Is there a show me your unique jewelry thread?

[winnietucker]

I feel like there probably is but I couldn’t find anything recent or thorough. It’d be nice to look at more artistic pieces any PS-ers may own.

 

[Tartansparkles]

I'd like to think the tiny diamonds (originally from a remake of my gran's ring) in the bezel of my ring make the home-made design unique and artistic - but that may not be the kind of artistic that you are looking for I would also love to see everyone else's unique jewelry.

The 4 diamonds aren't particularly noticeable though they do flash if they catch the light. Their addition was more about using them (leftovers from a remake that went wrong) rather than leaving them to languish in a drawer as they have been for the past 10 years. The band is 9ct yellow good with satin finish with a 9ct white gold bezel cup.

PS gave me the inspiration and confidence to get something exactly as I wanted it to be - but there will be pieces far more artistic than mine - and I'd love to see them!

This is the iconic pieces thread (people do not post their own, it is more of a nomination system)...https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/the-pricescope-hall-of-fame-iconic-pricescope-jewelry.212533/

Love this thread idea. I am apart from most of my jewelry sadly sequestered at our beach house since May (there are worse places to be sequestered lol) and I don't think I have much in the way of unique jewelry anyway. But for a special birthday my dh bought me a sapphire aquamarine diamond necklace from my favorite antique/estate jewelry shop. I have never seen anything similar before nor after but of course that doesn't mean it is unique per se. Just unique for me.

I don't have any good photos of it but will share what I do have and when I get back to NYC (when oh when will that be....life keeps throwing us curve balls sigh) I will take more photos of it.





Closeup (not the best closeup but the only one I have)






and one more necklace not unique per se but the setting is something I had not seen before I got it. Rose quartz necklace. Very feminine setting and color.



Lastly my black opal. I know the setting is not unique but I feel the stone is as I have never seen another like it on anyone else.




Some truly unique gemstones right here. Sadly not mine lol. But these are unique for sure.

 

[Tartansparkles]

I love all these colourful pieces and @missy your sapphire necklace is gorgeous with the curving swirls of the sapphire detail.

Thank you @Tartansparkles. I know it isn't unique but I have never seen another like it so that's why I shared it. I think it would be very hard to find anything truly unique these days. But I am looking forward to seeing others contributions to this thread. Love the idea.

And your homemade bezel ring is so lovely! I really adore it. Organic and gorgeous.

Beautiful color on your center stone!
Can we see more pics of that cute penguin please?

 

[winnietucker]

@Tartansparkles Very pretty! I’m loving the satin finish and the sentiment of remaking your grandmother’s ring! That’s so sweet.

@lydial Lol that’s made me wonder if there was a thread for just unique pieces. I must have looked through that thread 2-3 time already...

@missy Your collection is so beautiful! I love how intricate your pendants are. Where did you see those gemstone pieces? The butterflies and the flowers are my fave. I wish I had that in my collection.

Why oh why have I never seen that sapphire/aqua necklace? OMG!!!!!!!!!

 

[Catmom]

I guess you could say my "creature" pin/brooch collection is pretty unique. I'll have to take a group shot.

Hi @winnietucker and thank you. The butterfly and flower collection are true works of art. Masterpieces. I saw those many years ago at the JAR exhibit at the Met. In person truly breathtaking. I took the photos surreptitiously and to my surprise none of the security guards stopped me. I did it for PSers because usually I am a very good girl and follow the rules.


ETA: here's a link to the thread with more of the photos I took in it. Hope you enjoy.

Going to the JAR exhibit at the Met in NYC?

Hi @Catmom and thanks. I think because I just can never get a good photo of it. It is one of my favorite necklaces.

Pretty please take a photo of all your gorgeous creatures. I am in love with your collection.

 

[luv2sparkle]

@missy, I love the necklace. Holy Cow. It is wonderful. What a find!

@Catmom, I would love to see a pic of your whole collection! I don't think anyone here has one even close to it.

 

[mrs-b]

Anything owned by @yssie.

(Sorry @winnietucker - don't have the time to hunt down her stuff at the moment, but you'll find that virtually anything created by Yssie falls into this category, so - worth a look!)

I also would love to see more of @yssie's pieces.

I think artistic jewelry is subjective, as in all other areas of art, but seeing other pieces which are out of the ordinary gives us all the opportunity to expand our own repertoire IMHO.

Thanks for sharing! I need to look at this after work.

@Catmom Yes, please share!

@mrs-b Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to go look through her post history.

These are super cute and I love your backsplash. Or is it wallpaper?

Thank you, it's wallpaper.

Oh my gosh sooo cute! Oh I love them!

 

[Catmom]

Sorry, this is the best I can do at the moment. No sun and I'm having vision issues so it's blurry which is how I'm seeing right now. The sun is supposed to come out this afternoon so maybe I can get something better then.

I just realized I missed two. I'll have to try again.

This is amazing. How did you start collecting these? And can you tell me more about that yellow dragonfly? I love everything about it.

Thank you winnietucker! I think it started a long time ago with a Christmas pin collection. I was always sad when Christmas was over and I didn't have any pins/brooches and then it spread from there. You have a good eye! The yellow dragonfly is gorgeous and that picture does not do it justice at all. It is 18kt white and yellow gold, .92 cts FY diamonds, .66 cts FB diamonds and .35cts G VS2 white diamonds.

Do you have the opportunity to wear them often? They are beautiful. I'm a jeans, t-shirt and puffy jacket kinda gal. Sometimes I wish I lived a more elegant lifestyle with the opportunity to wear such fabulous jewelry (but then I remind myself that elegance takes effort and who am I kidding!)

 

[MakingTheGrade]

Some of my weird pieces lol

I don't have much that isn't jeans and a tshirt or sweater. Doesn't stop me from wearing them. They just have to pass the cat box test.

Haha what’s the cat box test?

If I can wear it while cleaning cat boxes then all is good.

 

[missy]

LOL I hear you. There are some (many) days where I feel most of the time I am cleaning the litter boxes. Oy and Vey. When you have 3 adult cats (one who is very old) and a kitten with GI issues that's what you get I guess.

Some of my weird pieces lol

I love the heart with the dangling diamonds...it's a paw right? Unique and memorable.
