3 /5 Angel Perez: This is a late review!! I purchased from Skip El Cazador pendant from this store a couple of years ago and had high expectations for the quality, especially since I was told it featured 14k gold holding the coin. However, last year I noticed the gold around the coin had turned brownish, which was concerning. I contacted the store, shared photos, receipts, and the certificate, and was told to send the pendant back for inspection.
Skip the store’s representative called me and explained that the gold was indeed 14k and that they had cleaned it with a yellow cloth, which they would send me. While I understand the coin might develop a patina over time, gold typically doesn’t patina the way I observed. I was hoping for more transparency regarding the authenticity of the 14k gold, as my experience suggests it may not be genuine.
I haven’t been able to visit the Keys to address this in person yet, but I plan to do so this year. It’s important for future customers to ask and feel confident that they’re purchasing authentic 14k gold, and my experience has left me uncertain about that claim.
I hope my review helps others in making an informed decision.
