Hi everyone!
Please let me know if there is any flaws, Appreciate help if to GL or RL please.
Once again I’m very happy with gavivi’s work.
He is a seller I trust and he is super easy to talk to.
Timeline
Ordered July 17
Price: $672 including insurance. Used my insurance credit to partially pay for these earrings
Earrings were complete by July 30th
Shipping took about 4 business days
Already thinking of next purchase :)
A ring, bracelet, necklace, or earrings?
I’m curious what everyone considers their ultimate everyday piece the one you’d still wear even if the rest of your collection disappeared
I’m making my first purchase from a China-based seller and I’m trying to figure out the easiest way to pay from the US.
I’ve run into some issues with Alipay, and the other options the seller offered aren’t very clear to me.
For those of you in the US who have bought from Chinese sellers, what method did you use? I’d especially appreciate hearing about methods that worked smoothly for you.
Juc classic yellow gold size 18
Weight promised at least 33.5-34g, actual QC 33.02g.
Auth weight seems to be more than 34-35g?
Width measured 3.42mm slight difference from auth 3.5mm.
How about Hallmark engraving of serial?
Appreciate help if to GL or RL please
Hello all, I received a my second knot bracelet a few weeks ago and just dropping a quick review.
full disclosure - I will receive 2% off my next purchase with him for leaving this but the opinions stated are 100% my own
This is my second order for the same bracelet - the first one I received from him back in April and loved it. I placed this second identical order for my mom since she also liked mine.
Timeline:
6/10/26 - order placed with 30% deposit sent
6/24/26 - PSPs received. I asked for more videos & pictures
6/29/26 - remaining payment sent
6/30/26 - tracking number received
7/2/26 - bracelet received
I paid a total of $2420 for 18k & natural diamonds, in a size 15
Overall I’m very happy with the bracelet and am in the process of ordering a serpenti necklace with him now.
He is easy to work with and very responsive.
Highly recommend!
Hi everyone!
I decided to order a Tiff hardwear microlink bracelet in rose gold through Funny as I’ve only read stellar reviews about her pieces and the general community seems to trust her a lot.
As this is my first time buying rep jewellery, I would really appreciate if any others can weigh in on the QA process.
Please let me know what you think and thanks in advance! :)
Disclaimer: I am posting this review for my insurance refund (not sure who wouldn’t post a review for that). You can also place the refund as a credit towards something else. This review is 100% my honest opinion! I also waited to post a review due to wanting to see how the bracelet held up in the shower, out-and-about, etc. So far so good!
Most Important Details:
18KT Gold Small Love Bracelet
-Ordered on Monday, July 20th and sent 30% deposit, $830 (gold was very cheap this month—I believe in the high 90s (like $97)).
-Anxiously awaited the QC photos—August 6th received photos
—Was about to contact him if I didn’t hear from him in the next 4 days—obviously after the date that he told me production takes (production time takes 12-15 days after the deposit has been sent)
-Paid final payment through PayPal ($1,947.50)
Total: $2,782.50 (this included insurance)
-Delivered August 10th
Contact:
Gavivi does have a website and the last four numbers of his WhatsApp is 5650. The website has their phone number.
Background if you Care to Read:
Hi! So, this is my first rep, and ChatGPT helped quite a bit on if reps are a good deal (surely didn’t want to get scammed). Reddit did help as well, with trying to determine a reliable seller. I contacted quite a few additional people; Gavivi was amongst those people, and he responded the quickest. Again, I used ChatGPT to assist with everything (i.e., verifying their pictures, weight of everything, etc.). I also thought I could negotiate, but I guess with reps, you cannot do so. Almost every seller had the same price. However, I went with Gavivi because of their response time and the reviews on Reddit. Additionally, Gavivi utilized PayPal, and I was not familiar with Wise or any of the other companies, so I definitely wanted to go with him. Although the reviews stated he was new, I didn’t pull the trigger immediately and wanted to do research. I think I waited about three days from my initial contact. I had my eyes set on the small love bracelet and saw that second-hand was way too expensive (close to the price of the real one).
I am so glad that I went with him because not only is the bracelet beautiful, but the weight is perfect (my scale stated 20 g); Gavivi’s stated 19.22 g. I didn’t test out the gold due to already having an original love bracelet, and the colors are identical! I also saw another review (or two) on here that tested the gold, and I didn’t feel the need to do so after I saw the gold weight on my scale.
I also requested if Gavivi could ship the bracelet as soon as it was completed, and he stated he may could ship it out that day, Friday, but at the latest Monday. He did end up shipping on that Friday, so I got it on August 10th. The packaging was perfect! The bracelet, of course, didn’t come with the original packaging (it may have been held at customs), but it came with a little pouch and the screwdriver.
I 1000% would go with Gavivi again! Let me know if you have any questions, but I believe I provided everything I could recall (I have searched many reviews, and many people request a lot of things), so hopefully, I was detailed enough.
Can I get help with a qc on this bvl-gari bracelet please? It looks good to me but you guys are the expert.
Placed an order with Gavivi after reading so many reviews about all the trusted sellers and I decided to go with Gavivi and I honestly don’t regret it at all! I’m so glad I did and it’s definitely not the last time to order!
I ordered YG classic with lab diamonds and was quoted 4490$ all inclusive. (33.09 grams)
I have recieved the bracelet and it’s even MORE gorgeous in real life! I have the same size in authentic but I must say that this is 0.5 slightly bigger than the auth. But it’s nothing major.
I did my payment : 23/06
Recieved photos : 08/07
Shipped 11/07 recieved 3 days later
I highly recommend purchasing from Gavivi everything was just so smooth. From answering my endless questions to payment to shipping (received in less than 3 days). Can’t wait to order more 😍🥰.
It’s just so pretty I can’t stop staring at it and the craftsmanship of it!
This is my honest review, I didn’t pay for any insurance as I felt it’s unnecessary. Nor am I getting a refund or discount for review.
Planning on purchasing sweet clover perlee from Opus Atelier. This will be my first purchase from them or any rep jewellers so I’m a bit nervous. Can someone help me out here whether their products are guaranteed 18K and this isn’t a scam?
Is everything on point? Looks clean overall to me honestly.
We all know about the Loves, VCA, Serpenti, Clash, JUC, etc. Which piece do you have that deserves more attention? The panthers seem to be making their rounds recently but are there others you really like? I think the Chopard Ice bangle is pretty and haven't seen much of it. What love to hear what you all have. Thanks!
I have a medium love bracelet (size 16) and small JUC bracelet w/ diamonds (size 15). Both in YG. On my other wrist I have a Rolex datejust. Which should I add to my stack-1) classic love bracelet; 2) small clash bracelet; or 3) VCA Alhambra five motif bracelet?
EDIT: also wondering if I should move once of my bracelets to my other wrist with the Rolex
I’m curious where everyone thinks the best balance is between price and quality.
If you had around $200–$500 to spend on one piece, would you go for a simpler solid-gold piece or a more detailed plated/sterling-silver piece?
For those who’ve bought in this range, what gave you the best value for the money?
*Opus Atelier Review*
L♥️VE necklace 18k yellow gold with 3 lab diamonds.
(Disclosure I will be getting 70% of my insurance back by writing my honest review)

July 21- I contacted Opus to get a quote. To be honest it was my first time contacting him. I’ve only worked with Gavivi once and I wanted to try someone else just to have a good comparison.
I was quoted: $2,470 plus insurance $247
Necklace quote weight aprox. 15.7g
July 22-placed order and received an invoice noting I had made a deposit of $1,235.
Aug 3- I received QC photos, everything looked good except for the LOVE engravings on the back. I will attach photo of before and after they fixed it.
I was the one who posted here about it and pretty much everyone agreed with me on how they were too “bold”. I told Opus if they could fix it which they did.
Aug 5-I was sent the new QC photos of just the Engravings. They looked a lot better, honestly better than other sellers out there. It seems that none of the sellers can get it exactly right. But to be fair mine was one of the best ones out there.
Since they had to remake the entire pendant I was told it would take a few more days to get it completely done.
Aug 9- Received QC photos of the entire necklace. I green flagged it.
Aug 10- paid the rest of the amount I owed.
Aug17-received it via FedEx.
Overall experience. I did feel a little overwhelmed with the engravings at first but I was glad they were able to fix it and make it look as similar as possible. Customer Service was great, they do respond right away. Necklace turned out to be lighter in weight than what I got quoted on so I do expect a price adjustment of 1.5 grams. I’m pretty sure I will be getting it back with the 70% of my insurance for writing this review.
**I saved the most important part till the end which is my thoughts on my LOVE necklace.
The piece is beautiful, it looks well made. Keep in mind I do own several Auth pieces from the boutique so I do have a point of comparison.
I did notice that the yellow gold is off though. I will attach photos comparing the YG necklace with my YG bracelets. Also another one next to my RG ring and a YG one. I could say the color of the necklace is somewhere between a yellow gold and a rose gold (leaning more towards the RG).
Since I have both color shades for the rest of my collection and I mix and match them I really don’t mind.

Maybe the most symbolic pieces of my husband and my 20 year anniversary celebration stack are the Loves. When I was thinking auth, before my awareness of reps, it was going to be a C@rt1er Love; we agreed there was something rather sweet about history and the "locking in" promise of placing these sort of bracelets upon one's beloved's wrists. Twenty years of marriage is a while. It's a big moment to reflect on all the good and bad we go through together, living out those 'fancy-dress and tux' 'in-front-of-friends-and-family-members' vows we say out loud before we encounter reality
I like to commemorate with jewelry. Caratsky (with a touch of Vinko) really helped me out this time 😉
Specs:
18k YG small pave Love, 16.66g complete, 3400usd
CS offers 5% refund of insurance for honest reviews, which was more than met through posts I've made on earlier items from this order. So, this is not a factor. I'm sharing bc thorough reviews and personal accounts on these forums really helped me in doing research. It's the spirit of community to use what we've learned to actually help others. And, frankly, the sub is pretty boring when it consists of only low effort QCs, vague negativity, and single line demands to DM seller contacts. That's my real honesty, repfriends
6/14 Deposit paid for bundle with other items
7/22 PSPs
7/23 Additional PSPs & measurements, at my request. It was critical this small pave would stack with my existing classic love
7/26 Hold for modification of another piece
7/28 GL all, balance paid
8/3 First package from order shipped after payment cleared through Wise
8/6 Second package containing this bracelet shipped after successful receipt of first
8/11 Received
One of the additionally endearing parts of this bracelet's story is that it brought a connection with another user on this sub, and a lovely back-and-forth penpalship. As it so happens, though we come from different backgrounds, and different seasons of life, we have identically sized wrists, and coincidentally ordered Sz 16 YG small pave Love bracelets from James at exactly the same time. We joined in attempting to clarify some consistent yet not well or willingly explained negativity around the current version of this piece. In comparing, and ensuring that our orders were as we wished, I've really enjoyed chatting and exchanging data with my JewelryRepsClub friend. Caratsky even put our twin bracelets together for a little photo shoot before mailing them off to us in different countries (pics 9 & 10). Sharing excitement with someone new who understands the quest really represents the best of what this ridiculous world of Reddit can sometimes be. So, here's to Love(s), of all sorts and kinds! Especially when they sparkle
This vca ring from TL, need opinions on the details. TIA:)
