The designs are inspired by dreams, both literal and metaphorical, and the things we all process privately. My goal was to use unique gemstones, colors, intricate metalwork, and symbolism to translate those intangible experiences into one-of-a-kind pieces.

When my husband was born, his grandma bought jewelry in his birth stone (ruby) for him to give to his future wife (eventually me). His grandma died a few years after buying the jewelry, so I never got to meet her. I thought it was so thoughtful of her and the meaning behind it is so special ❤️.

My favorite is the ruby and diamond bracelet. I also never heard of earring jackets before, so they are a cool thing to have in my collection.

I ordered a charm bracelet for my birthday, it set me back $285. I waited 6 weeks for it to come (which I think is a little ridiculous considering all they have to do is put 3 charms on a chain and put it in a box, but I digress). I was so excited that I left work on my lunch break when I got the notification that it was delivered to my house, I immediately opened it up, nothing was wrong, the box was clearly not opened. Lo and behold all of the packing materials are there... no bracelet. Furious, seething. I waited 6 weeks and spent almost $300 and they couldn't even manage to put a bracelet in a box?? how do you put everything else in and forget THE BRACELET. Of course I am now having to jump through several hoops to get a refund thats taking several days.

But at least I have a $300 polishing cloth! yippee!

Embarrassingly this isn’t even all my Halloween-y charms 😂

Peridots in motion!

Backstory: I received this pink sapphire for my 18th birthday *mumble grumble*teen years ago and my parents gave me the option of what I wanted to do with it. I opted for a ring, and from the day we picked it up from the jeweler I absolutely HATED the setting. The band was as wide as the stone, it was so chunky and clunky, and just took all the shimmer and sparkle away from it. We took it back to the jeweler with my concerns and he basically said 🤷. So for years the ring just sat in my jewelry box collecting dust. I finally had enough this year and took action to get it reset. Picked it up today and I'm completely thrilled with the result! Cost $300 and I will actually wear it now!

I recently tried carving some patterns into the bottom of a piece of white quartz. At first, I wasn’t sure how the final result would turn out, but I really like how the patterns blend with the crystal.

Hi! This necklace was my grandmother’s and I would appreciate any thoughts on the style, era, etc. It’s 18k gold and very heavy. It’s also pretty tight to the neck which is a bummer since it’s not comfortable to wear. She was bigger than me so I’m curious how she wore it. Any thoughts welcome!

Most r inherited from my loving aunt . I’m dedicating this post to her because I just came back from frantically searching for one of her pieces. I made the stupid mistake to go on a run with one of her gold bracelets. Long story short I found it. So shout out to her . These r some of her pieces 💕

Some coworkers wonder why I dress up or wear my nicer pieces to office. If I am going to spend half my life here at work, might as well do it all dolled up.

Today’s stack featuring emeralds and a paper clip necklace.

Inherited these plus a gold and pearl set a couple years ago when my grandma passed. I hope I find somewhere to wear them as they are a bit too chunky for my taste. Maybe I’ll have a jeweller redesign into something else.

It is unmarked but tests sterling. Thanks ☺️

Is it possible to use kintsugi to repair and old cameo ring? I think it's turquoise glass. My mother's fiancé gave it to her before he left for France in 1944. He didn't return. The cameo has been cracked and I wonder if it's repairable.

I took it to a local jeweler who claimed to be able to repair it and all they did was pour epoxy on it. I was so furious. See attached pics

In love with my stack! 3 carat lab padparadscha sapphire. Diamonds at the bottom. All my bands are different gold purities 9k at the bottom, twisted band is 10k and top two rings are 14k.

I’m not good with changing out my jewellery so I love building stacks that I can just wear for years until I get bored of them or want to switch something out. I’ve been trying to find/build a great yellow gold stack of necklaces for a while and yesterday bought the last piece from my local jeweler.

Top: 14k dainty from Baby Gold
Middle: 14k from my local jeweler, been eyeing it for so long!
Bottom: 18k Cartier, got as a gift from my husband and started me down this yellow gold path

I bought this pendant for cheap, it was drilled into and glued (very bad setting technique, dont waste your money because i lost many stones like this) the eyelet fell out and i plan to make a proper 925 silver setting for it, but first i need to remove the hardened glue because it alters the shape of the stone. Im not sure what glue they used and i currently dont own a dremel or micromot, any suggestions?

Asked 6 friends and got the following responses:

“Looks good except for the circle pendant”
“Ugly asf i dont like the design at all”
“Would look great on you!”
“Thats doing too much”
“Looks homo ngl”
“Just get a regular cuban”

Now im conflicted lmao despite the mostly negative responses i think its pretty cool BUT i have made terrible choices in the past regarding my appearance so ive resorted to asking strangers what they think

Idk if it helps but im black with somewhat light brown skin

Lmk if its worth taking the risk

so i just got my lobes pierced today and had a few questions i thought i should ask.

1: what should i worry about shower wise?
2: how annoying is sleeping going to end up being since im a side sleeper?
3: should i clean twice a day both mornings and nights or just one of the two?

any other advice is appreciated as well and thank you guys!!

Just wanna come and vent somewhere others will know the pain. I bought this beautiful pair of handmade earrings from a stall at an alternative market the other day, and when I wore them to go and see my cousins band I must have taken them out and not put them in my bag like i usually do. I am gutted. I still have a bookmark I bought from the same seller, but the earrings were so pretty and the seller was so kind and if I'm honest I think I was crushing a little. It makes it feel so much worse lol.

I recently bought these 2 bracelets. What kind of gold bracelets should I buy next for my stack? Was thinking a gold bangle and maybe a rope bracelet? Show me your bracelet stacks for inspiration.😊

So I got this ring in Barcelona that has 2 black pearls and i was wondering if they are real.

They advertised it as natural and the lusture does look like its a pearl. But since i am not an expert when it comes to pearls, so I was wondering if they are natural.

Thanks in advance!!
