No, around a year ago major media(CBS if I recall) bought at 30 or so different retail jewelry dealers. Sears WalMart Zales & many of the other "major" US brands all came in Perfect - Assayed Exactly where claimed. Problems all came from single smaller shops - downtown NYC LA Chicago - run by individuals instead of companies. If it was sold by a major US chain & or Hallmarked it was OK.
