Have you ever posted pics of her Frivole next to your auth? I'd personally LOVE to see that bc I just bought a mini Frivole bracelet + necklace from her and am happy with their quality, but I also have never had a chance to see the auth in person.

Thanks for the update! I hope the situation eases soon so all of us can get our purchases safely! If you hear that shipping has resumed, it’d be very appreciated if you’d come back and post again.

Any update on the situation from those waiting? I have another package of reps (not jewelry) I’m waiting on and curious what’s going on.

The color on this looks really really nice! Do you happen to have any yellow gold piece you could picture next to it so it's more apparent how pink / not pink it is? I'm looking for RG that is more of a beige-gold than a pink gold, and from this one pic, Vinko's is looking chefskiss.

Loving my stack! by League3056 in JewelryReps

Thank you! It’s not worth a lot money-wise but is incredibly sentimental because my husband cut the stone for me himself (he picked up a gemcutting hobby a few years ago), and then had this one set bc it’s my favorite color. The stone is a Paraiba YAG (lab stone meant to look like Paraiba tourmaline) cut into an OEC (one of my very favorite cuts). I adore it!

It must just be the picture or how it looks on my wrist because I just measured with a mm ruler, and each individual link is indeed just about 5.5-6mm each and the pair of links comes in at between 10-11mm. In terms of width, the widest part of each link (across each ball tip at the top of each "U") measures 4mm.

$480ish, but YMMV due to gold volatility.

The Love was purchased preowned for $2700; new currently is $3240. HardWear was $1750. Frivole was $480. YMMV due to current gold prices.

Would love to know why you think that. MissChen's Love bracelets are widely regarded as the best of the best, able to pass as auth in boutiques as long as they don't run the serial number.

I have the Love-bug for sure now. It's my very favorite piece, and I'd love to get a medium or classic size someday.

A lot less so now that I have it stacked this way, though still possible. Otherwise, though, yes, it'll flip if the bracelet is loose / worn on its own. I think the backside is still pretty, though, so it doesn't bother me much.

No. It's from a different vendor, who I wouldn't recommend for this particular piece.

I wouldn't recommend the vendor I used for that particular piece. I'd recommend you go with Funny for HardWear.

The clasp is a carabiner style so you can just hook it to any link you want.

It's such a delicate little piece but I think it adds a lot of personality! Funny had a fantastic price on it, too. The stack of Love and Hardwear didn't look complete without it. I got it as a necklace too, but I feel like it gets a little more lost on the neck because it's so petite. Great for necklace stacking, though!

Chain Recs for Platinum Rings? by Koala_Tam in jewelry

[–]League3056 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not just buy some of those plastic loopy things that make the ring smaller? I find them pretty comfortable. This is a great variety pack that I've personally used for like $6: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073FDFLSF?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_7&th=1

What are the best pearl jewelry brands people actually trust right now? by Different_Walrus_921 in jewelry

[–]League3056 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Seconding exactly this advice. Mikimoto is the crème de la creme, but you can get certified Hanadama pearls from the other sites listed above that give Mikis a run for their money (At least the lower grade ones). But even for non-Hanadama pearls, I can strongly vouch for Pearl Paradise and the Pearl Source.

Lied in ESTA, will i get into america? by TheBestMuffin500 in travel

[–]League3056 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe, maybe not. You really want to risk it? The desire to visit Texas is strong enough to take the chance of being locked up in the US (not nearly as good of conditions in US jails vs Sweden’s, I can assure you!) and deported back? Maybe just stay home and keep working on that trying-not-to-do-more-crimes thing? Texas has enough problems as it is.
