However white-gold is marginally stronger then yellow-gold making it a superior material for setting precious stones. |

Very neat :thumbsup; I’ve been thinking of picking up a money clip too haha I had a silver one when I was a kid. Then I stopped using cash and must’ve lost it. I was reading a book about personal finance yesterday, and it explains how using cash can help you save money, because you actually see it go, as opposed with a credit card or debit card So maybe I can get back into it.

I used to do the same thing when I carried cash! My Mom told me that was for good luck. Looking back, I think it taught me to be organized and know how much money and I had in my wallet, with no surprises at all. |

Always been a jewelry fan. Have several necklaces and rings I rotate. Here are two of my rings with my daily curb link bracelet. All are in 18K yellow gold.

Been eyeing a 3.5mm rope chain on Sarraf's site. Its the cut length and weight I want. Looks like they are in LA. Has anyone does business with them ? Them seem very legit but trying to do my homework.

Very nice I keep hearing that gold jewelry is a good investment! (As in something you can wear for years, sell it if you have to, and not lose money) |

Most gold will be purchased by jewelers who will pay "scrap" prices and melt it down. So, in reality, you will lose money unless you keep it for a very very long time.

I have traded pieces in the past to get other things made, but intend to keep everything at this point. Enjoy it while I can. Cheers |

Had this ring made about two years ago. Its 14K yellow gold with a Siberian Nephrite Jade cabochon. Bought the stone from a cutter and sent it out to have the ring made. Great daily wear ring.

I like shiny stuff too! Recently I’ve found it hard to admit that u like shiny stuff. But now I admit it and I don’t care what others think. We all like different things and that’s okay ! |

Very nice! What does cabochon mean? Sometimes I see rings that use the word cabochon, and sometimes I see rings that don’t Is it a certain way to cut a stone or what? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yes it’s the way the stone is cut. A cabochon is highly polished but not faceted. From what I’ve seen they usually have the domed or rounded appearance. Cheers, Tim

Hi schoolboy, great idea for a thread
Like my rings and bracelets. My bracelet choice has evolved over the years and I have now got my daily wearer. Perfect size and weight: |

Hey Tony! Thanks, I’ve liked jewelry over the years, but have focused on other things. This time around I am trying to get back into it. I really like the Emporio bracelet, the other thinner one is really neat too Let’s see a pic of your rings when you get a chance! |

Used to wear bracelets, a ring etc...
Gave it all up once I grew up and realized a watch is all I need
