Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this for my 89 year old grandmother to wear to church. She loves roses and has a large collection of broaches so i thought this would be a nice simple addition. The silver part of the pin is beautiful, antique looking and very pretty. However the amber portion of the pin is a bit cheap and plastic looking. I have bought "real" amber jewelery from other places and it does NOT look like this pin. They obviously used some creative lighting or back lighting when taking the picture of the pin for the amazon.com ad. In real life the rose bud looks plastic and a little cheap. I'm going to go ahead and give it to my grandma as she is almost totally blind so she probably won't notice the difference, but after reading all the positive reviews on here about this pin i expected something a little nicer.
P.S. i recently spoke with a co-worker of mine who has had extensive experience with gemstones and jewelery and she did inform me that some jewelers will sell amber powder in resin and call it genuine amber. This would attribute to the plastic look of the piece. The company did email me about my review and told me if i wanted to test the amber i could burn it with a match or lighter and if it melts its fake and if not then its considered real. But i already needed to give the gift to my family member this week, i did not have time to wait for a replacement. I went ahead and gave the gift as planned. But you have been forewarned this is not the best quality amber.
PSS: As of 11-26-10 I have contacted Amazon and filed a complaint against this seller as they have harassed me over my product review. Apparently since they offered a free replacement and 1 day shipping that is supposed to make me edit or change my review. Beware this seller, My review is my opinion of the product and as such will not be changed just because you offer me a free 2nd sub-par pin and 1 day shipping. As amazon customers our product reviews are our opinions and we are entitled to them. I don't appreciate being harassed by a marketplace seller because they simply "don't like" what i have to say about their product. I have been an Amazon.com customer for a long time and have spent thousands of dollars with them over the years. Be warned this seller only likes you if you give them 5 stars and don't question the quality of their product!! Also an Amazon rep has emailed me to let me know it is a VIOLATION of the marketplace rules for a seller to ask a customer to change or remove a review. This seller is obviously in the wrong and i expect Amazon to deal with it accordingly..
