I am passionate about Harmony Balls and about Honesty - hence the I would like to inform shoppers of the following;

Please be aware that many websites on the internet (including unfortunately some shops here in Etsy) are selling 'Fake Sterling Silver' Harmony Balls by stating they are 925 Sterling Silver when in fact they are merely 'silver plated'. The issue I have with this is that you the customer are being deceived.

My Guarantee to you is that I do not and never will sell fake product - all of my Harmony Balls are Hand Made from Genuine 925 Sterling Silver in Bali, Indonesia

The following may be useful to you - it is an excerpt from a detailed article on my Harmony Ball Blog at www.harmonyballs.blogspot.com (copy and paste into your browser)

"Beware Fake Sterling Silver Harmony Balls - Are you really getting Sterling Silver?"

As it is with many other items Chinese manufacturers are producing ‘copies’ of Balinese Harmony Ball pendants (and have been for many years now), and the deception is that these copies are NOT made from Sterling Silver – they are merely ‘coated’ with sterling silver. These Harmony Balls are made from a poor quality Brass alloy or Alpaca, a low grade material made from a hotch botch of minerals (often passed off as Sterling Silver) and then coated. These fake sterling silver Harmony Balls are found on all types of sites on the internet, some are big name reputable sites.

Some fakes are stamped ‘C925’ on the top of the stem where normally on a genuine Balinese Harmony Ball would be set a gemstone. The mark ‘C925’ indicates ‘coated with 925’ BUT no-one else in the world does this or uses such a mark so it is very deceptive, most people assume it means 925 Sterling Silver.

Some ‘fake’ copies do not have the stamp at all as some Chinese manufacturers realize that the ‘C925’ deception is less impacting these days. They are now even producing Harmony Balls that also have ‘fake gemstones’, using cheap crystals instead of real gemstones.

These non-genuine Harmony Balls look good and seem to be of reasonable manufacturing quality but they lack the ‘hand crafted’ appearance of a genuine Balinese Harmony Ball crafted by a village silversmith with skills passed down through generations – these copies look ‘manufactured’.

The issue is that as a consumer you are being deceived in many cases by the presentation of these copies in the description as ‘Sterling Silver’, ‘C925’ or even just the term ‘Silver’ which to many people is assumed to be Sterling Silver - the important thing is that the 925 ‘Coating’ WILL WEAR OFF eventually.
