Does Shein sell real jewelryl? Testing a jewelry haul from Shein
They have to be good fakes the first ring you held up was obviously fake.
You should test the Bomb Party Sterling club jewelry
People are selling the exact same Temu products (even has the same photo that they do on Temu) on Etsy.
yes, and it's causing a huge problem for legit etsy sellers; because some of the temu sellers also steal images from etsy sellers' original products -- then etsy bots see the item elsewhere on the web and thinks the legit etsy seller is not making the item themselves (I hope that makes sense). such a shame
Oops I meant to say s in front of the 925
I've had both s925 and 925 be fake, so I don't find that to be true
If there's an ass before the 95 they are real
Every youtuber should watch this podcast and really watch and listen to it as this is how to behave on social media. No mean girl behaviour, no mocking of others, just fun and honest! I think you are both fabulous girls. 💛✌️
Awwww thank you so much!!! This is such a sweet compliment!!
I buy the two dollar stainless steel rings, they don't turn me green and if I hate it I haven't spent much. I f I love it I can always have it cast in silver.
Thanks for sharing this! 🙂👍
I can’t believe you are so gullible. .
spoken like someone who didn't actually watch the video....
Basically don’t quit. Slow and steady. Rome wasn’t built in a day👋💜🌺😊
Yup, all these things!
exactly, thanks for watching Dee!
Yes I'm a silver girl too but I usually can tell if it's real silver too sometimes when it's stainless steel they are pretty too bc they don't turn your skin or anything they actually act n look like silver. But I could tell that one from the start that was kinda thick and had that diamond look or whatever wasn't real but the other ones were very pretty for sure.
Can you recommend trusted companies on aliexpress or alibaba?
In the video I put the sellers on the screens and say their names. I honestly don't buy jewelry from aliexpress, except this one time, so I wouldn't know who to suggest other than the ones I had success with in this video. I would say if the price is too good to be true, it probably is!
Where is the precious metal stamp on the inside of the rings? 925 means sterling silver
on one but not the other
Nice job
Come on, I buy jewellery from Temu all the time, they are never real, but are so cheap that I don't mind that they only last for a few wears 😂
Great advice ladies ❤
Thank you Lisa!
I don't think comparing yourself to others is always a bad thing if it's used constructively and it helps you to set goals to make your life better. When you do it and allow it to make you feel less than or bad about yourself is when it's not good. And we always need to remember that it's never going to be a level playing field. Some people start out in life with gifts or blessings that others will never have and others have incredibly difficult challenges that most people will never ever be able to understand. Just be the best you that you can be and be kind to yourself and others and you will be way ahead of the game. God bless!!!
This is very well put!
a risk of buying cheap silver is it can contain cadmium i have tested cheap foreign silver before in an xrf machine and found dangerous levels ... cadmium is very toxic
Aloha Laura and Kristen😊, love this topic.❤👍
Aloha Cassandra! Thanks for tuning in!
Thanks for watching Cassandra!
Great topic - definitely comes up as a reseller especially if you sell on social platforms - it can be very toxic to dwell in the negative! I enjoy this one because it presents an opportunity to communicate and share with others. Turn the negative (contention) into a positive (sharing) to assist both parties to GROW 😊
exactly! I love this perspective and yes absolutely you have the risk of being brought down (emotionally) from the success of others or the opportunity to learn and grow yourself. And the best part is we get to make that choice :)
Thanks for watching Roy !
Are the results being affected by you using the same square black thing and wiping it down repeatedly? I know nothing, I just wondered.
Thanks for asking! It makes no difference so long as the plate is wiped down each time.
I wouldn’t blame Temu they are not the seller just like Amazon.
people keep saying this but temu allows them to continue selling after being reported so....I feel like they're also to blame
I love your test, but so far I’m not seeing any hallmark on the fake rings to suggest they’re even trying to be real? I think people just need to be aware to read the details of the ads fully, I’ve had great success buying sterling silver rings from temu and shein but you have to look for a hallmark AND read the product details where they list what the materials are. If it says anything other than sterling silver, we can’t be surprised if it’s not SS. I love your test though, and I learned a lot from your video!
I addressed this in my Aliexpress video but YES, everything I bought did say repeatedly it was 925, and most (but not all) were also stamped. This is not just Temu, I also had this problem with aliexpress as well as jewelry I've bought on ebay. you CAN'T trust a stamp! I'm glad you've had good success with it. In my first video from a temu shipment, it was all real. I guess I just got some good sellers last time, and some crummy ones this time! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :)
The audio in this video is mono in my headphones (right side). It's awkward and throwing my balance off.
P. S I'm not talking about the stones.
In a word NO. You have to accept the fact that what you are getting is beautiful but fake. Y'all know that if you have bought jewelry from them and I have purchased a ton. They have the look down as in making the stones and settings look unimaginably real but no don't believe a word of it. And I'm sure they're rodium plated. Buyer beware and you get what you pay for. I'm very happy with the jewelry I've purchased because I accept what they are.
Temu is known for being the most crooked thing around
Hey Laura! Great information, I've wondered about this. Just happen to get this video on my feed, glad I did. New subbie too, great to meet ya...Big hugs from Texas!😊
Yay! Thanks so much for the watch and the sub, and welcome to the channel!! Ahhhh I've danced all around Texas (AZ, NM, Mexico) but still never been! It's on my bucket list :P Hugs back from Virginia!
@@Lauraetcetera 😍😁🤩
I have returned rings to TEMU that were marked 925 and were not silver. I put them under "not as described" and received a full refund.
yup, I will definitely say their refunds are at least pretty easy to do
Hey I enjoyed your video. What a bummer Right. You can solder that band with the dragon back together very easily! My husband has been shopping @ Temu recently. I told him he’s not wearing those clothes when I’m with you. I’ve gotten things from Temu that were ok. Not jewelry. I would rather make it. But I did enjoy your video. Thanks so much!😂
THANK YOU FOR THIS! I can't count how many people are yelling at me that I "destroyed jewelry". No, unless it's been melted down, it's still got life left. What kind of jewelry do you make? I am that way with arts/crafts, I rarely buy things because I'm convinced I can make the items. I am delusional like that LOL
This was super interesting, I know nothing about testing jewelry, it was really fascinating to learn about it. and... twilight?!? I would have never guessed that about you lol
my secret's out! I had a coworker introduce me to the series maybe 9-10 years ago (I borrowed her books). It was a fun ride. I thought my teenage self would have been into it, but who knows. And who cares. My adult self is into it XD
Where do you get the both kits
linked in the video description :)
So much fun!! I had the climbing man ear cuff in the 90s! I still have a stud to match but sadly not the cuff 😢 Love your gem knowledge and purple lab is now on my bucket list, never seen that before! ❤
Isn't the purple pretty?! I'd let it go if you're interested though ;) Ohh what did the little man stud look like? Did they make it look like it's hanging off of your ear somehow? And thank you about the gem knowledge! I just love stones!
@@Lauraetcetera I think the import fees from the states would be too much, but thank you - you wear and enjoy! Hmm I’m trying to remember now, I’ll have to dig it out 🧗♂️
@@jewelrescue oh yes probably not worth it! haha if you do dig it out let me know, now i'm really curious!
@@Lauraetcetera so am I, I’ll try and remember to grab him out! 💕
Man no money til the first! You’re killing me girl 😢😂😂. Oh use a magnet to make sure it’s stainless 💜💜 if you still have that opal beauty for $12 by then I will definitely buy it
I'll have to get a magnet out. I never think to grab one! No bites on the opal yet ^_^
Am I the only one hearing her through only the right earbud?
Maybe you could give the cheap ones away to your custumers when bying jewlery. Love your test-videos. Love from Denmark. 💖🇩🇰. Lene
Hello from over the pond! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment! I love that idea <3
I love this video. I love the unique jewelry. Always look forward to your videos.❤❤❤❤❤
You are so sweet! Thank you so much for your kind comment <3
Wow this is so interesting.
41:01 girlllll whaatttttt
I know!! Too bad most likely not real :( very convincing though!
11:18 wow so pretty !
aren't they?! I am surprised those didn't get snatched up first honestly!
Your tank is so pretty! Thanks for sharing fish and jewelry content! We are definitely soul sisters! Ordering fish is nerve wrecking for sure! You getting the Pleco out made me giggle thanks for sharing!
Yay!! We jewelry and fish lovers are rare! ^_^
Were the mosaic opal earrings you first showed be Harlequin?
Sadly no signature, only says "SILVER 925" on the butterfly backs :/
🎶“Momma’s got a squeezebox…Daddy never sleeps at night!”🎶 🤣Da Dant Da Dant
THANK YOU FOR GETTING THAT JOKE!
I'm going to be singing that all day now. 😂
It would be great if you let us know which seller in Temu sold you the real sterling silver and which one false advertised.
LOL Laura.. I say this all the time.. two peas in a pod.. I have that little man ear cuff too! If you sell yours let me know so I can make a pair.. if not keep it and we ca bee twinkies! EDIT: I see you offered him for sale so I emailed you!
Also the first pair of opal earrings.. I have the matching cuff :) A hand made one I bought from ELizabeth K! Let me know if you sell the studs... or if you want the cuff you can make a set :)
@@haliesjewelryandcrafts I emailed you about everything! and you're totally right about our twin-taste!
37:34 ruby ring$20, 50:44-amethyst onyx multi gem earrings $25
Both yours ,thank so much!!!!
Ooh those opal and black spinel are amazing 😍
Aren't they?! I love the combination. Although I do think black spinel goes with everything!
never bought from you before. actually 1st time seeing you on youtube! i'd love the ring at 37:00 the mystery blueish stone, not marked silver ring. sorta looks like a crown detail around the stone.
Yay! So glad you found my channel! That ring's all yours, I'll get an invoice over shortly. Thanks so much!!!
Loving the collaboration here! And the topics 👍👏👏👏
Thank you so much!!!
Those 2 lab rings 🤤 Gorgeous! I'll keep my eyes open for the catch and release on those! 😂 I'm so quick to comment, I keep needing to come back and comment more excitement 😅 This was a fabulous haul
Hey girly! Good to see you! Those are GORGEOUSSS
