Macy's Headquarters, New York

Ronaldinho bought jewelry items with rubies from Macy's, JCPenney, Lord & Taylor and Littman Jewelers, and filmed them in secret.

At the time of purchase, the salesperson at Macy’s said that the ruby ​​used on the jewellery was “natural” and “true”; at the Litman jewellery store, the salesperson said “absolutely authentic”; and Rohde & Taylor’s and JCPenney's salesperson's statement is rather vague, saying that its ruby ​​contains both "lead glass" and "natural authenticity." However, when Ronaldinho gave these jewels to the authorities for identification, they found that there were many counterfeits.

The $1,200 ring from Macy's has a glass content of 90% and a real value of $600. Moreover, these "rubys" are man-made: unlike real rubies, lead glass rubies are not naturally occurring, but are mixed with low-grade corundum in lead glass and natural rubies, subjected to high-temperature treatment, low-temperature cooling, and then Processing and polishing. However, only by the naked eye, customers simply cannot judge which is true and which is false.

With the aid of a microscope, gemologist Gary Smith clearly discovered the bubbles inside the artificial ruby, while the natural gemstones were free of bubbles. In addition, the artificial ruby ​​will quickly show cracks and even cracks when it is in the detergent, and the real ruby ​​will become more and more sturdy. For the "fake" thing, world-renowned gemologist Antoinette Matlins said with deep heart and soul, "These (lead glass rubies) are not unusual, not precious, and not lasting."

Gary Smith suggested that it is best to be accompanied by a senior gemologist when buying a gem; if you find that you were cheated when buying jewelry, you can ask for a refund.

After Ronaldinho found these malls to respond to the request, the mall made a public description of the product: the trademark has been shown to contain lead glass in the ruby, or mentioned in the online introduction. Glass-containing rubies were introduced only this spring. Because the system trademark was wrong, the sales assistant mistakenly thought that the ruby ​​jewelry was a genuine gem. "And said that the mall will remove the word "authentic" in the trademark.

Macy’s Department Store acknowledges that “the ruby ​​jewellery sold at Macy’s is almost always filled with lead glass on the basis of red mineral corundum.”

A spokesman for Rhodes and Taylors said that consumers can make a full refund if they are not satisfied with the Effie jewelry they bought in their store.

Several major shopping malls also said that they will retrain their sales staff. Hey, is there any kind of thing that you want to cover?
