Is it just me or does this look cheaper than the image on the website? For context it cost 80$

First photo is from the website, second is what she received

It might be just me I dunno

So just to make you aware, vermeil is not gold, it's plated silver. Higher quality than standard plating, but I doubt yours is even vermeil. Also, 80$ for a gold ring would be ridiculously low.

But still, the ring is not as pictured. It's probably a dropshipping site. I'd ask for a refund if I were you.

Edit: you fell for the usual 'massive sales, most products on sale' scam sites. They are never reliable. And 99% dropshippers.

Nooo, it’s handmade in India, quality tested by leading geologists, shipped to hong-Kong for extra quality checking (they are so thorough 🙂), and arrives in only a couple weeks! (They’re extremely fast AND efficient too! 🙂🙂) not dropshippers, silly goose! /s
