This negative review is False.
I dispute Mr.Faulkins negative review. First of all .925 sterling silver oxidizes fast - aka - black tarnish. If he took it to the best jeweler in S.F. The jeweler should have told him this. The viking workshop does not Rhodium plate any type of silver. I am a certified Appraiser. I see jewelry a10th of my day.....rhodium plating is known as Bling or Street Bling or Shine &amp; Flash and no Cash. Mexican &amp; Italian gold &amp;  silver is cut with PEWTER most of the time NOT nickel or copper or manganese . Rhodium plating stops oxidizing issue., only for so long. Sweat, body acids will peel rhodium over time. This is why grandma would get out the Holiday silver and would have to clean &amp; polish for thanksgiving &amp; christmas meals. Silver oxidizes just sitting. The jeweler should have told him this. I do not Trust Italian &amp; Mexican gold or silver because Pewter is almost impossible to separate out. We call it B.S. Gold &amp; silver. SO...The Viking Workshop is getting a False review. Work with them for a clasps but do what this so called best jeweler in S.F. DID NOT TELL YOU....I seriously doubt this is the best jeweler in S.F.....For a $300.00 + necklace , No Way. S.F. Is one of the top 3 most expensive cities in the U.S.A. To live in. If you want street Flash, go to a cheap strip mall and get so called .925 Italian silver for $28.00. Rhodium plated of course, Rhodium plating is used to hide things also, like pewter. I like it when sterling dull's, I know what I've got. But , if you want rhodium plated Street FLASH in a cars headlights at 1:00am... Fine. But the VIKING WORKSHOP does not deserve your negative review. You wouldn't work with them. Sterling must be - cleaned - polished - and sealed. Best Jeweler in S.F.....HAH !!!! B.S. A cheap pawn shop jeweler would have sold you the cleaner,polish &amp;sealer. Viking workshop does not deserve this review.
