Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from synthetic exterior and adhesives, Azo dyes in colored fabric lining and Microplastics from synthetic material degradation on the Helzberg Diamonds and not on the Macy's.
  • We flag Formaldehyde off-gassing from MDF and Adhesive or glue volatiles from wood joints on the Macy's and not on the Helzberg Diamonds.
  • The Helzberg Diamonds is Fabric lining, likely polyester or cotton blend; exterior typically leather or synthetic material where the Macy's is velvet and polyester lining, wood/MDF box, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
