Hi, the piece is absolutely fine! Rubedo metal pieces have very few replicas so far (haven't seen any yet), so rest assured
Really? How funny? I was very easily able to find numerous fake rubedo items which were replicas with very little effort. Do you think it's a good idea to imply to people that rubedo items aren't faked when they so clearly are and counterfeit items are very easy to find?
Again, can you tell us what your expertise is so we may feel more comfortable with your authentications of items that clearly don't have enough pictures to authenticate them is so that we can ascertain exactly what your expertise is (other than selling on etsy)? Especially since no one is familiar with you and you have only 15 posts on the forum.
That way people may be more comfortable with your opinions.
So far, I'm seeing authentications, both pro and con, based on posts devoid of the pictures necessary to safely authenticate them.
Please enlighten us with your qualifications so that the comfort level/bar may be raised.
Generally authenticators need much more information. I'm confused as to how you are able to conclusively ascertain authenticity without photos and documentation generally needed to make judgments regarding same. Jewelry authentication requires very precise and thorough examination with typically more photographic evidence than handbags or other goods. Due to the high value I'm concerned how you are so easily able to authenticate items without necessary pictures?
I'm not trying to be mean, just asking for more detailed information due to the seriousness of making judgments as to authenticity of fine jewelry (for both buyers and sellers).
While we are grateful for help, it's an important issue and I think everyone looks forward to hearing all about you and your jewelry experience, so we look forward to meeting you and learning all about you. Thanks!
