does anybody know if this free jewellery site is for real

I had a similar thought - as it's under a fiver, give it a go and see what happens.
So, I ordered a pair of earrings. I paid with paypal and they arrived really quickly, very well packed. No tax to pay, but the postage only cost them around 96cents.
The earrings are lovely, unusual and good quality. The only thing I'd say is get your ruler out to measure how big the item actually is as the photos on the site are misleading, can't fault them though as they provide full measurements.
Agree, not a freebie, but I can't really fault them otherwise.

Hi,
strawberryfluff how long does it take to come? and cant you just make a paypal dispute to ge the p&p back, so you get it really free lol :rotfl:

That's a joke right?

I've used them here's my opinion:

Well as the review noted, P&P only costs aboout 69cents (30p). You pay £4.54. So thats £4.24 for the jewelry, so they're still making a profit somewhere. It's cheaply made silver crafts from Taiwan ... the sort of items you can buy on Deal Extreme - except Deal Extreme actually is cheaper - their items are around $5 with free delivery.

The whole "timer" is a very clever way to entice buyers who believe they'll only have one chance at buying a particular item, when in fact the items are on a rotation. It's basic psychology.

Either way - this topic doesn't belong here.

Can't remember exactly, but no longer than a couple of weeks.

As for the paypal question - I couldn't possibly comment.

Just received my first order from them. A lovely pair of sterling silver and citrine earrings. FANTASTIC value for £3 odd postage.

Well I ordered it on the 20th (see earlier post) and arrived today. Whilst its obviously not really expensive stuff. it's pretty bloody good for a fiver or so.

I placed an order for a nice ring on friday (I've got a friend who can adjust it for me for free) and the necklace to go with it this morning. Now waiting for the earrings to show up...... waiting, waiting, waiting.

For £4.60 a time, it's not free, but if it looks nice and shiney when it appears, I'm not bothered.

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

Ordered the ring on Feb 28th, it was dispatched on the 29th, and arrived with me on the 5th March - now that's good service. :j

The silver is stamped with 925, and the stone looks nice (yes it could be glass, but for £4.50 who cares) They paid 90c for the postage - so they've made $8 a time - which kind of defeats the free idea, but is still cheaper than i would pay here.

I've found the matching necklace and earrings, and they are also winging their way across 'the pond'. I've therefore paid £13 odd for a ring, necklace and earrings set. Bargain!!

Note - the only downside, is that you do have to be patient if you want a set of things, as they don't appear that way on the site - took a few days of checking in to get a matching set.
