Thanks bro. Definitely can’t afford any more 22k GAH. I feel like if I get any more rings/bracelets I’ll be approaching e-boi or pirate territory which is not my goal ?Ballin
Any idea why jewelery is usually excluded from / never go on sale? Low margin business or high demand? Mixture of both?
Any affordable brand options? As much as I would love to get myself some good art, I'm too afraid of losing it. Anything from $80-200 for rings
This is one of my favorite pieces:
SE Wire Wrap Ring - Outward
The Wire Wrap Ring starts out as sheet silver and is first cut to the shape of the feather and then bent using a wooden board with a depression cut into it and a leather mallet to round it to shape. Then the artist takes a small file and cuts each of the lines.Not many silversmiths can get...www.selfedge.com
Self Edge has another version here:

I also like Reliquary's jewelry selection, but it's easier to shop for stuff in their store. Lots of stuff here tends to be a hodgepodge of vintage.

Will consider the outward one heavily, appreciate the recommendation. Anyone have experience with maple or pearl before swine
I bought some stackable rings a while ago from Chin Teo and Pearls Before Swine. The PBS stuff seemed nice, although I ended up keeping the ones from Chin Teo and returning the PBS. Just liked the CT design better.
Maple's designs strike me as kinda corny.
Asked this before but how do you determine quality in jewelery?
On a basic level, I think things are generally worth more when they're made from precious metals. So solid gold is more expensive than gold plated.
But even that's not straightforward. Early 20th century costume jewelry was considered junk in its day. It's essentially made from plastic. Now bakelite jewelry can be expensive and it's often considered chic. Some Bakelite jewelry exceeds the cost of silver jewelry.
I'm a big believer in not getting hung up on quality and just focus on developing a sense of personal taste. You're not buying a slab raw metal, anyway. Think of jewelry like art. It wouldn't make sense to think of paintings or music in terms of quality, you just find stuff that resonates with you.
Miansai? I like it
