I love jewelry, and am willing to pay the big bucks for a coveted piece. But, luckily, I have never been duped into paying the big bucks for junk under an elite label. Some jewelry buying people have not been so fortunate. The high priced pieces of jewelry shown below are SOLD OUT at Net a Porter.

This piece, a Lanvin crystal cuff, is $1,390. It is colored glass on metal. OK, I was in the jewelry business for some time and can tell you with certainty, this piece is absolutely worthless. Literally, the accrued costs of all the pieces is less than $1. Yet many people have been duped into buying junk.

Dittos with this Lanvin necklace, glass and metal, $2,730.

This Marni stone necklace is $900. This is stone, ribbon and metal. Again, worthless. All components worth less than $1.
