Need help!

I'm not even sure whether or not this would be the right subreddit, but I need advice/help for a necklace that I've been wearing.

This is a necklace I once found and absolutely fell in love with it. I've been wearing it for many years, and unfortunately, you can tell the wear and tear on the strings of it. They're super frail, and I'm afraid they're going to disintegrate completely, which is why I have been refraining from wearing it.

The string is adjustable, so you can adjust it to your preferable length.

Now, I need help from you, as I figured since this is a DIY subreddit, you would know much more than I would.

Would any of you perhaps know how to tie these kinds of knots on the pendant? Or do any of you have a tutorial?

It's my favourite necklace that I desperately want to wear again, so any help would be greatly appreciated!! :^)

Magic Tool Substitute

I guess Magic Tool Dip isn't available anymore. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good substitute that is removable like Magic Tool is?

CAD Check Please! Bezel Station Necklace

Bezel Station Necklace inspired by image attached. CAD inspired by this necklace. Do we think the diamonds are spaced similarly?

I make ai jewelry design while Im bored at work ♥️

I try and make somewhat practical designs but sometimes they definitely go into fantasy jewelry. Honestly I'm hoping to share this just for the off chance someone gets an idea to make something from one.

♥️♥️♥️ Thanks for looking ♥️♥️♥️💍

Cat charm glass bracelets

I've become addicted to making these! I love beading with charms, especially with animal/cat ones.

Gold ring stuck on my finger — where in Delhi can I get it safely cut off?

Hi everyone,

My gold ring has become badly stuck on my finger and I'm unable to remove it. I've already tried several methods at home, but nothing has worked.

I'm now looking for a reliable jeweller/goldsmith in Delhi who has experience safely cutting a gold ring off a finger and, ideally, repairing/resizing the ring afterwards.

Could anyone recommend:

A trusted goldsmith/jeweller who can cut a stuck gold ring safely?

Someone who has the proper ring-cutting tool rather than trying to force it off?

Any specific shops/markets in Delhi that provide this service?

Approximate charges for cutting and later repairing/resizing the ring?

Has anyone personally had a similar experience in Delhi?

I'm willing to travel anywhere in Delhi/NCR if the jeweller is experienced and careful.

If you've personally used a shop for this, please share the shop name, area, approximate cost, and your experience.

Thank you!

Confused on what this is… #jewlery

Okay so I’ve been buying random jewelry pieces cheap to make outfits and different types of jewelry with them. Does anyone know what this is? I just thought it’d be cool to make it with something. Does it go to a belt?

Had a ring reset with new stone

Stone is same size 6x8 mm
Prongs were buttons but I asked for claws
One claw has snapped off a few days ago. I only noticed it missing.
I don’t wear it every day, only when going out
When I had the ring originally made (different jeweller basket was picked out and looked more sturdy (and symmetrical)
Now it looks like basket is more “home made”

I don’t mind but after paying 965 euro for lab stone and resetting to have it break in 6 months from minimal wear has me concerned.

I’m hoping more educated eyes might see something I might bring up with jeweller.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Advice Needed: Broken Bracelet

Hey! Just bought this a week and a half ago. I love it so so so much—everything about it matches my personality. As you can tell, I’m already very attached to it lol. But today, it fell off of my wrist because i guess the ending had broken off.
I usually can repair my own jewelry, but this is way outside of my wheelhouse. Super tiny beads & thread + intricate design (for an amateur like me lol). I would really appreciate some advice on any way I could fix it!! I also attached a picture of a necklace of the same style to show what the end of the bracelet looked like before it broke.
I was thinking, at the very least, if there was some way to secure the broken string at the end (it’s very thin/frayed/short so it cannot be knotted) to stop the beads from unraveling, maybe then a different/new fastener can somehow get added/put on there???? Long shot but I really don’t have the time, supplies, or patience to restring this whole thing lol.
I’d appreciate any help :) I wear a lot of jewelry (mainly a TON of bracelets), so every piece I wear is super special to me.
Thanks!
