@yakkoTDI One time when I was very young and definitely naive, I had given my mother a last minute Mom’s day gift that seemed to be below her meager expectations and I asked her when Children’s Day was. She answered, “Every day is Children’s Day”.
Now that I understand the dynamic a lot better, I wish I could go back and give my parents more fitting appreciation for Mother’s or Father’s Day, but it is now too late for that.
Meh fooled me before with this jewelry ish. Simply never again! Sorry for stating the obvious. Still currently struggling from diamond bracelet nightmares.
@dam091@whomeyesu The item in the thread I’ve linked has a bunch of us leery of the jewelry thing, and the resemblance to the current item doesn’t help.
@werehatrack@whomeyesu wow, what a ride. People were pissed, and rightfully so. Even the ones that were “right” didn’t look like the picture.
It seems that, while meh used to buy a bunch of overstocked crap and then sell it, they are now just selling stuff from other sources and never actually taking possession of it. Probably just getting a commission for the sale. That’s really disappointing. Expect many more issues just like that bracelet if that’s the case.
Having lost all 3 mother’s (birth-, step-, and in-law), I considered this for my spouse. We exchanged thought messages about it, and hers read: “If you buy this for me, you’re an idiot.” The woman wears street-market shell earrings and $6 watches…
@Felton10 Particularly when the same item has already made a run through overstock dot com, where they had the lack of comprehension to price it at more than four times this sale’s level. I understand the theory of “Always Pitch And Price For A Retail Home Run”, but sometimes you just gotta understand that your middle-school knuckler high and outside is going to get ignored in the big leagues every time.
One karat of I3 J diamonds in a bracelet? No thanks, Meh. Jewelry I’ve gotten from here has matched the description, but they’re describing junk on this one.
@Euniceandrich@mike808 I detect an absent letter in one of those “clickable” domain names…
And @mike808, it appears you have called it, what looks like the same item is on StellaCarmina for thirty bucks more. I shall disdain it in both places; diamonds are not my thing. (And I inherited more jewelry than I will ever wear anyway.)
@hchavers Unfortunately for me, I am the closest thing to a Bond Girl that has ever been in my life, sporty/artsy or otherwise. And I’m underwhelmed by diamonds except as abrasive grit and specialty cutting tools; they can be pretty rad there.
Around 50 stones with a total weight of one carat; that’s about .02 carats per each. And for a claimed round cut, that equates to a diameter of about 1.75mm, or just over 1/16". Looks like the plating doesn’t extend to the bezel around each stone, because there’s no way that the face of each link could be fully covered by a 1.75mm round-cut diamond.
@werehatrack Assuming that this bracelet is 7 inches long (at the low end of the range for a typical women’s bracelet), then each link’s total size is just a tiny bit under .14", or a bit over 1/8". And the stone would cover about half that diameter. Yeah, these photos are from the manufacturer. I’d rather see a pic of one of the staffers wearing it, including their expression of “joy” at the prospect.
@Pufferfishy I thought about leaving one, but then I figured that there’s no point in educating a seller about mistakes when it’s more likely that they’ll simply get better at lying than be more honest. (The folks here at Meh have shown at least some willingness to own up to what they know they’re peddling, which is why I stick around.)
MY mom never gets me anything for Mother’s Day.
@yakkoTDI I think she would argue she got you enough for a lifetime on your birthday.

That’s OK, my son has now brought Karma to me.
@hchavers All I got on my birthday was evicted.

@whomeyesu please elaborate, I almost stupidly bit on this

Thanks for the heads up. Hard pass.
@whomeyesu guess you got suckered on the xmas bracelet also. Never again for me. Even though I did get a refund. Just too much of a hassle.

@MrNews You have a savvy spouse. And you listen. This is Good.
@MrNews
I approve of her taste - I would wear those over this kind of bracelet any day.
Nothing says I love you like a piece of jewelry that has landed on meh because the original seller couldn’t unload it.

Diamonds are not most girls’ best friends.
Horribly overpriced on Overstock, and obviously hasn’t been moving there or they wouldn’t have landed here.
10 carrots. Just what the easter bunny needs to recover from yesterday.

I think these diamonds must have been cut with some sort of hammer.
I’ve got a buddy who has an easy mother’s day, because she’s dead.
@fuzzmanmatt That might actually make it harder.
@fuzzmanmatt @yakkoTDI I try to visit my father’s grave on Father’s Day. Not looking forward to my mother joining the tradition.
@fuzzmanmatt @hchavers @yakkoTDI That’s sad. Doesn’t she understand that it’s your time alone with him? She can go on her own time.
@dam091 I think he was saying that he’s not looking forward to there being two graves…
@werehatrack r/whoooosh
@fuzzmanmatt @yakkoTDI ALOT harder. Really sucks getting thru the day without mom…and I am a mom so try to fake it for my kids but it is tough.
Looks like this is the “first run” or a cross-sale here on meh.com before heading over to StellaCarmina.com. Just like some of the stuff that ends up over on MorningSave.com or SideDeals.com next.

@Ignorant @Narfcake @Thumperchick @RiotDemon
Can a volmod fix my typo in StellaCarmina domain name (autolinked) in my post above?
KTHXBYE
@mike808 @narfcake @RiotDemon @Thumperchick sure why not.
@Ignorant Thx!
Tennis, Muse, Martini, but no brand name. Sounds like this is for the sporty and artsy Bond girl in your life.
@hchavers Unfortunately for me, I am the closest thing to a Bond Girl that has ever been in my life, sporty/artsy or otherwise. And I’m underwhelmed by diamonds except as abrasive grit and specialty cutting tools; they can be pretty rad there.
The diamonds are a lie.
FIFY
@Pufferfishy The facial expression needs to look forced. That’s harder to fix.
@werehatrack so… ?
@Pufferfishy Yeah, that’s pretty much perfect.
Around 50 stones with a total weight of one carat; that’s about .02 carats per each. And for a claimed round cut, that equates to a diameter of about 1.75mm, or just over 1/16".

every image of this product is a rendering - if that doesn’t scream quality I don’t know what does.
I’m shocked that at only $492.00 on Overstock there’s ZERO reviews… lol…

I’ve looked above, but do not see the more attractive color option which brought me here. Any help is appreciated.
@jrwofuga Do you mean the pink color in the main image?
@riskybryzness specifically Georgia Red.

I had bad experience from previous jewelry purchase. The product did not match descriptions. It also took a long time for refund.
Me: waiting for an IRK.
Meh: Here’s a Diamond bracelet.
Eek.
Anyone know if this thing can be adjusted so it’s shorter?
