Hi all, I just got my Sweet Alhambra onyx earrings in the mail from Gavivi today and wanted to write a quick review, as this was my first purchase with him.

Timeline:
5/5: Ordered and paid 30% deposit via PayPal FF (I love that he accepts PP)
5/14: PSPs ready. I had a question so I waited to approve the earrings until the next day
5/15: Approved and paid remainder of balance
5/16: Shipped
5/19: Arrived! Lightning fast!

So here's what I enjoyed most about buying from Gavivi, and why I likely will do so again:

- Good communication
- He accepts PayPal. I haven't jumped into using Wise, and I really don't want to.
- Good prices (typically not quite as good as Funny, who seems to be the lowest priced of all the major TS, but once you add shipping, the price difference is less stark, plus he includes insurance against seizure for an extra 5% which is fully refundable.)
- The timeline, omg, the timeline! 2 weeks from reaching out to him and I have my earrings in my ears right now, are you kidding me?! I absolutely hate the wait when I have packages coming, especially with all the recent stories about increased seizures. I've previously purchased from OpusAtelier, Funny, and Starsgem) and while they have great shipping that's relatively fast (7-12 days), Gavivi's 2-3 day shipping - which is free, no less - has spoiled me and it's literally a reason I would potentially choose him over other sellers if the price is pretty darn close.
- Most importantly, I'm very happy with the quality of the earrings themselves. The weight is good, the perlee beads are crisp, good engravings, I like his gold color better than Andy Chan's, and they are comfortable in the ear and feel luxe.

My one concern was whether or not the prongs were too long or rectangular, but I found pics of auths on Fashionphile and on youtube review videos, and I was able to see that, no, actually the auths are extremely similar. And once you get the earrings in person, they're so tiny that it's not magnified like it is in PSPs. I wear a ton of black, and I know I'm going to get a lot of use out of these!

I only snapped a few of my own pics, which aren't the best quality, because I was so excited to get these in my ears! I actually haven't been able to wear any earrings for years, due to pissy piercings, regardless of metal, so I went to a piercing studio a couple of months ago and got my piercings re-stretched and had them install titanium flatback studs, which I kept in 24/7 for the past couple of months so that I could start to wear regular earrings again. That's how bad I wanted these studs + to be able to wear earrings again in general! So happy right now!

Disclaimer: I get my 5% insurance fee back for writing a review, but this has no bearing on my opinion, as it can't be purchased, especially for so little $$!

**SALE IS PENDING. Buyer has paid a deposit with the remainder to follow next Thurs. If she does not complete the sale, then the necklace will be back up for grabs at that point**

US-to-US rehome! I am looking to sell my VCA 2016 Holiday pendant in 18k rose gold with onyx and lab diamond that I purchased as part of Opus Atelier's Christmas group buy. Worn only a handful of times. RFS: Want to buy another wishlist piece. You can see my previous review thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/JewelryReps/comments/1q5yfpd/review_opusatelier_vca_2016_holiday_pendant/

Price I paid: $928 all in to my door

Selling price: $900 + UPS shipping. Shipping will be insured + signature required. I'm not responsible after the package is shipped.

Payment Methods Accepted: Venmo FF, PayPal FF, Paypal G&S if you cover fees.

Note that Opus messed up and sent me PSPs with a different serial number than the one that actually ended up on my necklace. They acknowledged that they reused PSP pics and made a mistake in my case. I'm guessing they got overwhelmed with the holiday pendant group buy orders. Either way, it was frustrating, but you can reach out to Jack, who will confirm that I bought this pendant from him and that it's solid 18k gold. I took the necklace to a jeweler who is local to me (Christopher's Fine Jewelry in West Des Moines, IA), who XRF tested it and confirmed that it is 18k and real diamond. FWIW, the person who tested it totally thought it was auth lol (I'd said it was inherited so I didn't know).
