I was excited when looking at all the sparkling rings, necklaces, bracelets etc. on Wish.com. Not only could they be purchased for $1-4 each plus shipping of $1-3 each item, they were genuine! Genuine 925 Sterling silver! And that was not all. Genuine gemstone rings of Aquamarine, Ruby, emerald, pink sapphire, blue sapphire, etc., etc., etc., and the engagement style rings boasted "white sapphire" gems! Wow! I could make a lot of money flipping these and just in time for Valentine's!
Strands of "natural freshwater pearl strands" I purchased along with every type of 925 gemstone ring. I think with adding up the several different purchases I've reached around 80 items.
The items started to trickle in a few weeks ago. So far, every pearl is plastic. The Ruby rings are plastic. The blue topaz rings, so far, two from two different vendors are plastic! One is glass. The sapphire engagement style rings are glass. More plastic pearls. And although many items are stamped "925" (silver), no item is silver!
I've had everything professionally inspected. They used up my time, the teaser ads I created, and with approximately 60 more items expected, I have no hope of them being genuine anything. I've received around 20 items, all from different vendors. All with the same BS ads. All with different designs, colors, "gems," etc. But they all have one thing in common. All are fake. Counterfeit. All lies.
I don't have the money or time to return each individual item and pay postage (again) to get my money. I should get all my money, including the shipping refunded! They should be punished for their lies! This is against the law in the USA. The founders/owners of Wish.com are now on notice of these vendors practices. The vendors will state, "the manufacturer said they were real." That's BS! That is another lie. The vendors have always known they are fake!
It is uncanny how so many buyers give great reviews about these items. Maybe if they waited a week or so they would see the plating diminish, the stones fall out. Find out it cannot be sized because it's brass. Realize the stones are plastic or maybe they don't care because they only bought one item, not 80 like I've done!
Another incredible situation is that several of these vendors are on eBay selling these same rings using the same false ads. Hundreds of sales with only 10% negative feedback. But it is harsh and to the point. Stating everything I've mentioned, but in addition, some of the items they are selling as 14k gold and they are not! Why is eBay allowing this? The same reason Wish is allowing it. The money! Maybe the two men at Wish will put a stop to it. Maybe the three billion that's been made will make it less painful to stop.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
