Ring Advertised as STERLING is Base Metal
Bought a ring advertised as a STERLING SILVER “Antique Golden Emerald Cut Wedding Band” w/ gold wash for approx. $100. Received it and the stones look nothing like the site’s photo, but more to the point, it is NOT sterling. Within a month not only did the gold wash wear off, but so did the “silver,” revealing a coppery base metal. I submitted a review on the Nextnecklace site, but - whaddyaknow! - it wasn’t posted; they can simply reject reviews they don’t like. Oh, I’m sure they’ve managed to cover their backs with some fancy, lawyer-approved word work: in my case I’m guessing there is a thin layer of sterling silver on the ring, so they can legally say those words. What is OMITTED, however, is where the deception occurs. An upstanding company would state: “Sterling over copper” (or whatever the base metal is), but we all know they couldn’t charge the same $$. How the company gets away with all this is disgusting. And yes… I know I sound positively Pollyanna-ish… how SILLY of me to think a company should be honest about its products!
