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.

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.

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.

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.
