“A goal is just a dream with a deadline.”
There was never a moment that Emilie Shapiro didn't consider herself an artist. "Before I could speak," she says, "I expressed myself through what I made with my hands." While getting her degree in metalsmithing at Syracuse University, she spent a summer at Alchimia Contemporary Jewelry School in Florence, Italy. "I have a massive stone collection that I started when I was two," and to spark inspiration, she says, "I usually pull out my drawers of gems and minerals and something catches my eye."

Most of the stones appear white
I purchased a necklace with 6 birthstones (July, September, November, April, May, and October). I like the look of the necklace. Unfortunately, 3 of the stones appear to be white. The citrine for November is definitely not the correct color. The October stone looks funny too.

Sweetest necklace
My daughter bought this for me as a birthday gift representing all my grandbabies and I just adore it so much. Sweet and beautiful. I especially like the stickers on the back telling me what stones and properties they are.

Should have read reviews
I've never really paid attention to reviews because everything has been awesome with Uncommon Goods before. Severely disappointed in this necklace. Same as everyone else has said, the stones and necklace quality are not what are pictured. The stones are so small they are impossible to see, colors of stones are weird, the stones are badly placed and there is burn marks on the top necklace where they were attached and the necklace piece itself is an uneven strip. One stone is way off set of the others making it very off balance. I get they are handmade and individual but I've bought a lot of homemade and individual in the past, my house is full of art and 90% of the jewelry I own is handmade, and I've never felt so disappointed. It was a gift for my Mom with her kids and grandkids stones but honestly I'm probably not even going to give it to her. Shame on me, I'll be a lot more careful with Uncommon Goods purchases in the future and make sure to read reviews!

Gemstone color not accurate
Please note before you buy that the gemstones aren't as accurate as you would think. I asked for a ruby and it was purplish pink and not red. An emerald was a blue green color not a normal emerald green. I bought this for a Christmas present for my mother but will not be able to give it to her. This is only getting two stars because I did receive it timely. Glad I have more time to buy another present
Response from merchant
We appreciate your feedback and are very so sorry to hear that you won't be able to gift it! The maker has confirmed that the ruby and emerald both come in varying shades.

Obsessed!!
My husband gave me this necklace to represent our 4 kiddos and I'm obsessed!! So special and unique. I love how the stones nestle together and the chain is delicate and sturdy.

So disappointed !
Basically, I think this necklace is terribly unattractive. In the photos, all of the raw birthstones (except for ONE stone, on only ONE necklace), are secured with a piece the same metal/color as the chain. All of mine are secured with a black piece. making it, in my opinion very visually unpleasing (well, I'll say it, ugly). More importantly, nothing like the photos had promised.
Response from merchant

Poor poor wuality
I received this as a gift and have to say it is poor quality. It looks like the gems were hot glued onto the bar. The gems are cheap and look like they were from the dollar store. Do not buy this as a gift.

This was a big hit with the wife...
Definitely a unique piece. It was assembled the same day I ordered it, and shipped the very next day. With Christmas creeping up on the calendar I was a little worried about purchasing a custom piece of jewelry, but like I noted above it was on its way to me in the blink of an eye. It looks stunning, and my wife has been wearing it almost every day since she unwrapped it.

Serendipity
I fell in love with the idea of raw birthstones I'm not a shiny glittery sort of person so this suited me as a reminder. I bought it for myself and before it was delivered my husband of 25 years died. His birthstone is on the necklace along with my four children and mine, so it's a beautiful reminder of my family and it helps. I have purchased many things from uncommon goods. I am always happy with the quality, the quirkiness, and mostly the price. thank you for having so many wonderful things My wallet doesn't thank you but I do.
