I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU THE JEWELRY SCAMS I HAVE FOUND IN E-BAY FOR FINE JEWELRY & GEMSTONES.

MY MOTTO:  IF THE PRICE SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, THEN IT PROBABLY IS!

THE FINE JEWELRY AND GEMSTONE JEWELRY SOLD FROM CHINA, HONG  KONG, THAILAND AND "SOMEWHERE IN ASIA" IS A SCAM!!!  I PERSONALLY BOUGHT A BLACK TAHITIAN PEARL RING AND A PINK PEARL RING FROM TWO DIFFERENT SOURCES IN HONG KONG.  THEY LOOKED BEAUTIFUL IN PICTURE, BUT WHEN I RECEIVED THESE RINGS, I DIDN'T KNOW WHETHER TO LAUGH OR CRY, THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY HIDIOUS!!!  THEY ACTUALLY LOOKED LIKE  GUMBALL MACHINE RINGS!  WHERE THEY HAD ME, WAS THE SHIPPING.  IT WOULD HAVE COST ME MORE THAN WHAT I HAD IN THE RING TO SHIP IT BACK IN ORDER TO GET A REFUND!!!    THEY ADVERTISE THEIR JEWELRY AS BEING 10KT & 14K SOLID GOLD, BUT THEY ARE DEFINATELY PLATED, NOT EVEN STERLING SILVER.  I E-MAILED THESE E-BAY SELLERS AND WAS TOLD, NOT ONLY WERE THE RINGS I BOUGHT 14KT GOLD BUT THEY HAD REAL DIAMONDS!  WHAT A LAUGH!

WHEN BUYING GOLD JEWELRY AND GEMSTONES, YOU MAY HAVE TO PAY MORE THAN .99!  THE USA E-BAYERS HAVE TO BUY QUALITY JEWELRY WHICH COSTS MORE THAN .99.  I, MYSELF, DON'T EXPECT TO MAKE A FORTUNE OFF MY POSTINGS, BUT DO HAVE TO MAKE A PROFIT IN ORDER TO KEEP MY E-BAY STORE OPEN. 

THIS IS WHY AS BUYERS YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OF SCAMS FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES.  ON A POSITIVE NOTE, BUYING FROM THE UK AND AUSTRILIA HAS BEEN GREAT FOR ME.  THEIR GOLD IS NORMALLY HALLMARK 9KT GOLD WHICH IS REAL GOLD AND VERY HARD.  FOR ME, THAT'S GREAT, SINCE I'M HARD ON MY JEWELRY!!!

I HOPE THIS HAS BEEN HELPFUL, IF SO, PLEASE VOTE YES!!!
