Hello!

I wonder whether these emerald and topaz gemstones are natural? The price seems too low for natural gemstones, doesn’t it? The seller claims these are natural gemstones…
Thank you for sharing your opinion!

      Dear Ellen,

      The short answer is no, emeralds and topazes are not natural in this bracelet. These all are synthetic, man-made stones. More importantly, this bracelet is not made of 925 silver. If you scroll down a bit, you will see in the details that it is “made of bronze”. Thus, the seller is actually lying in the title to grab your attention and then telling the truth in the details. Not very nice of him…The worst part, however, is stating it is “Emerald gemstone” in the details. Liar, liar, liar! Who would set natural emeralds in a cheap bronze bracelet? Nobody! To cut a long story short, this is a piece of cheap costume jewelry worth $5 or so.

      Best regards, Anna
