Let’s talk about jewelry!
Show us your jewelry, that IS NOT a WATCH.
Male or female, chains, bracelets, rings, earrings, and everything in between! Did you buy it, inherit it, was it a gift? What does it represent to you? Do you wear it daily? Special occasions? Basically, let’s talk jewelry! |

I’ve always liked jewelry, since I was a kid. I remember always buying rings for 50 cents at little machines in grocery stores. My mom is who would give me the 50 cents, maybe once every 3-4 weeks. The rings, being super cheap, would break easily. One day when I asked mom for 50 cents again, she said “if you refrain from buying today, and save the 50 cents, then do it again, and again, eventually you can buy a nicer ring, one that you can keep forever, because it’ll be made to last” This ring above is THAT ring. I bought it when I was maybe 13 years old? Silver ring. I am now 29 and still have it. A beautiful thing. Most importantly, mom taught me how to save, and how to delay gratification, and I even received a nice ring at the end of the lesson. Love you Mom :) |

I like bracelets, have several leather ones, and really like these gold ones from Cartier.

Very nice, I remember seeing this picture in other threads Do you have any experience with Tiffany and Co? I want to order a silver curb link bracelet from them, but would have to do it online, and don’t know what quality to expect. I know they are popular, but I’m just curious. |

Thank you. I have this leather and silver bracelet, which I wore for years. Haven’t worn it lately, but the silver does tarnish. I prefer gold. Can you post a photo of the one you’re referring to? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That is nice. I don’t mind it tarnishing. The one pictured above is the one I’m interested in. I bought a silver curb link bracelet from Ben Bridge but returned it because some links were crooked. They ordered another one for me, and it was worse than the first one. I am have heard that Tiffany is popular and very well known, so I wonder what quality one can expect. I’ve looked for reviews for this specific bracelet and haven’t found any. I guess jewelry isn’t like watches where you find YouTube videos and articles discussing them.

I have a Tiff and Co curb link bracelet. Very good quality and it does tarnish like all silver (much more if you don’t wear it regularly, which I don’t). Great quality though and Tiffany offers free cleaning :)

I would expect that Tiffany would have very good quality, though I’m no expert. Many a Patek dial doesn’t carry their stamp, after all.

A "gentleman" should wear a fine Swiss watch, a wedding band if married and a class ring only if he attended a Service Academy. Period. Full stop!

Is it me, or does the term “gentleman” not mean what it used to? Every time I hear it it makes me think of some neckbeard wearing a fedora. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Awesome, thanks for the feedback. I’m going to join the waiting list here in a minute. Now my only concern is that I saw a thread on this forum talking about how delivery services aren’t requiring signatures right now :( |

Yes I wear a lot of heavy Y/G Jewellery, ID Bracelet, heavy Chain & two heavy Rings. All were purchased way back in the mid 1990’s. I wear it on a daily basis. It was fairly expensive then but I reckon it would be much more expensive now, though you don’t see a lot of this type of Jewellery in Jewellers shops now, but back then it was very much in fashion Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I appreciate jewellery craftsmanship but have no use for it.
