<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9726869, member: 79705"]Yes, the enamel is terribly done imo and the image is tourist tat. It also had rectangular price sticker residue on the back. What stopped me was it looked like it had never been removed from the box, and the box had a local fine jeweler printed on it...but just the surname with no qualifiers like "Xyz Fine Jewelry" to tip them off. I thought the chain looked gold and checked it. Italy 14k. I didn't even bother to check the charm until I was in the car, because I thought it was added on and not gold, as the quality was so meh. But in the glue muck was 10k clearly marked!</p><p><br /></p><p>I can understand why it got to the GW.
