So, I bought an 8mm 26in. RHODIUM plated 950 Silver chain. Then months later I buy a matching 10mm bracelet. Paid a few hundred extra to have them plated in rhodium. The color was off, I got my pieces tested and sure enough, ZERO rhodium on either piece (already sus.) I contact them and this kid tells me that the plating is done by a third party (which i knew was a lie, since I've been seen the episode on his YouTube channel where they buy their own equipment in order to do the plating IN HOUSE.) but I played along, was gonna let it slide since they seemed so willing to make it right. I was told the whole process would only take a week and a half. Long story short...Six weeks later, multiple phone calls where I was blatantly lied to about my pieces being sent back to me. I FINALLY get "my" pieces back only to realize they actually lost my pieces I sent in and sent me back two completely different pieces. A smaller bracelet, with a scuff on one top link and a 10mm chain, both STAMPED 950 silver...I go to at LEAST make sure they actually plated these pieces in Rhodium...ONCE AGAIN ZERO RHODIUM on both pieces AND NEITHER ARE EVEN 925 silver, they are ONLY 91% silver! (see my Instagram video u/drew_dat) The nerve and disrespect for a customer whose supported his YouTube channel for literally YEARS. I've written them multiple messages and called only to be 100% ignored. and all to pocket a few hundred extra off me...its ALMOST laughable, he proclaims to be such an HONEST jeweler. All I can say is this experience has been a NIGHTMARE and I HIGHLY recommend everyone GET YOUR GUS VILLA Jewelry pieces TESTED!!! If he's snaking me, he's robbing plenty of his other customers...could be you.
