I ordered & paid for a bracelet from this business,and I never received it.Her shop on Rubylane is now closed!

On 02/12/2013,I ordered a bracelet from Lisa Davenport on Rubylane's website.

Name of business is BayJewels & Antiques Luxury line:Owner's name is Lisa-Rhodes-Davenport. Her  address is 4000 Rio Road #36 Carmel,Ca. 93923,<(this is where both payments were sent)She has an alternate address,which is 22300 Homestead Road #314,Cupertino,Ca.95014

Item ID 249Levin.
Ed Levin 14k/ss bracelet price $249-
 This was layaway.
03/01/13 $100 in cash was sent
03/23/13 $149  postal money order was sent
Item was paid in full.

I sent messages asking when I would receive the bracelet,to no avail! Communication during the layaway process was sporadic/almost nonexistent at best.When I sent a message on 03/27/13 as to when she would ship the bracelet,I received a one word response "tomorrow". On March 31st,she changed the Purchase Order to "sold item." On 03/31/2013,she closed her shop on Rubylane.I tried calling her phone number,and it is disconnected.

Attempted to reach out to Rubylane,& they only thing that they've done is send her several messages,& they've received no response whatsoever! Rubylane refuses to help me with a refund as well!

I was have contacted the district attorney regarding this, and also The Better Business Bureau. This is despicable! This was to be a gift for a family member.Now,I don't have the funds to provide another gift.If you are a victim,please call the District Attorney of Santa Clara,Ca. for consumer fraud! The # is 408-299-7400 

I want this negative rating to be on this website on her business page,so others won't be victimized when she decides to open another business!

Finally received the money!

AUTHOR: Anonymous - ()

POSTED: Wednesday, May 08, 2013

I finally received the money that was due to me,more than a week after it was promised. And for good measure,the website that listed the bracelet deleted all of my pertinent  purchase order information,but I previously had copied & pasted it,and saved it in a folder.Now I can finally put this nightmare behind me!

Received the bracelet,but ***NOT*** what is described!

AUTHOR: Anonymous - ()

POSTED: Saturday, May 04, 2013

Finally recieved Ed Levin bracelet on (4/24),but it is NOT the one described in Ms. Davenport's shop.

Ed Levin makes 2 versions of this bracelet: a solid 14k & sterling,which sells for $1358,and a less expensive version of the same design elements ,which sells for $530. In her Rubylane shop,Ms.Davenport stated that she was selling the ***solid gold*** version.When I finally received the bracelet after a month,it turned out to be the less expensive $530 version. I took it to my local jeweler,and this was verified.

She had promised to issue me a partial refund,and I still have not received the money yet! I was told that it would be mailed on 04/26,never received the money.Spoke with her on the phone,and she promised that it would be sent Priority Mail,& that I would get it today (05/04).Still no money! Sent an e-mail,and still no response. Going to update district attorney's office this week,and also the Better Business Bureau.

Here is the link for bracelet that was described....

www.rubylane.com/item/61838-389011x20249levin/Designer-Ed-Levin-Vintage-Perpetual

She sold this bracelet for a friend,& she claimed that  she was told it was the more expensive version.Mistakes happen,but when they occur,you should make it right by following through on your promises! If I don't receieve the refund,or a response within the next couple of days,I will update the DA,and the Better Business Bureau

I too had a similart experience with Lisa Davenport I threatened to call the FBI Since this is actually interstate wire fraud She finally sent me the earrings I bought for 200.00.  The real culprit here and I will file a new ripoff report on them is "Ruby(ripoff)Lane  All I got from them is was a form letter telling me how great their customer service was rated but no help They even removed my Email correspondence with Lisa Davenport supporting my legal claim                                                                                                                                                             I finally threatened to include them as coconspirators in interstate wire fraud. They enabled it to occur and covered up the evidence. Lisa Davenport did finally send me the merchandise and I will remove my report on her .                                                                                                                                                               I just dont understand how after 7 years you just stop dealing  honestly with people. A simple Email would have made me feel like it was just a delay. Go after Ruby Lane They have no protections in place like paypal, and they honestly dont care. They will never see a dime of my money again. I spend thousands on ebay yearly.   Hang in there and push until you get your merchandise
