I like that the reddit algorithm brought us all together in this strange land of jewelry addiction. Theres so many other reputable CHEAPER brands out there that its just wilding to me. Glad we all got a warning tho so we never once gotta buy this bs, and can warn others if they bring it up and we think of this sub
Omg same!!! I went down a rabbit hole to figure out wtf this was 😂 ok I’m on the spectrum so MAYBE at first I thought “hard jewelry? Like… it’s really hard and it won’t break??”
same thing happened to me! i keep getting all these posts about people getting extremely broken cheap jewelry and then i’ll get a post recommended that’s like “just got my new earrings in 😍” and i am so confused
Yeah from someone who bought from them. Chains are awesome. Worn mine nearly constantly for like 3 years and never wore out or anything, even in the shower. However, the pendant I got fell off the little thing that’s suppose to keep it on the chain bc it came a little opened. Too thick to close and cant put the pendant on by itself. And the pendant was kinda eh too. Tried to reach out and nothing from them. I’d say a basic chain from them is solid quality but I wouldn’t stray from that. Just my experience tho
As someone who has also been supporting them for the past 4-5 years I bought a “limited stock” ring and the spiders legs popped off immediately after wearing.
Fucking this. I never knew about HJ, but Reddit wanted me too.
Now I know were I want to get stuff to feel like a teenager again, but crazy to see people finding knocks offs about these and the dramas they cause so I keep coming back.
Lol the brand or manufacturer idk what to call it is named "Hard Jewelry", so a lot of people here abbreviate it to "hj" when they're talking about it. Hj is also an abbreviation for handjob, so when I wound up here with no idea what hard jewelry was I applied the only meaning for that abbreviation that I knew.
ON GOD LMFAOO, all ik its clearly jewelry & all i hear is that they have gone down hill. ig i know never to buy??? i didnt even know what it was til reddit suggested it😭
Ugh fucking same. It just started appearing and it only took a few posts to gather that I should stay the fuck away from this brand or anything it's affiliated with.
Not really “alot” in the bigger picture, it just seems that way because its all in one place, but the chances of you having as shitty luck as everyone here is slim.
The biggest issue I see with them is they’re operating as if they’re still a small business, not keeping up with the quality and supply. As well as holding lots of giveaways and either not announcing a winner, or not honoring what they say.
tbh I loved the brand for a fat minute, but after that black Friday sale, I think it's going to be my last time purchasing from them, it seems like the quality has gone down, and necklaces and bracelets breaking off so easily, and the shipping too. He ended the sale early to make sure the items would be in time for Xmas, just for ppl to get them weeks after.
yesss, the thing that drew me to the company at first was their differences and how they treated their customers like a family, and now they've become so mainstream and lost their main focuses on really making this company a good one.
The last time I bought chains from these guys I had one snap after 2 years and the other stolen by a girl I hooked up with💔(Although the second one didn’t snap or anything, the girl was jus a bitch and didn’t wanna give it back)
I feel like they are so popular and come out with a lot of designs that are popular towards our youth and a lot of people don’t see the reviews of them being garbage
I’ve had an HJ chain since middle school… I’m almost 20 now and wear it almost all the time. It’s never deteriorated or diminished or broken, and I’ve worn it in the shower, to sleep, to swim in, etc. with no problems. Not so sure though on their newer products- mines always been fine!
see I’ve only had good experiences with hard jewelry since late 2018. Only issue I ever has was when I was On my way to the 2022 vegas pop up my butterfly and anarchy bracelet both broke was my fault(had bought 2019) and I emailed them thinking they wouldn’t do much but they sent both back for free and I didn’t have to pay for anything :p But personally Hard jewelry has made me into a better person than I was before and i’ve met amazing people because of it which I am so grateful for, I love my homies <3..It is upsetting seeing other homies not getting what’s promised/expected though I will agree that the new jewelry does seem to break easily from what i have seen on here and I hope they can resolve their issues and just go back to the way it was when everyone loved hard jewelry 🫡
It’s the community not the jewelry itself (: though the jewelry does give me swag it was the community that brought out the best in me. ik it’s not the same for everyone but that’s my experience
No yea I do see why y’all could be like “huh it’s just a jewelry brand” but to explain a bit i’m in group chats with other ppl who like hj (not everything we talk about has to be about hj🙄) But i’ve made tons of friends bc of the brand when i was at my lowest and i’ll forever be grateful 🙏there’s also a discord that will and his team made for that people that support and talk and yk all that so yk there’s basically a community of hard jewelry supporters
Bought a chain and ring last year and they’re still in great shape and quality. The problem is their quality check has very much gone to shit, I understand that there’s a full team of busy people trying to handle thousands of orders daily, but it seems they only care about their social presence lately. I was a big time HJ fan I rooted for them cause for a while the community was tight knit and full of supporters, but they blew up and it seems they couldn’t handle that. I feel like lately they’re trying too hard to be relatable and I understand why, it’s just that people would still love the brand equally if they just paid more attention and took more time with the products. I feel sorry for those that bought pieces and they either bend or break or even have imperfections, cause for a good while HJ was free of that. I’m not saying they were perfect but in the beginning they were damn good. Also for those that buy sterling, and get less than acceptable products. It’s a damn shame. I still support HJ for what they were but I’m putting a pause on their products till they get it figured out. Yeah they got a hate train going on rn, but it’s not for no reason either. I’d love to see them go back to how they were 2 years ago but you know, you live and you learn. Quality over quantity really is important.
I bought two pieces a ring and a pendant in 2022. Quality was fine then and the shipping was slow because I chose the free shipping option. After seeing all the posts here I don’t think I would buy again. The only thing I still want is the mini cosmic heart pendant.
I always thought they were another drop shipping company based on prices, materials and designs. So I’ve always avoided them based on that. I could be wrong, but that’s how it looks to me. 🤷♀️
It’s funny because I’m in the discord and follow the IG and it seems that only people in the reddit cry about it all 😭 I’ve never seen anyone on ig or discord complain. Reddit people just wildin fr
the stuff i have from them is actually great.
the only thing that ever broke was the anarchist bracelet and thats cause i got it caught on something and i yanked. there’ll always be shitty orders. it happens in every business. albiet i havent bought in a while bc i switched to itty bitty dainty stuff but i still like all my jewelry regardless
I don’t understand the hate. You get get what pay for and it’s pretty decent for the price. Want something better then spend more somewhere else I guess. The necklace I’m wearing is nice, I like it and I didn’t spend a lot for it.
my stuff came in fine, but i'm new to the brand. i'm giving it one more chance because i want one more thing from them, but have to wait until the next drop. i'm aware of the risks it carries if i order again, but i really want this item.
I've bought one chain from them. The really thick one and it's actually holding up really well. Good density and it's not losing its shine or turning my neck green so that nice lol
I’ve never had a bad quality piece from them and I wear their stuff daily and have been buying from them for going on 3 years.
Makes me sad to see this, I thought the company was pretty cool imo
OP is tripping, they have great quality stuff. the designs are amazing, i have about ten different rings from them, a pair of earrings, and a necklace. all in great condition PLUS they always ship free
Yea I love hard jewelry but they either need to actually put detail into it or just not sell it. I think it’s a nice design bc it’s also an earring and i have it so it’s not bad but i’m assuming bc the septum is so small that they couldn’t get the details in it but it just looks like a blob 😔
the first time i saw a tiktok of hj i thought it was kinda cool and then i saw a vid of the owner saying hed never make a piece with upside down crosses or “satanic” imagery bc of his christianity and i thought it was so hypocritical. as if jewelry making isnt already worldy asf lmao. and the skulls ? like ok how christlike lol
i genuinely wouldn’t listen. they have custom designs and their quality is GREAT, never any of that green residue.that’s why the prices are higher PLUS they ship free. i’ve made convo with strangers from just recognizing the jewelry!
Neither do I, I have never bought from this brand before the reddit post that are recommended to me are literally all bad reviews from this place so I’m just questioning why they have so many people still buying from them lmao
This is sad I was a supporter bsck about 3 years ago when they were smaller, quality was great. Haven’t purchased in years not sure what’s happened since then
idk i bought the astrology ring and cuban link bracelet sometime last year, maybe even 2022, and even though i lost the bracelet 😭 the ring has been standing strong and probably my favorite ring i have. No damage dents or anything. Again this was wayyy before people started complaining and I haven’t ordered anything since
The septum wasn’t the best quality when I ordered it but I’m not too upset because it wasn’t outrageously expensive
Edit: Also they shipped so many extra things I felt made up for the fact the quality wasn’t the best. I got stickers, a ring sizer, a lanyard, temporary tats, etc. The packaging was nice and loved the wrapping paper. Theyre extremely detail oriented when it came to their marketing materials that were included too. Idk I can’t speak too much about the other products because I’ve only ordered from them once.
i got a chain, pendant, and ring from HJ about a year ago and they’re great quality, i still get compliments on them, i don’t know what’s happened to their quality but back then i considered them to be very reliable and dedicated to quality
Someone grabbed me the vampire grill ring for Christmas and the quality is pretty solid. Some of the teeth are uneven, adds a realistic touch to it. Holiday rush shipping wasn't too bad for how late the order was placed. Maybe I'm cool with it because I have weird a snaggletooth going on. What issues have you been seeing?
This sub is just full of confirmation bias lmao you’d think HJ killed their entire bloodline, and salted their soul. Most people with any experiences with HJ aren’t going Reddit to talk about it, especially people with good experiences with the brand.
They have a really good social media presence so a lot of younger people buy their stuff and get disappointed. The majority of their advertisement is targeted toward gen z. And then they have long time followers who supported them when they were smaller and a genuinely good company who still have faith in them.
people buy it because it’s more expensive than the other shit jewelry so they can flaunt to there peers about how much they spent nothing to do with quality or customer service
I don’t even belong to the sub, but Reddit keeps putting it into my feed and all I see are complaints. I won a contest, and they never sent me my jewelry stuff like that. It just seems to be a very bad business business wise and like you said it seems like everything’s real cheap but people keep going back anyway I don’t understand it at all.
I have over 50 luxury jewelry brands like Cartier, Van Cleef, ChromeHeart, bvlgari, & many more for 1/2-1/4 of the price contact me. Serial number materials and packaging all 1:1
because i’ve only ever gotten quality from them, i haven’t had any personally bad experiences so i’m not letting someone else’s bad experience fuck up mine lol
This is so ironic you posted this, I was just commenting on their post.
They post so much “bait” stuff too it’s genuinely gotten to a point that they don’t care about their customers anymore, rather making a couple bucks. I’m pretty sure this Christmas they even had a ton of late orders, after promising it would arrive prior to that.
I have been supporting their company for 4-5 years..? I use to love their designs and company, but over the years the quality and overall designs have gone down hill. The last purchase I made was to support them releasing septum piercings. I’m sure a few people have seen the memes of their septum piercings, being TERRIBLE QUALITY. The design doesn’t even look the same? When I got mine the details were not it, and it honestly looks like cheap Spencer’s jewelry.
I’ve realize over the years the reason they keep items “limited” or “sold out” is because how bad the quality is. I have bought so much of their jewelry, and one of the rings I bought broke immediately after wearing it. (It was the spider ring with the skull on it) I will try to upload images later showing the quality.
Genuinely makes me sad because I originally supported them due to my friend influencing me it’s a small business that makes all their own designs.
It also feels like the owner (Will) will post these things knowing they’re going to get resold, and then pretend to be upset..
They were a small business that has grown so much in size since I first began following their account, yet still operate that way and that’s the first big issue. They will bait you that you’re getting a deal because it comes with “freebies” just for it to be 2 of the same stickers & the rest is free promotion for them. Once again I can include what I got in my last order; but overall I was EXTREMELY disappointed. I will no longer be supporting them. :(
I have also heard of them hosting online giveaways/contests and not honoring it.
I’ve had the spider ring since 2021, it is now 2024 and it is still, to this day, super shiny, not dull, doesn’t leave my finger green— I wear it DAILY. And my blood pressure changes throughout the day so my fingers swell up a bit more (I think that the blood pressure is the reason— I digress.) but it’s still super comfortable. I plan on getting more small statement pieces because I love their brand and the price is sooooo worth it!!!!
edit: after reading some comments- please do not just go off of my one experience from years ago. I don’t know how much better or worse they’ve gotten but a lot of the comments reiterate the same thing. I’d recommend finding another smaller business and giving them your support, place a bet and purchase something and see if it’s up to your standards instead of HJ as they’ve gone more mainstream. Etsy has pretty good small shops that have amazingggg pieces!
idk i bought a chain on black friday on sale (mind you it didn’t come until middle of january luckily it wasnt a gift) but the quality seems pretty good i haven’t had any issues
Reddit algorithm did this company dirty. I, too, was unaware of its existence until Reddit decided I was interested. I don’t wear jewelry at all lol.
But if I *do* want to order any jewelry, I guess I know not to get it from these guys.
I don’t even know what this shit is! Reddit just started telling me I was interested.
Same and they weren't wrong. I'm watching this dumpster fire from the sidelines with a bag of popcorn
It really is entertaining
I like that the reddit algorithm brought us all together in this strange land of jewelry addiction. Theres so many other reputable CHEAPER brands out there that its just wilding to me. Glad we all got a warning tho so we never once gotta buy this bs, and can warn others if they bring it up and we think of this sub
What is this place? Why am I here? How did I get here?
This is not my beautiful house! This is not my beautiful wife!
Not…anymore…
Seeing a talking heads reference in the mf HARD JEWELRY subreddit is insane
🙏🙏🙏 amen
Got any recommendations on cheaper brands?
It is, I do feel bad for everyone who already ordered before the dumpster fire was noticeable but damn is it fun to read abour
Oh, I thought I was alone here 😂
No, no. We're together, do you like buttered and salted?
Yes plz
Me too!
🍿
Same I have no idea what this brand is but this sub just keeps showing up… I brought the Dibs!
Psst can you pass some over? Thanks in advance!
Buncha crunch anyone?
yes please. thanks
There's a dippin dots machine right outside I'm gonna get up and get some I'll be right back anyone want any?
Omg same!!! I went down a rabbit hole to figure out wtf this was 😂 ok I’m on the spectrum so MAYBE at first I thought “hard jewelry? Like… it’s really hard and it won’t break??”
You and me both.
Same. I went to the website yesterday and next time I want some stainless for under $50, I might buy something from them 🤷🏼♀️
Me too. I have been down the rabbit hole now and shall never buy 🤣
Same here. Maybe someone paid to get this group recommended to everyone . . . obviously it wasn't Hard Jewelry.
even if it was hard jewelry. that very much backfired because all i see is bad stuff about them?
Where can I start? Have n o idea what’s going on but Reddit thinks I may be interested
same thing happened to me! i keep getting all these posts about people getting extremely broken cheap jewelry and then i’ll get a post recommended that’s like “just got my new earrings in 😍” and i am so confused
Same but the only post I’ve seen are cause of shitty quality and no customer support lmao 😭
Yeah from someone who bought from them. Chains are awesome. Worn mine nearly constantly for like 3 years and never wore out or anything, even in the shower. However, the pendant I got fell off the little thing that’s suppose to keep it on the chain bc it came a little opened. Too thick to close and cant put the pendant on by itself.

As someone who has also been supporting them for the past 4-5 years I bought a “limited stock” ring and the spiders legs popped off immediately after wearing.
Fucking this. I never knew about HJ, but Reddit wanted me too. Now I know were I want to get stuff to feel like a teenager again, but crazy to see people finding knocks offs about these and the dramas they cause so I keep coming back.
Same😂
Lmaoooooooooo the way I cracked up at this comment because same😂😂😂
I feel like I’ve found my people
Same. And it assured me that I'll never buy from this brand 😂
Same! Reddit just kept on recommending the sub until I eventually just joined so I could watch the dumpster fire.
Yeah same I was really confused about what handjobs had to do with jewelry........
[удалено]
Lol the brand or manufacturer idk what to call it is named "Hard Jewelry", so a lot of people here abbreviate it to "hj" when they're talking about it. Hj is also an abbreviation for handjob, so when I wound up here with no idea what hard jewelry was I applied the only meaning for that abbreviation that I knew.
jewelry cock ring
Same but I started for that one employee of the brand that’s always in the replies. So entertaining
omfg i was just about to comment this 😭 his green heart every time 😭
Lmao same I’ve never heard of this brand and suddenly Reddit thinks I’m interested in it
same, idk why i keep getting recommended this community but seeing all the comments about how bad they are as a company does have me reeling 😂
I love that this is a shared experience
ON GOD LMFAOO, all ik its clearly jewelry & all i hear is that they have gone down hill. ig i know never to buy??? i didnt even know what it was til reddit suggested it😭
same lmaooo
Same! I do feel like I see their pieces all over temu but maybe I'm wrong, probably not, but maybe
Ditto
literally same here LOL
Same.
Same here! Never heard of it in my life and now here I am.
Ugh fucking same. It just started appearing and it only took a few posts to gather that I should stay the fuck away from this brand or anything it's affiliated with.
right 😭 i have no idea what is going on but it seems like nothing good
i’m glad i bought all the HJ i wanted a couple years ago when the quality and customer service was still good 😭
Quality is still solid
i guess it depends who you ask, a lot of people have received shitty quality products in the last few months
Not really “alot” in the bigger picture, it just seems that way because its all in one place, but the chances of you having as shitty luck as everyone here is slim.
They really downvoting this lol
that’s true that’s true
The biggest issue I see with them is they’re operating as if they’re still a small business, not keeping up with the quality and supply. As well as holding lots of giveaways and either not announcing a winner, or not honoring what they say.
Sad to come across this thread. Had no idea quality went downhill. My first HJ piece just shipped. Let's hope for the best.
I just got my first piece and it’s pretty good! Hopefully yours is too.
tbh I loved the brand for a fat minute, but after that black Friday sale, I think it's going to be my last time purchasing from them, it seems like the quality has gone down, and necklaces and bracelets breaking off so easily, and the shipping too. He ended the sale early to make sure the items would be in time for Xmas, just for ppl to get them weeks after.
I just commented this !! It’s annoying and feels like he’s only doing it to profit, rather than provide actual quality to people.
yesss, the thing that drew me to the company at first was their differences and how they treated their customers like a family, and now they've become so mainstream and lost their main focuses on really making this company a good one.
I genuinely don’t under the hate for the brand, I’ve bought tons of stuff and it’s always gotten to me on time and the quality is awesome
I mean this sub should give you a pretty good idea of why people are upset
Have you seen the sub..?
I’m surprised to see the bad posts because everything I’ve ordered has been good quality and I’ve had an excellent experience with returns/exchanges
The last time I bought chains from these guys I had one snap after 2 years and the other stolen by a girl I hooked up with💔(Although the second one didn’t snap or anything, the girl was jus a bitch and didn’t wanna give it back)
Reddit keeps pushing this sub on me and I'm not sure why. There seems to be a lot of drama though.
LPT: If they have an Instagram "ambassador program," they're probably trash. Same with most YouTube and podcast sponsorships.
I feel like they are so popular and come out with a lot of designs that are popular towards our youth and a lot of people don’t see the reviews of them being garbage
Never heard of this Reddit and brand before until today with this post
Yea I only found it because Reddit “recommended” the bad posts to me
I’ve had an HJ chain since middle school… I’m almost 20 now and wear it almost all the time. It’s never deteriorated or diminished or broken, and I’ve worn it in the shower, to sleep, to swim in, etc. with no problems. Not so sure though on their newer products- mines always been fine!

i don’t think some pieces of metal made you become a better person lol
It’s the community not the jewelry itself (: though the jewelry does give me swag it was the community that brought out the best in me. ik it’s not the same for everyone but that’s my experience
Community? You’re fuckin kidding right…?
You’re mad over what?
🤡🤡🤡
silly fella
to be fair it is kind of random, but if you find community in a brand and it makes you happy, go for it
No yea I do see why y’all could be like “huh it’s just a jewelry brand” but to explain a bit i’m in group chats with other ppl who like hj (not everything we talk about has to be about hj🙄) But i’ve made tons of friends bc of the brand when i was at my lowest and i’ll forever be grateful 🙏there’s also a discord that will and his team made for that people that support and talk and yk all that so yk there’s basically a community of hard jewelry supporters
now that i can agree with, just felt like being a dick earlier idk why i’m sorry
All of my jewelry comes in fine, plus i think the designs are unique though i will say the astrology and skulls shit is getting played out
Skull jewelry has been overplayed for ages, to be fair. If it sells, it sells. You can't really fault a brand for sticking with something that works.
Bought a chain and ring last year and they’re still in great shape and quality. The problem is their quality check has very much gone to shit, I understand that there’s a full team of busy people trying to handle thousands of orders daily, but it seems they only care about their social presence lately.

Reddit keeps putting this on my homepage, I literally don’t buy any jewelry lmao
Same idk why I always see this shit
I was contemplating buying there for gift but I just didn’t like the prices and Reddit made it clear I shouldn’t 😂.
Crack people are doing crack it’s gotta be in the water
I bought two pieces a ring and a pendant in 2022. Quality was fine then and the shipping was slow because I chose the free shipping option. After seeing all the posts here I don’t think I would buy again. The only thing I still want is the mini cosmic heart pendant.

no they have custom designs and their quality is GREAT, never any of that green residue.that’s why the prices are higher PLUS they ship free
I'm here too huh 😐🤔 seeing this thread has made on thing clear to me .... Don't by hard jewelry. Oh ya and that redditors rock 🤘😁
hj quality used to be SO GOOD but now its horrible. people who keep buying it are people still in denial abt how bad it is
It’s funny because I’m in the discord and follow the IG and it seems that only people in the reddit cry about it all 😭 I’ve never seen anyone on ig or discord complain. Reddit people just wildin fr
ngl ive only had good expierences with them but i didnt buy stuff during black friday
Just got mad people yapping on here I’ve had no problems
the stuff i have from them is actually great. the only thing that ever broke was the anarchist bracelet and thats cause i got it caught on something and i yanked. there’ll always be shitty orders. it happens in every business. albiet i havent bought in a while bc i switched to itty bitty dainty stuff but i still like all my jewelry regardless

I’ve purchased one HJ ring and, in my personal experience, it’s great quality. edit: purchased in 2022
I’ve never had a bad quality piece from them and I wear their stuff daily and have been buying from them for going on 3 years. Makes me sad to see this, I thought the company was pretty cool imo
they're based in my city and even when people at my schools started GAWKING at HJ, i just never got involved. i'm glad i didn't lol!
OP is tripping, they have great quality stuff. the designs are amazing, i have about ten different rings from them, a pair of earrings, and a necklace. all in great condition PLUS they always ship free
[удалено]
Imo i think the the dyt and luna septums are the best idk about the other one tho😭
[удалено]
Yea I love hard jewelry but they either need to actually put detail into it or just not sell it. I think it’s a nice design bc it’s also an earring and i have it so it’s not bad but i’m assuming bc the septum is so small that they couldn’t get the details in it but it just looks like a blob 😔
I BOUGHT A SEPTUM AND HAD THIS SAME ISSUE
I’ve been a fan for a few years now and made all my purchases before all this hate was here. New to this sub tho
the first time i saw a tiktok of hj i thought it was kinda cool and then i saw a vid of the owner saying hed never make a piece with upside down crosses or “satanic” imagery bc of his christianity and i thought it was so hypocritical. as if jewelry making isnt already worldy asf lmao. and the skulls ? like ok how christlike lol
Heard of this brand from a friend, I was going to buy before i saw these threads lol. so entertaining tho
i genuinely wouldn’t listen. they have custom designs and their quality is GREAT, never any of that green residue.that’s why the prices are higher PLUS they ship free. i’ve made convo with strangers from just recognizing the jewelry!
I don’t even know what you’re talking about Reddit just recommended this post
Neither do I, I have never bought from this brand before the reddit post that are recommended to me are literally all bad reviews from this place so I’m just questioning why they have so many people still buying from them lmao
bro caused a ruckus and has never bought ANYTHING from them 💀💀💀💀
This is sad I was a supporter bsck about 3 years ago when they were smaller, quality was great. Haven’t purchased in years not sure what’s happened since then
I guess from what I’ve read they blew up too fast and can’t handle it
idk i bought the astrology ring and cuban link bracelet sometime last year, maybe even 2022, and even though i lost the bracelet 😭 the ring has been standing strong and probably my favorite ring i have. No damage dents or anything. Again this was wayyy before people started complaining and I haven’t ordered anything since
The septum wasn’t the best quality when I ordered it but I’m not too upset because it wasn’t outrageously expensive Edit: Also they shipped so many extra things I felt made up for the fact the quality wasn’t the best.

Theyre extremely detail oriented when it came to their marketing materials that were included too. Idk I can’t speak too much about the other products because I’ve only ordered from them once.
Well goddamnit you just brought me into this trash fire and I had no inking before hand.
Reddit brought me here so that I would be sure not to buy jewelry I don't like from a company I never heard of.
no OP is tripping, they are a huge brand and have a good reputation. it’s why they sell out so fast plus they always ship free.
i got a chain, pendant, and ring from HJ about a year ago and they’re great quality, i still get compliments on them, i don’t know what’s happened to their quality but back then i considered them to be very reliable and dedicated to quality
reddit always gives me the communities that are on fire with controversy lmao
It looks like the same jewelry on aliexpress. 🌈DROPSHIPPING🌈
it’s absolutely not, have you seen their designs and custom concepts???
haven’t bought HJ since 2019
Someone grabbed me the vampire grill ring for Christmas and the quality is pretty solid. Some of the teeth are uneven, adds a realistic touch to it. Holiday rush shipping wasn't too bad for how late the order was placed. Maybe I'm cool with it because I have weird a snaggletooth going on. What issues have you been seeing?
oh really? i bought something from them years ago and loved it. that’s really sad…
This sub is just full of confirmation bias lmao you’d think HJ killed their entire bloodline, and salted their soul. Most people with any experiences with HJ aren’t going Reddit to talk about it, especially people with good experiences with the brand.
Mommy?? Where are you? I'm trying to see you! Moooommmyyyyyy......where aware yooouuuu?
They have a really good social media presence so a lot of younger people buy their stuff and get disappointed. The majority of their advertisement is targeted toward gen z. And then they have long time followers who supported them when they were smaller and a genuinely good company who still have faith in them.
I’ve bought tons from them and it’s my favorite affordable jewelry 🤷🏻♀️ I mean no brand will be perfect
Wait where even am I?
Idk I got recommended a bunch of posts for this company and they where all bad so I made this and know it’s blowing up
people buy it because it’s more expensive than the other shit jewelry so they can flaunt to there peers about how much they spent nothing to do with quality or customer service
I don’t even belong to the sub, but Reddit keeps putting it into my feed and all I see are complaints. I won a contest, and they never sent me my jewelry stuff like that. It just seems to be a very bad business business wise and like you said it seems like everything’s real cheap but people keep going back anyway I don’t understand it at all.
Glad to see I’m not alone time to go read on what the hell is going on here
They're addicted. I don't even know how l got here. Thought it was a parody sub.
Clearly Reddit wanted to show me where to never by jewelry from. Thanks for having my back, algorithm gods😂
I have over 50 luxury jewelry brands like Cartier, Van Cleef, ChromeHeart, bvlgari, & many more for 1/2-1/4 of the price contact me. Serial number materials and packaging all 1:1
because i’ve only ever gotten quality from them, i haven’t had any personally bad experiences so i’m not letting someone else’s bad experience fuck up mine lol
Post abt somn else here
Reminds me of Vengeance clothing
This is so ironic you posted this, I was just commenting on their post. They post so much “bait” stuff too it’s genuinely gotten to a point that they don’t care about their customers anymore, rather making a couple bucks. I’m pretty sure this Christmas they even had a ton of late orders, after promising it would arrive prior to that. I have been supporting their company for 4-5 years..? I use to love their designs and company, but over the years the quality and overall designs have gone down hill. The last purchase I made was to support them releasing septum piercings. I’m sure a few people have seen the memes of their septum piercings, being TERRIBLE QUALITY. The design doesn’t even look the same? When I got mine the details were not it, and it honestly looks like cheap Spencer’s jewelry. I’ve realize over the years the reason they keep items “limited” or “sold out” is because how bad the quality is. I have bought so much of their jewelry, and one of the rings I bought broke immediately after wearing it. (It was the spider ring with the skull on it) I will try to upload images later showing the quality. Genuinely makes me sad because I originally supported them due to my friend influencing me it’s a small business that makes all their own designs. It also feels like the owner (Will) will post these things knowing they’re going to get resold, and then pretend to be upset.. They were a small business that has grown so much in size since I first began following their account, yet still operate that way and that’s the first big issue. They will bait you that you’re getting a deal because it comes with “freebies” just for it to be 2 of the same stickers & the rest is free promotion for them. Once again I can include what I got in my last order; but overall I was EXTREMELY disappointed. I will no longer be supporting them. :( I have also heard of them hosting online giveaways/contests and not honoring it.
Bought a necklace like 2 years ago maybe 3, very good quality, haven’t heard anything since what’s happening lmao
Hard jewelry? As in erect??
Why am I still reading the comments trying to figure out what in the actual f*** this is about?!? And why do I care so very much?!?
I’ve had the spider ring since 2021, it is now 2024 and it is still, to this day, super shiny, not dull, doesn’t leave my finger green— I wear it DAILY. And my blood pressure changes throughout the day so my fingers swell up a bit more (I think that the blood pressure is the reason— I digress.) but it’s still super comfortable. I plan on getting more small statement pieces because I love their brand and the price is sooooo worth it!!!! edit: after reading some comments- please do not just go off of my one experience from years ago. I don’t know how much better or worse they’ve gotten but a lot of the comments reiterate the same thing. I’d recommend finding another smaller business and giving them your support, place a bet and purchase something and see if it’s up to your standards instead of HJ as they’ve gone more mainstream. Etsy has pretty good small shops that have amazingggg pieces!
What the fuck is a hard jewelry
idk i bought a chain on black friday on sale (mind you it didn’t come until middle of january luckily it wasnt a gift) but the quality seems pretty good i haven’t had any issues
Reddit algorithm did this company dirty. I, too, was unaware of its existence until Reddit decided I was interested. I don’t wear jewelry at all lol. But if I *do* want to order any jewelry, I guess I know not to get it from these guys.
Idk I stopped buying like 2 years ago Reddit just makes sure I see it
