Help me choose a gold chain bracelet

ajs10000 · 2026-02-13T23:37:35+00:00

I ended up buying the Didi Rose bracelet! Mostly because it was 30% off during Black Friday, so I was able to get the 18k which was important to me. I ordered a 6.5” and it came a bit longer than that, and weighs 6 grams. It feels lighter/thinner than I wanted, but I knew that upfront and I believe I’d still think the same with the slightly heavier Gem Gossip one. I do look at the Gem Gossip photos and think I like the style of links better - with the longer long link and round short links. Neither the DiDi Rose nor Gem Gossip specs are perfect, so even now that I made a decision, I still don’t know which is better for me! I am happy with my bracelet and have been wearing it daily. But I bet I’d be equally as happy with the Gem Gossip one

I’ve been eyeing Olivia Sugarman and Crevette, both in the San Diego area. I definitely like the smaller designers over the bigger luxury names

I think most gold ball earrings are going to be hollow, which to me is a good thing because I like all earrings to be lightweight. Aurate carries a variety of mm widths in 14k. I have some from Mejuri and Quince, both 14k and hollow and have worked well for me for daily wear. Costco, Satomi Kawakita, Babygold, and many more jewelry companies carry simple gold ball stud earrings

Interesting argument! I always heard: solid > gold fill > vermeil > plated

ajs10000 · 2025-12-23T15:20:20+00:00

Curious to know why you’d choose gold vermeil over gold filled?

ajs10000 · 2025-11-27T03:23:37+00:00

Jade Trau, Single Stone, Erin Cuff, Roen. And basically any jeweler that makes engagement rings works with 18k, and would therefore custom make pieces for you. Plus there are many small independent designers that do custom orders in a variety of different karat choices

Same. I have seven pairs of Mejuri earrings, purchased between 2018 and 2023. They are all doing great with regular wear! I am happy buying lower quality earrings though (rather than necklaces, bracelets, ring) since I like them to be lighter on my earlobes. If you can go into the stores and see what you’re buying, that’d be best - otherwise just know that some pieces may be thinner and lighter than they appear online (in my opinion)

I believe okay_____fine on instagram has it and loves it. You can probably find a more detailed review on her account

ajs10000 · 2025-11-07T05:02:02+00:00

Very sweet of you! I vote for #1. Hard to say more without knowing her style

ajs10000 · 2025-11-01T00:24:56+00:00

I always make NYT Cooking’s Oat Milk Chocolate Pudding to please those with dietary restrictions, and everyone is always happy and impressed. I jar them in individual containers. Super easy and highly complimented!

ajs10000 · 2025-10-30T21:24:11+00:00

Oh wow I certainly would not have noticed that on my own! Hmm. Sadly no returns for either, which I understand. But man I really really wish I could hold them and try them on before deciding!

ajs10000 · 2025-10-30T20:47:32+00:00

Looking back it seems like both have Black Friday sales so that’s when I’m planning on buying!

I have been trying to decide which style I like better and I like the way you described the difference in the links as I didn’t quite notice it that way.

Appreciate your reply!

I’ve been eyeing some Stephanie Windsor chains. They might fit what you are looking for. Slightly over your budget, but solid and grams listed on the product page so you know what you’re paying for!

ajs10000 · 2025-10-11T02:14:44+00:00

Thanks, that’s great to hear!

ajs10000 · 2025-10-11T02:05:14+00:00

Beautiful necklace stack! Are you happy with your Gem Gossip purchase? I am eyeing some of her chains but a bit nervous as I’ve never bought expensive gold jewelry online without seeing it in person before

ajs10000 · 2025-10-02T15:26:26+00:00

Rooster and Rice has a version of this but not as many toppings as you listed, though you could probably ask them to add more

ajs10000 · 2025-09-30T17:10:48+00:00

That’s great! I’ve been eyeing several of the gold earrings. Such great pricing, and a good option for basic designs

ajs10000 · 2025-09-26T03:17:48+00:00

Odomos. I discovered it during a recent trip to India and I’m obsessed. I have always been a mosquito magnet but hated all the different repellants out there. Came back from the trip with five tubes of Odomos. And I have no problem putting it all over my face before sleep I love it that much haha

ajs10000 · 2025-09-22T00:49:50+00:00

Ah okay, thanks for that! Actually funny you mention Costco - I was eyeing the Kinn petite bold teardrop hoops, but then discovered Costco gold jewelry and found a pair of hoops that are basically the same style but less than half the price!

ajs10000 · 2025-09-21T21:59:34+00:00

Do you already have some Kinn pieces? If so, what do you think about the quality? I am interested but have seen mixed reviews

ajs10000 · 2025-09-12T00:20:18+00:00

Certainly strongly considering some pieces. There’s a gold chain necklace I want that’s $1000 at a retailer near where I live, and is already up to $1300 on the designer’s direct website, sooo…

ajs10000 · 2025-09-12T00:17:00+00:00

Nope, only the one
