I recently got a couple more orders in from Instagram. I showed you the Nogu bracelet, love love, love.  Yesterday this gorgeous ring arrived.  It is beyond gorgeous. The picture doesn't do it justice. It's Sparkles like crazy.  It comes in oval which is what I got and rectangle.  The Glassith reading glasses came today. Silver with pave crystals on the side, blue light.  So I am pleasantly surprised and pleased with ordering from Instagram.  One more Island that I have yet to receive is lighted door sills for my car.  They light up when I open the door. They have the car's manufacturer name on them.  So if you're on Instagram and see something you like, it seems safe to order through them 1000007951.jpg them.

@monicakm  WOW! Okay, I love it! That is exactly something I would buy. It's absolutely gorgeous! What is the name of the company? I would like to go on Instagram and find that beautiful ring to buy. I've been disappointed with Diamonique lately. Do tell.....

Ive always been scared to order from Instagram. I have heard you can get ripped off 

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Re: Instagram purchases

[ Edited ]

I've seen the ring, bracelet and glasses also advertised on Facebook.  I'm dubious about buying things from those vendors, although I've made a few small purchases.  I don't spend more than I can afford to lose.

 

I recently ordered a new memory foam bed pillow that I just love.   It was more expensive than most of my purchases but arrived nicely packed, by FedEx in 48 hours.

Love your ring!  I've bought quite a few things from IG over the past few years and have never had an issue.  It's a very different process than with FB.  You can go directly to the company's account and either ship there or use your browser and go to the site.

I don't buy off Instagram or Facebook.  I have read many articles that say it can be risky to do so.  I get tons of ads and if I'm interested, I visit their website or I go to Amazon to see if they sell their products there.  Sometimes they do.  I'm glad it is working well for you.  That is a beautiful ring.

You can do the same thing with Facebook ads.  I prefer entering the website through my browser.

search for alderjewellers on Instagram.  I'm not sure how to find the image with "shop now" at the bottom.  It just comes up on my feed while I'm scrolling.  Please let me know if you're able to get to a link to shop for it.  Hope this helps.    Oh, and please don't do what I did.  Order your ring size, not your shoe size!!! LOL   It's ok.  It's not a ring to wear all day every day.  I have one of those ring size thingies to make it fit.

 

They also have a website by the same name.  I paid $27 (with tax) on Instagram and it's $50 on their website.

@monicakm  Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm so glad you gave me the name of the company. I've been dying to check this ring out. It's absolutely gorgeous. My ring size is smaller than my shoe size. LOL. 💖

@I am still oxox 

 

Where can't you get ripped off?  I've made 4 purchases.  I thought I was going to get ripped off with my first one.  It took over a month to get my reading glasses.  Reading feedback/reviews on their website, I saw that a lot complained of the shipping time but did get their orders.  Nogu was the fastest to ship.  4 for 4 for me Smiley Happy
