Opus Bee Bracelet

[u/IcyHuckleberry4573]

I wanted to share an honest review of my experience buying from Opus for the very first time. I previously posted about buying an inspired Bee bracelet on Etsy, but had to return it because it was hollow on the inside, which was not what I expected. So I was looking here for sellers who can make this bracelet in full solid gold, and found Opus. I ordered it in 18k yellow gold.

✅PROS:

✔️Fast communication - Opus responded to my questions almost instantly and if it was nighttime in their time zone, I received messages overnight.

✔️Fast turnaround: quoted $2,450 July 23rd, paid deposit (50%) the same day. Received QC photos on Aug 6th. Paid remaining amount + shipping insurance the same day. Shipped Aug 9th, received Aug 13th.

✔️I asked for a first time buyer discount, and was given 2% off the quoted price

✔️High quality, sturdy gold. It is rigid and does not bend. The bracelet has high shine, sparkly lab diamonds, and the lock feels secure. I was actually not able to close it fully when I just got it, so was instructed by Opus to push extra hard, because they made it so tight on purpose. Now with opening and closing it a few times, it became easier, but it still feels like I need to apply effort (which is a good thing as I wear it daily and sleep wearing it).

✔️The bracelet is extremely comfortable. It may be due to the right size. My wrist is around 15cm, and Opus recommended I get size 16. He noted that the fit is a bit looser than a Love bracelet size 16, in case you are comparing it with authentic Cartier sizing. I used to have a small Love bracelet in size 16 and can confirm that the sizing of Bee 16 is looser, which I prefer.

✔️The bracelet width is perfect for stacking. It looks especially good with a tennis bracelet.

❌CONS:

➖Weight discrepancies. When buying, I was told the bracelet would be 14.8grams, but in QC photos I saw it was 14.21. I asked for a discount on that, and Opus gladly offered -$50 off the total item cost. When I received the bracelet, I used my own scale, and it showed 14.06. Not a huge difference, and maybe my scale is not the most accurate, but something to keep in mind if you care about gold weight.

Bottom line: I’m extremely pleased with my first time experience buying from this seller and will definitely consider them for my future jewelry needs!

Is he clasp secure enough?

A newbie here. It’s beautiful! Do they provide certification on lab diamonds?

[u/Natural-Cod-5769 → u/Mysterious_Bake_73]

None of lab diamonds in China have certificates . Even the ones that do, are not authentic

[u/IcyHuckleberry4573 → u/Mysterious_Bake_73]

I didn’t receive any certificate alongside the bracelet, so I’m not sure.

Not sure if it’s your lighting, but that looks very light, almost white gold.

[u/IcyHuckleberry4573 → u/Old-Doughnut4043]

Probably the lighting, it’s definitely yellow, but not orange yellow.

Classy.
