CaratLane.com Exceptional Customer Service and Quality Jewelry from CaratLane Jewels

My experience with CaratLane Jewels was beyond amazing! I was so pleased with the service I received from Mr. Danesh, the executive person from Viviana store Thane. He was a great help in assisting me with my order of a beautiful bracelet with an amazing design. However, upon receiving the bracelet, I realized that it was too delicate for everyday wear and had to return it.

The customer care service was true to their promise on their full refund policy. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and they had the ability to listen and provide an amazing experience for their clients. CaratLane provides a level of service that most try to emulate but can't achieve. Finally, there is someone trustworthy and reputable in the jewelry business.

Mr. Danesh stood true to his word and reassured me that I would get my refund as soon as possible. I appreciate how they conduct their business and how they prioritize their customers' satisfaction. The high level of class, pressure-free professionalism, and wonderful service I received is best summarized by my experience with CaratLane.

Thank you for the great work, CaratLane! I highly recommend this jewelry store to anyone looking for quality jewelry and excellent customer service.

CaratLane.com Personalized and Smooth Experience with CaratLane: Highly Recommend!

I gotta say, I tried out CaratLane and it was a pretty sweet experience. I was on the hunt for a bracelet for my niece's birthday and I wanted to make sure it was perfect. So, I asked to try out a few pieces at home and Mr. Vijayanand came through with some similar options to what I was looking for.

The whole process was smooth sailing thanks to Mr. Vijayanand. He took care of everything from start to finish, making sure the delivery timeline was on point and even going the extra mile to personalize the bracelet exactly how I wanted it. And get this, even though it was pouring rain on the day of delivery, he still made sure to get it to me. That's some dedication right there.

What I really appreciated about CaratLane was their online platform that allowed me to try out the bracelet at home before making a final decision. Especially with all the craziness going on in the world right now, it was nice to have that option. And let's not forget about Mr. Vijayanand's personal touch that made the whole experience even better.

So, big shoutout to CaratLane and Mr. Vijayanand for taking care of me and making my niece's birthday gift a success. Highly recommend checking them out if you're in the market for some jewelry.

CaratLane.com Disappointing Experience with Caratlane.com: Poor Customer Service, No Bill or Diamond Certificate, Misleading Catalog Picture

I recently made a purchase from caratlane.com and I must say, I was not impressed with their customer service. I ordered two sets of ear rings on Sept 20th and was supposed to receive them on Oct 20th, but due to the pandemic, I received them a bit late. However, that's not the main issue here.

I tried contacting their customer service for updates on my order, but they were extremely unhelpful. They had no information on my order and kept promising to get back to me via email, but I never received any updates. As I ordered from the US, I had to stay up late to contact their customer service and still received no help.

When I finally received my order, I was disappointed to find that there was no bill or diamond certificate included in the package. I had customized the clarity and color of the diamonds, but now I have no proof of what I received. Additionally, I have no bill to see how I was charged or the weight of the product. This is completely unacceptable.

Furthermore, the picture in the catalog/website with the model showcasing the item is misleading. The sizes are much smaller than advertised. I was disappointed to find that the items were not as big as I had expected.

Overall, I was not satisfied with my experience with caratlane.com. Their customer service was unhelpful and the lack of a bill and diamond certificate is unacceptable. Additionally, the misleading picture in the catalog/website is disappointing. I would not recommend this website to others.

CaratLane.com Terrible Service and False Promises: My Experience with CaratLane

I gotta tell ya, I had a pretty rough experience with CaratLane. I dropped a whopping Rs 43,112 on some goods back in April of '15, all because I was promised a sweet 30% discount and a lifetime discount of 20%. Sounds pretty good, right? Well, let me tell you, it's been a real headache trying to get that lifetime discount card.

The salesperson I talked to said I'd get the card within a month, but here we are in August of '15 and still no card. I've been to the shop in Ambience Mall, Gurgaon three times now, and every time I have to go through the whole rigmarole of verifying my request. And every time, they tell me they'll get back to me. But guess what? They never do.

I've even sent emails to the company, but no response. Today, I went back to the shop and talked to a salesperson named Ashutosh. He gave me the same old line about them getting back to me. When I asked to speak to someone higher up, the manager, Hitesh, was a real piece of work. He was too busy to talk to me and basically told me to buzz off.

Honestly, I'm pretty disgusted with the whole experience. The service was terrible, the staff was rude, and I feel like I was sold a bill of goods with those false promises. I wouldn't recommend CaratLane to anyone.

CaratLane.com CaratLane: The Best in Online Jewelry Shopping - A Customer Review

I gotta say, CaratLane is the real deal when it comes to buying jewelry online. I was a bit hesitant at first, but after my recent experience with them, I can confidently say that they are the best in the business.

I was looking for a special gift for my husband for our 15th anniversary, and stumbled upon CaratLane's website. I was impressed with their collection of platinum rings, but wasn't sure if it was the right choice. That's when Mr. Rabindra stepped in and helped me make the right decision. He explained all the pros and cons of different types of gifts, and emphasized the importance of creating lifetime memories. I was sold!

I placed my order for a platinum ring, and was pleasantly surprised to receive it the very next day. Unfortunately, I was out of town on my anniversary, but the logistic guy (I forgot his name, sorry!) called me up to check if he could wait a little longer. I requested for next day delivery, and he rescheduled it accordingly. When the product arrived, Praveen delivered it with utmost care and patiently waited till I opened and checked it thoroughly.

I must say, the entire experience was top-notch. CaratLane truly values customer satisfaction, and it shows in their service. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality jewelry at affordable prices. Keep up the good work, Team CaratLane!

CaratLane.com Exceptional Customer Service and High-Quality Jewelry from CaratLane

When I was looking for a special gift for my husband's birthday, I was in a bit of a bind. I live in a remote area and didn't have the time to visit a store in person. That's when I remembered CaratLane. I had been browsing their website for a while, adding items to my wishlist, and decided to give them a try. I called their customer support and was connected with Sonakshi, a CaratLane executive. She was very helpful and answered all of my questions about the couple band I was interested in. With her assistance, I was able to make my purchase quickly and easily.

A few days later, I received the product, but unfortunately, it didn't fit properly. I had to return it twice due to sizing issues. However, Sonakshi was there to help me every step of the way. She provided me with a solution and made the return process smooth and hassle-free. Eventually, the product was repaired and I received my lovely bands back. I am extremely happy with my experience with CaratLane. Their service was exceptional, and I am grateful to Sonakshi and the entire CaratLane team for their assistance.

Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience with CaratLane. The website was easy to navigate, and the customer support was excellent. The only downside was the sizing issue, but that was quickly resolved thanks to Sonakshi's help. I highly recommend CaratLane to anyone looking for high-quality jewelry and exceptional customer service. Thank you, CaratLane, for making my husband's birthday extra special!

CaratLane.com Great Customer Service and Quality Products, but Some Issues with Overseas Orders: A Review of CaratLane

I've been shopping on CaratLane for a while now and I gotta say, I keep coming back for more. The customer service is really great, they're always super polite and quick to respond. I've recommended this platform to a bunch of my friends and they've all had great experiences too.

That being said, there are a couple of things that could use some work. The app is really easy to use and it's great for ordering things to be delivered within India, but if you're ordering from overseas, there are some issues. You can change the country to see the prices in your currency, but when you go to add your address, it can be a bit of a letdown to find out that the collection available for overseas deliveries is much smaller. It's also a bit confusing when it comes to redeeming points.

But honestly, the customer service is so good that I can't really complain too much. They've always gone above and beyond to help me out whenever I've had a question or issue. The quality of the products is really great too, and the packaging and design are top notch.

Overall, I'd give CaratLane a 4 out of 5. I'd definitely shop here again, but I hope that the management will work on some of the small issues that can be a bit of a hassle.

CaratLane.com Unfortunate Experience with CaratLane Trading: Missing Jewelry Item and Poor Customer Service

I am writing to share my unfortunate experience with CaratLane Trading. On April 19th, 2016, I received a courier from them containing my order for a Mace Gada Pendant, with Order No. DEDD4B1A and Invoice No. MUM/16-17/***. However, upon opening the package, I was dismayed to find that the jewelry item was missing. All that was included was an invoice slip.

This situation has left me feeling vulnerable and stressed, as the missing jewelry item is quite valuable. When I contacted CaratLane staff to report the issue, they advised me to file an FIR, which has further eroded my trust in their website. Additionally, they have informed me that they cannot take any action from their end.

Upon further inspection, I noticed that the brown tin box in which the pendant was supposed to be packaged did not have any packing material, which the CaratLane staff have confirmed is a sign of tampering. I am now unsure if I will receive a refund for my purchase.

Overall, I would not recommend purchasing from CaratLane due to their poor customer service and lack of accountability. If an item goes missing, it seems that they are unwilling or unable to take any action to rectify the situation. This has been a disappointing experience and I hope that others will be cautious when considering purchasing from this website.

CaratLane.com Disappointed with CaratLane's Unprofessional Behavior and Lack of Concern for Customers

I recently had a bad experience with CaratLane, an online jewellery store that partners with Tanishq. I placed an order for a beautiful pair of Glistening Wavy Stud Earrings on April 24, 2021, and was supposed to receive the delivery by May 3, 2021. However, when the courier guy arrived, I was shocked to find that I had only received the invoice copy and not my jewellery. When I asked him about it, he said that he had only delivered the packet that he had received from the company.

I immediately contacted CaratLane and shared all the details with them over the phone and email. However, I was disappointed to receive no satisfactory response from their end. They kept saying that they were investigating the matter with their logistic partner and would update me within 5-6 days. But it has been more than 6 days now, and I have not received a single update from them.

When I asked them about the result of their investigation, they said that they had not found anything yet and were still investigating. They even suggested that I file an FIR for the missing item. I am extremely disappointed with their unprofessional behavior and lack of concern for their customers.

If there is any hope of resolving this issue, I would appreciate it if the team reviewing these reviews could take my matter to the appropriate authorities within their system and get my issue resolved urgently. My order details are as follows: Order no -R2A1B689-J, Item description - Glistening Wavy Stud Earrings.

I hope that CaratLane will take this matter seriously and provide me with a satisfactory resolution soon.

CaratLane.com Unresolved Customs Duty Issue with CaratLane's Website Order - A Frustrating Experience

I recently ordered a small gem product from CaratLane's website, and I must say, it was quite an experience. I live in the United Kingdom, and I had a chat with one of their agents before placing the order. They gave me a confirmation of the final price, which included the product cost, customs duty, and shipping charges. I was happy with the price and went ahead to place the order.

The product arrived in good shape, and it was delivered by FedEx. However, I was surprised when FedEx handed me a customs duty invoice that had not been paid by the shipper. I called FedEx to inquire about this, and they confirmed that the shipment had been sent to the UK without customs duty, and I needed to pay. I requested that they send me this confirmation via email, which they did. I then forwarded the email with the invoice attachments to CaratLane's representative, who gave me written confirmation that they would handle the issue.

I was relieved and continued with my life, but little did I know that this issue would drag on for six months. FedEx handed the case to a debt collection agency in the UK, and they have been calling me and asking for payment of the customs duty. Every time I contact CaratLane's representative, they give me a confirmation saying that the issue would be resolved, but in no time, I get a call or email from the debt agency. It's been a frustrating experience, and I am doubting the genuineness of the product.

I have been tired of writing emails and answering CaratLane's calls, and I am yet to see a resolution to this issue. I can provide the order details and email communications between me and CaratLane for authenticity. Overall, it has not been a pleasant experience for me, and I hope CaratLane can resolve this issue soon.

Pease retrieve my conversation that happened via chat. I have ordered through CaratLane previously and the team members were very supportive last year. They even provided me the gateway to pay wire wise and I was able to pay via wise using my international credit card but right now when I had an interaction with somebody on the WhatsApp they said we are on holiday. We are shorthanded. I am extremely dissatisfied with the kind of customer service that was provided to me and on top of that making an excuse that we don’t have enough stuff I do need immediate attention on it as I want my gift to be delivered on 9 February 2024.

CaratLane.com Evil eye necklace from caratlane

I have ordered a Evil eye necklace from Caratlane with Order no. U71EBCF9. I have received the product but I see there is difference in weight in certificate provided by Caratlane and Invoice. The product I got is of 1.981gm as mentioned in Certificate but in Invoice they charged me for 2.326gm. They have not refunded the difference of weight and charging me 2-3k Rupees extra.I tried to reach their customers care service 4-5 times and provided them proof as well but no response was received from their side. It may be small amount but it is about breaking customer trust especially in case of jewellery or gold purchase online. Please look into it and let me know how this can be brought to consumer courts attention.

Thanks

Hello,

I am Pooja Sathe. Today I ordered earrings for my sister in law’s birthday. I have ordered it from caratlane because for delivery they have mentioned that it will be delivered today itself so n between of 4PM to 9PM.

I was continuously contacting to assistant for delivery check. And everyone said that it will be delivered by today itself.by 8:30 PM i again tried to get details of delivery then i come to know that its not possible today.

My question is if you cant keep your promises then why you make it. Why are you making people fool.It was birthday gift. And because of caratlane it got spoiled.very shameful.

By early of day if you people said that its not possible to deliver it. I might have asked someone to collect it manually. Or best if tou have not promised from starting then i might have ordered something.now day is alomst finished. What should i do?

Very shameful act by caratlane…!we trust hou people and then you broke it like this

CaratLane.com Disappointing Purchase from CaratLane: Small Necklace and No Refunds for International Customers

I recently bought a necklace from CaratLane and I have to say, I was pretty disappointed with my purchase. Although it arrived on time, the necklace was much smaller than I expected. In fact, it was three times smaller than the picture on their website! It looked like a necklace for a child, not an adult.

I tried to contact customer service to see if I could return it, but they told me that they don't offer refunds or returns for international customers. Since I'm not from India, they suggested that I bring it with me when I visit India. But seriously, who wants to spend money on a plane ticket just to return a $368 necklace? It would have been cheaper for me to just make my own necklace here!

I really think people should be careful when shopping on this website. It's a total rip off! The necklace is also very thin and tiny, which makes it even more disappointing. I wouldn't recommend buying anything from CaratLane unless you're prepared to be disappointed.

CaratLane.com Disappointing Experience with CaratLane: Poor Customer Service and Delayed Delivery

I recently had a very disappointing experience with CaratLane. I had placed an order for a Classic Metro Men's Ring with the stock number UR***-Y0000 on August 18, 2013. However, it has been over 60 days since I placed the order and I have yet to receive the ring. When I inquired about the status of my order, I was informed that the item had been mistakenly delivered to someone else.

This was meant to be a gift for my niece, and I was extremely disappointed that I had to disappoint her due to the mistake made by CaratLane. The customer service I received was very poor, and I was left feeling frustrated and let down.

As a result of this experience, I will not be purchasing any products from CaratLane in the future. I would also advise others to be cautious when considering purchasing from this company. It is important to receive good customer service and timely delivery of products, and unfortunately, CaratLane did not deliver on either of these fronts in my case.

Overall, I was very disappointed with my experience with CaratLane. It is important for companies to prioritize customer satisfaction and timely delivery of products, and unfortunately, CaratLane fell short in both of these areas. I hope that they will take steps to improve their customer service and delivery processes in the future.

CaratLane.com Disappointing Delivery Experience with CaratLane: A Review

I recently made a purchase on caratlane.com for my mother's 60th birthday. I was eagerly anticipating the delivery of the ring on August 28th, but unfortunately, it was postponed to September 2nd, and then again to September 4th. Finally, on September 5th, after ruining the entire birthday surprise, I received a call from CaratLane informing me that if the product was not delivered by today, I should cancel the order.

To make matters worse, their courier partner, delhivery.com, informed me that they would only deliver the product if they had a delivery boy available. I was extremely disappointed with the entire experience.

Mr. Ratan Tata, if you want to claim that CaratLane is India's best online jeweler, you need to fix these issues. With a team like this, you are definitely not the best. I hope that CaratLane takes steps to improve their delivery process and customer service, so that others do not have to go through the same experience as me.

CaratLane.com Disappointing Customer Service: My Experience with CaratLane.com

I've bought a few things from caratlane.com, and while the products weren't always exactly like the pictures on the website, I still liked the unique designs they had. However, their customer service is pretty bad. They never respond to messages, and it feels like you're just left hanging. I've messaged them multiple times hoping for a response, but it's like they don't care. It's really disappointing that they're associated with Tanishq, because it reflects poorly on them. If they don't start taking their customers seriously, their business is going to suffer. I'm from the United States, and it's really hard to contact them except through WhatsApp. I wouldn't recommend this site to anyone from the US. I really regret buying anything from them at all.

CaratLane.com Poor Customer Service Experience with Carat Lane - Would Not Recommend

I bought an 8 hoop from Carat Lane online in October 2018. The product was delivered on time, but unfortunately, the hoops were not opening and I couldn't wear them. I asked for an online refund, but Mr. Furqan convinced me to buy another product and promised that it would be picked up from my home. However, the refund process turned out to be a headache for me.

When the person came to pick up the product, I was at work and asked him to come at 10.30 AM the next day. He suggested that I keep my gold ornament with my neighbor, which I found to be a strange and unacceptable suggestion. When I complained to Carat Lane, Ms. Ruhi Safiya and the supervisor were not helpful at all. They roughly told me to have kept it with my neighbor and refused to budge from their stance.

I was disappointed with their customer service and their refusal to return and refund the product. It was a frustrating experience and I wouldn't recommend Carat Lane to anyone.

CaratLane.com Stylish but Itchy: A Review of CaratLane's Platinum Couple Bands

I gotta say, I ordered my engagement and wedding rings from CaratLane, and I was pretty stoked about it. I mean, their platinum couple bands looked so slick and stylish, and the whole process from ordering to delivery was smooth as butter. Plus, their customer service was top-notch. But let me tell you, I'm not too thrilled about the quality of these rings.

After wearing them for just a few months, my hubby and I started getting these itchy rashes on our fingers. Not cool, man. It's a real bummer that something that was supposed to be so special and meaningful to us is now just sitting in a box, collecting dust. We don't know what to do about it.

I mean, I get it, CaratLane. You're all about the designs and the customer service and all that jazz. But maybe you should pay a little more attention to the quality of your products, too. 'Cause let me tell you, if you keep churning out rings that give people rashes, you're gonna have some pretty unhappy customers on your hands.

Look, I'm not trying to be a downer here. I know you guys have a lot going for you. But if you really want to make a name for yourself in the jewelry game, you gotta step up your quality control game. 'Cause otherwise, folks like me who are counting on you to help us celebrate life's big moments with some bling are gonna end up feeling pretty let down.

CaratLane.com Unfair Pricing and Sneaky Business Practices at Caratlane: A Review

I wanted to buy some diamonds and I thought Caratlane would be a good place to do it. The prices looked pretty good and they said the diamonds were GIA certified, which is supposed to be a good thing. I picked out some diamonds that were supposed to be "hearts and arrows", which is supposed to be even better than regular diamonds. But then I found out that GIA doesn't actually certify "hearts and arrows" diamonds. That seemed kind of weird to me, but they told me that the GIA certificate would still say "excellent", so I figured it was okay.

The diamonds I wanted to buy cost about AUD 3650, which is a lot of money. But I asked for a discount and they gave me 5% off, which was nice. When I tried to check out and buy the diamonds, though, I got a big surprise. They added almost AUD 1600 for tax and AUD 148 for shipping. That seemed really unfair to me, because they didn't tell me about the tax or shipping when I was picking out the diamonds. I don't think the Indian government would charge that much tax for an export, so I decided not to buy the diamonds after all.

I didn't like the way Caratlane did business. They seemed kind of sneaky and I didn't trust them anymore. Even if they had waived the tax, I still wouldn't have bought the diamonds from them. It was just too slippery for me.

CaratLane.com Terrible Customer Service Experience with CaratLane: Delayed Delivery and No Response to Messages and Emails

I remember the day I ordered a pendant from CaratLane on the 4th of July 2017. I was so excited to gift it to my friend in Gurgaon on the 7th, as the website stated. However, it got delayed and I was left disappointed. I decided to follow up and got 3 different dates on 3 different follow-up calls from their customer care- 11th, 13th, and 14th, post delay on each of these dates. Today is the 14th of July and my gift has not been delivered yet. It is so embarrassing and disappointing to see such a terrible customer service.

I am never going to recommend or shop or gift from here again and neither should you. They have not had the courtesy to respond to Facebook messages, emails, and ensure call backs when they promised that they would do so. Terrible customer service, no respect for the time and money of the customer. It is sad to see such a popular name in online jewelry headed downhill.

I mean, seriously, what kind of service is this? I was promised a delivery date and it got delayed multiple times without any proper communication. It is so frustrating to keep following up and getting different dates every time. And to top it all off, they did not even have the decency to respond to my messages and emails.

I am so disappointed with CaratLane and their customer service. I would not recommend anyone to shop from here. It is a waste of time and money. I hope they improve their service and take their customers seriously.

CaratLane.com Wrong promise of 15 days money back

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the return policy of Caratlane. On May 30, I ordered a bracelet from your website with order number O255CDE7-J. The product page stated that there was a 15-day money-back guarantee, with no mention of any restrictions. I received the bracelet on May 31 and immediately requested a return. I have not received any updates on the status of my return request.

I contacted customer service today to inquire about the status of my return. I was informed that I would only be eligible for a refund for the cost of the gold in the bracelet, as it is a personalized product. I am disappointed that this information was not made clear to me when I placed my order. I would not have ordered the bracelet if I had known that I would not be able to return it for a full refund.

I am requesting that you honor the 15-day money-back guarantee that was advertised on your website. I am also requesting that you waive the personalization fee, as I was not made aware of the restrictions on the return policy until after I had placed my order.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Nikhil

CaratLane.com customer service

I bought a bracelet one week ago, they said they would ship it within 2 days. But along with that, they provide no tracking information, nothing at all. I contacted them and was on hold for over 50 minutes. Not sure why they were soooooo busy.
Now I am exchanging emails with one of them and it is a very useless thing. Oh well, as far as I understand there will be no gift for my sister this Christmas.

CaratLane.com don't waste your money

Why do I think they are scammers? Well, because their products have nothing to do with what's presented on the site. Probably, they steal pictures.
I ordered two rings and got absolutely different ones. No, it was what I ordered, but it looked nothing like the photo on the website. It hardly can be called an expensive jewelry. I can buy the same at the nearest store for 5 dollars. It looks very cheap, I will never wear it. Money spent for nothing.

CaratLane.com customs duty

Hi iam currently living in the United Kingdom. This year in the month of January I ordered a small gem product via Caratlane website. Before ordering I spoke to their agent via chat and got a confirmation of the final price given to me. The final price is inclusive of product cost + customs duty + shipping charges. After receiving the confirmation I ordered the product and received the same in good shape. It was delivered by FedEx. FedEx also handed me customs duty invoice that has not been paid by shipper. I was confused so I called FedEx, they confirmed that the shipment has been sent to UK without customs duty and I need to pay. I requested FedEx to send this confirmation via email. I then forwarded the email with Invoice attachments to Caratlane representative who gave me written confirmation. He responded via email apologising for the inconvenience and this will be handled by their team. I believed and continued with my life. But since then this issue has been going on, FedEx have handed the case to a Debt collection agency in the UK. The debt collection agency are doing their duty of calling me and asking for the payment of customs duty. It has been 06 months and the issue has not been resolved. Caratlane representative every time via email gives me a confirmation saying this would be resolved, but in no time I get a call or email from debt agency. I am tired of writing email last and answering Caratlane calls and hearing broken assurances. I can provide the order details and email communications between me and Caratlane for authenticity. Definitely it is not a pleasant experience for me and I am doubting the genuinity of the product.

CaratLane.com Bad site!!

I bought a pendant from www.caratlane.com online store and they promised I'll get it before Valentines day but it didn't arrived! When I contacted them they said that they need more time to deliver my order and when I ask about the exact delivery date they said they have no idea. What is going on? I think this company is trying to scam me or something. They don't want to cancel my order because it's against their rules. At least that was what heir rep told me. I told him that I want to see where it said that they can't cancel order and what a surprise - he didn't reply!
What a scam! Please avoid buying from this fraudulent seller!

CaratLane.com I got the ring and earrings with defects

I bought ring and earrings from the company www.caratlane.com. This company offered discounts for their productions, so the ring had 20% discount and the earrings was with 30% discount. The sum was rather large, but I thought that it was worth it to spend money for the jewellery. Both items arrived in nice boxes, but both of them were defective and small stones felt out and were lost. The company refused to comment on this problem.

CaratLane.com They sold me fake earnings

I found so beautiful earnings on the website www.caratlane.com. The emerald earnings looked so cool that I bought them. But when they delivered the order, I opened the box and found out that earnings looked terrible and nothing alike as on the website. As well as it wasn’t emerald stones, it was glass. I was so disappointed that I wouldn’t advise this company to other people.
