Noir Jewelry... any comments?

Did you ever get to the sale? I had something come up- I read a write up on it today and I'm so sad they had some things from the DC comics line...that's what I was looking forward to. Maybe it's worth a trip tomorrow....

I popped in today. They had plenty of stuff left but the selection was a lot smaller than previous sales. And it's possible there will be another sale soon.
 
I bought a set of noir stacking rings (rhodium and gold plated). I love them and think they are beautiful but was really disappointed in the quality. It didn't take long for the plating to wear off and the brass or copper underneath to start showing. Has anyone else ever had thi problem?
 
I don't think noir's quality is worth the price tag. My forever 21 pieces are more glittery and last which is more than I can say for noir. I purchased a scorpion ring and the crystals are AWFUL quality. There is no sparkle. Too bad because I'm a sucker for animal jewelry and they would have had a lot of business from me.
