Spotting FAKE JUICY COUTURE Jewelry on eBay

Here are some tips to spot fake Juicy Couture jewelry on eBay:

1. The word, ‘AUTHENTIC’ is not used at all in the listing or description.

Sellers of fake Juicy use this as a tactic, so when the buyer complains they reply saying, ‘I never said it was authentic, read the description’

2. The photo of the jewelry is in the lowest possible resolution.

Try saving a photo and opening it up in a picture viewer, the photo is so small and blurry you are not able to see any detail at all.

3. The colour of the jewelry

Authentic Juicy Couture jewelry is stunningly gold-like, not dull in anyway. Not yellow, or overly shiny.

4. The thickness of the jewelry

Juicy Couture is thick, usually solid brass and gold plated, and heavy. It is designer and luxurious looking. No authentic piece will look cheap in anyway.

5. Sellers who say ‘New in Box’ and do not show a picture of the box

Juicy Couture boxes are luxurious, very fancy looking and definitely worth taking a photo of. If the item is authentic there will definitely be a photo of the box. The boxes are black or brown and gold. Replica boxes are around, check below for photos.

6. Sellers who sell ‘New JUICY COUTURE’ jewelry starting the listing at 99cents or under $40

Authentic Juicy Couture jewelry is expensive, there is no way a seller would list authentic juicy couture jewelry at 99cents.

7. Sellers listing identical Juicy Couture jewelry, at 99cents - $40, every week

Again, Authentic Juicy Couture is expensive, to have hundreds, if not thousands, of identical pieces to list every week they would have to be millionaires… these are just fake, cheap copies likely from China or their backyard garage.

8. Minimal information in description

Authentic Juicy Couture has a lot to be said about it. There would be information on exactly what it is made of, detailed information on every charm, even what year it was released.

9. Non detailed photos

There would be photos of the items in every angle, of every charm, of the box – literally everything. Juicy Couture jewelry is stunning. If the seller isn’t showing you detail of the item, then it isn’t worth taking the photos of – you would then be able to spot the cheapness of the item with multiple up-close photos.

10. The Toggle Clasp

Generally all toggle clasps are the same, on the ends of the clasp it should have black on it - replicas are just hollow-yellow gold colour (no black at all)

(fake)

11. Difference in gold colour, see above as well for the huge difference in colour.

Replicas are a very shiny, yellow colour compared to authentic.

(fake)

12. Juicy Couture logo on box

The authentic logos have a lot of detail in it, where as the replicas are just a poorly overly-gold printed logo. Also I have found with Authentic boxes, the logo changes slightly per box case and box (the 'Juicy Couture' part is on a highlighted background, then on a clear background)

(fake)

13. More stuff on boxes

I have noticed on all my authentic boxes there seems to be what-looks-like a hidden embedded security thing on the base. Where as on the replica boxes there is nothing there.  The replica boxes are also very cheaply and poorly made, with the outer case just flimsy paper-like cardboard compared to stiff quality looking cardboard.

14. Information on some Authentic Juicy Couture Jewelry boxes:

a) Bracelet box- It is Chocolate Brown and Gold, with Pink Leather lining
