Cheapish foreign jewellery

Has anyone bought any jewellery off Ebay before?

I've just found this seller on Ebay who sells some quite pretty looking rings for ridiculously cheap prices. They're shipped from Hong Kong and claim to be the genuine thing (ie 925 silver with real opals set in them), but they're all around £3/£4!!. Obviously I was extremely sceptical at first. I um'd and ah'd for a bit then decided what the hell it's cheap, so I've bidded on one anyway!!

Works out at about £10 including postage from Hong Kong.

Their feedback seems to be mostly good - a couple of people complained of the stones not being genuine but most have left great feedback.

I just wondered whether anyone else had bought any cheap jewellery like this before and whether it was a total waste of money??

Anyway hopefully I will "win" that auction and I will let you know whether it was worth it or not!

That is a beautiful ring.
I have bought jewelry from Hong Kong on eBay in the past. The ring I got was real and the seller (not the same one on your link) was a good ebayer.


I hope you win.

im very " asssertive " when it comes to buying jewllery carnt say i have bought anyfrom ebay.
that is a very nice ringbecky hope you win

Wow that is cheep beautiful too
I have never bought jewelry off eBay before but at that price its worth a try.
let us know if you win it.

That is a gorgeous ring hun so i wouldnt mind paying £10 for it!
When it comes to even costume jewellery from a jewellers it can be more expensive - even stuff in claires which we know isnt reall can go for more than £10 lol!

Only 12 hours left, it looks to me like your going to win it!

I hope so - damn, just seen the delivery time is up to 14 working days!!! booo!!!

Well two weeks is not that long to wait for delivery. I never worry unless it says 60 days or 90 days.

lol I know, I'm just being impatient! The last couple of things I've ordered off Ebay have arrived within a couple of days of paying, so I've just got used to it. I really hope it doesn't turn out to be cheap and nasty looking in real life, haha!

It will not be that long to wait!
If it is not all you dreamed of then save the box and regift it for a birthday or christmas!

That's a brilliant idea, I have a couple of girlfriends' birthdays coming up actually, lol!! Cheapskate? Me?? Never!

Well what happened?
Did the ring arrive yet?
Do you love it?

Yes, it finally arrived, I love it! It looks relly sparkly... I would definitely recommend buying from there for anyone that wants some nice jewellery for a cheap price
