I fell for the whole pitch, thinking it was a quality product. I soon learned the product is JUNK. It is most certainly not upscale department store. I have much better jewelry that I paid less for that has held up. NO it's not dirty! I only wore a couple pieces two or three times and now the metallic finish is wearing off to the metal underneath. Not even worth returning. I stopped selling after realizing it was too expensive for the quality and I got sick of the pyramid scheme. It wasn't about showing the jewelry it was about sucking in more people to sell. I didn't need more "friends and family" I have a full time job. Still paying off the initial investment 2 years later. Thinking "well, I got all this great jewelry to last me". Not really. I wish I had done my research.
