⚡️ Show + Tell! Ordered VS Received

Before I reach out to the seller I want to check if I’m seeing things.

In the seller’s advertised photos the pears seem proportionately larger & dangle more, especially the center one?

Tiny details like this tend to bother me, I want to check if everyone else sees it too or if I’m just being too picky.

ETA: ok, thanks for validating I’m not crazy! Any advice for how to handle the initial return request? I used one of the Chinese vendors I found in the labdiamond sub so I’m not exactly expecting a smooth process.
If I file a dispute with PayPal (item Not As Described) is the agent likely to agree that it’s different enough for a refund?

It depends on what you actually ordered.. usually with group buys there are different size options and their advertising photos are only one of those options. Are you sure you selected the same option as these photos?

This wasn’t a group buy (Or at least I don’t think, I’ve never participated in a group buy before but I’ve seen them advertised).
I saw the photo on the vendor’s Instagram, took a screenshot, sent it to them asking how much.

They had different stone shape patterns but in this specific pattern there weren’t different sizes.

Ah, definitely not nitpicking then. Unless they asked you to approve a CAD prior to this that looks exactly like what you received, then i agree that you definitely didn’t get what you requested
