Went to a posh jewellers down the road, £25! Or £55 with the special finish.
Over charging by £75 definitely deserved this review. Disgusting
So I took it to an expert in London who said that it's to do with the way Italian gold is made differently. They hollow out the gold sometimes so 18c might not weigh what you would expect. He gave me 350 quid for something the man here told me was fake hallmarked.
Three stars because it's just a question of expertise in certain areas and we can't be an expert in everything. It would be higher but I took exception to being told I "knew already" that it was fake. Despite knowing there must of course be lots of people that try to blagg things like this, I think the benefit of the doubt about people's honesty wouldn't hurt.
I'm not saying don't go here, I'm saying probably don't go here with Italian gold. Nor am I questioning honesty at all. I am just taking exception to the impression I got that he was questioning mine.
