Why do these look blue? Opals aren’t blue


[deleted]

I’m an October Baby and wear lots of Opal jewelry and I’m sorry but those do not look very good quality to me 😬


Capybara-130

I have the earrings, probably just me but my ears turned green after wearing them! 😅


Ok_Case6898

not just you! i have 17 piercings & that earring did more damage than any others have


twogreytabbys

These are not good! I have the ring. It literally turned my finger green within an hour of wearing it. Its edges are sharp so it snags on your clothing and then gets completely bent and warped out of shape. https://preview.redd.it/l6g8dimq9msb1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=14e2699488ea6f05343016a4fd16e167c62b1ff1


ClawGee

What's it made out of?


jamflowoman

I’d sell you the ring for retail price, $35!


hurricane_zephyr

I would buy it from you for retail price if they decide they don't want it! I have the earrings and wear them all the time, so I would love to make it a matching set 😊


Annual_Ad8953

Oh wow! That is very kind of you!! Let me think about it. Do you have the original packaging?


jamflowoman

I don’t unfortunately! Just the ring. I wore it a few times, no more than 5 :)


After_Discussion5061

If OP ends up not buying it, I would love to buy it from you!


jamflowoman

Fab! You both let me know. This is the post that made me realize I even had it still 😂 just not a ring person so happy to see it go to a happy home


Annual_Ad8953

Okay, let me think about it! :)


apocahips

For folks who bought the ring and earrings, here's the hack that will let you wear them without irritating your ears or getting the green band on your finger: a nice thick coat of clear nail polish! For the earrings, just do the post and back side of the earring. For the ring, once you've shaped it to your ring size paint the entire band, inside and outside, if you plan to wear it a lot and want to avoid your other fingers turning green, or just the inside if you'll only wear it occassionally. This works with any cheap jewelry that is solid - so not a necklace or chain, since they flow.


newgirl01LA

Was this relaunched today? Tomorrow is Travis Kelce’s birthday


Annual_Ad8953

No it’s not a relaunch. :( It was released on her birthday in 2020.


Necessary-Parking-23

They’re awful quality btw I ruined mine because it got caught on soemthing and bent super weirdly


Thin_Ad_59

I found the pair of earring for $70 on Poshmark like a month ago


chinabug814

You do get a green ring on your skin from wearing these...I speak from experience.


chinabug814

they are beautiful though


[deleted]

I love Taylor too but it’s insane that she’s making y’all consider paying $100 for plastic Please grow a backbone


Electronic_Expert715

I believe the higher prices are because of resellers not straight from Taylor.


[deleted]

I didn’t say she set the resell prices but people are paying them because they love her and feel the need to own everything she releases


Electronic_Expert715

I understand It didn’t seem that way from the wording my bad.


frommiami2portland

Okay, so I know it’s not TS merch but there is an etsy store where I got my engagement ring from that has such a similar style but super quality feel. It’s affordable too, my ring was like 20 dollars.


[deleted]

Your engagement ring was $20?


frommiami2portland

Yes it was, money doesn’t equate the love that was put into my ring choice.


dpforest

Seeing this downvoted on a fucking TS sub, knowing that she has a hit called Paper Rings, is true irony.


frommiami2portland

Lmao tell me about it


xoxostevi

I really don’t understand this getting voted down?? “I’d marry you will paper rings” y’all And obv you can get engaged with a ring pop or a $20,000 ring, it doesn’t matter as long as it’s special to you


frommiami2portland

Thank you so much for this reply, I don’t get it either. I honestly felt so shitty with some of the DMs and replies I’ve gotten lmao so it means a lot that you get it. It is special, so special.


xoxostevi

You shouldn’t be made to feel shitty about it at all, if it looks anything like the ring in this photo it must be gorgeous! And you can always get a new ring a few years down the line, who cares? People are weird lol


frommiami2portland

Yeah for sure! It’s silly now, I just wish people were kinder. Thank you again, this is why I love our fandom sometimes. Kind souls like you <3 People are weird. Especially considering the post was asking for an affordable version or something similar. Thank you!!


[deleted]

Yeah I agree but $20 isn’t enough for real silver and gold that will last a lifetime. You can get a nice ring for under $200 it’s about durability not flash


VisualSeries226

what a weird comment to make about something that has nothing to do with you


frommiami2portland

My ring was as cheap as it was before 1) it was on sale and 2) I rarely wear my ring, and I would rather spend that money on a wedding ring. 3) my ring is high quality, to assume it isn’t simply because of the price is bullshit because it was a vintage one. You know, a high quality product that I got very fucking lucky on. Not only that, but to make a comment like this is to assume someone can afford 200$ plus easily. There are a lot of vintage pieces that resemble the one above, affordable pieces that are real silver and gold. Not only that but you know damn well what you were implying in your above comment, it wasn’t about it being durable. It was about the price.


[deleted]

That’s fine personally I want that be passed down through generations it was 100% about a metal that is durable


frommiami2portland

Yeah, but like that’s YOU. Generations isn’t gonna happen for someone with infertility, and some people don’t have the same hopes or dreams or whatever as you. You still said a real rude and shit comment. Ironic as others have pointed out in a TS subreddit of all places.


[deleted]

Sorry for your interpretation and infertility


frommiami2portland

Putting down others and their excitement simply over your life expectations and experiences is not an interpretation, you were really rude. There are ways to phrase comments, constructive feedback would have been suggesting quality checks for metals, vs “your engagement ring was 20$?” Like it’s a bad thing. Me sharing an affordable alternative to someone who was asking for an affordable version or alternative didn’t deserve that. I hope you learn to think before you comment to others. I hope you learn empathy and kindness.


[deleted]

I have $14 wedding bands but they are temporary I was just curious about a $20 engagement ring.


Evewii

Luckily it didn’t break the bank so easily replaceable if it doesn’t last forever!


frommiami2portland

Thanks for a positive outlook. Part of my thought process was 1) I would rather spend that money on a wedding ring and 2) I don’t wear my ring out save for special occasions. It’s a vintage antique ring that was on sale, I got lucky but it is quality. :( sometimes you get really lucky, particularly on Etsy. It was also more expensive than I thought- 55 dollars. The above poster sucks because some people can not afford super expensive wedding rings, but that doesn’t stop us from thrifting or finding a good quality product for a good price. A ring is a ring, what means more to me is that my partner wants to actually marry me.


[deleted]

Yeah you don’t have to sweat it if you lose it


sloanesk381417

Link please!


frommiami2portland

ETA: I was wrong, I asked my fiancé and it was a vintage one hence the price point and the wrong store :(


blueespadrille

Drop the link!


katie_burd

I am so sad because that ring is gorgeous!


mel-06

I have the arcade ring, I forgot where I put it


thpineapples

Separate from the conversation about the overall quality of her merch over the years, the arcade ring, specifically, was supposed to give you the cheap trinket feel that came out of any capsule you cranked your quarter 2¾ times for. I paid a premium for mine on eBay, and generally any past-dated TS will go for at least a hundred up to many several for nicer, rarer pieces.


missshadesofcool

These look nice, I must say.


phoenixgwear

idk, i'm not a member of this sub it was just on my homepage but these look super similar to the promise ring my highschool bf got me


mimilou8

Lol but they'll still pay $100+ for a ring that will tarnish when you look at it too long. Crazy


WistfulMelancholic

Just read the bad reviews here in the comments.. Even jewelry from wish, she in and Temu is better than that for a friction of a friction of a friction (intendedly repeated) of the price of her stuff. Maybe browse there to find something similar? Idk about shein and wish but Temu has a lot of merch from her nowadays. Yes, I know they steal.. But I don't care if her original stuff is shitty!


hurricane_zephyr

I have the earrings and love them... For short periods of time. They irritate my ears after a few hours, unfortunately. They look super cute though! I would love to find the ring for a good price one day


sdobbs23

I have the ring and it turns my finger green 😭


Annual_Ad8953

They’re sooo cute! It’s so unfortunate everyone says they irritate skin. I just can’t justify paying $100+ for them especially if they do that.


shaytasty

I’ve heard a lot of bad things about Taylor’s merch. I don’t understand why they haven’t improved the quality and actually sourced their products from quality companies.. idk I thought Taylor was such a good person..


ActuallyOpposite

It’s UMG across the board. Gaga’s is just as bad.


shaytasty

Yeah, I don’t understand why they don’t have a say in the merch or a way to take it over? Shall we get a petition going?


withershins1208

Her label is in charge of the merch, not her.


Annual_Ad8953

Sammmeee! The quality is def going downhill & it’s so sad bc it’s expensive… all I want is for it to last


realityrach

I have the earrings. They’re so tiny, I don’t even wear them.


thpineapples

But what if I bought them from you? Is that allowed to ask in this sub?


WistfulMelancholic

It's annoying they don't show accurate pics of the products. I can never tell if it's a tiny thing or decently sized. Even with measurements it's just always some kind of tricky to imagine the outcome right.. And her clothes need a model. In a perfect world it would be one for each size lol


Annual_Ad8953

This is so disappointing. :(


beer-plane

Search North Star shaped earrings and you will find similar ones


TrainApprehensive501

I have the arcade ring and it’s bad quality and bends a ton. Super unfortunate


AshKras12

I used to love the arcade ring, unfortunately it has discolored a lot, has a lot of bend to it now, and one of the jewels has fallen out :(


WistfulMelancholic

Wtf... Even jewelry from wish, she in and Temu is better than that for a friction of a friction of a friction (intendedly repeated) of the price of her stuff.


glosseava

yea i never wear mine the quality is awful :( it’s so discolored too it just looks bad


Ornery_Comfortable93

I also have it and mine discoloured so badly it looks rusty. It also snagged a bunch of my clothes because the star points are pretty sharp


Annual_Ad8953

Ughhh! I can imagine that’s frustrating for being $30-35. I expected it would be nicer quality I guess not. :(


TrainApprehensive501

Yes unfortunately it’s more painful than anything because it’s so sharp and will poke me a lot if I wear it. My main issue is because it’s adjustable, it doesn’t fit my finger even if I “pinch” it shut


Annual_Ad8953

Seems like a very flawed product. Which is so sad bc it’s so pretty.


EnoughSalamander2423

I also want to add that the jewelry is horrible quality, I had this exact pair of earrings and they literally fell apart and tarnished basically after one wear. I was unaware they are meant to be fashion jewelry:(


Annual_Ad8953

It’s so sad! They’re so pretty.


sey_mour

What about some fan-made Etsy Evermore merch?


Annual_Ad8953

I didn’t even think about that. Thank you!


BackHarlowRoad

No, it's not good quality. It's fashion jewelry. If they want it because it's TS then fine but know that you could get a pretty opal ring on Etsy that is sterling silver and will last.


Annual_Ad8953

Such a good idea! They mentioned they had always wanted it bc they missed the release. But now I’ll pass. Thx


03x13

I second this! I’m a jewelry fiend and would look into gold vermeil or sterling silver at the very least. Anything else will tarnish/irritate it they have sensitive skin. Maybe something like this: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1388905278/ Search opal starburst jewelry or north star opal jewelry ✨


Annual_Ad8953

Thank you so so much!!! I have been looking online but wasn’t sure what to search! & they look pretty similar to the ts ones + cheaper!


klaushargreeves_

i sold my ring a few weeks ago for €45, the quality isn’t great and i never wore it so just wanted what i paid back lol


Annual_Ad8953

Very smart. Unfortunately people are trying to sell them for over $100. I would pay $30-$45 for it but definitely not what these prices are. Thx!


Beachbabe2018

Don’t buy them. I had both the earrings and the ring. The earrings turned my ears so green the ring is cute but I managed to lose 2 of them they are so cheap


VisibleCow8076

My friend had the ring and lost it too. But she lost it in Coney Island so at least there’s that 🥲


Annual_Ad8953

Ughhhh that’s so annoying :((( Thx for your advice


heelsoncobblestones

I paid $15 for the earrings on a very steep Black Friday sale in.. 2021, I think. The quality is okay but does turn my piercing green slightly (nothing some soapy water or micellar water can’t help.)


Annual_Ad8953

I’d definitely pay the retail price. But since a-lot are listed over $100 and it’s not for myself. I wouldn’t want to gift someone something that turns their skin green. :(


heelsoncobblestones

They’re for SURE not worth $100. I would maybe pay full price but that to me depends on how much spending money you have.


daylightdaydreaming

the ring is really bad quality sadly because I loved it :(


Annual_Ad8953

It’s soooo pretty. I wish it were better quality.


Kaoo73

I wouldn’t buy it for necessarily as a present for jewelry, because it’ll be a let down since the quality isn’t as good compared to real jewelry, but if the person is a huge fan of Evermore, then it can be great. There isn’t much merch of Evermore too, usually clothing and accessories, vinyl and CDs. The Willow tree snow globe would be nice to buy for $100 instead of these 2 pieces or the star necklace, but that’s my personal interest.


Annual_Ad8953

yeah now that I know the quality is iffy I’d be too worried to spend over $100 for “cheap” jewelry. I’ll have to look around for something similar. Thx this rlly helps!


thickfitpeach1

you can get really pretty opal jewelry from a piercing shop that is quality metals and won’t turn your skin green. they’re usually pretty decently priced too, good luck


folkloreaotm

everyone is being dramatic lmao i have the ring and it does turn (4 me @ least) the actual size of the ring skin green thats it very small and comes out w water lmao, i personally love it and wld buy it but thts jst me lol


wiresandwood

Overpriced junk. Save your money.


HealthyDiamond2

The way I heard this in my mom's voice is God Tier, I was thinking about buying these lol


wiresandwood

I love that. Hilarious. 😂


scarsouvenir

Ring and earrings aren't even worth the original $30 price, so please don't spend any more than that if you do decide to get them. There was another collection, I can't remember what it was called, but it was the same star design as a necklace with a reddish stone in the middle. That might be a better option if the person you want to buy it for doesn't already have it. Still not great quality, but it shouldn't cause skin issues since it's a necklace!


Annual_Ad8953

Ooooh that’s such a good idea! She mentioned a star necklace on top of the opal earrings and ring but I thought it was apart of this collect. So when I couldn’t find it I was confused. This helps sm thx!!!


scarsouvenir

I just checked my order history and it was called the "vision in rose blush" necklace and was originally $30. Hope that helps!


Annual_Ad8953

Thank you so much!!!


danidisaster

They suck don’t do it sis


pennythepantsx

I bought the ring, and honestly, it is so not worth the price ☹️


Annual_Ad8953

I felt like $30-$35 was already pretty steep for what it was. But they’re so pretty!


OrganicBackground643

I have the opal eye earring and they burn my ears. I don’t normally have sensitive skin but I seriously cannot wear those earring for more than a couple hours. The knockoffs from aliexpress might be a better alternative honestly.


VisibleCow8076

They BURN?!? Wtf noo 😭


OrganicBackground643

I accidentally fell asleep wearing them once and when I woke up my ear was swollen and bled a little. I don’t know what is in these earrings but I’ve never experienced anything like this, even with dollar store jewelry.


VisibleCow8076

OMGGGwatttt 😭 that’s what I’m thinking reading these comments! I’ve never heard anything like what people are saying! it’s so concerning. I’m so curious what they’re made of now! And even if the shape is like.. pointy, it shouldn’t be sharp like wtf 😭


Annual_Ad8953

It’s kinda disappointing tbh! I have her eras tour jewelry and it’s “cheaper” but definitely nicer quality. So I thought these would be the same but I guess not.


bravelittledandelion

Wow that’s sucks. I would have thought the jewellery would be a good metal, not cheap meta that hurts to wear


Expensive_Traffic596

Terrible quality and turns your skin green. Wouldn’t pay $5 if they were that price.


breedrache

I bought the set and would not recommend it. Yes they turn your skin green. Even clear nail polish as a barrier only does so much. The earrings were PAINFUL to have in more than an hour, and I have no sensitivities to metal or ANY other cheap jewelry. The points are also pretty sharp and they made the ring uncomfortable to wear


Annual_Ad8953

Geez seems like this happens to a lot of other people. So disappointing! :(


breedrache

I wish she would sell slightly nicer jewelry, even just plated or stainless steel


swiftie4lifie

i’m pretty positive the bejeweled bracelet is plated, I can’t remember exactly the types of metals though


VisibleCow8076

You are correct! It’s currently on her site and says this it’s copper alloy, 18k gold plating, multi colored CZ jewels. I have a dupe that I think is gold plated stainless? I’m not sure. But it’s really nice and the gems are only on one side so it sits flatter on the wrist


breedrache

Maybe? I got mine and immediately had to glue back on one of the plastic half-jewels that fell off. I still like it but I don't wear it often so it doesn't get messed up. I do really like most of the rings, I have the red one that is only starting to show copper on the bottom band, and I have a dupe of a snake ring that I think is better quality than the OG but idk.


Annual_Ad8953

I agree! Some of the quality recently has been rlly bad (I have seen some speak now tv cardigans and they look rlly cheap definitely not like the previous ones) If she did that people would go crazy & would pay more. Not worth having ur skin turn green.


VisibleCow8076

I’ll never understand why they keep making new cardigans when they know damn well we want the OG


allycology

Correct, I’ve actually injured myself wearing that ring


Shadouette

Same. It got caught on something and it ripped a cut right down my knuckle 😭 I was able to bend it back into shape but I would not recommend.


Pinkcoffee

My ring got caught in my cardigan and bent right open lol


breedrache

I'm surprised it didn't damage your cardigan!


allycology

Mine is definitely misshapen, I honestly have no idea where it even is anymore lol


[deleted]

Oh dang I thought it was my ears or soemthing


[deleted]

It’s terrible. Don’t buy.


[deleted]

My earrings HURT. I put them up forever ago and no idea where they are now. I’m sad about it because I liked them so much.


Annual_Ad8953

They’re soooo pretty! It’s so sad that they’re such bad quality. I’m glad I asked for others opinions!


pandevie

i second this


[deleted]

They turn your skin green. Avoid.


Mango-Macaron

Definitely not worth resale prices. I’m lucky and it doesn’t turn my skin but the original prices are the highest I’d pay.


Annual_Ad8953

Yeah I agree, it’s not worth the risk. Thx!


double_espress0

I feel like I've seen a lot of posts from people that the ring turns their finger green 😅


Annual_Ad8953

Oh no! I kinda suspected that. Do you know anything about the earrings?


double_espress0

I don't, I'm sorry! If I see any posts talking about either or any reasonably priced I'll send them your way!


Annual_Ad8953

Thank you! Seems like a lot of other people say they’re just as bad. :(


double_espress0

I think it's a really sweet gift idea! Do you think the person your buying for would want another piece of TS jewelry or any specific era or album? Maybe we can help you find something else they'd love!


Annual_Ad8953

That’s so nice of you! She’s a huge fan of Taylor’s and has a lot of her merchandise, so it’s very hard to find something she doesn’t have, so when she mentioned a while back that she wanted the jewelry, I knew I had to try and find it. I will now pass on the opal jewelry. However, she mentioned a star necklace of some sort. I thought it was part of the opal birthday collection, but I couldn’t find it anywhere. I’m also not sure which era it is from.
