Jeweler

This is an alleged "accusation". It involves "forgery", greed, or an insubstantial amount of "audacity".

Just the facts:

• An individual purchased 2 items from a "jeweler" at a store going "out of business".
• The items were chosen from a "catalog" than "ordered" by the "jeweler".
• Said items were or weren't identical or fraudulent as delivered to the customer.

Said store "closed".  After a period of time, one item was determined to be made from a "lesser metal" than that requested or paid for.  Actually, both.

Follow along with our backward logic:

• A "designer" setting was requested by a customer.
• The setting is ordered from a "boutique" or non-custom "designer".
• One or more reusable "casts" were then made for the purpose of creating "knockoffs".

How many times did the "jeweler" allegedly cheat customers?

We have no statement for that.

There are or are not additional details or information which is pertinent or relevant.  Another 2 or 3 "of interest" are:

• One item was made of a "non-standard alloy" (which included silver) that gave the item a "heft" or weight approaching that of gold or platinum as it should have been.
• Given the weight of one item in relation to the second, there's a non-zero chance of a toxic "lesser metal" in that alloy.
• In our opinion.
• We are not a gemologist, "jeweler", or metallurgist and have no means to "analyze" either item.
