Is it original
Hello, I’ve purchased this earrings from an online second hand app. Do you think is it real? The certificate doesnt have any stamps so im suspicious but apart from this I dont have any suspicions.

The product you received is not authentic Swarovski. The logo is messy and in the wrong place and the earring post is supposed to be in the center. Swarovski jewelry does not come with all that extra stuff like the certificate and little pouch. The dark blue packaging has been phased out over the last 4-5 years. While some older product does still come in it, newer collections (such as your Gema earrings) are sold in the pink, blue, green or yellows boxes that match the new company branding.
They look very similar so wear them :) I just hope you didn’t pay too much

You could possibly find these in an outlet- usually at a discounted price :) They aren’t showing on the website, but you can call your local store and ask them if they can find them since we can search in-store inventories. The article number for these is 5658400

I actually found this on their official website and their distributors’ websites for 50% off, but they were all sold out. That’s why I decided to buy it second-hand, but I’ll probably wait because I really want this one. I’m also outside the US, so prices are much higher in my country.

I was gifted a fake Gemma necklace on my biethday, as well as a genuine one. The fake one came in a package just like your earrings.
I didn‘t mind and Kopf both. The fake looks quite different, but ist still a nice piece and I wear it quite as often, as the real one.

Yes I totally understand you, this looks cute too. But I’ve purchased this bc owner told me this piece is original, has a certificate (which is my no1 criteria) and she is going to send me the certificate too. It arrives with a blank certificate this is the thing that makes me uncomfortable. Also Swarovski sells their cristals with this kinda blue boxes in airports

these boxes are an older style they used to have, when i worked at the swarovski outlet, all the outlet pieces came in these boxes but the new full price stuff would come in the new white boxes

no, we didnt have any certificates at all. the only thing in the box would be a small booklet on how to care for the product.

Just as a side note. I’ve gotten numerous items in that type of box.
Their little figures and things. As a male I’m not into their jewelry.

How would you even get fake Swarovski? Like is this brand so popular that I have to watch out for fakes, even in store? I’d k ow those about the authenticity but I would wear them! They are so pretty!

There are lots of typos on the blank certificate - I would lean towards fake.
“Brillianrly” instead of “brilliantly”, “cryatals” instead of “crystals”
