A Review and a Good Idea
This was the first time I ordered from At Perry's and I have to say that I'm delighted with my new jewelry. I purchased the 5-stone ring with a large central mystic topaz and 4 smaller amethysts. The colors are stunning - the purple amethysts really complement the greens and purples of the mystic topaz, which is my new favorite gemstone. Some people have said they waited a long time for their orders to arrive and I know that the pandemic has slowed shipping down, but I don't think it took all that long for my ring to come. It was about average for overseas shipping. I've been looking at other items on the website and I'm sure I'll be placing another order. I have only one complaint and I think it's valid. There are many beautiful pendants for sale, but they all come with chains that are made from a cheap alloy containing copper. That's the kind of substandard metal that leaves greenish or gray marks on the skin of the wearer. Such gorgeous pendants deserve to be worn on attractive sterling silver chains. Sterling chains are inexpensive, only a few dollars each when purchased wholesale. I believe this would be a great opportunity to please your customers. Sterling silver chains are so much more attractive, wouldn't lose their finish and would not get thrown out and replaced, which is a real pain. (I solved the problem by keeping sterling silver chains in all lengths and simply switching pendants, but some people like to keep their pendants on the original chains or they don't have a collection of extra chains.) I hope you will change your policy. It's better to deliver a beautiful, high-quality product in the first place than to cut corners and save a little money on manufacturing the necklaces. People aren't going to be happy when the chains for their black onyx pendants first leave dirty marks on their necks, then turn dull and ugly and ultimately must be thrown into the trashcan and replaced. Your prices are reasonable, though a little more than I'd usually pay for jewelry without certificates of authenticity for the stones. In lieu of those certificates, your customers at the very least deserve more than cheap, ugly chains for their beautiful pendants.
