I have had several Brighton Pieces which I have been disappointed in. The goldtone Rubs off and then it looks horrible. Yes they have a guarantee but you send your jewelry piece in to get fixed and 2 months later if you are lucky enough you get it back for the entire process to start over it rubs off and have to send it back or just plain dont wear it.

Some of the items on Ebay with the names such as Brighton Beach and Brighton Bay may very well be legitimate brands. But they are not counterfeit nor does it seem they are stating they are Brighton or trying to pass anything off as Brighton. People need to read entire ads before placing a bid on anything.

People who can not afford the Brighton Name would prefer the same look as well. Affordable Yes. So if people are soo bent on buying name brand items to make themselves appear better than other people well go ahead and spend your money. I prefer the less expensive which is still good quality and certainly have much broader designs to choose from.

Does this mean you are a nobody because you are not wearing Abercrombie & Fitch, or Tommy Hilfiger, NO you are just more sensible.
