No, but their prices seem a bit high.
Also I noticed that with some of their rings they aren’t fully disclosing “damage”. There’s an Edwardian emerald shape sapphire and 2 diamond ring and you can see that there are chips on the corner facets, but not mentioned in the listing.
I’d check any piece you like very well. Ask for extra photos even.
Note their return policy for items over $1500 is “store credit only”.
Hmmmm.

I have bought from them. I think the prices are very high. I wasn’t happy with my purchase and returned the ring. The refund took about a week longer then I would have liked. (There was nothing wrong with the ring that I could see, it just didn’t work for my project.) the customer service was fine.
As a side note, is there a family connection between Butter Lane and the seller CJ Antiques (nalfie)?

I bought and returned a ring due to the bottom of the shank being too thin and a chip on a diamond girdle (both unstated) It was a bit overpriced, but I like the ring enough to be willing to pay, but not with the need to repair the shank and deal with a chipped diamond. They took it back without any issue and I don't recall any issue with the refund check.

I have bought from them, nice seller, pretty honest and the prices are reasonable, I’d say.

Mr Alex Alfieri of Butter Lane Antiques rented our property. He left owing a number of month's rent and left us with signficant damage to the property. He used Butter Lane Antiques as his forwarding address and previously his income from this business to justify his ability to pay.
We tried to reach a fair settlement for the debts but he stopped returning our messages. We have since secured a County Court Judgement against him which is highlighted below. I will happily remove this review once the judgement has been settled.

Interesting. I saw a lovely necklace at their booth at a recent jewelry show and was considering buying it. But after reading the many negative google reviews, I'm definitely not doing that.

I don't see it on results anywhere, but I'd like to know how to find it.

I don't know which review is @ilovegemstones 's, but I put a link to the google reviews in my previous comment. I count 7 one-star reviews. I presume hers is one of them.

Thank you!
Uegh, troubling patterns, for sure. Shady and what a weird way to run a business. Makes no sense!

Thank you for taking the trouble for me. I'm sorry that happened to you.
Dude is just a straight scammer and nasty as a person to boot.
It's like he delights in causing maximum pain. Gross.

His whatsapp messages were very mean and nasty. I was shocked. Thank you
