Comparisons: Apples to prunes
How do they get away with the comparisons they show? Right now they are showing a 925 rough granditierite bracelet. What comparison do they show? A white gold and diamond granditierite necklace with faceted green stones in the tens of thousands of dollars! Come on! Thats not even close to being a legitimate comparison. Sometimes I wonder how they look at themselves in the mirror.

Or when they make a comparison of a ring that has, say, 10-12 small round chrome diopside stones (maybe 4mm each) to a ring that has a single LARGE stone of the same total ctw. Well, DUH, of course the large solitaire is going to be much higher in price!! (They actually did that this morning ... or maybe it was last night? This ole brain loses track of time so easily, LOL.)
Do ya think maybe they're all still in kindergarten and haven't yet passed Logic101? A 10-year-old has more logic. Sheesh.
