I had purchased many items from Silpada years ago and still enjoy them today. However, my more recent purchases in the past two years do not show the same quality and craftmanship and I am finding that the silver discolors quickly and the weight of the silver is substantially less than the older jewelry from them. Most of their gemstones are not real and have no value and the look cheap. The new ownership of this company is not living up to the same standards as the founding company. I don't recommend purchasing from them.
