I've been seeing a lot of replicas on this site lately. And the sellers have been LYING when asked about the authenticity. Whyyyyyy. We should be providing a safe environment for each other, not taking advantage and taking someone's hard earned money.
If you are unsure, ask. I don't know ALL things, but I will be happy to lend what expertise I may have and I think a lot of others would do the same.
I am very appreciative of the ladies and poshers that have come to my rescue. ??????

So frustrating. Just don't lie about it. There are too many scammers taking advantage of first time buyers looking for a special piece or present. 😧😠

I am guilty with selling inspired (all of which I had purchased off here) and I didn't know how terrible it is to buy and sell replicas until recent. I don't own any anymore but I always told my buyers they were inspired! Just be honest!

@aconroy17 that's why authenticating is more than whether or not it has the "correct" stamp, it is amount color/sheen of the metal, shape of the piece, types of clasps, jump rings, collections etc. I think a saw the law suit too (or a lawsuit out). Tiffany designs and re-designs a lot of pieces so sometimes people are looking for the wrong hallmarks in the wrong years, etc.

@jeslow I've seen that happen to a lot of people too. they honestly believed the piece was real. They had no reason not too. There is a girl on here selling pieces (claiming to be authentic) that is mixing collections. Paloma Picasso hearts with elsa peretti's signature, return to tiffany hearts with t&co 1837 on them .... LIKE really?!?! so to some people they look real because they have the "right" markings

@jeslow it sucks because there are some great deals on here too, but if the price is too low then people may think it is fake (and it could be real) and if the price is too high then no one can afford it. All because there are people intentionally scamming others (when they don't have to). AHHHHH it is driving me nuts. I had to vent. I just hate to see someone taken advantage of...

@aconroy17 yea I had seen this lawsuit. These people were not using "real" tiffany & co stamps. They were putting the words Tiffany & co, T&co etc on fake pieces and passing them on as it they were real tiffany pieces. So just like the fake pieces sold on this site, people are just creating fake tiffany and co plates and stamping the words on the fake jewelry.

@gcleopard7 I hope you were able to get your money back for those glasses... Tiffany never sold those, they use Austrian crystals not Swarovski crystals and that is not how their name would be printed on any of the glasses (they always come with case, cloth and sunglass pouch)

@cnt311 @kellyk0830 @jeslow Hi ladies. Hope you don't mind my jumping into this convo, but I too have noticed a big uptick in phony T & Co. pieces on PM over the last 10 days or so. It makes me mad, and I'm happy to read that I'm not alone. I think nearly everyone can be fooled-- some fakes are SO good-- but it's the people who make up totally bogus stories to "prove" that their item is authentic who really burn me up!!!!!!
Jun 17Reply

Last week someone listed a HORRIBLE-looking silver bracelet, claiming it was T & Co. IT SO OBVIOUSLY WAS NOT! This thing wasn't even trying to be "replica"-- it was a style never produced by T & Co. (at least not in the last, I dunno, 30 years) but rather a rip-off of the general aesthetic of the most mass-market popular Tiffany styles. Think hearts and links. Maybe some of you saw it too? I think the asking price was $125 or so.
Jun 17Reply
jneshops
Anyway, some poor Posher expressed interest in the bracelet and asked how the seller knew it was authentic. The seller proceeded to claim that she was SURE it was authentic because she had picked it out herself at Tiffany in NYC (I assume she was referring to the flagship, although that's not the only store in NYC but whatever she probably didn't even know that much!) EVERY SINGLE LINK on this item was VERY OBVIOUSLY pinched together (and not even very well, at that). EVERY. SINGLE. LINK!
Jun 17Reply
jneshops
The prospective buyer then made some comment about how excited she was to find the bracelet because she's a college student and can't afford the real thing (or something like that). Having been a broke-a## college student myself 15 years ago, I immediately felt so mad at the seller for lying and probably duping someone whose only mistakes were not knowing Tiffany stuff well enough to spot an obvious fake and being too trusting of a complete stranger on the internet.
Jun 17Reply
jneshops
This annoyed me and stuck in the back of my mind for several days until, finally, I decided I was going to leave a pointed comment on the listing-- not explicitly calling the seller out, but making it clear that the item was not authentic. But I wasn't able to find the listing. :( I just hope that the poor college student who thought she was getting such an awesome deal was clued in by someone and didn't end up purchasing that piece of junk.

Sorry this turned out to be such a diatribe! People who lie-- especially when motivated by greed-- and who purposely take advantage of others really get my goat. Anyway, I've been thinking of doing two things: 1. Listing T & Co. pieces that I have and pointing out the authenticating markers. Also, creating a listing with links to the best articles about how to authenticate that I found before I started buying Tiffany stuff a couple of months ago; and

Well, now I feel like I'm being rude by hijacking this post that is not even my own. Apologies to @cnt311 if this offends. Until I get a listing up in my closet, feel free to email me at jneshops (gmail) if you are interested in hearing my ideas on how to execute idea #2. Maybe I seem a bit nuts... I'm just mad!
Jun 17Reply

@jneshops don't feel bad for saying what you're saying. I use to get personally offended when someone would LIE about a replica. When I contacted posh, they told me not to engage with the lister and just report it but that never seems to help.
Jun 17Reply
jneshops
@cnt311 thx, glad you're not peeved about this rant appearing on your listing. I'm not surprised PM doesn't do much about this because they make money either way and right now at least business is good. If PM becomes known as the site where everything is fake and people stop buying, maybe then they'll do something!

Random, why are people so afraid of tarnish? Real silver tarnishes. If it doesn't then it isn't real! I like when pieces are tarnished and has patina. It's real and will only take 5 mins to make like new 😆, usually get it at a steal 💞

whenever I buy Tiffany, before accepting it I take it to a Tiffany store for authentification. @jneshops I think I saw that listing yesterday and even liked it. Will have to go back and look again. Let me know if you would like to know who the posher is.

Jun 25Reply
cnt311
@jneshops if the bracelet doesn't have a design on the outside, isn't ornate, or have a curved design, fur the most part they can resize it. They will not comprise the original design, so they won't size pieces with designs on it.

@lisamarie612 1st everybody can see every listing, sold or not. It was easy to see in the comments that she said it was authentic and it is not. 2nd anyone familiar with tiffany and take one look at that photo and see it is fake. Lastly Like i said I worked for the brand... Look i was just trying to help in time for you to cancel, because it looked like you thought you were getting an real tiffany necklace. Take it for what it is worth.
Jun 27Reply
cnt311
@lisamarie612 just a little advice though when buying online, ask someone you trust about it, google it, compare it to things on the tiffany site or old photos of when tiffany actually use to sell it. Look for hallmarks, style and printing consistency, etc. Sometimes people receive gifts and dont know their item is fake when they sell it. People use to come into the store with stuff bought on ebay all the time from people that were just takin their money.

@missattitude2 the hallmark is not the right print, the coloring is off... if it is a silver bracelet with a gold.. the heart would gold and the rest of the bracelet silver... it is just off. I wouldn't be sure without doing some research but first glance I would definitely pass on it.

@monarchlove even though you had purchased it, it was still in the available listings (just with a sold banner).

@monarchlove not many people know that. As employees we were told not to authenticate 2nd hand pieces and we were never trained to id or authenticate. So if your sales person is experienced and know the history of all the collections they can give their opinion. Some of the employees are temporary.
