Buyers cannot find jewelry hardware in specific sizes and metals

“I'm looking to get a pearl necklace with a round diamond connector lock instead of a clasp. I'm not usually one to remove my jewelry. The one necklace and bracelets I have are all welded on. I had an opal necklace that I adored but one of the opals broke. I wasn't even doing anything too physical for this to happen. It occurred in bed. submitted by /u/iridescentcotton [link] [comments]”

“Any one with either of these chains? Would really love some input, I love the design. - Mojo seems to be offering these chains in 18k with the option for 14k, their graining seems to be more "fine" and elevated. Seems there's a lot of reviews for that product but wondering about durability. - Neu Fine is at a good price point, competitive, but I'm not sure of the graining and durability - I'm also conflicted because of her recent videos about knock offs and her attitude abo”

“Been trying to find stainless-steel/titanium jewelry(especially an industrial bar). That will match with earrings like these from StudioCult. NOT anodized pink/blue thou, but specifically PVD Plated pink &/or blue.

“I'd like to get an extender for my necklace which is 14k white gold. Are you supposed to get an extender which is also 14k white gold? When I look for it it's quite expensive. Would a more affordable material break more easily or corrode the necklace chain? submitted by /u/his-bpdemon [link] [comments]”

“I love the beautiful dainty look of teeny tiny CZ stones, but I also like "larger" (like 2 inch, not huge) pendants. I have so much difficulty finding a necklace that fits this bill. It seems like a larger pendant is viewed as statement necklace and always has slightly larger CZ stones, whereas the super tiny dainty stones are reserved for tiny pendants the size of my pinky nail. Is my taste so unusual? If anyone knows of a necklace in the $30 range (or less) that fits this bill, pleas”

“Hi! I’m trying to replace this necklace for my GF for her birthday coming up and I’m having a really hard time finding stores/artists that have something similar? Or even the right words to use? I keep searching for “charm box” or it seems “prayer box” gives me slightly better options but it’s mostly very old very clunky pieces. I’ve given up finding a replacement and am now looking for someone who could help custom make but IDEK where to start!! I’m looking for ANY advice on where I could find”

“I’m a woman and I ordered a 20mm circle pendant. But I’m stuck on what kind of chain to get and what width. I don’t want the chain to be big or dramatic and out of proportion with the pendant. I still want it to be feminine looking as well like dainty but not too small. Any recs? submitted by /u/Optimal-Fee-8722 [link] [comments]”

“Idk if this is allowed here but I am trying to buy some gold stud earring that won’t tarnish but all I can find are screw back earrings. I hate screw backs they are so hard to use and a normal butterfly back is so much easier. I know you can’t use butterfly backs on them but can you use other kinds of backs on them? Thanks. submitted by /u/Recent_Love8489 [link] [comments]”

“I have a sentimental sterling locket I’d like to wear, but don’t have a chain. It’s about 20-25mm long. Whats the necklace equivalent to a bracelet safety chain?

“Bought a native American bead bracelet, and it broke. I'm not very familiar with fixing this stuff (my mom would've known but she recently passed...) but I'm guessing the wire was looped completely then clamped. Only option I can think of is completely rewiring it, maybe with line instead of wire, and either just knotting it or seeing if I can find a clamp.

The original had a 0.094 ct diamond in the center, surrounded by smaller diamonds totaling 0.126 ct. The replacement does not have to use real diamonds, zirconia (for example) is also fine.

However, she wants one where the sapphires are colored like a true color wheel, rather than the orange-clear-blue-pink-magenta in the image.
