Luxury quality, is it always like this?
Today, all EliteGold phones received an offer for a unique "Luxury" quality product, namely kits. According to the author of this proposal, the quality of "luxury" with an alloy of metals in silver, copper and attention .... GOLD is at a discount of 1090 UAH (equivalent at the current rate of 42 dollars). Why so insistently that the entire EliteGold team decided to look and, if possible, buy “luxury” sets for themselves (maybe we offer the wrong jewelry?), What delights for $42, whole sets for $42, and even gold? And of course with a discount of 75 - 90%.
Of course, we will not disclose sellers for ethical reasons, we will provide you with several screenshots of unique haute couture offers. Below it is proposed to look at the photo, as it is presented on the site. Please note that there are "noble" metals, of course, nobility is rather doubtful and Swarovski stones are required :)
And so let's figure out what the unknown manufacturer offers us? The description of all lots is quite the same, basically it is a set of earrings with a pendant, of course, in stones, and some even have enamel, and all this for $ 42, we would say: "A gift of fate."
Lot number 1. Earrings with a pendant, the price is 1090 UAH with a discount for mailing Let's calculate what it is, since purely externally for such a price, the kits look quite decent. There are stones, and a chain and various alloys of the highest quality.
Lot number 2. Earrings and pendant in the style of Versace. Well, firstly, remember Versace, Gucci, Armani and the like do not produce jewelry, at most it is costume jewelry and accessories for their collections. Secondly, pay attention to the clasp on the earrings, even assuming that you can put them on your ear, believe the professionals, you don’t carry them for a long time. No matter how much this kit costs, any amount of money spent on it will be thrown to the wind, if you did it, then you just gave your money.
And finally. Lot number 3. An incredibly delightful miracle combined with unsurpassed quality, weighing 15 grams, or maybe more, if you count the chain, and now imagine that there is 10% gold, i.e. 1.5 grams, if you buy a set for $42, then scrap metal will exceed $30.
Regular Math
And so let's count. Let's say there is silver there, silver costs about 0.5-1 dollar / gram, i.e. on the example of the last lot, this is at least 8-10 dollars, then you need to cast this jewelry, fix the stones, even if Swarovski, but they still cost money, according to conservative estimates, this is at least another 10-15 dollars, in total we have already got 20 - 25 dollars. Next, you need to pay for the work, even for Filipino children or dexterous Chinese (we immediately recall the highest quality), it’s even a couple of dollars, plus the cost of transporting this “luxury” miracle, the cost of advertising, the creation of landing pages, and let’s not forget for a good seller profit. We do not specialize in financial analysis, but it seems to us that if this piece of jewelry is silver, then we are well beyond the selling price of $42. What is there? Bronze, brass, copper? Possibly copper. But ask yourself a question - why do you need a metal jewelry with good current conductivity? I think we all know the answer to this question, at best you will get a copper jewelry, at worst some piece of plastic that does not even look like a photo.
Of course, you can also find "rave" reviews about these sellers on the Internet, and of course there are quite a few of this kind, but we hope that all the same our buyers will be able to choose the proper quality of goods for themselves and their families and relatives despite this kind of agitation.
Finally, I would like to note and advise you to pay less attention to the slogans "Luxury", "VIP" and the like. Buy only high-quality and proven, there is always an alternative to gold jewelry, even good jewelry can be a great gift. But believe me, premium jewelry costs more than $42. We wish you success and do not be deceived!
