I am so happy to report that you were absolutely correct Izzy's Mom the bead is authentic. I took it to a jeweler who verified that the bead is authentic and I was able to see one exactly like it among his collection. This is such a relief as it made me feel that we couldn't trust any of the items on ebay which is was such a bummer.

Yeah!!! I am so happy that this turned out well. So here's another new smilie for you!

So I checked my Paypal account, and my claims for Jewels2005 now say case closed.. but it doesn't say the outcome. I mentioned earlier than my credit card was credited back the funds.. but does that mean I won the case? I never did submit the letter from a jeweler because I was in Alaska and Hawaii.. so I guess they had enough complaints to refund the money? Did anyone else notice this (those who had an open complaint through Paypal over Jewels?)

You are all SO lucky, my case is also closed but it went in the favour of Jewels2005 as I could not get any documentation to substantiate my claim.....my jeweller agreed they were very poor quality and PROBABLY! not authentic as he couldn't see Pandora releasing damaged/seconds for resale....However he was not prepared to back anything up and he declined to become involved in any paypal/ebay dispute!
So hey ho I am lumbered with a load of c..p which I certainly would NOT sell on, I foolishly bid on these for a charity auction as they were cheaper than my regular seller, so am well peeved off!!!
Now I've got that off my chest will take some pics of my other bracelets and try to post a bit more successfully than the last time!!!!!

Yes the one and same! Yes I do Pandora parties, does anybody want one....would luv to nip over to the states/Australia and host a few over there...am open to suggestion!!!
Re the Jewells thing, I think ebay must have suspended him but that doesn't help me...to add insult to injury he also didn't send 3 beads, so no refund for those, and that seems to have escaped ebay....I doubt I will be trading with them (ebay) again in the near future, but at least I can honestly say that any Pandora that I sold was and always has been 100% genuine and authentic!!!

I just checked mine. It's double stamped on each end, so four stamps in total. Both barrels have ALE stamped above and 585 stamped below the gold ring where the safety chain attaches.

Hi All,

I'm looking at a bead on Ebay that's from a seller in Australia (I'm in the US). It's sterling silver w/ synthetic opal. I'm awfully drawn to moonstones, opals and dichroic glass. My concern though is that the shipping is estimated at 18.00. I just can't see that it would cost that much to mail and even insure a little old bead, kwim?

I'm wondering if the 18.00 shipping is a typo. Would it be wrong for me to contact the seller, before I bid and confirm the shipment would be that much? Also, to any of our aussie pandora fans, have you all ever seen a non-brand name bead like this?

Go to http://wuerziworld.de/Smilies/par.php

I keep it open and then copy-and-paste into my messages. This is one of my new favorites as I have been trying to garden with Izzy's "help."

Well, I have been looking at the Pandora thread because I saw the bracelets awhile back in a magazine and loved them...I think I've been bitten! Great info...Also, off topic, BUT how do you copy/paste these cuties into email? It doesn't work for me...freezes the image...Oh, wise and accomplished techie!

I have never seen any like this. I love opal myself! My mother use to go out with a opal & gem cutter. Sadly I did didn't get one before she moved on.

She has some lovely pieces.

I couldn't get the documentation either because noone wanted to become involved. I personally think it's BS that Paypal required us to go out of our way to get our money back for something that several of us are completely unhappy with. I am not sure if it was ruled in my favor or not, it doesn't say (where did you find the decision other than that it was closed?) If it wasnt ruled in my favor they will get a nasty letter from me. It could be my CC that reversed the payment, but they want documentation too.. ugh
