I need to be honest. I bought a men's crucifix cross necklace from another seller online, and I was seriously disappointed. I'm talking "lesson learned the hard way" kind of disappointed. It looked good in the pictures, but the reality was a cheap, flimsy piece of junk. I'm not usually one to complain, but this was a waste of money.
Here’s what went wrong with my first purchase:

I was burned. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. It made me question buying jewelry online altogether. It’s tough to tell what you’re really getting from just pictures.
After that disaster, I almost gave up. But then, my wife suggested I check out BlingCharming Necklaces. She had bought some other jewelry from them before and had a good experience. I was hesitant, but I decided to give it one last try.
When my Blingcharming order arrived, the difference was night and day. I ordered their Gifts For Her Him Men Women Boyfriend Girlfriend Personalised Love Wife Husband Necklace Stainless Steel Valentines Day Gitts Gift Pouch. The quality was immediately obvious. The weight of the stainless steel felt solid and substantial. It wasn’t that cheap, tinny feeling I got from the last one. It came in a nice gift pouch too, which was a nice touch.
Here’s what impressed me:
The craftsmanship was excellent. It looked like something I would be proud to wear, or give as a gift. It gave me a feeling of confidence that I didn't get from the first purchase. It was a huge relief.
Based on my experience, paying a bit more for quality really does make a difference. Super cheap usually means low quality. Blingcharming found a great balance between price and quality, and delivers a high-quality product at a reasonable price.
I decided to do a little more digging to find out if my experience was a one-off or a pattern. Here’s what others are saying:
