r/rings

Hi guys,

I am after some second eyes on this appraisal for this ring I found on marketplace. I am wanting to pick up today for 300 AUD as advertised.

The thing that is stumping me is the appraisal, it states 8 stones with a total weight of .1, but i only see 2 diamonds.

The appraisal also doesn't comment on the ring size, which is usually included.

I've looked up who the appraiser is, and she's a real person, I am just second guessing myself.

Location: Australia 🇦🇺 l

Edit: thank you all for your responses. I've decided not to go ahead with the purchase. I am glad I asked for thoughts and opinions 😌

Only have the budget for these as of now… do yall have any advice on the arrangement?

I’ve started looking for interesting jewelry finds for a great price. I picked this Sterling Moonstone and Topaz ring in an auction and I just wanted to share. My first ever moonstone and it’s a vibe.

Ring is made of sterling silver, and all the engraving was done with a laser. Has my last name on it, and the year my wife and I got married.

I am looking to create a mens pinky ring. This ring is more symbolic to me and want to create something similar but want to get some opinions on the design. It will be in platinum.

I wear a ring on pretty much every finger I’ve got left (minus the thumbs). It’s kind of my thing. Most of my rings come from pawn shops and thrift stores because I haven’t found many online shops I trust for quality gold. Since I wear them every day and never take them off, I’m looking for pieces that can actually hold up.

What are your favorite online stores for quality gold jewelry (doesn’t have to be solid)? Bonus points if they have crystal or gemstone pieces too.

I placed an order with ATOLEA, but after reading Reddit reviews I got sketched out and canceled it.

If this isn’t allowed, feel free to remove it. I’m not looking for a specific piece—just general store or brand recommendations.

Over the years I’ve wrapped a lot of pieces, but some of them go way beyond “jewelry.”

I’ve had the honor of working with ashes from a loved one, turning grief into something you can actually hold onto. I’ve created memorial pieces that carry stories words can’t really do justice to. I’ve even wrapped wedding rings in ways that mark not just a moment, but a whole chapter of someone’s life.

Those are the kinds of pieces that slow you down while you’re working on them. You’re not just shaping metal—you’re holding space for memory, love, loss, and everything in between.

It always makes me curious though… every artist and collector ends up with their own set of meaningful stories.

What’s the most meaningful piece you’ve ever made for yourself, or been trusted to create

I named this ring "Evelyn" after my mother who had a huge jewelry collection. I now have her name engraved in all the rings Cherry at Fayjewelry makes me.

The design of this ring started when I saw a genuine antique, early 1800s ring with a pear shaped, rose cut diamond that was $34,000 and looked like it had been pulled from a fire. I did like the styling and using both Ai and Photoshop I came up with this. While this only hints at the original , I loved the "round diamond over pear" look.

With this ring I found the setting idea first. I needed a short, squat pear which was not so easy to find. This ring from top to bottom is now about 17.5 mm and a typical long, slim pear would not have worked. The Pear is a warm H color and 2.40 carats from Aurelinne and was $465.50.

Cherry at Fayjewelry crafted a perfect setting for $850 after my renders were turned into a working CAD. Cherry is excellent to work with when it comes to creating the CAD and this was not an easy ring to do. Fayjewelry supplied all the lab diamonds except the pear of course. 5 weeks after paying for it I had it and Expressions Jewelry in Central Virginia set the pear for $30. Total cost for this OOAK ring in a Georgian style, $1,345.50

I received this ring from a family member who I've lost contact with many years ago. The only mark visible is 18k. She has lived between France and Quebec and had an assortment of fine jewelry and costume peices. Google lens says it might be from the Joan Rivers collection. I'd love to know more.

Hi,

i just graduated and my mom wanted to buy me a gift, a ring. She wanted me to choose it and I did. I really want this ring to be my memory, whenever I’ll look at it, I’ll think of my mom. Although, my brother his wife and my coworkers said it’s very big and one of my coworker thought I am engaged. Now I think I regret this choice because maybe I should have chosen something simpler. Do you guys buy yourself rings or someone does that for you but not as engagement ring? could you please share with me?

I have this ring from my ex and he bought it from eBay right before our breakup so I don't know much about it's history. He knew I preferred silver and hated gold, so when I was given this ring I was confused to see that it was stamped 925 but somehow looked like a dual tone between silver and gold. The lighting in the pictures hide it a bit, but it's still visible. I'm not sure if it's possible to be oxidization but I don't even wear it for obvious reasons. I have another ring made of silver that is starting to show signs of the same gold-ish color showing around the edges, but nowhere near as bad and I wear that one everyday.

Hi all! I’m just looking for some advice as I am STRUGGLING between a 7.5 or an 8 while trying out engagement ring sizers - I wanted to ask if anyone thinks the 7.5 causes too much of a ring muffin top or if I'm just overthinking and that's the way my fingers are? They honestly both feel comtortable, the 8 is obviously just looser when taking it. It doesn't teel like it's gonna fall off but there isn't much resistance when sliding it off. I've read all about the fingers swelling/cold weather and all that jazz lol but just wanted some advice from others that were between sizes. I've considered a 7.75 but have heard 1/4 sizes can be difficult sometimes with wedding bands.
TIA!!

Pls ignore my awful grown out nails, my nail lady returns from vacay on Friday 🥹

I found a very similar ring from James Avery but the only thing is the font is different. Is there any way i can choose my own font? Or if maybe we can find the exact ring incase it’s not from James Avery. Im open to hear any advice. It genuinely would be appreciated! I am honestly at a loss because it was super important to me and I’m really devastated i could lose something so important to me. (The first 3 are pics of the rings we had 2 but one went missing :( the last photo is the one from James Avery website thats closest I gotten. Only thing is the font of the original ring we still have is different from the ones they offer online.)
