Re: Bali Designs by Robert Manse

I purchased the Sterling & 18K scroll Bracelet...and it came the other day. I thought it was nice, great design UNTIL the gold peeled off 2 of the links!!!!  IT was not solid, it was like a gold leaf. I can't believe it. I contacted QVC...they said to send it back of course. I will not reorder. I had noticed a rough spot on a corner and tried to smooth it down with my fingernail...and that is when it came off. I took a photo and it shows what a thin layer of gold it was. Think this was very misrepresented.  Additionally, I contacted Robert Manse Via his FB page....posted a link and a photo. Sure no one will get back to me. I'm so glad I did not get the necklace.  I wish they would have just made this all Silver, as I liked the design. Will not order from Robert Manse in the future. I have a ton of Barbara Bixby and Samuel B pieces and NEVER did any gold peel off.   If you purchased this item J420920 Please check your pieces...as they could peel off as well.

@gardenDiva 20000   How disappointing!  I've been watching that necklace hoping the price would eventually come down.  I own a couple of Bali Design pieces that I bought at HSN mixing gold and silver & never had this problem.  Glad you can get your money back.

I agree.  I bought a ring from him and it is gorgeous.

Re: Bali Designs by Robert Manse

I bought the pink ‘kunzite’ color triplet drop earrings.

They seem well made, average to good quality. I did expect them to be more pink from the photographs rather than more of a light mauve amethyst type hue but since I’m not very interested in gemstones, I don’t know the color of real kunzite.

Unfortunately the design doesn’t work for me because of the silly direction of my ear piercings. Like so many of us, mine were pierced from side-on rather than front-on. I didn’t know any better when I was dragged into a random jewelry store as a young teenager by a friend, who was giving me this for a birthday present!

I took a chance, sometimes these flat earrings can work for me if the stone is raised above the setting but these one is flush so all I can see from the front is the silver side setting, I can’t see the stone at all. Shame, but not the fault of the earrings.

Artisan Crafted by Robert Manse Sterling Silver - J420915This is the ring I bought recently---was on a pretty good sale too. I wear it on my right middle finger. It is very comfy and flat and looks great.
