Default quality of tom binns jewelry?
i'm eyeing a tom binns cuff.

i love it to death, but ultimately it IS costume jewelry. can anyone comment on the quality of his pieces?

I my Tom Binns cuff (I have pictures of it in my blog), but for a relatively expensive piece, it does break easily mine snapped in two spots and I had it 'lead soldered', but I was asked to treat it very carefully, as they don't guarantee the soldering...

My friend had a gorgeous cuff as well, and her friend sat on it, and it snapped in half! So sad...

Still, I absolutely love Tom Binns...

really?!

i was afraid of that. they look so delicate. i haven't seen them irl and i would be ordering online, but i just got the feeling they were fragile. i really feel they would suit me so well.

It could be that one person is on the UK site (or International), and the other on the US site? They have different stock...
