Buyer beware of fakes!

Buyer Beware!! Photo shows a real Kate Spade Dot ring holder on the right, and what I believe is a FAKE ordered from this seller on the left. I owned an original of this ring holder, purchased at Nordstrom, which I absolutely loved and used daily for a few years. I bought another for my daughter after she admired mine (that’s the real one shown in the picture). Unfortunately, I recently dropped and broke mine, so I was looking for a replacement. The picture in this listing looked exactly the same as mine, so after doing some shopping around I finally ordered it. It arrived today, and the box and Lenox papers looked authentic, but when I saw the holder I immediately knew something was “off” about it. Here is what is wrong: First, the bottom lacks the concave indentation, and without that the holder just spins around. Secondly, what looks like glass (with wavy flaws) is dull in comparison to the original crystal. Thirdly, the original was made in one piece, and as the picture of this listing shows, it gently curves upward to the post. The copy I received appears to be two pieces attached at the base of the post. And lastly, the post itself is suppose to be thicker and flat topped (as shown in the photo), but the one I received is thinner and rounded at the tip. So much is “off” on this piece, which is obviously a poor imitation, that I am not hesitating to send it back. It’s definitely not worth the price!
