Description
Helen's gems, ad on Facebook. Images of jewelry were beautiful, realistic, and the story of Helen retiring makes you want to get in on the final days of her handmade pieces. Chose the pieces I wanted to gift at upcoming birthdays and holidays, but they never arrived. 6 weeks after the order was placed they said "no access to delivery location" I tracked the order and it apparently had to go through customs, which explains the delay, I suppose. All a scam!
