ABSOLUTELY! As a matter of fact, we see this on a daily basis. There are less the scrupulous people that will intentionally mark jewelry falsely in order to fool others. Your best defense against this is to only buy jewelry from a recognized seller, such as a jeweler, department store, or other such place.
