Fraud in the jewelry space continued
So the fraud in the space has grown.
Started with Moissanite lab created diamonds- at least the sellers priced these like moissanite though a Moissanite is not a lab created diamond and its fraud
Then it was sellers calling gold plated brass- 14K gold- here sellers are pricing the items like gold , selling earrings that wholesale for less than $10 for up to $99-
Then gold cross- same as above
Now wedding bands
Have purchased, and reported sellers
Never thought I would see the day that Amazon would not care about sellers completely ripping off consumers, violating Amazons own polices and FTC regulations.

Hello @Seller_nBUcRErQhJ4JW,
Thanks for visiting the forums, and thank you for stepping up and reporting these products and sellers to Amazon. I plan to send a message to the Jewelry Category Manager along with a link to your forum post and report the issue using your feedback.
Thanks for selling on Amazon.

Yap, I agree, it's getting worst all the time. The words "Simulated" or "Created " should precede the gem stone type in the title, instead it's buried somewhere in the page where customers will unlikely see it.
Also, listings are created with metal = Yellow Gold, and metal stamp = 925 on the same listing.
Which is it? @ $16.99 selling price, I would say neither.....

Look at this @SEAmod
https://www.amazon.com/Tesori-Co-Yellow-Comfort-Wedding/dp/B075G2LVSX
So we bought one its not stamped, its not 10K we reported it and yeah amazon removed one size of the ring in one color.
The catalog page says 10K the image is stamped 10K what they ship is not 10K
Go to the search page its badged "overall pick" so Amazon is promoting a listing that is ripping off customers.

The listing violates Amazon's own policies.
The brand owner is being harmed, the consumer is being harmed - Amazon is profiting.
Somethinig is very wrong

@SEAmod @Seller_NnGqZJDbRCGne@Seller_v0CyWEjURkddv@Seller_oYDcQSYtvcI39@Seller_8rcwmHdQknTKG
I think its time we look at other options Jeff@Amazon.com ?
Seems Amazon has decided to allow these bad actors to continue or these bad actors are playing chess and Amazon is playing checkers, and Amazon cant catch up
Bought these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CT5299ZG
Arrived not stamped or trademarked, clearly not real gold, messaged seller, seller confirms in messaging none of their items are real gold. Report a violation, reply- no violation.

It has been days since you contacted and reported them, listing still active and shows as 14kt gold, sad :-(
Seller_nBUcRErQhJ4JW
They came back with no violation. So according to that team calling an item 14K gold saying its stamped 14K , and shipping gold plated brass is not against amazon policy. More and more I think Amazon has decided to allow this.

It appears @SEAmodhas given up and / or Amazon has made a concious decision to allow these bad actors to continue to defraud their customers.
I suggest we all try Jeff@Amazon.com
