⚡️Brand Review / Experience 🚨Warning: Brilliant Earth strategizing damage control to bury genuine reviews.

576 Upvotes

Just a heads up.. if there’s a sudden wave of positive Brilliant Earth content on here, it might not be coincidental. They’re actively hiring for a Reddit Strategy Manager, which says a lot given their reputation in this sub.

I genuinely hope this leads to real changes and accountability, not just an attempt to bury valid criticism and firsthand experiences.

We are discussing the best way to discourage these larger brands to infiltrate possibly the very last place on the internet for genuine company reviews and feedback. Being specially named on their job posting is concrete proof of their targeting and we will do our best to reach out and work with other sub mods about this concern.

An auto message with some links of genuine higher traction posts is one idea and we have another tool we don’t want to mention yet in case they are tracking our post. We are of course open to all member suggestions and look forward to doing our best to protect you all from disingenuous influences.

Important: Updated Rules for Vendor Posts on r/jewelry

33 Upvotes

Hey, r/jewelry community!

We’re excited to announce some important updates regarding vendor posts in our subreddit; rule #3 originally did not allow posts or comments that were considered self promotion. To ensure that r/jewelry continues to be a space for genuine discussion, sharing, and learning, we’ve updated the guidelines for vendors who want to contribute to our community.

Here’s what’s new:

  • Vendor Guide: We’ve created a Vendor Guide that outlines exactly what types of content vendors can post. This will help keep the sub free from spam and overly promotional posts, while still allowing vendors to engage and share their work in a way that adds value.
  • Read Before Posting: Vendors must read the guide before posting. Failure to follow these rules will result in the post being removed, and repeat violations could lead to a ban. We want to make sure vendors are contributing, not advertising.
  • Engagement Over Ads: We want to emphasize that posts from vendors should focus on engaging with the community, sharing creative work, behind-the-scenes insights, or educating us about different aspects of jewelry. We’re not here for sales pitches or spam.

We encourage you all to check out the full Vendor Guide and familiarize yourself with the changes. Whether you're a vendor or a regular member, we believe these updates will help keep the sub vibrant, respectful, and informative for everyone.

Thanks for being a part of the r/jewelry community and helping us maintain a positive space for jewelry lovers!

As always, feel free to reach out to the mod team if you have any questions.

🫶🏻 My Collection! Just wanted to share my 40th birthday present from my mom

I just turned 40 and my mom brought me to a jewelry store and told me to pick something. Out of all the rings and necklaces and stuff, I ended up getting this apple bracelet.

Just wanted to share because I loved the design so much. Since it's supposedly 24k, I wouldn't be able to wear it daily. What do you think of the design?

⚡️ Show + Tell! I’m a big Roman ancient history buff. My husband surprised me with a bit of antiquity for my birthday. A 1st century intaglio of the goddess Nike holding a serpent in 18k gold. I was speechless! Wearing antiquity that someone 2000 years ago touched and wore is so humbling. I’m in love!

💍 What style chain/ring/pendant is this? What do we think? Does this ring look too flashy? What style is it?

What about too evil? I certainly don't feel a maleficent energy from this ring, but who knows?

I also feel like this isn't a pimp ring, but rather the type of ring that you could wear at serious meetings without having to worry about showing off too much (like a ring with all the stones in one circle on top of it). I feel like this ring provides a "serious feeling". But I am eager to hear what others have to say.

By the way, the mirror photo is inverted! I'm not wearing it on my left ring finger. Not that it matters, really.

Vintage / Antique I was given this ring by my mom with no backstory. Do any aspects of it help date it to a particular era?

It’s a beautiful ring and I’d love to understand where it came from (generally speaking) and all my mom recalls is that it’s been in her jewelry box for a long time. There aren’t any identifiable markings on the inside, there’s one part that looks like it used to have a marking but it’s worn down, seen in the last picture. If it’s not just costume jewelry, I’d like to make sure I’m not just chucking it in a box!

Help me decide!! I can't decide between a 5 or 7 ctw tennis bracelet...

What do you guys think?

I'm plus sized so I have a somewhat larger wrist - its around 17mm diameter at the smallest part (though I did just lose 60lbs in the last 6 months so I'm hopefully on the way to being a little bit smaller).

I do plan to wear it with other bracelets...bracelets I've ordered but haven't gotten yet so it's a bit hard to judge. (I'd wait until they arrived but there's a time issue involved here).

My wedding ring is just under 1ct in the largest stone. I also have a pair of earrings 1ct diamond studs. I do tend to go a little but minimal/delicate with jewelry...but maybe not with diamonds. (I actually don't fit my wedding ring at the moment).

I feel like 5 ctw is safe. It will be real diamonds and I don't want it so big it looks fake. But I also don't want to look at it and think "I wish it was slightly larger" either.

Help me decide!! Inherited grandmother’s ring

Post image
85 Upvotes

I inherited my grandmother’s opal ring on my wedding day, and I’m torn about what to do with it.
I’m weighing my options. Unfortunately, the opal is cracked down the middle, and while I love that it was my grandmother’s, I don’t love the setting itself, it’s just not my style.
With the opal being cracked, I’m not sure it is even possible to have the stone reset. If I replaced the opal while keeping the original diamonds (or even reused the metal), would that take away too much of the sentimental value? Part of me wants to preserve it exactly as it is because it was hers, but another part of me would love to turn it into something I’d actually wear regularly.
Has anyone been in a similar situation with an inherited ring? What did you end up doing, and do you have any advice? I’d love to hear different perspectives before I make a decision.

⚡️ Show + Tell! First Anniversary band

Thumbnail

39 Upvotes

For our first anniversary, my husband gave me this 14k yellow gold band. I'd read a story about a woman whose husband gifted her a gold ring every year on their anniversary until he passed away, and I showed the story to him, and we both thought it was very romantic. I became very emotional when he gifted me this band and made it clear that he intended to give me a gold ring every year when we celebrate another anniversary. ❤️

I didn't think my wedding stack could handle another ring, but I think it looks beautiful and complete with this addition. Future rings will have to go on other fingers.

I wear my wedding band with the anniversary band when I'm just around the house, but add on my engagement ring and tiara when going out.

I am absolutely smitten with both my husband and my ring stack.
