I purchased a large number of pieces of Jewelry, Art and Antiques for investments, all with valuations from Gemological Laboratory of America or Certificates of Authenticity's. Due to the item "Jewelry Report, description Valuation of their Certificates of Authenticity provided with each piece we proceeded. Recently I had to have appraisals and evaluations done on the many "Chinese Antiques" purchased and to my dis-belief and amazement the first (5) appraised turned out to be "FAKE, FRAUDS" WORTHLESS and Not at all as represented by Bidz.com's item description. Then I had another set done and "AGAIN" they turned out to be junk, some not even the Jade material as stated. One represented as 2000 year old jade Figure from the Han Dynasty (25-220BC) was not even Jade! Some have been acid treated and given a fake patina made to appear they are old. Out of the (40) or so purchased the first (15) we checked were Frauds, fakes.
