I spent thousands of dollars with Lawsons until I purchased an advertised authentic "Chanel" faux pearl necklace. The photos showed no damage however, when I received the necklace the black pouch it came with inside the box had deteriorated and left black residue over some of the pearls which had eaten away the coating on the beads. I complained to Lawsons and was refused a refund or any compensation. I then took the necklace into Chanel to see if the beads could be replaced. They said that this was possible but on examination they said they could not do this as they were unable to identify the necklace as one of theirs. In other words, it's fake, Further research sadly proved that this was correct - the necklace was 100% fake. So I am $1000 out of pocket for something that is absolutely worthless. I will never trust Lawsons again. Buyers beware of Lawsons fraudulent auctions.
