Im a jeweler. Buy weight. Melee diamonds are worthless. If you buy under 1 carat you can get a decent price break by the carat. Buy gold and have your jeweler work the metals you provide. If a client provides the material i only charge my labor. Saves them a ton. And i don't mark my stuff up 1000% usually around 300%. Do my best to be as fair as possible with also making my wages. Take care.

Jewelry itself is not a bad purchase or investment. The issue comes with CUSTOM pieces. It doesn't matter how many diamonds and how much gold, platinum etc are in your chain. If you have something along the lines of T-Pain's Big Ass Chain, it doesn't matter if it cost you 100k or more. You're not gonna be able to resell it later for anywhere near that, unless you get lucky and find a super fan who also happens to be obscenely wealthy, and that's not common. There's nothing wrong with buying some nice, expensive jewelry whether you're a rapper or not. But don't buy a rolex or a pendant that's so full of stones that it doesn't even make sense. Just buy the actual Rolex, or just a nice Cuban Link. The difference is that they'll hold their value, or even go up in value, the shit that's custom or "bust down" will NOT.

It’s deeper than jewelry. It’s a mindset that predates these rappers. I feel like black people have experienced so many forms of trauma and dehumanizing acts, that we lost our identity and visibility within ourselves. Loud music, flashy jewelry, fast cars.. they all aid to help us in not feeling that cloak of invisibility that’s been put on us through our horrifying history. That’s why it’s so vital that we research our ancestors and our contributions to society so that we begin to understand that we’re a brilliant and powerful group of people.

The absolute truth is diamonds aren’t worth anything IF you needed cash bad. The gold will ALWAYS be worth value. Go to ANY pawn shop and find out.

All these jewellers started sprinkling in lab made diamonds (cvd) with the real ones to cut corners during a time where there was LITERALLY no way to identify them. UNTIL that yehuda machine came out that does an X-ray scan and can identify them. They pop up bright red opposed to blue if they’re natural. A bunch of jewellers got caught once that machine came out. Ppl started putting their pieces in the machine only to realize damn near half the diamonds were lab. So they charged you for 60 carats if diamonds meanwhile there was only 30 & then they also tell you it’s vvs while it’s only vs, then they cut the gold down to a lower %. Tell you it’s 14k but really give you 12-13k. After all that they still have the nerve to hit you with the ultra premium rapper price😂 so you really got fucked in each and every way.

We need a updated version of this

To be clear. Nobody but rappers and artists buy this type of jewelry. Overpricing jewelry is not a scam. If rappers want to waste their money on this it is their own fault. However, you shouldn't lie about the quality or if its real or fake. That is illegal.

The problem isn't fake jewellery, its jewellery in general. These artists are spending hundreds of thousands on worthless junk.

If you are an adult you're responsible for your own purchases and if you're so blinded by wanting to flex that you rush into buying the first thing that shines you got nobody to blame but yourself. Plus when you think about how much hustlers are praised in the rap/hip hop community it's beyond hypocritical to cry when you get hustled yourself. How a rapper gonna rap about hustling their community by dealing drugs then whine when they get worked on some jewelry. Time to grow up, stop whining about your own bad choices and learn to spend your money and stop praising hustlers if you don't like being on the other end of it.

I used to work for a jeweler and I found that the items that have small but numerous diamonds; it is usually that the diamonds are "machine cut" industrial diamonds. They are the leftovers from the high end diamonds. The value of each machine cut diamond is about $5 each. Most don't know that large diamonds (1 carat) is where the money is at.

Seeing all this I'm tryna find stainless steel jewlery for the best price. Any recommendations for the best alternatives to silver jewlery? I have a real thick silver flat curb link chain but don't want to wear it out hella and risk it getting snatched. Would rather wear imitation with a great look.

I think what's also painful about the situation is the cognitive dissonance around how a majority of diamonds & expensive jewels are sourced.....blood diamonds never stopped being a thing, y'all. And I highly doubt anything most of these rappers are wearing is ethically sourced; "workers" are being abused & dying for a wage that isn't even a CRUMB of the worth of the jewels they find. On top of that, the amount of damage & extraction being done environmentally is atrocious. While I deeply understand the need to feel seen & validated, on all sides, from jeweler, to rappers/athletes & middlemen, the desire & greed ain't worth it.

I had a custom piece made by a famous Houston jeweler about 15 years ago. I also bought a chain for it. I remember paying at least 2k for the chain and about 5k for the piece. Fast forward to 2021... went into a high end jewelry shop in Dallas to look for a Rolex. As I'm looking the owner saw my chain and offered to clean it. He also asked if I ever thought about selling the set. For kicks I asked what was he offering? He tested the chain, piece diamonds, and the piece gold. The diamonds checked out good, the chain gold checked out good, but the custom piece would not react to the gold test. He said it may contain gold but not enough to register 10k. The custom piece was deemed worthless. Funny part is the value of the chain is now more than the custom piece. So yeah, I got ripped off by a famous jeweler too. Fortunately gold prices are up enough for me to at least hold value in the chain.

What I really don’t get with some rappers is they’ll buy a very expensive patek or AP Rolex etc then ruin it by putting after market diamonds on. The diamonds they use are shit and aren’t even certified and instead of the watch value going up they cut in half what it’s worth.

The main problem is the most people couldn't tell a white diamond ( natrual , lab created) from a CZ, YAG or glass. For most people if it shines and its clear its a diamond. People need to educate themselves on the different gemstones that are out there. Even if that meas they have to become GIA certified

Damn I might start a jewelry business. Imagine getting $500k for something that's worth $40. That's crazy profit.

i think its lovely how bold faced the dude just lied in the aftermath. lets say he had a markup of 300%....that would mean the initial cost for him was still 100k. no business man on this planet would just dish out 100k for 1!!! piece of merchandise without inspecting to properly.
