?

We got a commission for this old mine cut cushion diamond ring! This is a 4.34ct diamond on yellow gold band. Interestingly, the customer wanted the band to be 3mm thick. What do you think? Does the thick band work?
