SOME AFTERTHOUGHTS ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE:

I had to contact customer service today about links (I am not totally tech savvy). The live chat was not helpful whatsoever. I do find that all the automated features, like returns you can submit yourself, were easy to do. But a live person to talk to was not as easy as I'd hoped.

Please note nothing beats buying quality jewelry from a reputable sellers, whether that's live sellers (like on youtube!) or a trusted wholesaler, etc. I will absolutely not make a habit of buying reseallables from Temu. This was a one off video just to see what they have to offer, and to let anyone watching know what they can expect. For me, the service after the sale is as important as the sales experience itself, and in that, small business sellers beat the big guys every single time.

I definitely DO support buying local and from US based sellers where possible. I do, however, understand that sometimes life doesn't ((literally)) afford people the ability to do that. Where applicable, I also like to be thrifty :) and that's where Temu comes in for the jewelry world; you can get some nice things at affordable prices. These are far from heirloom pieces, but something pretty and affordable, anyway.
