I believe the rating on the precious metals is enforced, i.e. 24 karat gold is 99.9% gold so the quality of the metal should be fairly standard. After a certain price point though you are paying for design, marketing, uniqueness, etc.

With that said however not all manufacturing techniques are the same. Sometimes when joining the metal in say a Cuban link bracelet or something there are different ways it can be done. Some are better (sturdier) and more expensive than others. I think Fok touched on this earlier in this thread.

For jewelry that fits in your price range someone had posted this on the forum before. I've never bought anything from them but it looks solid.


Appreciate it. I believe it was mentioned before that werkstatt has some shoddy stuff due to them not closing their links fully? Something like that. Will check out silver stone

Not quite the designer jewelry everybody’s after. But I loved this hand beaded African necklace i came across somewhere years ago and thought I’d share.

I used to have a really cool peanuts & co silver bulldog ring with an emerald and ruby eyes. I sold it but it was super cool

Sounds dope. I think next for me will be some Good Art bracelets. Haven't tried that brand yet but really feeling some of their stuff...largely thanks to SF!

That's a nice ring, but it would maybe, barely, fit my pinkie. My ring finger is a 10-11, so...

Anyway, I just got the knife as well. So nice.

yeah :/ I got small fingers. My ring fingers are 8-8.5 depending on ring. Middle and index are 9-10 depending on ring. Not sure what pinkies are but probs 6-7.5

Finally got jewelery of my own thanks to the Mr.Porter sale after lurking here for a while. Thank you to everyone posting in this thread.

Index : Peyote Bird - seems wayyy darker in person, do I need to polish? https://www.mrporter.com/en-us/mens.../rings/sterling-silver-ring/16494023980279942

Also feels very light, I'd imagine that means less material is used unless they mixed it with something else as well. Should I be worried of this getting more damaged quickly?

Middle : Maple - M size is ~10.5 ring size, has some heft to it compared to the other ring

Thoughts on thumb and index combo?

Anyone got any videos or blogs they would recommend on making jewelery?
