Studio Barse and Reconstituted Turquoise

‎03-26-2012 12:30 PM

OK, I couldn't take it anymore and filed an online FTC complaint about HSN and Studio Barse selling reconstituted turquoise as real turquoise. Yes, I know that they note that fact in their online product description but they do not mention it on their on air pitch. Melanie and the host go on and on about "this is real real turquoise" and "I don't know how HSN can sell turquoise at these prices" and "this is Kingman turquoise". To unsuspecting TV viewers, some of them older women, they don't know that they are not buying a Kingman Turquoise ring or pendant because they host and vendor do not tell them that the material is reconstituted. It is sickening. It is deliberate deception. It just gets my goat. Thanks for letting me vent.
