It's up to you deciding...
After having demonstrated with an official CISGEM expertise that lot ******* No reserve price - 18 kt. Yellow gold - Earrings Blood Coral is made of PLASTIC and TIN and not 18kt gold and coral, after countless emails with Catawiki assistance etc, finally Catawiki replies to me "Dear Mrs. Gilda,
Thank you for sending back the lot to the seller, I remind you that the refund will be made by Catawiki after receiving confirmation that the lot has been returned to the seller in the same condition as it was received.
It will be my concern to get in touch with you again as soon as there are updates. "

Well, DHL tried the delivery of the package yesterday but... the Catawiki seller,
LARAGM = Lara García Rodríguez
Vintage Lara's Jewels SL
Avenida Diagonal 304 AT3
******* Barcelona
DID NOT COLLECT the returning package... and... Catawiki does not return me the 460 euros spent for the fake jewel
I ALSO WARN YOU that all lots of so-called
"vintage jewelry" of this seller report the following statement "It has been verified using several tests, including an acid test, that this piece is made of 18 kt gold. 750 hallmark stamp".
Which means. The 18 kt stamp is not there. But we have tested the vintage jewel and we assure you that it is gold...
Nevertheless Catawiki DOES NOTHING TO STOP IT.
There are currently more than 100 lots on sale of completely fake "vintage jewelry", no reserve price, no 18 KT stamp and with identical repeated coral and turquoise stone drops in multiple lots, identical patterns in both coral and turquoise etc etc
Just looking at the photos of LARAGM lots together, it is clear that this is a bad and coarse printed costume jewelry which, despite numerous appeals, Catawiki allows to be put up for sale as true vintage jewelry.
A colossal deal for LARAGM! Maybe for Catawiki too.
Catawiki DID NOT ACTIVATE even having signaled that it 's quite unbelievable that no one of the 100 lots on sale is marked 18 kt since "vintage jewelry" it's commonly collected from private market and it looks unpossible that all the so called "vintage jewels" do not have the 18kt stamp

Waiting for my reimbursement and the effect of the police report that I am going to file. Evaluate on your own. And give a look to the so called... jewelry...

I just bought my first item on Catawiki: 18 kt. Yellow gold - Earrings Blood Coral - Pearls... at 480 euros.
CISGEM experties confirmed my doubts: they are made of PLASTIC!
I am wandering who is the most responsible for cheating me, the seller or the Catawiki expert?
Moreover just keep in mind that Catawiki allows the sellers bidding over your offers and allows more and more minutes at the very end... whyyyyyy?
