Please Contact the ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE of CA to file a complaint ONLINE if you have been ripped off by this company!!
I have already been contacted by 3 other individuals that have also been victimized by Tina Jewelry in Thailand. I Purchased a 2.25 ctw tanzanite and diamond ring from the thieves. I paid what I thought was a bagain of $270 for an item they claimed was worth over $5,000.00. Given to me upon arrival is beyond my vocabulary.
I received the most hideous quality piece of trash "cracked" tanzanite and snow ball diamond, one step up from rocksalt. The gold weight they claimed was 2.34 grams and it weighed in by a certified jewelry appraiser at a whopping 1.75 grams (including the stones). Upon testing, it comes back at 10 carat gold instead of the 14 carat they are claiming. This is a total 100% illegal rip off!!!!
These jokers have a blemished, checkered history regarding their ebay sales from day 1. Their sister company is topgemsjewelry in which they both do shady business under the Tina Jewelry name. Their certificate of authenticity is totally bogus as is their inflated valuation of the item. Given that I knew these clowns were in Thailand, I should have known better. But being intoxicated with the feeling of a great deal, I went ahead and made my purchase.
They gave me what they call a Tina Jewelry certification card which is a piece of lamanated plastic in which THEY feel their item is worth and signed by a supposed GIA certified gemologist that GIA has never even heard of (even if you can read the bogus signature on their card). A Super duper highly inflated MSRP value 100X what the item is worth is denoted upon the card as well luring individuals into thinking they got some kind of huge bargain via their auctions.
When I went to get this item appraised, I nearly had to crawl out of the appraiser's office I was so embarrassed. After he was done laughing, the appraiser told me that the 10KT gold was worth $14.79 and the stones were worth $15.00 bringing in a whopping total of $29.79 for the ring I paid $270.00 for. Please don't let this happen to you!!!!
You can always take full advantage of their return policy which they claim as follows:
FEEDBACK RESPONSE: Simply send it back 100%Return/Refund
Maybe you would like to know HOW they define 100% Refund policy...
A. They keep a 15% Restocking fee
B. They keep the ALREADY high/way overinflated shipping charges (it cost me over $70.00 to ship it back with insurance that they demand)
c. They keep the 15% Restocking fee
d. You lose on money SHIPPING the defective/misrepresented item BACK to them.
You have any clue how much money you lose when you send the item back? International insured shipping is not cheap. These turncoats have it ALL figured out. They sell JUNK at high volume, make profits on the returns and feel safe hiding out in Thailand, its quite simple.
SO -
In short, if ANYONE has been bamboozled by the following company: Tina Jewelry (ebay id tinajewe or Top Gems Jewelry (ebay id topgemsjewelry) TAKE ACTION and make them give you EVERYTHING back......Including paying for your shipping of the 100% Mis-represented junk BACK TO THEM.

Hey why you not email information (paypal receipt and Product #) as the company suggested. You are starting to stink and not be creditable. If you do not do this everyone will know that you are acting maliciously. I have know the owner of Tina Jewelry for 8 years and have bought many items and no problems. No I am not Thai and am very close to your city. So send your information to Tina Jewelry and then we will see if the issue can be resolved even though your complaint might not be creditable. Right now the onus is one you. They have responded and you just shoot your mouth of like some uneducated person. If you do provide all the information to them including Paypal receipt and product # from Ebay then I will greatly apologize.

This report was filed in maliciously and is completely unreasonable.
AUTHOR: Management - (Thailand)
SUBMITTED: Friday, November 16, 2007
This report was filed in maliciously and is completely unreasonable. First, we offer below wholesale prices on AUTHENTIC jewelry made by 14K solid gold. Second, if you are not satisfied with your items we have a no questions asked return policy. Third, we have a customer service team readily available to help anyone.
We believed that the report from the ex-employee was completely fabricated. It is quite impossible to have this report as our factory worker's don't even have any single idea where and how we sell our merchandise.
It is very clear that all this malicious negative feedback came from our malicious competitor who cannot believe that we can stand and have a clean business in eBay. We are very transparent with all our transactions; we do not even ship inside Thailand in order for us not to have the issue of BUY IT BACK.
Finally, we took all those negative feedback positively; in order for us to serve our legitimate customer as best as we can.

Response to PERSONAL CHALLENGE from tina-jewelry, topgemsjewelry
AUTHOR: Thripshaw - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, October 15, 2007
Tina Jewelry didn't even take the time to read my report to see that I purchased a TANZANITE RING and not the onyx ring specified in your challenge. I received a worthless Tina Jewelry Certification Card, not a Tokyo Gem Lab Certification. Will Tokyo Gem Lab certify my $29.79 ring's value at $5,000.00?
Here is my challenge to you "Tina Jewelry", please tell us who the owner or owners of tina-jewelry is "BY NAME". I want to know who is behind all of this. Who runs this operation? Who is responsible for the claims made made by Tina Jewelry? I want to know who is responsible for certifying my ring is worth over $5,000.00?

We would like to challenge you personally......
AUTHOR: Management - (Thailand)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, October 13, 2007
Hi Thripshaw of Greenwood, California U.S.A.,
We would like to challenge you personally to send all the details of your alleged transactions with us. We need the item # of your ring as well as your payment transaction ID via PayPal.
This is one of the solid evidence that we can prove that YOU ARE NOT OUR CUSTOMER. You are just fabricating all this negative accusations with our factory.
Well, we ONLY sell AUTHENTIC GEMSTONES and DIAMONDS and made by 14K SOLID GOLD. Customer will receive the exact items that we advertised and post in our two auctions.
Our Sapphire ring comes from Authentic Natural Sapphire and not Onyx. To prove to you, we send the said item in one of the well-known gem laboratory in Thailand which is Tokyo Gem Lab. If you are still in doubt you can contact us directly and we can give you their certification.
We do not charge any 15% restocking fee of the item. Our refund is 100% guarantted.
We filed a legal assistance with USA Embassy in Thailand and eBay USA concerning with this very malicious subject. They are doing their best to expedite their investigations.
Finally, we know that all eBayers are very sharp to analyze that all of our products are exactly the same with one of the leading internet jewelry store. Tina Jewelry Co., Ltd. used to manufacture exclusively with them for almost 2 and half years. Our factory was the one shipping their merchandise directly to their respective customers. Before this issue, we did not encounter any of these complains. WHY NOW?
I think it will be better if we will just concentrate ourselves to be more productive. I know that criticism is good whether positive or negative. However, WE HAD ENOUGH!
Tina Jewelry Co. Ltd.

Inoxication can be pricey

My, oh my, here I am again responding to another Tina Jewelry report.
This question is a legit one... Who in their right mind would believe that they could buy a 2.25 ctw tanzanite and diamond ring for
$270 that wasn't going to look like rock-salt?
All of the names you have offered all clearly show positive feedback: 100%
I suggest if you want to make a stronger case, you might offer an item number and a photograph of the ring you received.
Lastly, you said it best... I should have known better, But being intoxicated with the feeling of a great deal, I went ahead and made
my purchase.
Perhaps you should consider finding yourself a new drug that has the label...
If it looks too good to be true, it's not good or true.

tina-jewelry has changed their Ebay user ID to try and dodge prosecution
AUTHOR: Thripshaw - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, October 06, 2007
tina-jewely has changed their Ebay ID from tinajewe to tina-jewelry to try and avoid detection and to continue defrauding unsuspecting buyers. Beware!!! The US attorney's office has limited abilities to prosecute internation fraud rings like Tina Jewelry Co. Ltd. Don't get sucked into foreign jewelry scams like this one.
