TikToker Called Out For Scamming With Fake Jewellery

[@dawnrose69]

Pulling pictures from other manufacturers and telling a third party that you want something like these is not you designing from scratch.

[@arcaderat1613]

I love that her description of drop shipping is 100% not drop shipping. For anyone who isn't aware, drop shipping is when you list an item for sale that you don't have. When it sells, you then buy it from somewhere else and have it shipped directly to the person who bought it from you. The drop shipper is a middle man that is basically just facilitating the sale between the customer and whoever is shipping and making money off the markup. Her description of drop shipping is literally just normal wholesale.

I make jewelry for a living. It’s BS like this that make it harder for us. I’ve had to prove I’ve made my jewelry by hand. She’s stealing designs…

[@fallenbee]

I definitely agree, but I will say that some of the criticisms aren't really fair. Like saying you can get it cheaper online (therefore anyone who sells their jewelry for more than those websites is automatically scamming) as a criticism is bullshit. Just because this million dollar company is selling the same type of jewelry for $1 doesn't mean someone selling it for more than that is scamming? Especially since these websites are known for selling fake jewelry, like jewelry that isn't even real metal or has plastic instead of gemstones. Of course its only $1 online, it's not real 😭 As someone who also sells jewelry, that criticism is the reason it's hard to sell jewelry. Because people don't understand why yours is this price when Amazon or AliExpress sells it for $1. They treat you like you're a million dollar business and just don't understand sales at all. Like if it's genuinely a stolen design like in this video, yeah sure that's valid. But these companies steal designs from artists, meaning that you're gonna see the same designs. So in this case, it's a valid criticism. But you can't say it's true no matter what, y'know?

[@jawaela]

@@fallenbeeSo you’re drop shipping

[@fallenbee]

​​@@jawaela???? No? Where did I say that LMAO All I said is that you can't say that AliExpress selling jewelry for $1 means that anyone selling their jewelry for more than that is automatically scamming I also said that companies steal designs from people who make jewelry or art in general, so they don't own any of the designs in the first place So you have to go case by case instead of saying how million dollar companies are selling jewelry is the right way to sell jewelry I don't drop ship, it literally takes me multiple days to finish one piece I make it all by hand. I'm just saying that you can't go off these websites for prices because the jewelry they sell is fake and they're literally million dollar companies

[@shadowman21282]

​@@fallenbee had similar situations many times but the main one I remember was a woman wanting to buy one of my necklaces at a market until she was told the price (it was on the piece, she just didn't look) and was surprised when the hand beaded, gemstone and .925 silver was $120 not $20. Also a lot of "I could make that myself"... Cool, you go do that then

[@Kayla-rd5jd]

she has done actual merch like shirts, bags, keychains, etc a few times before like maybe three times? at least some of those drops were original designs or at least a common widely used idea that she put her own spin on as she is (& moreso used to be before having her baby, a fashion influencer) i’ve followed her for a long time so i’ve seen it come out before & she’s launched jewelry before as well which i’m now wondering how much she produced that compared to this jewelry (i’m early in the vid so i have no idea if this is covered). the jewelry she made before that i’m thinking of from earlier this year or last year was also an item to she wore a lot but couldn’t be bought (can’t remember why) but i remember it being decently expensive bc i thought abt getting it so i passed. i really liked her & she definitely has had controversies before from those crazy snark reddits that hate anything she does (i like my fair share of snark but some ppl go too far) but i’m so disappointed abt this & validates criticisms of her changing negatively as of lately

It only took them a few weeks to steal her designs and she's a really small time pin up style designer here in New Zealand. Most KZbinrs, yes, do drop ship. I don't know if this is the case with this influencer but it does genuinely happen to a few designers and influences no matter how big or small

I think she’s confusing white labelling with dropshipping? White labelling is what she’s being accused of really, everyone on social media drop ships unless they hand make their product. I mean it’s not incorrect that it’s drop shipping but she seems to not realise what the term means. I’ve had friends have their art stolen by AliExpress too and it was so damaging to their business.

She's either a drop shipping middleman or basically just being a new, more expensive version of AliExpress producers by remaking designs that already exist (and in this case have already been stolen by other ppl before her lol). The moodboard thing isn't that surprising tho, some ppl do that when they work with someone who has a designer who will then do the sketch for them from the moodboard and send it to be produced. Usually in that case tho they check the sketch with the person so

[@t.s.3269]

It's not necessary that the influencer sends finished designs to a merch company. That is literally what designers are for. Yes, the producer gets a sketch with all the details, but a client will give a designer a moodboard and they design the item

[@Bebevevevebebe]

To get custom designed pieces, you have to send product designs and pay setup fees to have molds made. These setup fees can be hundreds of dollars for each element in a piece. Nobody would do that just to get samples that they may not even use. She probably got to select between a few existing elements to set her product apart slightly, but not to the extent her “from scratch” implies. Like if you went to build-a-bear and then told people it was a hand sewn bear. She also confused “drop shipping” with “white labeling” when those aren’t the same, and threw out terms like gold plated/painted like they are interchangeable. And with all the personal stories, it’s very disingenuous. Reselling pre-existing items at a higher price isn’t a conspiracy or anything, it’s how most retail works. The point where it becomes unethical is when you buy knock-off designs and tell your audience they’re paying a premium price for some bespoke artisan piece.

[@BadZaddydaGaymer]

I literally bought those bow earrings from Tesco last month 😅

If she's had jewelry for any length of time there is no link for other people to buy it It's not an existence anymore. I worked in fashion merchandising with the top jewelry companies and I can tell you that they all borrow from each other. Just about every single design that you see that has a more traditional look is it knock off of a brand called Napier. They were the first costume jewelry design company to really make it big in the United States.

Isn’t this what most shops do? Store and online? Some claim its their product but you know when your sourcing something its exactly the same product.

[@ANYHOO0]

She's just lying, i'm guessing she just buys wholesale from Alibaba and passes them off as her merch.

[@RadioactiveVikings]

Its because people don't want to do research anymore on whats been stolen/done before.

[@moronsaltable]

Is she trying to be sneaky by claiming she's not dropshipping? You're not going to dropship a $5 item from China, and that package label from Zangzong that takes a month to ship. She'd place a bulk order to herself and ship it to her customers, and that's not dropshipping

I have that stack ring and it was $5 from a booth where everything is $5 it’s a mlm company looks like that and the star necklace came from there for sure

[@MummyBrown]

This gal is being deceptive in too many ways to bother listing. Truly. Everything that came out of her mouth is questionable and too many people seem to be giving her the benefit of the doubt. She’s lying over her lies. The “man” that is calling her out made perfect points, all with receipts. Even in that, she tried to get women to ride at dawn for her with that sly comment.

All the crap comes from the same set of crap factories that make the crap - that's why all the crap looks the same!

[@creacher00]

7:26 I was just thinking the other day that the kenza cosmetic situation was how I found your channel lmao. Time flies!

[@galactabunnie]

7:28 was listening to this video while washing dishes and heard my name and got whiplash 😭

[@Mama_Bear524]

You were like “oh crap what did I do??” 😂

[@Geo-skye]

I wouldn't be surprised to learn manufacturers/suppliers are lying to and screwing over creators. But I don't believe that's what is happening here 😬

[@HuaXueXiYu]

Markie merch would be some v nice hats i think, or a football-esque jersey

[@juvyjanededios97]

I’ve seen those earrings on Shopee and it’s only about 2-3 US dollars 💀

[@ReeCrowsFray]

It’s been years since I’ve seen original jewelry. Last time was when I saw the rings made from antlers and natural stone with more geometrical ring bases and necklaces with a variety of centerpiece shapes.

[@millennialstray4215]

Anytime I see that girl I get the worst vibes

[@shelbykutil9743]

Her: “We designed them from scratch” Also her: we to what I already owned and changed it a little bit… Yeah that’s not what from scratch means.
