What do you think of these earrings and this bracelet ?

[cvalier26]

Price point ? Will they shine ?

For the earrings I love both shapes, the sleek one and the slightly curvy diamond one.
Added to that I have a rose gold mini Tiffany bean and dbty pendant, they are discreet so maybe they could go together ?

For the bracelet I've just always wanted one like this !

I think because they are vermeil and not gold they will not hold up well and the diamonds look too small to be very sparkly.

I do not think these are a good value for the money. For that much money you should be getting 14K and you will want diamonds that are faceted not single cut.

Thank you ! I was also thinking that they were quite expensive given the content, thank you for your answers !

 

[cvalier26]

how about the simple silver version @AprilBaby @tkyasx78 ?

Although same issue with the diamonds ! But at least much cheaper ! I really like the design, having trouble letting it go

oops the last one was a pendant !!

If you really like the style then go for it, the thing to keep in mind is that jewellery in the UK seems to be more expensive than elsewhere (I hope I'm right in thinking that you've just moved to the UK). For better value you could try Esty and limit your search to UK sellers.

They are more fashion jewellery than quality pieces IMHO, and they do not appeal to me personally. However, I am not the one wearing them.

If I were younger in my late 20's/early 30's and looking to add items to my jewellery collection, I would look for pieces in Moissanite or lab/MMD, from sites such as Berricle and Etsy shops such as Golden Birds and Ouros.

Items such as earrings (two of studs - a pair of solitaire and a pair of clusters or a pair earring jackets for the studs; and a pair of dressier drops), a pendant or two, and a bracelet or two; and some fun rings.

I would then start to save for better pieces.

I have strong personal likes and dislikes, in jewellery, clothes, accessories etc. etc... It took a while to get there, however, I got there by my mid to late 30s after many trials and errors.

Actually Etsy totally slipped my mind, I should have a lot more choice here I will have a look before deciding.

The diamonds on the bracelet are less than 1/5th of a point each. Too tiny to look more than just grey. I'd avoid.

Ditto the earrings. The diamonds on those are about 1/4 point each. Definitely not worth it. No chance of sparkle whatsoever.

 

[cvalier26]

Thank you for your advice

As far as my jewelry collection, I have diamond studs in platinum, a rose gold bezel diamond pendant and a mini rose gold Tiffany bean, that I am happy with, but I feel like I am missing a bracelet and some drop earrings .
But I want diamonds , but less than 500 each though (I really don't feel like saving for more right now, I have other expenses). Thankfully I like really really dainty pieces, so I haven't lost hope

I agree, you will do much better at etsy. Try Ferkos fine jewelry. Maybe they could make you a similar pair.

 

[cvalier26]

Hmm would I be really crazy if I went for the earrings ? The second smaller pair (275)
I have been browsing and just really love them
I am unsure by what you mean by "little sparkle" though, I would like a little minimum although I'm not expecting fireworks !

The bracelet is definitely out though

Thank you

 

[AprilBaby]

They are too small to see the sparkle. I don’t think you would even have minimum sparkle.
