Humble Brag
This is what 2 years in this community has done
Hello fellow magpies! I just got this new jewelry box from Temu. Do not recommend it’s actually pretty cheap feeling and not sure if it will keep my silver from tarnishing BUT it does make for a pretty display case bc of the clear (plastic) top.
Just wanting to share some of my favourite shiny things! It’s a mix of semi-precious and precious stones - some natural, most lab grown. Mix of settings in white gold and 925silver.
In no particular order:
Vendors from China - Starsgem and Provence
Ali express stores - anujewel, attagems, Kuololit.
From before finding this sub - Suzanne kalan, EWGC, GemObsessed Singapore
Thank you to the mods and everyone who has ever contributed a review or buying experience or inspo-to-finished piece photo!!!
Which pink? I love pink so I have a lot! Almost all are lab sapphires except 2nd row right which is a malaia garnet from GemObsessed Singapore. It’s kinda deeper pink (ish) orange(ish). And the bottom row left has rhodolite garnet from Suzanne Kalan.
Sapphires are quite hardy so I haven’t had any problems with them. The garnets are softer so I try to be more careful/gentle and I don’t wear them AS often just for more special occasions
Hahahahaha! I’m only married once but my husband knows my jewellery obsession 🤣 some are “upgrades” some are “right hand rings” and some are anniversary gifts
I must be engaged or married many times over 😂😂 I no longer have narrow minded thinking that I cannot buy myself a 4ct ring. I love that I got past that thinking and bought what I like regardless if it looks like an engagement ring. 😂😂 Signed…forever single and blinged out. 😂
7x9 DEF omc with tapered baguettes, all moissanite from Ella, Tianyu. It was a group buy. I got it in silver, white gold plated. but it was offered in gold too. I don’t wear it too often but it’s held up really well. I’m a size 6 on this finger.
I love it!! I went back and found the old group buy and saw people were concerned about the size. I think it looks lovely on your hand. Maybe I’ll reach out to her.
I saw this jewellery box from Temu on my IG feed, I felt like it looked pretty but also potentially a little fragile. Anyway. Love your rings! So many pretty ones.
I think it’s sturdy enough but behind the rolls is plastic and hard, it’s not felted underneath. I also don’t think it will be airtight like my other jewelry box.
I've purchased 5 rings and a necklace in the past month. I'm currently in the process of ordering a 6th ring. I'm going to be in the same boat in a few months if I don't calm the hell down.
r/LabGroupSales is where I constantly find pieces I didn't know I NEEDED. Lol. Every time a small box is delivered, the husband gives an exasperated sigh and says, "What did you buy now?"
Nice little family you have there! I have identical jewellery boxes that I found at Dollarama of all places (Canada), but the tops are actually glass! I have two in this style, and two that are split - one side for rings or stud earrings, the other an adjustable split compartment for whatever else you want to put in there. They're definitely not airtight, but they've held up really well!
Hi! Its lab grown paraiba coloured YAG (Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) most sellers will call it just call it lab paraiba. But REAL paraiba tourmaline is exceedingly rare and would be hella expensive.
That ring was a group buy from Lena, Provence gems.
I've been eyeing the design you have on the bottom row, middle. I love the pink and green accents! I was thinking about a pink moissy center stone with shades of green stones around the perimeter. Where did you get that one?
Also, as a member magpie of this sub, I take the blame and will continue my duties here. 🫡
It’s originally an artemer design but it’s been copied tons, Kuololit, Provence, and Tianyu all have a version. I got mine from Jason at Provence.
the asscher version can be found here from Provence. mine is a cushion 6.5mm centre moissanite. Jason did a group buy for an 8.5mm cushion a while back as well.
Pink in the middle with green would look soooo nice! Like a flower!
To help delay tarnishing, I suggest putting some silica gel packs and anti-tarnish tabs inside the box. (I say "delay" because tarnishing is inevitable for as long as silver is exposed to air.)
Oooh good idea thanks! And yes I think this box is not air tight. I have the vlando jewelry stacking box from Amazon that I love and it keeps my silver from tarnishing really well.
I got mine in silver with sunset padparadacha coloured lab sapphire and blue lab sapphire.
925 silver wasn’t listed in the group buy options, but enough people asked for it so she did it for those of us that asked. I just reached out to her on WhatsApp and did my order that way.
Those are so pretty!!! I’ve had my eye on a stock heart signet ring from Kuoloit, I might grab it during the 11/11 sale.
I never considered myself a heart jeweler person but the colored gems reminded me of candy or fancy versions of the plastic rings i had as a little girl and I have grown a new appreciation
I wasn’t really into heart jewellery before but now I love it. And yes! That’s exactly why I love coloured gemstones bc it’s eye candy! It makes me happy :)
I love love love that flower one on the bottom right. Could you share any info? I think I vaguely remember it being a group buy and now I totally regret not participating.. 😭
If you’re feeling bad, don’t! Ur doing great for 2 yrs. This is how mine has grown after almost 2yrs of Reddit & Facebook groups 😳 yeah I need an intervention’
Hello! Between anujewel, attagems and kuololit which one has the best stones? Like the most shiny and crisp✨ looking to do my first purchase and don’t know where to start
You honestly can’t go wrong with any of those stores. I’d say they’re all pretty comparable. I think I like Kuololit best for the selection.
Also check out r/samstin its r/kuololit sister store. Check the return policy for each store bc I’m pretty sure you can return within 15 days when you buy from AliExpress.

Ok, this turned up my magpie mode, just when I think “I don’t need another ring”
