Jewelry: Quality, Allergies & AI Ads

“I'm obsessed with getting a diamond cuban chain necklace that I can wear every day if I want. I live in a very casual city and rarely get dressed up, so I want to it be "wearable" and not such a large statement that I couldn't wear other diamonds with it. What mm would you suggest for this? 3mm? Do they even go narrower than that? submitted by /u/CBNmantra [link] [comments]”

“My ears are very sensitive and I’m TIRED of boring earrings. I have three lobe piercings and I can’t for the life of me find any cute AND affordable earrings that don’t irritate my skin. I love silver toned things, star/moon designs and gems but honestly I just need any suggestions of where to buy from 😭 if you have experience with piercing metal sensitivity please help! Obvs affordable is better but if that’s not something I can have it’s fine too! Thank you guys!!! submitted by /u”

“Does anyone have any jewelry charms (or even pieces like rings, etc.) they like to use for good luck? I know it might sound silly, but I’m thinking about trying to find a good one to help bring me some comfort and calming effect for a family member’s upcoming surgery, which I know I’m going to be very anxious about when the time comes. submitted by /u/Safe_Revenue4917 [link] [comments]”

“For various reasons, I cannot pierce my nose, but I love my fake nose rings. That said, I got them off of Amazon and recently learned a lot of Amazon jewelry has loads of heavy metals in them. Does anyone have any recommendations for scary-metal-free fake nose rings? I like them a little malleable so I can fit them to my nose, but beggars can't be choosers.....

“Anyone else experience this? After years of wearing silver, I developed an allergy, but only on my ears. They itch like crazy so I avoid all silver earrings (also white gold seems to irritate them as well). I know people suffer from metal allergies, but mine is an little weird. I can wear silver rings, necklaces and bracelets with no issues. submitted by /u/Salty_Ad_8908 [link] [comments]”

“Kia ora I’m from New Zealand! I am a complete newbie to the handcrafted jewelry industry. I started learning and making chainmaille jewelry since end of last year, and I made a few successful sales by putting my works on Marketplace and Depop. And then I decided to go further-one piece at a time, I try to promote myself on my Instagram as frequently as I can, and I have planned for consignment as well. But I don’t know if I am on the right track, can you please tell me what STOP you from buying”

“Hello all! Three years ago we bought an oak and Luna willow tag necklace in 14k solid gold with our new child’s first initial. Fast forward and we just had a second child and I went to purchase another 14k solid gold tag for my wife and apparently they’ve stopped offering them and only offer in 10k solid gold now. Does anyone happen to have a spare BLANK 14k solid gold Willow tag, or one with an “I” already engraved? Without tiny diamond. Don’t mind if it’s used. https://www.etsy.com/listing/946”

“Hi! I want to get my fiancé cufflinks with our cats faces on them for a day-of wedding gift. Has anyone done this that can recommend a place to purchase them that isn’t made by Ai and is a decent quality?

“I’ve been looking at Baby Gold’s custom name necklaces and I like the idea of getting something in actual 14K gold rather than plated jewelry. Because it’s personalized, though, I feel like there’s more to get right than just choosing the design. What would you check before ordering? I’m thinking chain length, letter height, chain thickness, how the name sits when worn, yellow vs white vs rose gold, production time, and what happens if the finished piece isn’t quite what you expected. For people”

“i got suckered into the heavy idyl brand deals like 2 years ago. i got my first piece, the 4 diamond rhombus type of charm on a chain, and paid both for the idyl chain and charm. it held up so well for about a year that i thought maybe its time i finally got for the piece every influencer talks about in the brand deal - the lena. i got the lena and within 6 months, maybe i wasn’t paying attention and didn’t clasp appropriately - the charm fell off. and i thought hey this isn’t a faulty design -”

“Hi guys! Unfortunately I just found out that I am extremely allergic to nickel so I can’t wear most of my jewelry. I’d rather shop small than go to some name brand store so do yall have any suggestions? I’m 19 f and love anything floral or bookish so if there are any artists that tailor to those interests I’d love to see their work. Thanks for the help! submitted by /u/ReallyCurlyPasta [link] [comments]”

Yay! Glad you like it :)

“What are some good reputable (as in, reasonably priced, genuine, and not a scam) brands/ companies that sell (silver) waterproof jewelry online? I'm trying to find pieces like necklaces and charms primarily, but most websites I've looked at feature only rings, everything's gold/ there's little to no silver pieces that fit my tastes, or the website itself is iffy. Also, they (the website and reviewers) generally don't say how well the pieces would hold up against constant wear”

“Like the title, I recently developed an allergy to metals such as brass and zinc. Even if the jewelry piece is coated in silver or gold, I will have a reaction! I don’t want to get too detailed about it but my reactions aren’t pretty ;-( I had to purge around 90% of my jewelry because all of it was cheap metal. I’ve found the only cheap metal I can truly tolerate is stainless steel, but it’s so hard to find pieces made with solely that. I don’t wear silver because it tarnishes too easily and gol”

I have a lot of allergies so I wouldn't be surprised if I was allergic to the material, but I almost exclusively get my necklaces thrifting so I'm pretty sure I own a lot of cheap necklaces.

“Instagram keeps showing me an ad for a little jewelry bag, and it is actually something that I’d use. I don‘t shop from random ad websites, so I’m hoping to find a seller that makes something like these. I haven’t been able to find anything on Etsy, but I’m probably not using the perfect keyword combo. I’m posting the link below for reference, I can never get photos added correctly with posts.

“I’ve avoided wearing jewelry my whole life because of the horrible blistering rash I get - even “24k gold” or “nickel free” still seem to have enough allergen (I assume to be a nickel allergy but maybe it’s copper) but I’ve never take a chance on an “expensive” necklace or bracelet so maybe I’m just getting cheap stuff with misleading label I have gold wedding rings, let’s call them “expensive” and wear them every day with no issue I’d love some pointers on what to look for in a necklace and bra”

“Hey everyone!I recently bought a few gothic/punk pendants from Temu (including a black initial letter, a sharp arrowhead, and a couple of spiders).

“Hi! I could really use some help on how to choose the right pearl necklace for a gift to my fiancé on our wedding day. I’m looking at pearl source. I guess firstly, how different in quality are the Akoya AA+ vs AAA? Is it substantial that we could really see a difference? My responsible decision right now is between 6.5-7 AA+ and 5.5-6 AAA.

“I want to preface this by saying: where i'm from, the woman chooses her own engagement ring, so it's my say in this. I've been allergic to rings for as far as I can remember. Whatever ring i wear, it gets very itchy and the itchyness remains for a few hours even if i wore the ring 5 minutes. I don't get a big reaction or rash, but when we're talking engagement and wedding rings, which should be worn all the time, this is a problem. I can't wear them as a necklace either f”
