My partner bought me a Links London charm bracelet for my 21st birthday, 3 years ago. I absolutely loved it thought at the time it was a very extravagant gift for him.
Since then I've added more charms for my graduation and birth of my son - it has much sentimental value.
One of the charms came loose so I took it to the shop today to have it repaired. The lady said she couldn't find the matching metal and consulted her manager - turns out its a very good fake. I was embarrassed to say the least, she didn't fix it for me but gave me the parts to do it myself as al my charms are real and she felt I was a genuine customer. She was extremely apologetic, it wasn't her fault though! She said they see a lot of fakes and a lot of website online are very convincing that its the real product.
So should I tell DP I know it's a fake? I don't know whether he thinks it is real or deliberately gave me it knowing it wasn't real because he felt he had to get me an extravagant gift.
I'm gutted not because the bracelet is fake but because it now has a lot of sentimental value. I wouldn't care of it was a £20 Argos charm bracelet...it's the thought and sentiment that matters and not it feels tainted.
