      Rightttt. It’s so weird. I also shipped some high quality earrings from the UK to Uganda which cost quite a sum. The seller claimed they were the best for sensitive people but the things itched like nothing and my ears got swollen every time I wore them. Yet AliExpress earrings do not even pretend to itch. I’m honestly hooked.

      I buy mine from there, specifically stainless steel stuff. It's some of the only jewelry I can wear. I currently have on a stainless steel wrist cuff that I've worn for about 3 years without taking off, and zero reaction. It's solid stainless steel, really good quality, and only cost me about $10 including shipping.

    Goldsmith here, the instructions on that testing solutions are as follows 90-100% silver turns a creamy color; 77-90% silver shows a gray color; 65-76% silver shows a light green. Meaning I'm confused what the heck of metal you used that the solution is NOT reacting with your silver. It should react since it is a solutions to test for silver. MEANING it should be able to show you what it is.

      The puddle of liquid solution was much larger and mostly grey with little flecks of a darker color by the end, so I'm guessing that the Santorini _did_ have an effect? Unless it wasn't silver at all? So either she lied, or she lied? 🤷🏽‍♀️ idk
      EDIT: she doesn't really hit the Santorini with the solution; maybe _one_ drop hits it, at most. Either way, you bring up an excellent point 🤔

      In the video you can see that she uses nitric acid (HNO3) to test the rings. This is mostly unreactive with silver, unless the acid is heated and at a high concentration. To test these rings, ideally, she would have scratched both ring's 'silver'; the cheaper ring if made of a cheaper more reactive metal (in this case it looks like copper at the end, and the solution did turn blue, which looks like copper nitrate (CuNO3)), then this metal would have reacted with the solution and eventually 'dissolve', or erode away, leaving no scratch. As true silver is unreactive, the scratch would remain.

    As a sterling girl, I find there’s a time and place for both costume jewellery and real jewellery. I prefer plain everyday pieces (like my plain band rings, and rings with small stones that could suit most outfits and my plain sterling chain necklace) to be sterling because they make anything you wear look more put together.
    But huge stones and intricate details are out of reach for most of the population so most of my statement jewellery is costume jewellery.
    You can enjoy jewellery without going bankrupt for it.

      The gorgeous “comparison”piece may have been given to her by a boyfriend in which case she didn’t “go bankrupt” purchasing it. Also the price per ounce of silver is $16.87 whereas gold is $1904 per ounce. So hardly bankrupt. She could have purchased it herself, searched out a reputable dealer for loose diamonds and had a ring made. You can also get a “lab made” diamond for $389/.51 carat radiant cut stone. And of course there’s always a cubic zirconia. So again, not necessarily breaking the bank but that depends on your definition. What one person might consider breaking the bank is a tolerable amount to someone else!

    Having a metal allergy taught me to read closely. A lot of jewelry that claims to be real silver, but then they’ll state in the fine print that it’s silver _plated_ . They can get away with saying real silver simply because they have a very thin layer of real silver on the outside, which eventually wares off and those of us with allergies will then get a bad reaction from it. 🙈

Truth is Ali makes different versions of the same jewelry for every budget. You can buy real silver and real gemstones, but they are going to be more expensive $25-50 range. My guess is both rings are from Ali. Usually the ring that she claims to be of better quality go for around $30. That's still a 25 dollar profit that she's making.

    One day, when the cheap coating wore off the back just enough, it started to burn my skin. It literally started burning a wound into my skin, and I couldn't wear it anymore at all. It took days to heal and not hurt.

      Sterling silver isn’t costume jewelry that’s why it’s more expensive 😂 you’re not paying for the fake diamond you’re paying for sterling silver 🙄 obviously if you want a real diamond go spend 2000 on a genuine diamond ring. Plus sterling silver doesn’t turn you green or tarnish, so you don’t HAVE to wear it twice and then throw it out and buy another one just to wear it again for a week at most and have to throw it out.

Fast fashion is horrible for the environment- if you’re buying something to wear a couple times and throw away, why not buy something that you can actually wear more? You’re wearing cheaper stuff either way, only with the slightly better one you don’t have to toss it after two uses.

    As someone who works with body jewelry, this is a really frustrating idea that people have. I definitely don’t work for the highest quality body jewelry distributor, but we sell a good quality of jewelry for the price. But we will still have people come in and scoff at me and even get mad at me for the price of the jewelry and say “ I can get the same piece of jewelry off of Amazon for half the price, why would I ever buy this?” It’s frustrating but my answer is always, you’re paying for the quality and you paying for the return policy.

    Your ring prices are in no way “too expensive.” Some people may not be able to afford them, but that doesn’t mean you should have to cut your cost or quality. If someone says they can get it cheaper somewhere else, then they can do that and have the rings turn their fingers green. There are also rings that can be bought from other places (that are sterling silver) and they cost $100+ while looking similar to some of your rings. If anything, I say that your prices are much more affordable for such beautiful jewelry.

Stones can fall from any type of jewelry. Even diamond rings. Prong settings are tiny and snagging your ring or build up from lotions, oils, dirt and debris can also loosen the prongs. Cleaning is definitely recommend especially if you are wearing the item on a daily basis. Each and every person cares for their jewelry differently. It’s your choice on what business you want to support or purchase from. We are a small business and always working to improve our quality. Not everyone will always be satisfied. There will always be good and bad reviews for any and every product. So to judge my entire collection based off of a few bad reviews is a little unfair.

      I highly doubt aliexpress “stole” their designs. That’s a very basic ring design I see all over, not just on costume jewelry sites. I’ve even seen real gold and diamonds in it.

    i struggle with ppl comparing my crafts to other stores, everyone has different methods and expenses, i believe i charge a decent price for things i can spend between 1 hour to 3 days or more, no1 should ever question real stores - i don't consider ali to be areal store as its manufactured and probably not under quality control

      The camera sucks at picking up gems. Like, quality cz is way different then cheap cz. I bet hers looks way better.
      Can't believe I'm standing up for cheap cz rings, but feels like the right thing to do

    Hi! As someone who constantly looses their stuff I would rather NOT spend money on good jewelry. I can get a cheap cute ring off of aliexpress, wear it 5 or 6 times, loose it and go "oh well" and proceed to buy a pack of 10 rings for 1€ and repeat the process. Will my grandchildren inherit any of it? Probably not. I don't care tho I wanna wear shiny things but not waste money on them

      I can not keep up with small things for the life of me, I've lost real fine jewelry from it just falling off my body 😭. I don't have much money, so I just stick to costume.

    That AliExpress looks good when it's not placed side by side with yours so I could see why people would be satisfied with the cheaper quality. If I love the ring, I'd want the better quality though.

    Same here. I have only recently become allergic so now I have to get rid of all my earings and buy 925 silver or white gold.

    Ali express looks better even though it’s of lesser quality
