Report
Absolute scammer's avoid NESBITS at any cost especially when buying jewellery. They rip you off lying about the condition and selling you rubbish that you have to throw in dustbin. Nothing about the condition in adverts or pictures though, nicely done. Didn't even have the jewellery box what was on the picture everything was thrown into a plastic bag - Very Professionally done THANK YOU. Not willing to help and very arrogant on the phone. Their excuse is that is cheap so it's okay when it is in very bad condition.
