Do not fall for this scam!!!
SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TIME! I purchased three of the hummingbird necklaces, and they came with a bonus of three sets of hummingbird earrings. I chose these for my daughters. You see we recently lost my mother, who was very fond of hummingbirds and I thought this would be a great way to keep her memory alive for my daughters. The items that I purchased, based on the website were not at all like what I received. On the website, they look like they were hand crafted, similar to a stained glass window with the leaded filament holding the glass pieces together. What I received looked like the "Shrinky-dinks" that my daughters used to make by melting the plastic pieces in the oven when they were five. It looked like (it is) a molded piece of clear plastic. Yes, it is a piece of plastic that is a hummingbird, and that is where the similarity ends. I reached out to "Carla" and asked how I might return these because they are not at all like how they are represented on the website. On the website they look like a bespoke piece of jewelry, and I received a cheap piece of plastic with a hook molded into it. Further I was disappointed because the photos give the appearance of a handmade product, and this is none of that. The price I paid could was the appropriate price for a handmade product. I was hesitant to make the order in the first place, because the pieces were rather expensive, but I finally did because the website says, "Easy returns, no questions asked". After two weeks of waiting I heard back from "Carla". She said she could not accept a return because she wants to close her store. I told her the website says, "Easy returns no questions asked". She said it did say that but she would not accept my return. Instead she could offer me 20% off another purchase. I was very upset as I tried to get my daughters something to remember their grandmother with and all I got was this bag of cheap molded plastic. In addition I ordered these items in early October and did not receive them till just before Thanksgiving. The shipping updates indicated that the pieces had to go through customs (i.e. probably made in China). While waiting for "Carla" to first respond, I found the same pieces of plastic on several other websites. Not similar looking, I found these same pieces, with some of the exact same pictures. So clearly these are not handmade. I went back to Carla's web page, nowhere does it say the word "Handmade", but it uses that kind of language and it does show a picture of some tools that a jewler would use. This is VERY MISLEADING! After.several more attempts to reach "Carla", I did not hear back from her. So I am stuck with this collection of very cheap molded plastic garbage that I would not give to anyone. She said she is closing the store. It is my feeling that these "Stores" come and go and all seem to have these long, drawn-out "Going out of business" sales, and when they are done they take that same merchandise and sell it as new on another website. Soon that website will have the same sale. I am disappointed with the quality of the product. What I received is nothing like what is pictured. It says, "No questions asked" returns. That was not truthful. It indicates a hand-made, sort of bespoke type of product, it IS a cheap product that had to be imported, because it was molded in a factory. Please do not waste your money on this garbage! Do not make the same mistake I did.
