I have to ask out of curiosity, does the Jubilee cut have the lack of depth that most moissanite has? I’m thinking the cut may hide this so it doesn’t ever get the grey plastic look. Have had a few moissanite rings but the grey contrast vs black in diamonds always bugged me.

Not that I’ve noticed - if anything it looks very 3D and diamond like in this cut imo

I recently tested the Chinese moissanite market for nicer quality costume jewelry. It’s not perfect but it’s fun for what it is!

Wow, that ring looks amazing. I love the color of the stone

Thank you! They didn’t have any in stock so it was a custom cut and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out

Giving this thread an extra bump! I got more synthetic opals for Christmas. Thanks to christmas's and birthdays my collection is coming along nicely. Wish I could be responsible enough for mined but I'm just not xD so very thankful for these

I have several pieces from Chinese vendors and I was always satisfied with the quality. I have jewelry from Provence, Tianyu and even from some AliExpress vendors. For me it’s a good way to purchase jewelry I wear seldom, or to test a design I’m not sure of.

hi there, bought serveral pieces from jewelry designer My Gemme.
She's designing the most colorful pure gemstone jewelry also with sapphires and pearls.
My first purchase was the rainbow necklace with diamonds and solid gold.
Now currently I'm wearing the pearl necklace with sapphires and multicolor stones. also the shimmering moonstone necklace is seriously sparkling with flue flashes. So lovely for the holidays! Love to clip my charms on those.
Bought it at its My Gemme. Its all custom made. lots of one off pieces, so quite unique.

looking at the prices, the 14k and real gemstones not to mention custom pieces, i would not be putting them in this thread ! unless the gems are man made id be posting these lovelies in the coloured gemstone thread
they are gorgeous
i found these in your link
definatly not fun fashion jewlery
i want them !

I forgot about this pink CZ ring, so when I found it this morning I threw it on with a couple of bands. The color is neat, it’s either pink or lavender depending on the light.

I found this in a bag of costume jewelry the other day. It seems marked to be silver but I don't know the origins of it. My mom loved dogwood flowers from Virginia where we great up and she went to college.

that is lovelly
but hardly anyone is going to see it over here
its silver, so it doesnt need to be in this thread
why dont you post it in the thread ?
because the lovely ladies who hang out in this thread might be able to ID it

Who wants to see my haul from today?

$35 for the lot, mind you it took three hours of sifting to find it all. Please don't mind the flosser in one of the pics (DH was helping to untangle some chains). In the first pic on the right there are three watch chains, the one on the far right is Marked Simmons, next to that is a 12k gold...

Ok so I ended up getting these as a late present. These are from an etsy vendor I have been watching for like 6 years now. They are made of pewter and I think glass pearl? Or maybe crystal pearl? Same thing? No clue. Either way faux pearl!
I'm super duper thrilled by them and hope to get another piece another time

Figure pretty faux in this colour should hold me over quite nicely

Ok one more for now. I got in my first faux pearls in this colour @Daisys and Diamonds and attempted at stringing them. This is actually my 4th or fifth try at stringing pearls but only 2nd on these specific ones. I've decided on doing 8mm instead of 10 when I work on a second necklace and the 2 bracelets.

But yeah please don't judge my botched side of the clasp. I did decently on one and once I had finished stringing and began to attach the clasp on the second side the crimp cover just refused to look nice or cover enough so I attempted to cover it and then gave up xD I have to restring these again anyway just because the length was just a little too long for me so I'll hope to do better next time xD

i am very impressed with your stringing
they are very pretty faux pearls, i wonder if they are actually dyed freshwaters?
i love the colour
somewhere i have a strand in pieces that are dyed freshwater, also in blue, do you think i can find them ? im now wondering if they were thrown out in error

They're definitely gorgeous fakes! They're those glass or crystal or whatever Preciosa pearls. Same colour and pearl brand as the earrings I got for the holidays I posted right before this one. A few were a bit chippy with their coatings. but it was right on the drill hole and these aren't 24/7 wear anyway I was just like meh whatever.

I do have a triple strand of normal coloured freshies and some kind of super dark, likely dyed single strand freshwaters also. They're awful pearls though, especially the dark set but i like them a lot anyway. I just don't want to ruin them trying to restring. Would much rather get ok at it with these fakes and have a cute matching set with my daughter that won't hurt too much to lose or if she breaks it by accident.

And if you did find your blue pearls I would love to see them!!

I think dyed pearls are just as fun as the naturally coloured ones!! I really loved seeing the necklace you posted recently that you fixed!

from memory my dyed $30 fun strand (outlet mall) was chippy around the drill holes but i never noticed till the strand broke, ive been looking for them for a couple of years, i always intended to keep them so i do hope i havnt chucked them out by mistake, they were a long strand, i had a blue top i always wore them with, i wore the top the other day and just felt incomplete

@Daisys and Diamonds - I think of you when I wear my green jacket! It has (semi-permanently) a rhinestone brooch that belonged to my great-aunt. Sorry about the fluff - it was an impulse photo.
