Maintaining weight is a personal win too!

Maintaining weight is a personal win too!

Weight loss is such a struggle but sometimes just maintaining is just as much as the effort. I’m soon to be 41 and it’s been a struggle to stay consistent on a deficit to lose weight. My little personal win is that I actually maintained my weight this year with all the stress I’ve had. I’ve never did that lol. Maintaining what you did with all life’s up and downs is personal win. That part is important too. Let’s give ourselves some grace.

A whopping 1 lbs weight loss in 3 and 1/2 weeks.

Eating 1400-1500 calories a day and walking 10k-12k steps 5-6 days a week. In almost 41 and just too damn tired and hungry to go lower on calories.

Warning! Do not Buy Bochelli jewelry from eBay.

I’m posting this as a warning to anyone considering buying this jewelry on eBay.

I purchased multiple pieces that were advertised as solid 14K gold. I trusted the listings and spent a significant amount of money with this seller. I later had the jewelry independently tested, and the results showed that the pieces were not solid 14K gold as advertised. Other customers have also tested their jewelry and reported similar results.

I have kept my original listings, order confirmations, payment records, photos, emails and testing documentation.
The seller has been contacted regarding refunds, but my attempts to resolve the issue have not been successful. The original website/product information has also changed or disappeared, while the jewelry is still being offered for sale online.

There are now multiple customers discussing this on TikTok and posting their own jewelry and testing results. Search “Bochelli Jewelry” on TikTok.

If you have purchased from this seller, I strongly recommend having the jewelry independently tested before assuming it is solid 14K gold. Save screenshots of the listing before it disappears or changes.
Please research this seller carefully before purchasing. DO NOT BUY based solely on the “solid 14K gold” description.

DENVER/COLORADO BUYERS -WARNING: DO NOT BUY BOCCHELLI JEWELRY

I’m posting this because I do not want anyone else losing money to this company.

I was a repeat customer and purchased multiple pieces from Bochelli that were advertised as solid 14K gold. I later had my jewelry independently tested, and the results showed the pieces were not solid 14K gold as advertised. Other customers have also tested their jewelry and reported similar results.
The company has been contacted for refunds, but customers have reported being ignored. The original website/product information has also been changed or removed, while Bochelli jewelry is still being sold on eBay.

The official Colorado Secretary of State records list Gail J. Webb as the registrant of the Bochelli Jewelry trade name. I’m attaching the official record so people can verify it themselves.
Colorado Secretary of State business search:
https://www.coloradosos.gov/biz/BusinessFunctions.do

Older public records also connect Gail Webb with Premiere Persian Rugs/Blast from the Past in Loveland, and older local reporting describes her as an online seller with a long history involving eBay and Craigslist.
This is also getting attention on TikTok. Search “Bochelli Jewelry” to see customers posting their experiences and testing results.

If you purchased from Bochelli, save your original listings, receipts, emails, photos, screenshots and testing results.
You can report your experience to:
FBI IC3: https://www.ic3.gov/
FTC: https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/
Colorado AG: https://coag.gov/file-complaint/
Colorado CBI: https://cbi.colorado.gov/
BBB Scam Tracker: https://www.bbb.org/scamtracker/reportscam
Colorado buyers — please do your research before buying. DO NOT BUY based solely on a seller’s claim that the jewelry is solid 14K gold.

Buyer beware!! Bochelli jewelry sells fake gold

I’m posting this to warn other eBay buyers. I was a repeat Bochelli customer and purchased multiple pieces advertised as **14K SOLID GOLD**. I later had my jewelry independently tested, and the pieces tested were **not solid 14K gold as advertised**. The beads tested as plated material while the lobster clasp tested as 14K gold. Other customers have independently tested their jewelry and reported similar results.

Bochelli’s website has also been changed/cleaned up, and my attempts to get a refund have been ignored. The owner is still selling Bochelli jewelry on eBay, so I want buyers to be aware of what is happening.

I also verified the business through the **official Colorado Secretary of State database**. The public record lists **Gail J. Webb as the registrant of Bochelli Jewelry**. I’m including a screenshot of the official record with this post.
You can verify it yourself here:
**Colorado Secretary of State Business Search:**
[https://www.coloradosos.gov/biz/BusinessFunctions.do\](https://www.coloradosos.gov/biz/BusinessFunctions.do)

If you purchased Bochelli jewelry, save your original listing, receipts, emails, photos, screenshots and any independent testing results. **Do not assume the jewelry is solid gold simply because it is stamped 14K. Get it tested.**
If you believe you were misled, you can report it to:
**FBI IC3:** [https://www.ic3.gov\](https://www.ic3.gov/)
**FTC:** [https://reportfraud.ftc.gov\](https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/)
**Colorado Attorney General:** [https://coag.gov/file-complaint/\](https://coag.gov/file-complaint/)
**Colorado Bureau of Investigation:** [https://cbi.colorado.gov\](https://cbi.colorado.gov/)
**Sterling Police:** [https://www.sterlingcolo.com/police\](https://www.sterlingcolo.com/police)
There are also other customers posting their testing results and experiences on TikTok. It’s blowing up! Search **“Bochelli Jewelry”** and look at the recent posts.
**DO NOT BUY until you do your own research and have the jewelry independently tested.**

Buyer Beware: My Experience with Bochelli Jewelry’s “Solid 14K Gold”

Before purchasing from Bochelli Jewelry, I strongly encourage you to do your research. Please don’t buy.
I purchased multiple pieces from this company after they were advertised as solid 14K gold. I have retained copies of every order, payment receipt email, and some screenshots of the original product listings showing how these items were marketed (thankfully I was smart enough to do this part smh.)

I later had my jewelry independently tested, and the results showed it was not solid 14K gold as advertised. It was gold plated and the lobster clasp only was 14k gold. I have sent emails for a requested a refund, but the company has failed to resolve the matter by ignoring me and others.

As a result, I am pursuing every available consumer protection remedy, including complaints with the Better Business Bureau, the Colorado Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and disputes through my payment provider. I have saved all documentation and evidence.

Before spending your money, search “Bochelli Jewelry” on TikTok, a bit of eBay…
