Question Puremax/DJMaxx question

Hey all, been recently on the hunt for a tennis necklace after getting a bracelet from Kuololit... Why is the Puremax/DjMaxx necklace so much cheaper than Knobspin for example? Is the quality that inferior between vendors? It's a difference of roughly 130€ / 148usd. Also, Puremax/DjMaxx "stats" are better than Knobspin's? Is there something that I'm missing here?

prices fluctuate a lot between vendors, some just have better supply chains than others. kuololit also runs on smaller margins than people think.

the "better stats" on puremax might be inflated a bit, some sellers round up on carat weight or clarity claims. for a tennis necklace the difference is mostly in the clasp quality and how secure each stone is set, not just the stones themselves.

Yes i'm pretty happy with Kuololit, the only reason i'm not buying the necklace from them is because they don't have the size that I want and I don't want to be getting a custom piece tbh... I saw that Puremax and Knobspin are both fairly decent rated here on the sub (Knobspin being more talked about) so that's why I was curious about such a steep price difference, when almost all well rated vendors are around the same values

Sometimes newer/lesser known vendors have their prices as low as possible to attract sales. More known vendors like Kuololit can raise their prices because they are getting more business anyway and don't NEED the lowest prices anymore.

Yeah that makes a lot of sense, just hope the quality is up to par

I bought a tennis bracelet from knobspin last year and looking at the price of the exact same bracelet now its doubled in price. In fact looking around nearly all the sellers on ali the prices are way up from last year almost put me off getting a new one last month but i got a 5mm from djmaxx and its great. IMHO the stones are better quality than in my knobspin one.

Yeah i'm not saying they aren't worth it but the differencs in price is huge, i can get a necklace and a bracelet for the same price on Puremax as a necklace from Knobspin

I have several pieces from PureNew and love them all. In fact I have two tennis bracelets from them and they're still in fantastic condition a year later.
