And the not so good.
Today I received several things. (This is just today. I have gotten several items the last few days)
First was a large-ish box. Inside the box was a nicely wrapped handbag, another sealed box and a ring. There was a lot of the large bubble inserts inside the box.
The handbag (as I said) was nicely wrapped. I unwrapped it and it is far far nicer than expected. It is faux leather but quite nice. This is a bag my daughter asked me to order for her. She is flying out to DE soon and wanted a bag as her “personal carry on” besides her suitcase that she could carry her iPad and essentials and also have handles and a long strap. This fit the bill. It is quite cute actually and in a pretty dark gray with a wave pattern.
So GOOD

The other box in the box is the Gemoro kit. Nicely packaged, bubble wrap inside. Everything looks nice.
So GOOD

The RING. It is a Neon Apatite ring and no, it’s not expensive BUT IT WAS Literally TOSSED into the bottom of the large box. Just alone, a little blue box all alone AND OPEN. The ring was in amongst the bubble wrap. Yeah, in a plastic baggie but not in the box. It should have been wrapped separately at the very least!
The ring appears to be okay. I haven’t checked it yet for loose stones. This seriously upsets me.
So BAD

In another package I received another nicely wrapped handbag. A Chaos crossbody. This one is ADORABLE! Sooooo cute! Ok, I am not too crazy about the canvas strap. However because the strap has swivel clips I can easily buy a new strap. In fact I may get a couple so I can change colors! This Chaos bag has a great color combination with perfect color/pattern placement!
So GOOD

Inside that package, WRAPPED SEPARATELY, as it should be was a Grandidierite ring. Ring is in good condition as far as packaging goes. Here is the thing...I love the style and I knowwww that stone has inclusions. But, this one has a white stripe across the stone and I just don’t think I can deal with that. None of my other Grandidierites have a white stripe. And of course, the ring is out of stock.
So, not so good. Disappointing.

In a separate package I received a Sukriti bag. This, for me, would be a personal carry on as it is on the large side. I could not resist it though because of the design. Blue peacock. And it is stunning. Perfectly packaged.
So GOOD.

I am seeing a pattern. The non-jewelry items seem to be packaged with more care. And the inspection process (??) is better.
And yes, I know this is in the CS section.
I have also not heard one word about three price adjustments I requested days (a week??) ago.
Seems awfully quiet here.
I am expecting another Chaos bag (travel size), a robe for daughter, a couple of pendant necklaces, a yellow gold/tanzanite band ring.
Not all have been shipped.
Fingers crossed.
So not all bad. Not all good either.
