Comparisons of Authentic DY Chatelaine Pave Bezel Rings vs. Not. The insides of the band on authentic ones should be smooth, the cable doesn’t twist all the way through to the inside of the band. The stone is set lower on authentic ones too! Not to mention they cost $1,950 + new, sold for just under $500. Be careful :)

Great post
mimimarian
What is the ring size? One size certainly doesn’t fit all
danielad84
@mimimarian Listing is not for sale🤔
danielad84
@jodaniel77
God, the claw prongs on the fake ones look like those long sharp nails 😬
betsysue
@jodaniel77 👍 thank you for all your help and info!
betsysue
@jodaniel77 👍 thank you for all your help and info!
betsysue
@mimimarian It’s just a post showing authentic and fake, not a ring for sale 🙂
betsysue
@danielad84 Anything else I need to add? If I mark it as not for sale will it show up in the search or no?
danielad84
@betsysue
It wouldn't show.
It's good that way😊
betsysue
@danielad84 I know it- I thought the same thing! 😂😭 And I never would’ve noticed unless looking 😳😳😳🧐🧐🧐
danielad84
@betsysue
There is difference on the bottom of the shanks too. where the cables end.
betsysue
@danielad84 ok! I’ll add that!
danielad84
@betsysue
Did you notice it. that entire cable twist goes the opposite way actually that's why and the end of the cable is wrong at the bottom of the shank
betsysue
@danielad84 Hmm I’m trying to see what you mean- you mean the back of the band where maybe they would size it?
jodaniel77
@danielad84 @betsysue I almost bought a fake one for $1100, caught that it wasn’t smooth inside like in the pics and bought one at the Yurman store instead. I can’t get over the amount of fakes.
danielad84
@betsysue
Yes exactly. yu see how the cable shank end on the fake and how on the real one?
sorry -my English may be😬
not my mother tongue 😕
danielad84
@jodaniel77
Can you imagine they make much better $$ than us- sellers of authentic ones?
And I have seen fake DY to be sold on auction for more than its identical real one 😔
betsysue
@danielad84 No no it’s me 😳 If you knew how long it took me to notice the other little differences you’d laugh. When I first started looking all I knew was the smooth band thing- the others took me time to find.
betsysue
@jodaniel77 It’s really crazy, and they’re all so different. So someone might see another version of a fake, or older- and believe this is the real style. It’s like sorting through a puzzle trying to find examples!
betsysue
@danielad84 Gosh that’s crazy! Just figuring out what you mean!
danielad84
@betsysue
There are so many and different fakes . That's what I am also afraid of- for some people the better looking fakes would be considered real now.
betsysue
@danielad84 for sure. What do you think the percentage is on here fake vs. real? Definitely more fakes, but I wonder how many more!
danielad84
@betsysue
Currently may be 90% fakes or may be more 😔
danielad84
@betsysue
I used to get headache while searching on e bay before. Right now here is same ☹
betsysue
@danielad84 I’m sure. If it’s this frustrating to me I can only assume it’s 100x worse for actual DY sellers. I’m going to keep making posts, I know I won’t get all of them- but the more people know the better!
jodaniel77
@betsysue @danielad84 I was in San Diego years ago and stopped in this huge bead store/ custom jewelry . They guy wanted to take pics of my Yurman and I let him. The bracelet my mom bought fell apart by the time we got back to the hotel, so we went back the next day. A replica of the Yurman I was wearing was in the case. Also, remember when j crew knocked off the small gold and silver oval link necklace in 2007?
jodaniel77
Plus there is that Angel guy and blogs about what fake stuff on Amazon look real.
danielad84
@jodaniel77
☹
Sad !
I see very reputable jewelry brands that are having physical stores to deal with fake DY. 2 I know are listing on tradesy.
People buy with confidence- it's a brand store😔
betsysue
@danielad84 I’m gonna make a listing quick- your going to laugh. I’m not going to put a lot of time into to it, but it’s honestly LAUGHABLE.
jodaniel77
@danielad84 what about that bracelet highlighted that it was fake?
danielad84
@jodaniel77
The "candy"? it's super common fake
danielad84
@jodaniel77
It will not surprise me if it pass Posh Authentication. I have seen fee 20mm albion pink tourmaline rings to pass it 🙈
So obviously fakes.
jodaniel77
@danielad84 got it, all her other Yurman was fake. I own one candy that I bought from the real real, should I be concerned that it could be fake?
danielad84
@jodaniel77
I wouldn't be.
I have seen only 2 fakes for all these years on TRR .
But if you want to have it checked you can email me photos whenever you have a moment.
betsysue
@jodaniel77 When you go down her sold sales it already sold for $550- must’ve been returned after not passing authentication - the candy one.
jodaniel77
@betsysue all the other Yurman pieces in her closet are def fakes.
betsysue
@jodaniel77 yep. If you guys show me the differences in authentic to fake I’ll gladly make a listing! 😁😂
betsysue
@dawnsimpson_ hey! I couldn’t message you anymore- she had blocked me 🙄 The whole thing just sucks. Vintage_Jewel is selling the same crap- same Albion rings. It’s so hard to watch 😖😔😔😔
dawnsimpson_
@betsysue it really does suck. I don’t believe her though because she immediately deleted my first few comments after I realized it was fake. Then she finally responded but keeps saying I’m rude lol. I think she knew and is now trying to play dumb because she won’t say where she bought it. I really thought I could trust her and got a good deal but it’s a first that I have been scammed on here. Really ruined my night. How do people like her sleep at night?
betsysue
@dawnsimpson_ I’m telling you- I wonder the same thing. Blocking comments and not just handling the situation like an adult is just bad news. I have 3 fake rings sitting in my jewelry box because the same happened to me- hence the reason for these posts. It drives me CRAZY.
dawnsimpson_
@betsysue I know it does. Poshmark needs to enforce this better!
jodaniel77
@danielad84 are the David Yurman certification cards that I always see on here fake, right? I have never received one from Yurman.
danielad84
@jodaniel77
They aren't fake, they are real but not given in DY.
Actually those are given to the buyers of DY authorized retailers like NM , Bloomingdales and Northstrom.
You can easily purchase them online for cents each😕
danielad84
@jodaniel77
And that certificate of authenticity is nothing when it's empty.
It should be filled in with the style Number and date of purchase. Also store stamp to show where it was purchased.
I have few pieces that came with those.
danielad84
@jodaniel77
Will send you photos of them in email.
jodaniel77
@danielad84 thanks, always thought they were fake.
betsysue
@jodaniel77 I have gotten a few pieces that came with blank cards 😔 Daniela even confirmed last night that one of my absolute favorite rings- have had for years isn’t real. They need more help on here about tools to watch for.
dawnsimpson_
@betsysue I heard back from Poshmark. They want pictures of the ring that show why I don’t think it’s authentic. They are willing to work with me even though I already paid. My phone doesn’t take great pics but could you tell me which areas I need to photograph and point out. Could even use her pics if you see it there. Thanks so much ladies!
betsysue
@dawnsimpson_ that is great news! Let’s ask @danielad84 for her help, other than the inside of the ring is off I’m sure there is more you photograph! I’m so glad to hear that!!
danielad84
@dawnsimpson_
Take comparison photos side to side with your authentic ring - if you have the exact same 11mm . Stamp, the inner part of tge shank and everything different that you see in the ring.
For me the stone color is also off. It's not suppose to be that dark.
dawnsimpson_
@betsysue thank you! I originally sent pics but just said the inside is smooth. I know the cable part doesn’t continue and they do not form the chevron. They go in the same direction. I don’t know about the setting. There are a lot of fakes on here it appears so I need to go to DY website but I know they do change things too. So I want to be accurate in my descriptions and pics.
danielad84
@dawnsimpson_
The cable twist is also too different from the authentic one
danielad84
@dawnsimpson_
You can't get much of info from.the DY website because the albion was completely changed.
I can tag you on a new and old version of the ring. That shouldn't in general confuse you of being fake. the twisted cable shank of the old style wasn't going the same way 😊
danielad84
@dawnsimpson_
The ring that you purchased is a fake of the old style Albion, not of tje new one. So better compare it to the old style.
dawnsimpson_
@danielad84 The ring I have is larger and not a stone. It’s the cable and has diamonds around it. It was about $1200 years ago but they no longer make it. And it’s a substantially heavier ring. I am at my mothers but will drive home and get it later today. She has been sick so helping her recover. But it’s not the Albion ring.
dawnsimpson_
@danielad84 ok thank you. I will screenshot the one you tag me in. Then try to take a good pic to show. Thank you!!
betsysue
@dawnsimpson_ I added a few pics to this listing- circling the bigger things I see- check please @danielad84 😂 But I do see the difference in the cable now too.
dawnsimpson_
@betsysue I see one pic. Maybe I need to close and reopen app
betsysue
@dawnsimpson_ yes maybe try that- the last one is what you bought, the second to last is a real one off FashionPhile!
danielad84
@betsysue
Correct🖖
betsysue
@danielad84 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
danielad84
@jodaniel77
You are welcome!
Normal- when you have never seen them.
dawnsimpson_
@betsysue thank you both so much. I think I could use her picture and show it. The cable part is not as clear to me as the inside is
betsysue
@dawnsimpson_ 👍👍👍
danielad84
@betsysue
BTW, wanted to tell you for the Chatelaine rings- the ones without diamond bezel are actually with 3 diamonds on the claw prongs (11,14 and 20mm)
The ones that are with diamond bezel around the stones are with 2 diamonds on the claw prongs.
betsysue
@danielad84 ahhhhh ok! I’ll fix this one- maybe just redo the whole thing! I’ll find one of each of the sizes and look for that!
jodaniel77
@danielad84 what about those pave diamond Albion rings that are 1” x 1”. What should the older ones look like?
danielad84
@jodaniel77
you are asking me for the ring that you traded ?
danielad84
@jodaniel77
The older ones have to have the size of the ring stamped in. This you wouldn't find in the fakes
Does your one have it ?
danielad84
@jodaniel77
I see one on E bay with black and white diamonds that I know it's authentic but the stamps are almost worn off. so it wouldn't give you much of idea of what to look for😕
Still, will share the link through email
jodaniel77
@danielad84 yes, the one that sold for $1k. It passed Poshmark when I bought/traded for it, Yurman thought it was real, the diamonds are real, but she bought that ring from someone else and that person has a piece of fake Yurman in their closet. I’ll tag you in the original sale.
danielad84
@jodaniel77
The ring on her finger modeling it in the listing looks authentic to me but the rest of the photos are of fake that is still listed on e. bay
danielad84
@jodaniel77
I had the 20mm Pave diamonds in solid 18k gold. I sold it for $2500 through p.p 😔
I am still sick of what I did.
jodaniel77
@danielad84 it’s definitely the ring she is wearing. The odd thing about it is that it’s solid, no under exposure, but why use real diamonds on a fake? I took it to a jeweler immediately and then shipped to Yurman.
danielad84
@jodaniel77
Most fakes are with real diamonds and stones.
They are small and very cheap.
You can buy genuine 1mm diamond for around $5 . In other countries for less than that.
jodaniel77
@danielad84 that person got a deal!!! One of the Yurman guys offered me $2k for this sterling version.
danielad84
@jodaniel77
Is it completely solid ? no small cuts in the metal underneath at all?😳
danielad84
@jodaniel77
I know they used to make the men's statement Pave diamond rings with 15mm center solid but never seen a 20mm one
jodaniel77
@danielad84 the diamonds look as good as my matching enhancer that came from the Yurman store. I don’t have it with me, but I don’t think it has cuts.
jodaniel77
@danielad84 they for sure made the men’s ring in the 20mm white gold, that one I’ve seen on a Yurman person. I’ll send you pics later this week.
danielad84
@jodaniel77
Diamonds can look good to the eye but they are different under magnifying glass.
The pave ones you can mostly recognize them from the prongs size and the setting.
please send me photo of the ring if you ever have a chance. No additional stamps other than the circle DY logo and D.Y. 925 ?
danielad84
@jodaniel77
That's what I actually had in mine. May he it's solid because it's men's ring. which actually shouldn't bother you at all. They are absolutely same . Only different underneath.
jodaniel77
@danielad84 I think it had a happy face
danielad84
@jodaniel77
No fake would have that !
Many of my vintage Yurman would carry that stamp.
jodaniel77
@danielad84 that makes me feel better!
danielad84
@jodaniel77
Wanted to ask you.
Do you know since how long your contact in Yurman is working for them?.
The reason to ask is because I have one vantage men's enhancer that I know nothing about it and can't find details on Google about it too. I know it's authentic but just need to know more about it like- TCW , last retail price and style name. I know the collection but that's all.
danielad84
@jodaniel77
I am in contact with one of the outlet representatives in TX and she is there since more than 11 years and she couldn't find anything about it in the data base. She remembered the piece from back then but nothing else ☹
jodaniel77
@danielad84 longer than that for sure, the crew in the vegas store has been together since it opened, send me pics and I’ll ask him.
danielad84
@jodaniel77
That's so kind of you - thank you ! 😊
Will email now
jodaniel77
@danielad84 we talk on Sunday’s most weeks, so I’ll let you know what he says. What do you clean your Yurman with?
danielad84
@jodaniel77
Thanks !
Different - depends on the piece.
what are you planning to clean?
jodaniel77
@danielad84 a diamond and topaz enhancer, just noticed it is super dirty compared to the matching ring
danielad84
@jodaniel77
It's not moonlight ice, right? no darkening ?
if so , you can try the JSP Silver cleaner or the baking soda aluminum foil with hot water cleaning very quick.
The topaz,onyx, citrine, amethyst, smoky quartz, garnet ,tourmaline are ok with the hot water.
But not and the pearl, opal , turquoise, white agate,green onyx,chalcedony, rose quartz and carnelian or prasiolite.
For rose quartz and prasiolite- if you could act quickly (4-5seconds) it wouldn't harm them much.
danielad84
@jodaniel77
For darkened jewelry only polishing cloth
or rub baking soda to the tarnished area only and rinse.
danielad84
@jodaniel77
Is the back of the enhancer complete close?
jodaniel77
@danielad84 no, it’s really old. It’s from the cerise collection and has the typical back with the openings. I wear it the summer and clearly sweat and the ring isn’t comfortable so I never wear it.
danielad84
@jodaniel77
That's absolutely safe to clean with the baking soda, aluminum foil and hot water then.
The reason I asked is because solution may remain trapped between the stone and the back of the enhancer and might not be possible to ever clean it that would leave the stone cloudy and dirty dirty the inside if the back is closed. Then only way is to remove the back in order to have it cleaned.
jodaniel77
@danielad84 worked perfectly, thanks!
danielad84
@jodaniel77
Most welcome!
betsysue
@jackiepoller225 - here are some good comparisons too! 👏🏻
betsysue
@brownblonde Here are some comparisons of authentic DY Cushion on Point rings and fake ones- the differences are pretty clear when you can compare to a real one :) Even the stone on that one is set way to high!
jackiepoller225
thank you
betsysue
@jackiepoller225 ❤️👍 Don’t be me 😭 Lots of $ wrapped up in fakes 😳☹️
marushkaushka
@betsysue @jodaniel77 @danielad84 👋 I just read your posts and it really makes me feel very sad that people are dishonest. They go through such lengths to make lots of money by scamming innocent customers. As Betsy knows, I was a victim of the scum and now own one fake Wheaton and one eternity necklace. Just want to thank you 🙏 for being honest and trying to protect people like me from making mistakes and spending money on fake stuff. Appreciate your help! You guys Rock!
Sincerely, Marushka.
catlovers4
Thank you very much!
betsysue
@marushkaushka ❤️❤️ most of us are in the same boat! All still learning!!
betsysue
@catlovers4 👍 absolutely! I had a lot more posts up but Posh took them down ☹️ Stinks!!
marushkaushka
@betsysue I am getting better. I am learning from you and Daniela! It is a full time job to sort out fakes from reals. I think we should get jobs and be 🕵️♀️ PIs for PM. Lol.
I am getting better with LV bags and Cartier rings now.
betsysue
@marushkaushka I agree!! I would do it for free!!! Just to save people the heartache of learning their $ went to crap jewelry!! I cannot even imagine trying to learn about the other brands- I’m struggling with DY as it is!! So far it’s been my main addiction 😂😂
marushkaushka
@betsysue I hear you Betsy! My question is how are reliable the experts at PM. I read lots of stories here that some LV fake bags were authenticated as real. I am not sure if it is true but I really hope that the experts at PM know what they are doing. May be they should start to authenticate items starting at $ 200 and up because most fake DY priced within this range.
danielad84
@marushkaushka
Not sure about LV bags but I have seen some very noticeable DY fakes to pass posh authentication too😔
marushkaushka
@danielad84 Thanks Daniela! Good to know! Well…now we have two choices: buy original goods directly from the certified retailers or educate ourselves to be better in recognizing counterfeits.
Until our next adventure on PM! Have a great day Ladies!
danielad84
@marushkaushka
Most welcome!
Better education 😁
retail is sinful😅
marushkaushka
@danielad84 😂 education it is. I loooove a good deals on the real pieces of jewelry!

Watch out for the brand new looking $268 cable bracelet with pave rectangle in center. I see two are still up. When I questioned poster and pointed out different posters are using same photos and exact same text, they took listing down and reposted under another name. Please explain how they change the shipping address to make it look like you received the item.
betsysue
@lk51916 Ugh 😡 They are constantly doing that- I haven’t gotten into as much as I did when making these posts, Poshmark kept taking them down so I just gave up. From what I understand- and I don’t know if it’s correct or not, they alter the labels somehow. If the buyer doesn’t know that they only have 3 days to dispute delivery their funds get released!
betsysue
@lk51916 One girl on here actually received an item she did not purchase- it looked like a Poshmark label but when she compared a real one it was slightly different, and the box only contained like a mask or just something completely odd. I read that all these packages are coming out of an address in like Texas or something?

This is a great post!! I thought I was learning about the Albion but it seems to have changed and so that is even more confusing. Could I send you pics of listing to see if you can determine real or fake?
betsysue
@tcmillrr Sure! I’m definitely not a professional but have gotten better at spotting them for sure 👍
tcmillrr
@betsysue where should I send them?
mah614
I so appreciate all the time you took/ take to compare real and fake DY. There are MANY fakes here and on Mec@r¡ I bought one and took it to a jewelry shop. They verified 18k yellow gold & .925 silver and 30 days later the gold rubbed off! They got the girl off the platform, but chastised me for waiting to request a refund. Dishonesty is repulsive! 🤬
Thank you again for being HONEST!
moulonrouge1011
@betsysue thank you for posting this. I’ve been thinking of getting my daughter one of these rings for graduation gift and needed some guidance so I really appreciate this post.
betsysue
@moulonrouge1011 I’m so glad I could help! It is too bad there are so many out there but I’ve gotten some good deals on here- after doing much research! That would be a wonderful graduation gift!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Is this the same model that was sold at Costco?

@mlstill79 Hi! I have no idea, I was unaware Costco sold any designer jewelry. Replica or otherwise! Sorry!
