SCROLL DOWN FOR PICTURES. I’m going to show you what Fake versus Real looks like.

I won an auction for a Tiffany bracelet. But before I even bid, I emailed the seller, asking her if this was authentic, even though in the auction details, she stated that it was.

I know there are A LOT of fakes on eBay, but with 100% feedback from 65 people, I thought they were legitimate.

I was wrong.

Anyone who’s bought/received Tiffany ’s jewelry from Tiffany’s website KNOWS what to expect in the mail. A heavy polishing cloth/carrying case, a turquoise box, and an authentic piece.

I knew IMMEDIATELY when I opened the box that I had been duped. The lime green box had Tiffany & Co. smudged on top. The polishing cloth/carrying case was hollow inside and made of some hardened material. Again, the logo was printed and smudged. To make it worse, the bracelet didn’t even say Tiffany & Co.

I contacted the seller, and she denied it was a fake. Owning several rings and bracelets, I know what Tiffany jewelry is supposed to look like. She refused a refund, and I was out $80.00!!!

Apparently this seller bought a fake box (lime green!)and cleaning cloth/carrying case off of eBay - and was passing off a fake bracelet as authentic.

I contacted PayPal - they asked that I return the package to her so that my refund was processed. I did exactly that, and added delivery confirmation to “cover myself”. She then tells PayPal the package was empty, and no ring was shipped back. I contacted eBay, and thought they would cancel the auction, absolving me from responsibility. I was wrong again. I had already paid and received the bracelet so I was basically stuck with a fake bracelet and nothing else.

I was out $80.00 PLUS $4.00 to ship the item back. The seller received the bracelet & my money.

Be sure to read all of the fine print of a auction. She stated at the bottom of the auction that the buyer had to pay for shipping it back!! I buy something I think is authentic, and when I find out it’s not, I’m out the return shipping charges!!!

As Buyer, you must protect yourself.

While there are some people selling their Tiffany & Co. jewelry, be careful. You could end up with a fake peice like I did, and have to pay to ship it back, and STILL not get refunded.

I’m going to show you what real Tiffany & Co. looks like versus a fake. If this is helpful to you, please mark “yes”.

First box is real - second box is fake

Close-up of fake. Notice the string & how large the logo is.

Real. See how the string & logo are smaller?

Real. Inside the polishing cloth/carrying case. It’s made like this so you can leave your jewelry inside to polish.

Fake.

Hope this helps you. Ask the seller to send you a picture of the inside of the polishing cloth-you’ll know immediately!
