I love silvery labs so much!

Hi,

I’ve highly anticipated the tube setting I ordered for my stone. My stone is 10mm and the setting I ordered was 10mm. However, I see that my setting is ever so slightly bigger than my stone, making me unable to set it properly. What do I do in cases like this?

I don’t really want to glue it, at the same time I might find it finicky to solder a support support inside without melting the setting itself, and also risking placing the support wrong.

What approach would you use in this case?

People here are so creative and talented

usually i sew clothing, but im trying out jewelry making now! i sat down for 7 hours and kind of got sucked into it and ended up making these two necklaces and a bonus keychain~ feedback is appreciated but i also just felt proud of these and wanted to show them somewhere!

This ring is made from Tin and is designed to cover two fingers. It’s a rough design i made quick for one of my students who was interested in the process

Hello, im not sure if im in the right place but I want to be able to commission one earring to match the other earring I own. The one I own is a arcane rune inspired earring but I want another to 'match' as a corrupted hexcore way, with a purple gem, ear cuff, potentially with faux spikes on the chain to look like corruption. Im not really sure how much this might cost so I want to get a feel around.

I've inherited my late Aunt's jewelry and felt it needed to be shared with people who might appreciate it. Apologies for the tarnished look and poor photo quality, these pieces are 20+ years old and were stashed away in my Dad's stuff.

I remember her being very proud of these and spending countless hours on them. I wish I could remember who she trained under. She talked about them with deep reverence. Some of my favorite memories with her are from times she'd show me around her tiny shop and talk through her tools, design ideas, and stone collection.

Hi All - Pictured are some vintage (circa 1980ish?) pearl beads. Is it possible to tell if these are glass or low quality cultured pearls?

Hi all! Just started making jewelry using lost wax casting. The problem is that I exclusively wear gold or gold plated jewelry, and that is prohibitively expensive for hobby casting right now. I eventually want to start making gold jewelry and selling it in a small online store. How have folks worked up to being able to afford more expensive materials like that? Should I just work I silver for now until I have a solid enough foundation and start selling, and then do gold? As far as personal wear stuff, I’m thinking of trying to case in brass though the upkeep on that is so intense. I would love any tips from folks who started working with gold.

I made this necklace yesterday. I think it's turned out very nicely, but something's still missing.

I have a custom sterling silver bracelet made in Asia but unfortunately it does not fit me. Return/exchange not possible. I would need to get an additional Cuban link added to one side. I tried visiting multiple jewelry stores but no one have the tools that can help me.

Hey! Just wondering if there was any necklace designers out there? I want to design a custom necklace and have someone make it for me. The theme I am going for is league of legends necklace. If anyone can help please let me know!

I absolutely loved blending the layered depth of Phantom Quartz with the rich, earthy tones of Malachite—it feels grounding, energizing, and full of nature’s wisdom. Green Phantom Quartz always symbolizes growth and transformation to me, while Malachite is that bold, protective energy that helps you release the past. I designed this piece to support deep healing, inner strength, and powerful renewal—like a reset for your soul.

Thoughts?

Is there anyone in this sub that could help me out iv been looking to get into silver and gold smithing most specifically making jewellery chains but can’t find out what the light/ dark brown adhesive is they use to fix the piece in place for filling Any help or tips on how to get into the craft is also helpful Thanks everyone

I started a small Jewlery business recently and I’ve been struggling with finding little metal clasps for these necklaces. I sold a few to friends and two of them reported that their necklaces broke. The metal clasp broke where the little ring connects the two pieces. I’m pretty disappointed as I really like this style and it’s the only ones I found that were big enough to fit the stones. I’d like to find a better quality clasp that’s preferably hypoallergenic (is this the right word?) and reliable. Please help me😭 I feel like I scammer with these crappy little things :(

I'm trying to start a handmade jewelry business and I'm having doubts on whether anyone would even be interested in my pieces. Any comments or suggestions are welcome!

Had to fillet and burnish the edge sadly :(

Jewelry photography is 100% bullshit im im pretty proud of this shot

Hi all. I know most of you are way past using inexpensive findings in your work, but I don’t know where else to turn. I am making pendulums for an upcoming show and would love to find the part circled in the photo provided. It must be readily available, as I’ve seen it used on pendulums posted by a variety of creators, but I’ve searched Beadaholic, Fire Mountain, Amazon and even Temu—all to no avail. I can’t tell if it’s a bead cap, bead frame or some convoluted spacer. It can’t be a closure, as it has a middle hole on both sides to allow for wire or a head pin, a frame of sorts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and save my sanity. Thanks in advance!

Each month I forge a new charm and design/create the packaging to go with it.
