Review of Silver Traditions

BUYER BEWARE! Last week I purchased a pair of tanzanite, white sapphire and australian opal earrings. The salesman told me they were authentic. However, I just returned from a local jewelry store (I was looking into having leverbacks put on the earrings) and was told by the jeweler that they are fake. The tanzanites are not real, the white sapphires are actually cubic zirconia and the australian opals are fake. I purchased these earrings as a gift for my Mother, I am beyond disappointed. Worse yet, I have tried multiple times to contact Silver Traditions to request a refund and it seems their phone number is not operating. Do not buy from this store!
