I especially love this vintage ring✨

When I was getting ready to go out to dinner with friends today, I felt like my outfit was missing something—it didn't feel complete. But the moment I put on this ring, it instantly and perfectly complemented my entire look!

I'd love to see everyone's everyday outfits!

Did I trust the “fast and easy” jewelry insurance process too much?

I insured my engagement ring and a few gold pieces with Jewelers Mutual a while back. The process was really fast and they didn’t ask for an appraisal or documentation proving value or ownership, which I didn’t question at first since they approved the policy and were taking my payments.

Then recently I came across someone’s claim experience where they said they’d been insured with them for years but when they lost their jewelry they were asked for proof of ownership and a recent appraisal that apparently wasn’t required when they signed up. I’ve never insured jewelry before so maybe I just didn’t know better but now I’m confused.

Should I get everything appraised and documented now even though they never asked? I’d also rather switch insurers if this could cause problems later because isn’t the whole point of insurance knowing you’re covered when you actually need to file a claim? I really don’t want to find out I’m missing something after the jewelry is already gone.

Vintage 18K Solid Gold Natural Colombian Emerald & Diamond Ring | Size 6.5 | $700 Shipped

The center stone is a natural Colombian emerald, approximately 0.35 ct, with two natural round diamonds on each side, approximately 0.25 ct each (~0.50 cttw).

I purchased the ring about two years ago from a reputable vintage jeweler in Boston for $800 and will include proof of purchase. I got a great deal on it at the time, and a comparable ring would retail for considerably more.

I also had the ring independently reviewed today at a jeweler in the NYC Diamond District, who confirmed the emerald and diamonds are natural and verified the approximate stone sizes listed above (which I had already been told by Martin when I originally purchased it).

It’s incredibly sparkly and beautiful in person. I simply never wear it because I’m not much of a ring person, so I’d rather it go to someone who will enjoy it.

Details:
● 18K solid gold
● Natural Colombian emerald: ~0.35 ct
● 2 natural diamonds: ~0.25 ct each / ~0.50 cttw
● All natural stones
● Vintage
● Size 6.5 — can be resized up or down
● Proof of purchase included
$700 shipped within the US.

An oval flanked by pear side stones will always be a top tier trilogy combination. What do you think of this balance?

There’s something different about rose cuts in an antique floral setting. Timeless or too vintage?

Rose-cut diamonds with a dark setting ~does the contrast make the facets stand out more?

So in love with this baroque pearl necklace! It was a little gift to myself, and I’ve been wearing it for a month now. Still no tarnish at all! ✨What kind of necklaces do you all like? Could you share some with me?

What’s a realistic price range for a good-quality lab grown tennis bracelet? I’m seeing such a wide range online and would love to know what others paid.

Help me choose!

I want to buy my husband a jewelrybox. He doesn’t have that much jewelry (1 necklace, 2 bracelets and 4 or 6 rings). It feels like every jewelry box that’s advertised for men is mainly for watches or way too big. I found 2 options that I kind of like, but I’m not really sure if it’s “manly” enough.

The first one is a wooden box 30x20x7cm

The second one is black with golden details 25x18x4,5cm

The second option is also available in navy blue.

Which one would you choose? Or is it all too feminine?

For Sale - Vintage 14k Gold Art Nouveau Australian Crystal Opal With Full Spectrum color! (B4-B5 brightness)

u/FlatbedtruckingCA — 3 days ago

the piece i thought was a waste of money is now my favorite

bought a stainless steel chain. 40 or something. figured if it was junk id just toss it. that was like 2 years ago. still wearing it

its not flashy doesn't scream for attention. but it's clean, simple, and i forget it's there. no tarnish, no green skin, no hassle.

funny how the stuff you don't overthink ends up working best.

anyoe else have a piece that surprised them?
