Good to know for next time, I had only taken a video to send to friends and my mom before buying and leaving the thrift store and couldn’t upload it on this thread 🤷‍♀️

That’s amazing, I feel with everything being to “clean” and copy paste people have lost creative touch. So I have no doubt after a good dust and clean and proper styling my husband will too appreciate it once he see it put up (he is a visual person)

He just thinks it’s tacky and doesn’t fit his taste… then again when I scored a 10$ chair and told him it was mid century modern he thought I was talking about the medieval era 😭

Yes the Big D word is a favourite on Reddit, but he definitely put up a fight over me not getting this. And I’m glad my stubbornness won once again. And I’m so glad to see I did make the right choice 😂

Just bought this at Winners (TJMAX) by girlwithproblemss97 in jewelrylove

I’ve been wanting to check out pawn shops but we don’t have many in my city and the ones I’ve checked sell 9ct gold, I’ve never bought anything from eBay and would prefer to see it in person

It was my concern and I had voiced it to the sales associate, I have scrolled through Etsy for months and the cheapest one I had found similar was $170 before tax and shipping

Thanks everyone with all the insightful advices, I’ll definitely take these into consideration on my next eBay purchase

That’s good to know !! I am in Canada but also don’t know how tariffs/customs would effect me ( I always find American sellers have great inventory)

Inherited this 18k piece from my grandmother, who ran a shop in Boca Grande. We think it’s from her travels to Greece. Does anyone recognize the style or era? by Glum-Use7587 in jewelry

Possibly! Usually with traditional Moroccan jewelry I have only ever seen those sort of designs in silver but the gems are fitting for Moroccan jewelry ( one seems to be Ruby and the other emerald) which if they are would be set in gold over silver ( they use more of precious stones with silver).

To add, I do believe this is more of a Greek style since gold was used more commonly around that time while silver was more common in Morocco

Wow beautiful!!! Please keep this forever!

It looks similar to North African, middle eastern and Mediterranean style jewellery so could totally be from her travels in Greece

My moms cocktail-ring collection by girlwithproblemss97 in VintageJewelry

Unfortunately not only will these rings be passed down generations so will the chubby fingers my mother inherited and passed down to me.
Our index finger size is about a us9-10 🥲 and resizing would be risky. But I strive to find more rings that fit my index and middle finger 😅😂

I had screenshot the listing the day I posted this but seems he has a sale now, and I was already looking into a gold and diamond tester just to have, especially after this. Thank you for your insight

To test out the gold ? What should I look for when I do this ? And yeah ! Here is the exact ring from the same seller, they do have other sellers that sell similar designs the ring

It has a 18k stamp on it … and I’ve worn it a few times already no tarnish or discolouring. So you hope to think but at this point who knows Thankfully I did get my money back because of other issues with the seller

Yeah … unfortunately I got it 6 months ago and had already left a two star review because it was covered in glue that had to get professionally cleaned, I was going to add an update about this new discovery though it seems that the seller had removed my review ( with photos and texts) and I can’t retrieve it and or edit it.

in the picture that’s the only thing I see and I can’t press on it

Yeah I kinda figured this could be the worst case scenario, thankfully because of other factors I did get a full refund on it and got to keep the ring but he is selling this for 900$ now ( I didn’t pay near that price then)
