Thinking the color of the gold jewelry is changing for the worse. I have a Belleza paperclip necklace from two years ago that I wear always along with a real gold chain and the color and quality are amazing. I love it. I bought earrings not too long ago and the gold color looks garish and ddddddddfake to me. I wear them occasionally but never feel good in them. I hope Paul can find his way back to bringing us the beautiful jewelry he used to bring.

I purchased a Belleza coin necklace a year ago because I love the Italian Lire, but it is so cheap looking, I have never worn it and will never wear it the shiny cheapness of the whole necklace it unbelievable. Paul ruined the beautiful Lire it looks totally fake.
I always liked the Lire ring Paul wears it looks real and authentic it isn’t covered with some fake shiny coating on top of it and it is set in real 14kt gold.
If he made jewelry with the Italian lire and it looked like his ring and in a color of gold that looked natural like real gold it would be worth the price he is asking but the piece, I have is so gaudy and CHEAP LOOKING I should have returned it, but I couldn’t be bothered.

I love belleza but pieces are getting too chunky for me. I prefer sleeker designs but Paul is great.

I have noticed the line has been trending to bigger and more ornate. I prefer more delicate and understated, but there is always a market for bold jewelry, so perhaps they are trying to attract a different customer.

Ditto kiddo. Going downhill to me too.
