Seller Review:
VERY easy to work with and insanely patient. I asked a million questions and had to adjust my sizing at one point (my measuring tape was wrong) and he patiently worked with me. I swear he never sleeps because my questions were always answered no matter what time of the day it was. Along with great communication, he was knowledgeable. He provided excellent recommendations on sizing. Willing to provide any additional pictures from past work which I really appreciated. I’m usually an anxious person, especially with the money I was dropping and just truly trusting the process. However, he was reassuring and I’m so glad I decided to work with him over the other jewelers on this sub because I really value quality pieces and great customer service.

Jewelry Review:

I can’t fully speak to accuracy as I don’t own any of these pieces from the company’s that it was inspired by. From what I could analyze through photos, it looks pretty darn accurate.

I can speak on the quality as I am a huge jewelry lover and own many pieces ranging from different levels of quality. The pieces are extremely sturdy and very well made. The soldering, polishing, finishing edge refinement is excellent! The hinge on my bracelet are smooth and clips seamless without being too tight or loose. The design on my ring is perfectly set and symmetrical. Each piece seems to be very well done. The photos honestly do not do these pieces justice. The diamonds are absolutely blinding in person and sparkle an insane amount once they hit the light.

Summary:
Overall I would recommend reaching out to Caratsky and working with them. I reached out to a couple of other popular sellers and Caratsky made me feel the most comfortable. The overall quality is sturdy and for pieces are absolutely beautiful.
However, please always do your own research. There are plenty of information out there. My goal is to let readers know my experience and opinion; however, please do not go solely on my one post.

Disclaimers:
This is my first day wearing it as I just received it. I am pretty rough on my jewelry so will update this post if the jewelry doesn’t hold up to my chaos.

Lastly, Caratsky did let me know if I post a review I would get the cost of my insurance back. It did not sway my opinion in any way, but as I mentioned above, do your own research!

I would love to hear everyone’s opinion on my PSP before I GL it. I’m excited so I could be missing something. It’s late here so I probably should QC tomorrow lol

What I truly care about is over all shape, hardware, leather and glazing. I feel like the stamps are never perfect but let me know if it looks too wonky.

Kelly/Birkin Reps - How Are They Holding Up After 1+ Years?

Ladies with H reps (especially Kellys and Birkins) that you’ve owned for 1+ years and actually use regularly… how are they holding up?

I have a few authentic bags already, but I’m thinking about sprinkling some reps into my collection for styles/colors that are more “nice to have” versus everyday neutrals I constantly reach for.

How has the leather, hardware, shape, glazing and stitching held up over time? Any regrets or surprisingly good experiences?

Would also love to know which sellers/factories you bought from. Show me your babies 👀 👜

Sorry if you seen this post a few times in other groups! Just trying to get answers.
