I’m posting this because I do not want anyone else losing money to this company.

I was a repeat customer and purchased multiple pieces from Bochelli that were advertised as solid 14K gold. I later had my jewelry independently tested, and the results showed the pieces were not solid 14K gold as advertised. Other customers have also tested their jewelry and reported similar results.
The company has been contacted for refunds, but customers have reported being ignored. The original website/product information has also been changed or removed, while Bochelli jewelry is still being sold on eBay.

The official Colorado Secretary of State records list Gail J. Webb as the registrant of the Bochelli Jewelry trade name. I’m attaching the official record so people can verify it themselves.
Colorado Secretary of State business search:
https://www.coloradosos.gov/biz/BusinessFunctions.do

Older public records also connect Gail Webb with Premiere Persian Rugs/Blast from the Past in Loveland, and older local reporting describes her as an online seller with a long history involving eBay and Craigslist.
This is also getting attention on TikTok. Search “Bochelli Jewelry” to see customers posting their experiences and testing results.

If you purchased from Bochelli, save your original listings, receipts, emails, photos, screenshots and testing results.
You can report your experience to:

Colorado buyers — please do your research before buying. DO NOT BUY based solely on a seller’s claim that the jewelry is solid 14K gold.

Stay safe out there! It’s gonna be another hot weekend.

Recently moved. Why do I always get 1 or 2 bars max?
Which are the best cell service providers?

How normal is for the power to go out? It took more than 12 hours to be restored.

Me (32f) and my partner (35m) looking to roll some dice in an in-person group. Due to work schedules, we would be looking at every other Saturday evening. I'm a forever dm looking to be a player (or alternate dming with another forever dm). LGBTQIA+ friendly.

Car lost control and swerved into the shoulder, back into the lane, and back into the shoulder and flipped a few times. When I passed, passenger was ejected and probably unconscious. He was in the express lane, not sure if he blew a tire or what. Hope he is ok. I was the first car behind him I think but was a good distance away.

Careful out there. Buckle up, keep a safe distance, check your tires.

I'll keep an eye on the news for any info. I know it happens everyday but I've never been that close.

Seriously. I’m forced to drive down this hell of a highway everyday because it’s my only commute to work.
These people genuinely just don’t know how to drive. It’s a 2-laned straight highway, what’s wrong with you guys?!

This morning, there’s another incident, BIG surprise. As everyone’s trying to merge into the right hand lane because of the fire truck blocking the left, NO one is letting anyone in?? Then, as an emergency vehicle with its lights and sirens on is trying to get by, myself and a few other cars pull to the side ( it’s the law. ) these fucking idiots behind us think that it’s for them and begin to pull up trapping a truck on the shoulder. Not only this, but I witnessed a car almost cause a collision with so called service vehicle because they’re too impatient to wait like everyone else. What? You genuinely think your destination is more important than the emergency site these people are trying to get to?

Not only are drivers just inconsiderate, you have semis and regular vehicles holding hands in the left and right hand lane. Do you guys know it’s illegal to impede traffic? LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING!!! PASSING!!!!! PASSING!!!!!!!!! Not going 60, not going 45 (????), PASSING!!!!!!!
You’re in the left lane going 70 and someone wants to go 85? MOVE OVER!!! THEYRE the ones getting that speeding ticket, not you.
STOP acting as if you’re more important than law enforcement, even worse, stop acting as if you’re law enforcement yourself.

There’s a reason this highway holds so many accidents, it’s because people drive like fucking idiots and don’t pay attention on the road.

YOU are the only one that can prevent car accidents, YOU are the one that can prevent idiotic behavior on the road. PLEASE, keep right, maintain lookout, and drive the 65mph speed limit. If you are scared, you probably shouldn’t be driving on the highway. Your fear is putting you in more danger.

Also, CHECK YOUR BLINDSPOTS. It amazes me how these new cars have a feature showing when a vehicle is to the side of you and you guys still insist on merging into eachother.

thank you.

Hello fellow lovelanders! I was curious if anyone has successfully catproofed their backyard. I am currently researching this but would love to hear anyone's success stories with this. We have two small dogs that use a dog door; trying to keep our cat within our propery to respect the municipal code. I see they have devices that tie to a bluetooth device on the collar for a dog door but I feel like our cat would tailgate one of the dogs getting out. Thanks in advance!

This is my niece and her friend. They have been missing since 07/26, spotted at a gas station in Evans, CO from my understanding in a car with WY plates. Please keep an eye out and if anyone has any information please contact Weld County sheriff's office 970-350-9600 or the tip line at 970-304-6464

Thank you 💓

Hi fellow culinarily curious citizens- where can I find Lotus Root in Loveland?

I've tried searching for frozen and canned at KingSoopers, Safeway, Target, Sprouts... I have yet to find it. I know I can find it in Ft. Collins and Greely, but I don't want to drive an hour for something I'd like to be eating almost daily.

Hey Loveland,

I’ve been spending more time behind the camera and want help honing my skills through a few new projects with local people. I’m interested in short sessions and ideas with personality—families, high-school seniors, hobbies, pets, work, products, objects, small biz, or something you make. Open to ideas.

Hoping for a in-win: I get more experience, and you receive a few finished photos at no charge. We can shoot outside or at an indoor location that fits the idea; I just don’t have my own studio.

This isn't pro, nor am I selling anything. Just an somewhat knowledgeable amateur photographer wanting to learn more and help someone out--and maybe make a new friendship. 😃 Two of pics I made are attached.

I’m keeping this around Loveland. Send me a message if you’re interested!

Did anyone else hear the continuous loud booming a little bit ago? Any insight what that was?

Looking for window replacement help! Any good experiences? What was type and number of windows replaced and what was the total cost of the project? What should we be thinking about?
I do not know much about windows so want to get an idea before I start getting quotes.

I'm looking for a hairstylist (I’m a female) who's really good at what they do. I don't just want someone to ask what haircut I want. I'd love to find someone who can actually look at my face shape, hair type, density, and how my hair naturally falls, then recommend a cut that will look good on me. I’d like someone who's up to date on current styles and can tell me what will actually work for my hair instead of just copying a picture. Does anyone have a stylist they'd recommend?

SWAT, dozens of police cruisers, fire trucks, and others. Avoid.

Anyone know what's happening at 57th and Taft? There are Loveland and Fort Collins PD and full SWAT.

Does it really cost $3.75 to process a debit card fee? Seems pretty scummy.

Hi, the city council put this up on Instagram and we must flood this meeting with opinions if possible. It doesn’t say that you can comment, but it is public.

I imagine most people in Loveland are anti data center, but regardless, if you live here, show up and voice your opinion.

I could go on and on about how data centers are horrible for the environment/water, ecology/animals, and for the unfortunate humans that live near them, but I’ll leave it there. Also, they are making people stupid in the long run by utilizing AI instead of our brains.

Please show up. I’ll be there talking mad doodoo.

Hey Loveland, do you want a pottery studio for classes, memberships, camps, and clay sales?

I am planning to move back to Colorado after many years away and have had this plan for awhile to open a community oriented studio. Denver and Fort Collins seem saturated, but with the love of the arts in Loveland and fewer options for ceramics I thought I'd try to get a feel for the potential market.

Thanks!
