Why oh why do people not think about buying quality jewellery from sites like this! Even in this modern world you need to see, feel, ask questions before you dish out large amounts of money to goodness knows where? Truly astounded that after so many warnings people ignore warnings!

I agree. I have bought some lovely jewellery off them. I dont think people read the whole description of the items they buy.

I have bought numerous pieces of jewellery on this sight and paid through PayPal so I have added security if they are fake but every piece is beautiful. I love them - so I also think that you need to check out the product description- there are some pieces I wouldnt touch because of that.

I bought a 63.1 karat ruby. It has to be glass. When i received it I noticed that it turned the bag red. They must be just dyed it... What am I to think? I so upset I could throw up. Thinking I'm buying something nice and look what I got... They are a scam. Please if you are thinking about bidding on they item go to a legit site like ebay or take a look at amazon.

BOGUS SITE DON'T TRUST
September 18, 2017

I BIDDED ON A BRET FAUVE GOLD INLAID CARD. WHILE BIDDING THE PRICE INCREASED BUT THERE WASN'T A BIDDER AND THEN THE NEXT DAY THE ITEM WASN'T THERE.
THE PIGS ARE ASKING FOR FACEBOOK SITES WHEN YOU REGISTER SO IT COULD BE A WAY OF THEM TRYING TO COLLECT FACEBOOK SITES FOR SURVEILLANCE PURPOSES. I WOULDN'T TGRUST THEM WITH MY PERSONAL INFORMATION. THEY WOULDN'T TAKE A DEBIT CARD NUMBER OVER THE TELEPHONE FOR SOME REASON.

Fake
September 18, 2017

After reading reviews, I will not purchase from this website. Contacting BBB for complaints. If this site is indeed a scam, it should be pulled of internet.

Had one too many pieces claimed to be delivered when they didnt arrive and the latest piece cost over $160 with shipping.
Apparently I am at fault as my account has been blocked from bidding and closed. Reported to BBB simply because I want management at policeauctions to be accountable and provide answers but this isnt going to happen.
Do yourself a favour and dont buy here

False
August 27, 2017

I bought 4 pieces and all are worthless. All fake, surely the company pays people for positive comments on the parts that are worthless. And I am in doubt and afraid to return and not receive my money, I made the complaint in the state police.

I was about to sell a pair of earrings and the gold alone was worth nearly 200.00. I don't understand why there are so many other negative reviews of any of the jewelry being fake.

The site stated the bracelet was gold and ruby. It is costume jewelry. I am going to report to the consumer watchdog. Tophatter much better.

You guys are frauds!

When a customer sends a formal complaint why don't you respond!
Your products are fake, not worth $5.00, fake stones, not 925 stalling silver, not as shown in the online photo, ( using photo shop).
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SITE AS YOU WILL END UP SENDING IT BACK.

I have reported this scam and fraud to my bank and the US federal police system.

What is your return address for goods?

I will never participate in this auction again. I used a gift card to purchase 3 rolls of nickles for 125.00. They called because they couldn't verify my address but I couldn't call them right back. I never had this problem before! I was working and couldn't answer or call them right back. They cancelled the order and put the money back on a gift card that no longer exists. I have no information regarding the card. They didn't care and said it was my fault! I lost 125.00 and had to deal with people who could care less. Never again! Lucky them! They will get even more money for the nickles I paid for!

I purchased two pair of earrings. They are complete junk... one pair is so tiny they would fit perfect on a baby. The stone is just glass. The claimed value is a joke. The other pair are a bit larger but one is bent and will not clasp properly so cannot be worn without falling off your ear... be warned. If it seems too good to be true, it is. This is not a police auction of any kind. Just a bunch of liars selling junk jewelry... never again!

Bought a 14Kt 2 tone gold over sterling silver ring for friend, found out today, the gold has worn off after 6 weeks and is now plain silver, very disappointed. Feel ripped off and embarrassed for what I Recommended from you for her.
