That heirloom event; what a load of tit. Defiantly not for working class people.
Interested in those points. I don’t know much about jewellery other than the research I did for my own engagement ring. I bought an antique ring. I did think her stuff was pricey for lab grown diamonds, I wouldn’t have know that about the gold.Chupi is not truthful when talking about her business. She has a way less employees that she states. Her turnover is a way overstated look at the cro. She doesn't make it in Ireland she had no workshop. If you need something to be repaired it take weeks to get it done. She has to send it off to get it repaired. Lab grown diamonds are 30% cheaper the natural. She only uses 14k gold the prices she charges should be 18k gold with top class natural diamonds. If you were to resell her jewellery you would be lucky to get a third you paid for it. Her model of business is to hold no stock and when a piece is ordered on line she orders this abroad and you have to wait 6 to 8 weeks. If you look at her video of a ring in the new collection it is not polished on the inside and has broken prongs. She a marketing specialist not a jeweller and yes I have my years of jewellery experience. Chupi is over priced for the work and materials you are buying.i am very surprised that people spend so much on this quality of jewellery. The power of marketing
She shared a message before (anonymously) that she'd received from a jeweller basically saying that her prices were a rip off. She made it about her being a woman in business and the criticism coming from a man.I think she put up something before about getting criticism from a jeweller because she’s a woman. I did think at the time maybe it was because she’s not a jeweller.
I have to say I really like my initial necklace even if I overpaid for it. A €14k ring is a different thing altogether.
Everyone over pays for engagement rings. You’re probably a jeweler who charges people 2k+ for composite shite. Her prices are high but you’re not buying just the ring, it’s the marketing and the story.Chupi is not truthful when talking about her business. She has a way less employees that she states.

Sorry but marketing and story shouldn't be adding a couple of grand to ring prices I've no skin in the jewellery game but it's clear to anyone who does even basic research before buying that Chupi is way overpriced for the materials used.Everyone over pays for engagement rings.

Chupi has a specific customer, she’s not here to cater to the everyday person in Ireland.
If this is true, who are all the craftspeople she has in those videos about heritage crafts? She obviously doesn’t make the jewellery herself but does seem to pride herself on having everything made in Ireland. My sister had a necklace that needed fixed and she had it back in less than two weeks. Mind you this was before she did the solid gold stuff, it was only plated. Do you think things have gone abroad since the business started to grow?Chupi is not truthful when talking about her business. She has a way less employees that she states.

It is, but so are designer handbags( and again, these are not marketed to everyday people like us)Sorry but marketing and story shouldn't be adding a couple of grand to ring prices I've no skin in the jewellery game but it's clear to anyone who does even basic research before buying that Chupi is way overpriced for the materials used.
She definitely thinks she’s something special. She’s quids in with her feminist “from me to me” marketing gimmicks.I get the vibe that Chupi thinks she is some kind of feminist revolutionary.....
Wealthy women spending 1000s on a silly ring for themselves, thus in turn making Chupi a millionaire, is not feminism. Also somebody said on Glassdoor that wages were low and there was no space to grow. We don't need more female CEOs, millionaires and billionaires. We need far better and more equitable rights in the workspace.She definitely thinks she’s something special. She’s quids in with her feminist “from me to me” marketing gimmicks.
Oh yeah, I totally read it as sarcasm, I was just adding to your comment!I was being sarcastic. The jeweler who emailed her about her prices wasn’t worried about her gender, but Chupi twisted it completely. She has tapped into a gap in the market and is making the most of it.
I remember reading an article about her ages ago and thinking the exact same thing. Knowing that if things went tits up she would still be OK is a privilege that many don't have. It's easy to talk about how you must follow your dreams when you have a wealthy family to back you up.Hard agree. And this nonsense about taking a risk and leaving top shop. Easy to take “risks” when you have a nice wealthy family to cushion your fall.
