<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 9771299, member: 4654"]I totally agree, without a signature nobody will know who made them thus only worth the intrinsic value of the metal. I will say (after working in Bond St for a few years) names aren't what they used to be. Once a name stood for high craftsmanship, something you could rely on, today names often get a good reputation because they pay people to say how good their product is when in fact you can buy the same product for a fraction of the cost and it will last 4x as long. Designer goods are often paying famous people to wear their goods so us minions will buy their overpriced, poorly made bling to impress others, I'm sorry but I've never bought into that. I endeavour to buy the best quality but I'm never worried about the name, of course my views on designer goods aren't what the world thinks so I don't hold out hope for my un-named bangle and ring <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
