Brighton Bay is not a company, but a group of designers that sell wholesale to high end boutiques and other home based businesses.  It is sad that some people feel a need to tarnish the Brighton Bay name, just because it has Brighton in it.  Some people are even willing to lie, just to drive sales to their links....This jewelry is quality jewelry and should be held  in a high regard.  I have found some of Brighton's high priced pieces to fade especially the gold.... it comes off in time.  Why pay such high prices, just for a name when you can get a similliar style for so much cheaper.  People who buy on Ebay and think that Brighton Bay is Brighton, are foolish and definately do not read the auction descriptions.  Most sellers alway state in their description that their product is Not Brighton.  It is also sad that some ladies feel a need to create a guide with the title Brighton Bay! Fake Jewelry, just so she can drive sales to her links listed on her guide.  Sounds like she also had a problem with another seller by the name of  Diane. Such a shame for all of us customers who just want some nice fashion jewelry :(
