WARNING: Avoid Flawlessly Fused on 1st Ave at all costs

Hey y’all, this is a PSA to anyone who is thinking about getting jewelry at Flawlessly Fused on 1st ave. The owner engages in some pretty egregious business practices and I just wanted to call it out here to a wider audience so that hopefully I can help prevent others from falling prey to their deceptive practices.

Initially I started having doubts about this place because the bracelets sold to me as solid gold began tarnishing so I checked out their google reviews. **Many** people have reported that the owner is deceptive about their prices, that they are not listed clearly in the store, and the owner does not disclose the true price until the bracelets are welded to your wrist. The owner also called the cops on three of her customers for pushing back against the price, saying they didn’t agree to the $1700 price tag and asking to have the jewelry removed and pay her for her time. These customers were forced to sign a handwritten contract saying they wouldn’t leave negative reviews which is definitely illegal and you can see the pictures of these contracts in their Google reviews. **edited to add: the owner is very unprofessional in how she responds to negative reviews as well. she either accuses her customers of lying about visiting her business or she responds defensively with multiple paragraphs. it’s crazy work

I tried to request an itemized receipt and was also accused of lying about visiting their store, and then I provided a screenshot of the transaction on my bank statement. The owner then told me that the address provided by their merchant on my statement was incorrect, and therefore I was not a client at their store. She backtracked immediately once I asked if she was confirming in writing that it wasn’t her business and therefore I’d dispute the fraudulent transaction. Conveniently, she was then able to track down my receipt but refused to provide me an itemized breakdown because it was keyed as a custom amount and said that based on the price the bracelets were certainly not solid, though she declined to provide me with a breakdown of what the chains actually cost today.

All in all, please please avoid this business and save your money! I’m not looking for any resolution by making this post, just trying to be a good citizen and warn my fellow Seattleites not to spend their hard earned money on this scammy business.
