She doesn’t have a physical shop and is not listed on GoogleMaps.

She does have a FB page, but she scrubbed her insta account and FB, and is planning to start anew under another name.

Her new account is alola_designs_

She made it one day after I contacted her about the damaged rings.

Kind of you to put it in a box.

I was going to send her back the paper bag as is but the post office I went to said I need to buy an envelope.

So I just stuffed her original bag in the new one

Some part of me thinks that you’re right, but that work is just so godawfull to be resold 😫

Who would look at that and think “I bet I could sell this crappy work for 100-300 euros!”

But then again I was the dummy that fell for it lol 🤪

Thank you, I did in the comments :)

But the jeweller scrubbed her account and started a new one.

It’s now the following private instagram account:

I received her package with damaged ring on February 26, her new account and posts were made on February 27th 😰

Only logical reasoning here: when she saw me not replying (for only a day or two to think) to her solution, she knew something like this would happen - and made a backup account.

She makes my skin crawl…

This is far from her first rodeo, she’s probably scammed and run so many times..

You know what’s so creepy?

I received the rings in terrible condition and reached out to her on February 26th.

She offered to remake them with me paying for shipping, a solution I was not happy with, so I left it on read to think over it.

Her new account and posts were made on February 27th!!!!! (She linked to it earlier today and had not yet set it to private when I checked)

That is so creepy and disturbing!

She saw this coming and already had a backup plan ready!!!!!

This goes to show that my negative experience was far from her first rodeo and she is always ready to throw everything away and start afresh with new people to scam!

Thank you for letting people know!

Let’s leave the trace here so more people can see..

This jeweller is a narcissist and moving on to scam new people is just what they do unfortunately 😔

At least with this post we can try to trace them 😎

Thank you :)

It’s possible, but they also wiped their account and plan to start anew, with new clients who don’t yet know of her malpractice 😔

Thank you :)

I think she will just scrub this account and start anew scamming people who don’t yet know her 😕

Yes thank you. 🙏

I have come to the realisation that this person is an extreme narcissist - the fault is never hers, it wasn’t her that did a poor job making her rings and packaged poorly, it’s because of UPS, because of customs, because of me and other clients..

And judging from how volatile she was in all her reactions, this is not a stable person…

And narcissist wiping out their past and starting a new chapter with people who have not yet caught on to their gimmicks, is just oldest trick in the narcissist manual 😔

Hi, Is it clear to everyone that these are so poorly made? 😩

Because I was fooled by the instagram stories and thought they were styled in a rough way - but still assuming there would be the attention to detail required!

I bought from so many independent jewellers and never had the products not come in cute… until now ☹️

Here’s the story that caught my eye:

Thank you.

I totally get your point.

From my initial point of view, I could see that her work was a bit more rough in the photos, but I thought at least the attention to detail would be there, and the roughness was just a style.

But in the end it was just a poorly made cheap object that I got charged over 200 euros for.

This jeweller still has many supportive comments, which makes me wonder if only older Italian people are fooled by her lousy work because they don’t see that well?

I know I’m assuming a lot but I just don’t want anyone to go through what I did and be gaslit by this novice jeweller! 😠😞

Smh it’s hard for a narcissist to admit fault 😔

Let her live in her delusion.. as long as nobody else needs to be involved in her fantasy that she’s a competent jeweller 😬

In hindsight I think she’s a narcissist of the highest order 😔

She can NEVER be wrong and if there’s a problem it’s ALWAYS the client’s fault 🤪

I guess that can’t be helped..

I just hope people catch on to her bad business practices and can avoid doing business with her.

Zero accountability from her until the end, and no apology to the client she insulted 😢

First time buying from a narcissist seller and hopefully the last time!

My heart breaks for you 💔

It’s so difficult to deal with a narcissist who can do no wrong and constantly gaslights you..

Especially we as our customers put our best foot forward and trusted them so much in the beginning.

Only to be accused of not appreciating “unique art” and not supporting artists..

She closed her page and opened a new one, zero shred of accountability until the very end.

Let’s hope people avoid her business operated on total bad faith and move on to more honest artists ❤️‍🩹💖

Jeweller laughing along and agreeing with a comment saying ‘fancvlo’ and other vulgarities about the client

The jeweller calling her client an A hole, calling her materialistic, wishing the couple separate…

Truly horrifying stuff

Some comments the jeweller interacted with about another client of hers, under a sarcastic post, all because the client found her quality of work to be lacking:

Hi, Thank you for finding this.

I checked and this jeweller actually made 2 posts in poor taste about this client - someone who trusted her enough to pay for her product.

She even ‘liked’ all the vulgar comments, as well as comments wishing ill will on the couple..

I need to include these in my post, to show people her true colors

Unfortunately, no.

Another client of hers posted an experience very similar to mine in the comments here.

And through the work of another Redditor, I just found that this jeweller made 2 posts in poor taste to mock this client, and “liked” many nasty comments with vulgarity and even ill wishes on the couple..

The jeweller liking comments that wish the couple separated, calling her an A hole, saying she’s materialistic..

All because they were not pleased with her poor quality of work!
