Default Ebay Fake
Just wanted to pass along a little information about a certain seller on Ebay with the initials IBL (it stands for her ebay store - don't want to spell it out). If you look for Yurman on ebay, then you have definitely seen her store....she is a huge seller of Yurman on Ebay. I should have trusted my gut with this one, but didn't. FAKE FAKE FAKE. I ordered a 3mm pave station bangle (the one with the little square pave at the top) and what a joke. It bent as I was putting it on my wrist. Not to mention the "silver" looked as if it had been spray painted on the bracelet. I waited to write this until I got my refund. The hack had the guts to charge me a restocking fee on top of it all. STAY FAR AWAY FROM I B L. I don't know how she has so much positive feedback, but if you dig a bit, you will see the feedback questioning authenticity. I have quite a large collection of Yurman so I am very familiar with it. There was no weight to this bracelet either so it wasn't even a good knock-off. I don't want anyone else to get scammed, so BUYER BEWARE. And it took quite some time to get my refund. I had to call and keep on top of it.

Thank you for the heads up!! I certainly hope you left appropriate feedback, and I am sorry to hear this! I am glad you got your money back, and once again, an indicator of how feedback is not the only thing you can go by when buying. Dig dig dig!

I can't really say on price, as somethings are worth whatever you are willing to pay, depending on how much you want it. Especially when they are not common (you don't see the pinata everywhere, know what I mean?). I can tell you that they have it here at Neiman's in the US for $58, and it is on sale right now for $43.50. So if the price there in the UK is comparable to that, you might want to seek it out at a dept. store.

(altho, since they have so many of the same pendants on sale... it seems a little suspect??)

The smell could be silver polish (any item I have bought from that seller has been polished well), or it may have been recently buffed (which removes a light layer of silver, thus the smell). There are some items (I have never owned this particular bracelet) that are only stamped on one side of the clasp. This may be one of them. However, check the base of the lobster clasp, and check the part that actually moves (the little arm). Sometimes they are stamped there, and you can only see them when they are open. And it is stamped 925 where it is hallmarked, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

You are so right,they do polished so well,look brand new.I use some cold water to wash it but still have the strong smell...
I can only see one side of the clasp(the "8" shape one)have paloma picasso siganature and tiffany&co 925 on it,the lobster clasp have NONE stamp inside out.
I am cross my fingers for this one to be real,it is so unique look and I like it so much!
