I was hoping there was links to the jewelry that turned out to be real that you tested... great video though very interesting 💙💛❤💚💜
Its ALL JUNK
Sorry I missed the live congratulations Laura. Both of you ladies have a wonderful holiday 👍💜🎄
You get what you pay for 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
I love temu jewelry ❤
Silver is getting more expensive so that might be why they are now fake
I thought everything will be fake,so Im kind of surprised 😊
I gave ordered various pieces of jewelry from Temu. Some real , some not. Ordered a supposed sterling silver bracelet turned my arm green . Most pieces are not even stamped with 925. They sell bracelets that are supposedly SS but they send the 999 which is very soft & had a cuff while adjusting it snapped in half . You chance it at Temu . Thank you Laura etc for this informative upload ! 😊
TY for doing this & my fave was the poor 🐉 lol
Buy a 🧲 magnet! Silver and gold won’t stick to it!
It's fake, we know they are just trinkets, we don't care,
Thank you!!! I’m meeting my future in laws and didn’t know what to get them. Now I know. A beautiful Xmas ornament.
Yay! So glad you were inspired and have a solution now! Enjoy your holidays!
I got a mosinite ring from them and the silver is real and so is the gem but they fall out of the sets very easy
I love red jasper
Your tank looks great. I purchased from a place called Bella's online. They claim their jewellery is stamped 925. And that is true. The fake jewellery does have 925 stamped on it. The mark of Sterling silver. Liars liars liars.
Even if it is fake you can make it shine with the right jewelry cleaner. Just make sure that the stones are held in place with prongs before using the jewelry cleaner.
No they don't
I have just been believing they are silver if they have 925 printed inside the ring
I believe it is because I cannot wear fake jewelry. I break out and I have a trolling silver ring from them and I’ve had it eight months now and it’s fine.
I shopped JTV from the beginning but noticed just recently the quality is just not there anymore.
Im surprised any of them were real
Temu intentionally operates at a loss. It is a subsidiary of a much larger Chinese corporation. It sells cheap crap at very low prices that actually increases the parent company’s market share, which is where the real money is made. The more product that Temu sells the bigger the market share. It’s similar to all the AI generated “artwork, videos, and photographs” that are posted on social media sites as being created by traditional means. The social media algorithms do not differentiate between positive and negative reactions, shares and comments, so any interaction with the post improves that posts standing in the algorithm and more of those types of post will be seen. Temu just needs people to buy from their platform so the market thinks they are relevant.
I hate all the shiny plated "925" or "s925" rings out there. I paid 40 for one with mystic topaz for a friend and not too long after, it turned her finger blue :/
blue?? that's a new one, usually I hear green. Sorry you got ripped off :(
uh now i wanna test mine who are from temu. i bought them thinking they were fake. maybe they are real.
Interesting video, thank you. Helping small businesses is great, but most of us can't afford to do so. I have a lot of jewelry pieces from Temu. I have lots of rings that I've wore in the shower and worn while washing dishes that have never faded or turned my fingers green. I have seen stuff on Temu for a couple of dollars that's $30 and $40 on Etsy, so I'll definitely buy from Temu. Sterling is nice, but I've grown to appreciate stainless steel to.
Honestly I breakout from some metals and I have been buying most of my jewelry from Shein and Temu n i don't break out no green marks or anything
Choice seller just means it delivers faster. Nothing to do with the quality of the product.
I had no idea, thanks for the explanation!
I am escaping Christmas this year 😊 going to be away Christmas Day 🎄 something different for a change. 🌸🌼🌸Maria
Ohhh what are you doing?? I've heard of people going on cruises as a family instead. I always thought something like that could be fun...maybe when the kids are older!
@ yes going on a cruise around the bottom of Australia, leaving this Saturday from Sydney. 😊can’t wait back in NZ on 26th. Back at work on the 27th.
Great ideas ladies! I'm lucky though, my family is small, no one drinks, we have no manners because we are old school country folk LoL andwe are usually broke so gifts aren't an issue😂😂😂😂😂
you're one of the lucky ones! :P
@ lol 💜
Looks okay but I love the red bear!
Why is anyone surprised about fake silver? 😮
Temu makes their money by collecting and selling your information. Who you are, what you buy, where you live, your email, etc. They practically give stuff away just to get your information. Also, Temu steals intellectual property and recreates them - selling pennies on the dollar. I know several artists who have had their designs stolen from Etsy and reproduced. The Temu picture was HER picture, HER hands. Temu sends reps out to shows to photograph artist works with intent to steal.
Do u recycle yr sterling silver?
Easiest way for me to tell if jewellery is not Sterling Silver.... with in a few days my fingers' where the ring is starts to go back.
A great holiday project for the whole family best part is that you can eat it. Great job kiddos and Laura and hubby too. 👋👍💜🎄
Yup! This is one of the traditions we started as a family. My husband and I never made them before a few years ago! We actually leave it up for Christmas and Santa nibbles on it…And has a tough time with how stale it all is by then 😂
I would buy for no more than 25.
Yes it is blue
That’s a loaded gingerbread house!!😂 yum!
😂 it wasn’t even done yet by this point. They boys dumped more on top lol
@ haha boys!!
Awww lol but those sour gummy worms are the best!
Only the best candy for our house! 😂 probably a 50-50 ratio for what’s on the house vs. What was eaten lol
That bear is not amethyst it is a druzy agate and why did u buy stuff from temu if they sell ur information and the app is shady also most crystals especially carvings from from china so im not sure why everyone is always talking abt china crystals being fake. Your more likely to get fake crystals here in the US
you should do a giveaway
Very helpful video, Thank you.
I dont understand why anyone want to buy from temu or online store specially if the price is super cheap, isnt it suspicious?? Just go to gold store or diamond store, in here u can sell them back to the store if you're bored and want to change another model or want to get the money back (ofc the price will be cut off for some fee) As i have very sensitive skin, i will never buy fake jewellery, my skin would itch and turned green
For the very cheap prices you pay on Temu I would never expect it to be real sterling silver and anyone that does expect it for those cheap prices are delusional. Sorry but you get what you pay for.
Temu knows your nane and send you the real shit lmao. Weve all seen how they steal data, maybe its a conspiiiiiiiwacyyy
Yup !!!! Silver is not cheap like gold it holds value. Alot of custume garbage people are selling as well as turquoise that is howlite and dyed.
Actually, there is a city in China that has been famous for centuries for mining crystals. "With the largest reserves of crystal in China, Donghai County, Lianyungang has the reputation of 'County of Crystal'. Crystal here comes in various colors - yellow, pink, violet and light brown as well as intriguing textures such as water droplets, hairs or plants. Crystal is made into products such as crystal ware, crystal jewelry, crystal sculptures and so on. These pure clear crystal products make a great choice purchase when shopping in Lianyungang."
Have you ever tested previous stones??
Congratulations on finding out it’s a boy 🤗🥰🌸🌼🌸Maria
🤔🤔🤔🤷🏼♀️
@ sorry did I miss hear, my problem listening while working, my bad 😆 oh I tried to email you a Christmas card , but it was returned by the internet, I think your email provider thought it was scam 😢 Maria
Het sweetheart, ty for shipping so fast, im like a kid 🤣🤣 love you hun. Take care of yourself and that little one 💜💜💜💜💜
Ahhh this makes me happy!
