TIF Jewelry Store
A huge ripoff, and I should have known better. A little research, which I did not do until after the fact, showed that Tiffany & Co. (the "Company") makes their jewelry only in the United States. This counterfeit crap is made in and shipped from China; no surprise.
Research, which took all of ten minutes, shows that the Company has no closeout or discount store. Their SEC filing 10K is very clear on this. The Company spends millions of dollars tracking down and prosecuting the criminal rings that profit on the Company's fine name.
The quality of the bracelet is not bad, considering its origin. The links are soldered together so that it is difficult to tell where each opening is. Chemical testing will show whether or not the metal is sterling silver, or cheap white metal used in the grills of automobiles. The blue Tiffany box is a poor copy.
My only recourse will be to dispute the charge on my credit card. Otherwise, it is a $110 mistake.
