I think that’s fair.Sure, i would just regard them more like fashion jewelry. I think they get a bad rap because some vendors present them as if they are on par with heirloom quality diamonds.
I could see how they might not be everyone’s cupI would not consider buying these... the combo of wildly mismatched and weird-colored rough is just... very offputting to me. Like anyone who likes them, you do you. But meanwhile I’ll do me and not get them. At least that store has them priced reasonably (and a bunch of cute stuff that isn’t these) - sometimes I see things basically like this priced at $2k or so.
That is just shady!2k is not ok :/ also hate to see a "herkimer diamond" aka quartz presented as if it were a diamond or diamond substitute.
Some of these are more pepper than salt.No, but there are definitely some salt and pepper diamonds I've liked. Just not these ones.
Truthfully, the thing that floats my boat is still en route and it’s not these. If I love it in person as much as I love the photos and videos I’ve gotten, I will be on a bling ban for the rest of this year.No - I prefer to save my money for good quality jewels. I'm sure that some like them and that's ok too. What every floats your boat.
I like the out of the box idea, but don't like the diamonds. In colored stones you can forgive inclusions if there is great color. The diamonds don't have great color and the inclusions IMHO make them look like rock salt. Now if they were cognac color with sparkle, I might think differently.
Not for me, either, at any price.
I love innovative design, but I don't find them attractive.
No...They do look like rock salt...
Not for me...
I think some context would help. If they were part of a ‘look’ that emphasizes elemental and organic roughness, like hemp and suede, charmeuse and kidskin - it brings to mind some of the older Donna Karan imagery. I think they would be a good match for the aesthetics in this old video:
Personally, I’d wear them if they were 10x bigger and layered with off-color pearls and white sea glass.
I think it’s safe to say you’re all in good company!
Sorry @JPie!
It’s a diamond Rorschach test!
That ring is certainly less disconcerting than this set of chompers!
I think the hair jewelry can be quite pretty but I don't know if I would wear it. I do like the idea of turning a loved one into a diamond though!

Gives a new meaning to "pearly whites"
