Cop 'Em Escrow Story
How to avoid a jewellery scam online in the UK?
Quick answer
Jewellery scams exploit too good gold prices and designer packaging without hallmarks. Use escrow for pieces over £500, always authenticate Cartier and Tiffany, and refuse off platform payment on Depop jewellery listings.

Shopping for gold chain and maybe Tiffany studs. Lots of too good prices. How do I avoid a jewellery scam online in the UK?
Cop 'Em
Too good gold pricing is the oldest trap. For designer pieces, packaging without stamps is useless. Use /services/escrow/jewellery when losing the purchase price would sting.
