From a little googling ...

The problem is often not with the plating itself but with the base metal which is prone to corroding and oxidizing. Over time, the molecules of the base metal eventually move into the gold layer, affecting its appearance. If the gold plating is very thin, it will discolor and start to look like tarnish quickly.

And this for Regis ...

Don’t expose gold plated jewelry to chlorinated or salty water. This means taking off the jewelry before swimming in pools, hot tubs or the sea. Body oils and sweat can also impact gold plating. Keep gold plated jewelry away from chemicals, oils and makeup.

Mannnn this is like people who baby their iPhones and have them in one ton screen protectors. You just have to enjoy your stuff no one else will! I’ve worn my Taos for example to the beach and they held up fine..it was just the Ascari for some reason. Some of the older models already came with tarnished “gold” too. Maybe the 2018-2020 models were just wonky

In disbelief right now.

I ordered a pair of fellinis on the JMM site (admittedly rushed it) and then asked a local shop if they were going to receive the same model, to what they said yes. I used the form in the JMM site to request an order cancellation (all this was over the weekend), but the package was shipped anyway on monday. I contacted JMM and they said not to worry, to just refuse the parcel and they’d get the glasses back and I’d get a refund. I did as told and reserved a pair in my local store.

Today I get a notification from DHL saying that they had contacted the sender (i.e. JMM) and they were told that JMM wanted to dispose of the parcel, and they already did? WTF?

Now I’m out of 775 euros and supposedly the glasses have been destroyed (more like some DHL employee has a dope pair of fellinis now).

I’ve emailed JMM on the same thread and awaiting a response. What a clusterfuck.

I really hope they give me a refund because the way I see it either JMM or DHL is at fault. I’ve never requested a chargeback and I certainly don’t want to start now.

That's crazy but JMM is DHL's customer, not you. If JMM didn't ask DHL to put the box in the incinerator, that's between them. You never received the package so you're absolutely not on the hook. I would definitely chargeback if JMM isn't cooperative.

I hope you’re right. It’s true the parcel was never in my hands but they can claim I refused it, although I did it following their own instructions.

This must have been some massive miscommunication.

Hey guys, I've never order direct from JMM. I'm interested in trying on a pair of Vendome as well as a Fellini, knowing that there is a possibility that I send both back. What has the returns process been like for people? (I need to read their returns policy.) Restocking fee? Free return shipping?

I will read up on it, but any shared experiences would be great! Thanks!

JMM doesn't let you return if you're outside the US

Do you have proof that they instructed you to refuse it (like email)? If so, you should really be fine. Best of luck!

I just bought a pair of GT Solar

Let’s see what the hype is all about. I liked my Jagger but felt they were a bit ‘flimsy’. Hope these are better

Update to this, they’re great frames, but a bit wide on my head unfortunately. Passing on at my cost, $1375, message if interested.
