I bought a set of 9ct gold earrings here. I asked the woman working there if they are actually gold and not just gold plated as I can only wear full gold earrings. She confirmed (sounded and looked annoyed) saying they were not just gold plated but actually 9ct gold. But a few hours after wearing them my ears started hurting and when I took them out the holes were bleeding. I tried again a few times but my ears just swell up, bleed and get inflamed. So these earrings are NOT gold as advertised! I now bought similar ones (9ct as well) at HSamuel for the same price and my ears are happy. I will never buy from Warren James again
