Protecting Customers From Fake Sellers
Fierce Drag Jewels has seen an increase in unauthorized sellers using the brand name on outside websites, marketplace platforms, and social media pages. These listings do not come from John Griffin and they do not represent the quality or craftsmanship of the real studio. This page explains how to stay safe, how to recognize a fraudulent seller, and how payment should be handled when ordering directly from Fierce Drag Jewels.
1. Fierce Drag Jewels Only Accepts Payment Through the Official Website
All payments for custom jewelry or ready to wear pieces are processed through the official website:
Payment never happens on third party marketplaces, private messages, or social media posts. If you are asked to pay through any of the following methods, the seller is not part of Fierce Drag Jewels:
- Cash App
- Zelle
- Venmo
- PayPal personal transfer
- Facebook Pay
- Messenger chat
- Direct Instagram message
- Random invoices from unknown emails
- Any outside link
Only payments processed on the official website are recorded, verified, and added to the production schedule.
2. Fierce Drag Jewels Does Not Sell on Marketplace Platforms

3. How to Spot a Fake Seller
Unrealistic prices
If the price is far too low for custom craftsmanship, it is not from the studio.
Payment requested outside the website
Scammers push fast transfer apps with no protection. Fierce Drag Jewels never uses these methods.
No order confirmation
Real orders receive an email confirmation from FierceDragJewels.com with an order number.
No tracking information
All real orders include tracking once shipped.
Stolen or low quality photos
Fraudulent sellers often use screenshots, cropped photos, or images pulled from social media.
Rushed or unprofessional communication
Real studio communication is clear and respectful. Scammers often sound inconsistent or vague.
4. How to Verify a Resold Piece
Some performers and collectors resell authentic Fierce Drag Jewels items that were originally purchased from the studio. Buyers have the option to verify these pieces before purchasing.
If you are considering a resale purchase, you can contact the studio directly with photos or details of the item. The team can confirm whether:
- The piece was originally made in the studio
- The design matches authentic construction methods
- The stones and metal finishes match genuine materials
- The build quality reflects a real Fierce Drag Jewels item
You can reach the studio through the contact information on the official website. This is the safest way to confirm authenticity.
5. How to Stay Safe When Buying Jewelry
- Always check out through the official website
- Never send money through private messaging
- Look for confirmation emails and valid order numbers
- Contact the studio if anything feels suspicious
- Verify resale items when needed
- Report fake listings when you see them online
Your safety and confidence matter. The studio is always available to help verify authenticity and protect customers from fraud.
