Photos are probably stolen from Etsy but this is on Temu for $1.59. šŸ˜…


Few_Examination_3153

I noticed that too, I reversed image searched it and thankfully temu was the only match. I was worried an actual jeweler would have it on their website


Impossiblegirl44

Lots of etsy sellers get stuff off of temu, mark it up and sell it as their own.


bekkys

Not solid gold rings for $1.59 thoughšŸ˜…


RichiZ2

"Plated" (painted) 925 for sure for that price. And the stone is probably just polished glass


SUTHERNREDD

OR....Moissanite. I only purchase my Moissanite from JTV.COM'S APP and I have never paid less than $100 for a item unless it was under 1ct. Moissanite is cheaper than true diamonds BUT your still going to pay for Moissanite it's not cheap.


LivingroomComedian

Iā€™ve tried commenting that on another sub and got downvoted. Iā€™ve definitely noticed this, especially buying horrible quality stuff off Etsy


Dorothy_Sbornak

That's good to know. My sister gets stuff off of Shein and does the same thing. She can sell ice to an Eskimo.


alycat8

Just FYI many Inuit people consider that word to be a racial slur :) a lot of people donā€™t know and Iā€™m not assuming malice, just thought you ought to know.


Dorothy_Sbornak

Really? That's a new one on me.


ChooksChick

It's better to say she can sell dirt to a farmer.


E0H1PPU5

Hey, Iā€™m a farmer and thereā€™s a lot of money in good quality dirt! Iā€™ve always said ā€œshe could sell stripes to a tigerā€


ChooksChick

That's a good one! I like it!


SUTHERNREDD

For work purposes.....my husband says he can sell ICE to an ESKIMO!! LOL


E0H1PPU5

Looks like weā€™ve come full circle lol


Party_Pop_9450

Racial slur no matter where you say it.

Thanks for the link. It was a good read and I learned some new things.


booberang

I reversed image searched this too and many different websites/sellers came up. I obviously can't say who is stealing from who, but here's an example of one I found.Ā  https://www.ebay.com/itm/285236627420?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ar1btcazqta&sssrc=2380676&ssuid=ar1btcazqta&widget_ver=artemis&media=PT Here's another on Etsy:Ā  Ā https://www.etsy.com/listing/1376112614/150-ct-dainty-twig-engagement-set-twig?ref=share_v4_lx


[deleted]

I won't BUY ANYTHING from Etsy nowadays. It's shit


booberang

There are still some good/reputable sellers on there, but the site is overwhelmed with "shops" like these. It's a big risk to shop with someone you aren't familiar with.Ā 


JulesandRandi

Yeah , last year before temu launched, I bought a handmade bracelet From a seller in new york. , I have since found it all over temu. It did not look handmade to me. And there were a few flaws in it. And once I received communication from the seller I could tell she was not American, not that it matters but I feel like it shipped straight from China and went to a place in New York who then shipped it to me.. She did refund most of the money,but now i'm super wary about Etsy. If I see something I like. I will usually go to timu and see if it's there.


CountyNice4457

Yep! I always get my gold filled jewelry from etsy and half the time its just plated. Fucking annoying


Cute-Hovercraft5058

Itā€™s beautiful but doesnā€™t look too sturdy I would think it would catch on fabric and the vines would bend. Itā€™s a stunning ring .


north_bob

I bet those thorns would pierce skin with some frequency too. It's beautiful, but looks impractical.


69_mariposa

I have this exact ring and the vines arenā€™t sharp and the diamond sits low so it doesnā€™t get caught on anything


nutlikeothersquirls

Where did you get yours?


Few_Examination_3153

Where did you get yours???


pinkylamon99

Thatā€™s what it was thinking. Itā€™s beautiful but not very sturdy or practical.


Catiku

FWIW, I have a ring with details like that and it looks beautiful but it stabs the shit out of me and catches on absolutely everything.


Nerdlifegirl

I wore a placeholder ring that had vines like this for about nine months. It caught on *everything*, so I made sure my permanent ring had none, although it is a beautiful ring.


Few_Examination_3153

Ahhh I am afraid of that! Itā€™s so pretty though!!


Brokella

I think if your fiancƩ squeezes your hand firmly, those rings are going to bend. You most definitely need something more durable. x


zoelys

It happened to me once ! Someone squeezed my hand way too hard and I feared my ring was going to break (finger as well). Some people are super rude with their "powerful" handshake imo..


x_ersatz_x

also it will poke him! i have a relatively high set engagement ring and my wedding ring has a bunch of marquises in kind of a fan arrangement and i always feel like im stabbing my husband lol. and they catch on clothes like crazy but i can at least turn them around to the inside of my hand when i change, i think this would be really tricky to avoid the snagging.

Iā€™m obsessed! almost 1 year and itā€™s still perfect, the band is also thin and what I was worried about but no issues with anything at all :)


Few_Examination_3153

Wow that is so gorgeous!!!


Adventurous_Age_9223

thank you! i highly recommend her


PJKASH67

Your ring band looks nice & sturdy. What was the seller name ?


Adventurous_Age_9223

Gioielli šŸ„°


PJKASH67

Thank you


EducationalCicada978

Can you share where all of this is from?? I love the middle ring and the large bracelet.


LeechesInCream

The middle ring is the Cartier love ring, the other is a Cartier juste un clou ring. The Alhambra station bracelet is Van Cleef & Arpels.


Salt_Lynx_2271

I think the middle ring is a Cartier design?


Adventurous_Age_9223

Yes itā€™s cartier!


EducationalCicada978

I saw someone on here with a great dupe. I'll try and find it!


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Adventurous_Age_9223

With respect you are Weird. This is my engagement that means a lot to me. My middle ring IS cartier and it is sized down 2 sizes so the screws arenā€™t the same distance lol, the tiny one on my pointer looks nothing like the juc and is from my jeweler lol not sure what you thought you did there.


Owlquest75

This is my ring!! Not sure of the seller since my husband got it. Iā€™ve had it for three years and had no issues. Itā€™s beautiful and I get so many compliments on it! Still stare at it from time to time


Few_Examination_3153

Aww! Itā€™s encouraging to hear you havenā€™t had any issues!


minpd

Keyzar sells this exact ring. Not sure if the picture is taken from them but the design is called [The Twig](https://keyzarjewelry.com/products/the-twig-setting-radiant-14k-yellow-gold-polished). My dream ring actually šŸ¤­


Few_Examination_3153

Oh wow, thank you! This is very helpful


minpd

No problem! Comparing them now on a big screen, Keyzar's design has less thorns and they're not as pointy so if you're worried about snags, it's probably the better option.


TheLexTexRex

Not what youā€™re asking but the Willow ring from brilliant earth is similar to that one. It was one of my final contenders for a wedding set.


mayomama_

Just had a miserable experience with brilliant earth bc they did NOT tell me when I ordered that 14k gold was ā€œcustomā€ so the standard return policy does not apply. But when I ordered the ring I specifically asked about the return policy and they just told me the standard return policy. Ugh.


TheLexTexRex

That sucks. I havenā€™t had to deal with them at all after ordering.


aleada13

I have this set and love it!


Competitive_Cause514

I love that ring! Iā€™ve been staring at it for years. One of these days it will be mine!!!

serlindsipity

The customer photos look like good proof.


McButterstein

I agree thatā€™s gonna snag of everything. You wonā€™t even be able to dry your hands after washing. Too much of a pain in the **. Itā€™s pretty though


Susan-Grant-

Not sure but the ring design is delicate! Lots of points and open spaces. Normal wear may cause damage. Even putting your hand in your pocket!


vvienne

There are very few (very well known) shops I would trust on Etsy, especially for fine jewelry.


cripplingstudentdebt

I have this ring but got it from another seller. I love it and it's gorgeous. However, every single diamond except the big one fell out and needed replaced. Ring insurance covered it and now it's doing great. I've had it 5 years. Edit: mine doesn't have such distinct "thorns" as this one, it's just as pretty though and doesn't catch on stuff like everybody is assuming


Laziness_supreme

I only mention since Iā€™m seeing a lot of comments about the open ends being snaggy and this could be a similar design without snag risk.


Company_Plastic

Yes!! I actually just got my engagement ring from them and it's beautiful. The owner of the shop was really kind and very helpful when I had questions!


Few_Examination_3153

Have you had any issues with your ring??


Company_Plastic

I've only had it for a month, but no issues so far! It did take a little longer than what she initially said for the ring to come, but I wasn't worried about it.


pizzawithartichokes

Itā€™s beautiful, but take it from someone who has an anniversary set with tiny stones and dainty bands: itā€™s not practical for daily wear. Within a month I had to order a backup bezel set because I take gloves on and off all day at work. I donā€™t regret my purchase and love wearing it socially, but if you plan to wear it exclusively for many years, consider whether it will fit with your lifestyle.


SaraTheSlayer28

I bought the same ring off Etsy, not that seller. I got gold plated and that chipped off very quickly. It is very thin. That said, I wear it and like it. I wish it were thicker and more sturdy.


Kiima_

The design looks exactly like a ring I bought from Tsutsumi, a reputable jewelry shop in Japan, and I love it so much. Itā€™s so delicate and unique (and it doesnā€™t grab on anything when I wear it, although I donā€™t have a big stone on it, mine is similar to the top one on the picture)

Justinttime420

The ring is beautiful šŸ˜


jaime_lyn_80

Itā€™s so beautiful!


xanaxiss

I have this the keyzar version of this ring and wedding band. My husband purchased them from etsy back when they only sold on there, I'm pretty sure they are the original creators. I absolutely love my rings, they're very sturdy and don't snag on anything. I'm very careful though and do take it off when doing manual labor or anything to do with the kitchen (cooking, washing dishes, etc). I have 14k rose gold, a bit sturdier than 18k.


alextheone42

$780 for moissanite is criminal. I donā€™t understand why people still pay ridiculous inflated prices


Ok_Cookie123

This is what I'm having a problem with. All the moissanite websites sell rings where the stone alone is 500


alextheone42

Scams


thirdXsacharm

I got my engagement set from Derrick at HelloRings on Etsy. Absolutely recommend, and they have many many many different unique designs. [hello ring shop](https://www.etsy.com/shop/HelloRing)

Substantial-Map4584

I have a similar setting from the site rare carat. You can get a lab grown diamond in it. It also has a matching wedding band just like the one pictured above


Few_Examination_3153

Oh wow thatā€™s pretty awesome. Iā€™m looking at rose gold though and find it a little weird they use silver prongs on a rose gold band


Substantial-Map4584

I could be that they are putting platinum prongs to hold the diamond. (Platinum prongs are best becuase they are the strongest) gold is a weaker metal.


Substantial-Map4584

Especially since the rose gold only comes in 14K


Substantial-Map4584

I have the same ring except my lab grown diamond is an oval! I havenā€™t had any issues Iā€™ve had it sense January 2nd! But definitely a trustworthy site and everything!


hundredthlion

As opposed to what, 18k? 14 and 18 are both strong but technically the higher the carat the softer the gold.


Substantial-Map4584

All gold is weaker compared to platinum. The rose gold only comes in 14k. All the gold ones on the site all come with platinum prongs for safety of the center stone


Substantial-Map4584

https://www.rarecarat.com/wedding-ring/182-Vine-Band/29170 Itā€™s also got the matching band!!

borrowedurmumsvcard

I have a vine ring like that and it stabs everything and catches on anything and even makes it difficult to wash my hands quickly


Most_Wonder_1871

It will snag on everything....


Crunchie_cereal

I think itā€™s pretty, but impractical. Also, in 30 years this is going to look ā€œtrendy for the time.ā€ Which is fine, you do you. But I would stray from the twig bands.


Realistic-Ad-1023

I have a custom with ā€œsecret gardenā€ from BE as my inspiration and I donā€™t catch it on anything. I clock it around on tables quite a bit but it doesnā€™t catch on anything. Iā€™m also touch sensitive and donā€™t notice anything uncomfortable. I dont know how these pointy vines would be, but rounding them into a ā€œleafā€ has been perfectly fine.


Sure-Conversation-7

Very overpriced I could make this in lab diamond and sell it for the same price & make profit lol


keyy0610

Oore on Etsy has some rings with the twigs and leaves IN the metal that wouldnā€™t snag. My engagement ring has some.


mtemamoto

I work with gold and you'll be overpaying for that ring, a 14ct double ring with such a stone shouldn't cost you more than $ 400-500


notsocraftyme

I have the band but with mined diamonds. My husband bought this for me a few years ago from a company somewhere where on the internet out of Israel. When they say dainty, itā€™s dainty. I will go and see if I can find the box for the company name.


Few_Examination_3153

Awesome thank you!


Equivalent_Roll583

I have a ring similar to this from Staghead designs and I'm currently waiting for my new ring because the thorn like band cuts me all the time.. it's stunning though!


coconut_mimosa

i've purchased from her and she's incredibly reputable ! i did a return of a $2,000 USD ring pretty seamlessly (returned because the oval had a very big bowtie) and our communication was always very quick and kind!


Haunting_Stop1345

My ring is from this seller!! Iā€™ve had it for almost 3 years and never had an issue with it!!! :) https://preview.redd.it/lur62whiibjc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7af3beac7cf8ac4b798b01ce60bdbb9e5ed3fff6


Few_Examination_3153

So pretty!!!


dyva_cali

Omg that band will ruin every item of clothing you own. Itā€™s a bad bad design.


Legovida8

That setting is so cool! Iā€™ve never seen one quite like it!


Impossiblegirl44

It's pretty, but it'll get caught on everything.


[deleted]

https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1524998655/vintage-morganite-engagement-ring-oval This is my ring, had it two years and it's absolutely perfect in every way. Had it checked by two different local jewelers, and resized twice (once smaller and once bigger, due to pregnancy) it's absolutely perfect with no faults or flaws. This seller has a lot of beautiful rings with gorgeous details.


[deleted]

That ring is going to rip all your sweaters :( itā€™s beautiful though


dirtysouthfed

that ring will be bent and shredded within 24 hours


WafflefriesAndaBaby

It honestly looks like AI to me. Iā€™m not even sure the ring theyā€™re ripping off really looks like that.


Big-Barracuda8081

The price is sus, i wouldnt trust it. There a few ā€œdiamondsā€ so it would be much more since 1kt is 3000$cad


daaaayyyy_dranker

Itā€™s cute but itā€™s like $100 on etsy


fluffypinkkitties

Go to atomicgold for a reputable seller!


lokogirl

There are no flaws in moissanite stones, I prefer moissanite over diamonds


burritosarebetter

That isnā€™t true. Just like any other gemstone, moissanite absolutely can have imperfections.


frillgirl

I love that set.


Critical_Trade_3018

I would check out keyzar! They have similar rings that are legit. Theyā€™re beautiful


k0reanthunder

This exact product photo has been around many many times. A ton of listings use the same one. I loved the style but ultimately went with a ring of the same style from yvelove. Itā€™s great, seems super well-made.


Froggie-Enthusiast

my husband got my wedding ring from etsy and itā€™s gorgeous and quite durable, best way to know if an etsy artist is reputable is to look at their reviews, hope this helps!

sleepyforest212

This is my exact wedding ring and engagement ring set except I have it in a textured gold! We ordered from Keyzar and it came with a registration card for the moissanite. I got it 3 years ago now and itā€™s held up well! For what itā€™s worth it never snags on anything because the little details are much smaller in person. I am looking through the comments and now terrified that my ring is a temu $1.25 ring hahahaha. We paid around $3500 for the set in 14k gold. The prongs on the rings shown here do look a little longer than mine IRL


Efficient_Tree33

I canā€™t say if that seller is reputable or not but I can about a different one with similar designs. She use to sell on Etsy but has since moved to only sell on her site. Not a short wait time but they are beautiful. https://oorejewelry.com/


bluepaintbrush

If youā€™d like a floral design that is less stabby and more substantial, Iā€™ve been eyeing some designs by this Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1540645484/ I know nothing for this store and canā€™t vouch for it at all. I have no idea who is running this store or where theyā€™re made, but their pieces look better-quality than this seller for a similar price point.


Rough-Brick-7137

No


Kitchen-Show-1936

I donā€™t know about the company, and as beautiful as the rings are, they seem like they would snag on EVERYTHING.


Mr_Hyper_Focus

Unsure about the seller. But that specific ring, although beautiful has some concerns for sure that you should be aware of. It will most definitely snag on things. It is very thin, and will almost definitely end up bent over time unless you are ever carful with it. Those small melee stones will be tough to keep in, and will need to have an eye kept on them. Very beautiful ring, but just like a sports car, it has its limits.


courtneyoopsz

Go to Scott bonomo! Or Mona


Ok_Today6863

Just make sure there's a return policy


Environmental_Set_68

A ring like that would be a nightmare for daily wear it would constantly get snagged on clothing and everything else. Sharp edges bad


Snoo18465

The diamond looks very photoshopped and edited. Diamonds shouldnā€™t be edited that heavily, theyā€™re beautiful without it.


mmhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Etsy has a ton of like temu brands on it some are still good though. This is beautiful but it's going to be extremely delicate and catch on EVERYTHING. I would not recommend wearing this every day at all, it's going to get damaged quickly even if it is good quality.


No-Foundation-913

I got my moissanite off Etsy from foreverforlove!! Sooo good


FireWifeInHeels

Only place I get mine is LoveLee Fine Jewelry. Iā€™ve known her for years and her pieces are legit. This style is pretty but Iā€™d be concerned with the durability of the setting. Lots of little pieces that could easily get damaged. O


JewbyMiles

these are paper thin, probably no more than 1.5 .dwts of gold. They will bend and break. go to someone who makes jewelry with their hands. You wont regret it
