Sometimes. I bought many great items on Etsy, but I also bought and paid for jewelry that was not acceptable. The photos were magnified 100 times which leads you to believe the jewelry is normal size. If you buy something on Etsy that is not what you wanted because the description was not accurate you are out the money. It can be really tiny or fine. Etsy sides with any dishonest seller and offers no customer support. Forget returns. Etsy will stop you from opening a case or fling a negative review. They protect dishonest sellers. His name is Nathan Nabat. He sells jewelry on Etsy. His company is Nabati Jewelry. Never buy from this seller. He cheated me and others and Etsy protects him. I returned the ring I bought and now I am out the $2000 and the ring. And to top it all off he is calling and harassing me. Police report filed yesterday. Good luck.
