Somebody's Gotta Buy This Piece!

Most articles about TRR say it’s because of the insanely high quotas they have to get things listed, and because they have copywriters doing the listings. Definitely a lot of crap to sort through to find good things imo.


I’m still hunting for a high color free 5 or 5.5mm diamond if anyone spots one in the wild. Long shot, but with the price of gold so high I’m hoping to get lucky.

ugh if only it was not white gold. I've been on the lookout for one of these in plat or RG, but I'm allergic to nickel so can't do WG

Jumping in here to ask of you saw my LT listing for a Mikimoto eternity band ,platinum, in your size? Unless you are only looking for Tiffany, it is a steal, and a beautiful ring !

I think they do test for labs, but in general TRR is allows important details to slip through the cracks. There may be glaring errors or omissions, but you will never know, so I have everything I purchase from them tested and evaluated independently. I purchased a colored diamond from them once that was listed as earth mined and it came back as lab. I returned it and let my sales associate know and also wrote a message to them that it was lab so they could change it - when it was relisted it still said earth mined.
However, I follow some non jewelry brand names that come up on that site also and they will have details wrong in the listing, say it is a belt when it is a bra, or sometimes they will even put things on the mannequin in a completely crazy way (backwards is not uncommon, but I have also seen normal shirts modeled as one-shoulder tops because they put an arm through the neck hole). Long story short, I would check any expensive item I purchase with them.

Here is an article with a funny photo of TRR showing a pair of shorts as an off the shoulder top, which is good for a giggle, but it describes their process a bit also, which can help to put things into context with what we notice on the site (e.g. they don't clean items or incorrectly describe them).

This is useful info.

One of my recent quandaries with RR is jadeite not listed as dyed when it really looks dyed.

I have no idea how to confirm or detect dyed jadeite so my current strategy is to avoid buying.

PS I’m following the WONDERFUL jadeite thread on “PS colored stones”, but their strategy too is avoid buying from vendors that aren’t accurately listing (like TRR) and go with reputable ones.

Thank you for sharing. I think that is very good advice.

OMG I didn’t see that! Listen, we should not shame huge dudes with tiny hands. Tiny hands are valid!

But really who the heck made this????

I mean that’s what the internet is for, right? Trolling strangers while hiding behind our jeweled avatars. :lol: Seriously tho no hate for small hands here. I’m just jealous.

I like the tough grandma! My smallest pinky is a size 5 but it would have made an excellent right hand pinky ring for Willy’s original nugget setting.

lavenderdragonfly here is a 6, this seller is in Asia but she is where I bought exact same band a few months back and I had no issues or concerns about it being authentic

Thank you! I’ve spoken with this seller… she’s so sweet! She’s keeping an eye out for size 5.5 bezets for me. I was holding out for a size 5.5 since it’s 2mm… I’ve got time, so I figured I’d wait a bit and see if one pops up!

The center diamond is "only" 1.91 carats if I'm looking at the correct link.

You aren't kidding that the setting is an abomination, though!

Still decent value there. I actually think the cut is likely good enough in person! L VS1 is nice!
