Temu-Ramsch sold at a higher price in a Viennese store

Small print with a big impact: on the back of the jewelry cards is the note "Made in P.R.C." - i.e. made in China. For many buyers, this is only recognizable at second glance, but the price immediately gives the impression of high quality.(Bild: Krone KREATIV/privat, Mario Urbantschitsch)

A chic jewelry store in Vienna's Mariahilf district, lots of gold, TikTok hype - and the suspicion: goods from China, sold on at a high price. A reader contacts the "Krone" and submits photos and an invoice.

It shines, it sparkles, it looks high quality. When you enter the store on a popular shopping street, you are reminded of a designer label rather than junk goods. Bright rooms, lovingly arranged chests of drawers, necklaces, rings and pendants. The store is heavily advertised on TikTok, where it mainly reaches young customers. But this is where the doubts begin.
