When my husband called the store to express his displeasure with the manager, they said the Owner/ Jeweler wanted to speak with him. Would that be ok? He said sure, but he is not going to continue to insult us.
Love the jewelry, people and service at the Jewelry Exchange! I receive lots of compliments on my jewelry and I wouldn't go anywhere else!
Needless to say when my husband showed up to pick up the ring I had repaired, the jeweler ducked out of site.
The girl at the register, a new girl, claimed I had a busted prong and a chipped diamond on my channel set diamond band. Ok this is platinum, I would had to hit my ring pretty hard, and I surely would have remembered. I baby my rings! Then the owners daughter comes over and proceeds to tell me I have a few loose diamonds, and off set diamonds, wrong shaped diamonds, not enough prongs....She was on a roll!!! She also said they would not guarantee a cleaning, yet it had just been cleaned three weeks ago. She tells me there is a chance of diamonds falling out if I don't repair it.
BEWARE
Also, I expect this company to respond with more lies to cover their reputation....however I have nothing to lose, I have already found a much better jeweler.
I have always felt comfortable going into this establishment, however, that ended a week ago. I went in to have my daughter's ring repaired, and while waiting, I decided to have my platinum wedding set cleaned. Now I had just spent $400 back in November, not even a month ago, to have it sized up. They supposedly checked my ring before and after to make sure all diamonds are in good shape. And every other time they have worked on sizing or cleaning it!
I asked her could this have happened while sizing it up? She said No, only when you size down this can become a problem. Using her hands demonstrating how sizing down is what causes it, and THEY were NOT responsible. However, this a Bold Lie. Research clearly states resizing a ring UP, Channel or Pave set diamonds become loose or could even fall out! Now my Anxiety level is rising for fear of my diamonds falling out, they claim I have NO WARRANTY with them even though I just spent $400 on a resizing a few weeks ago!!
We love this place! We have done a ton of business with them and never been disappointed. We love everyone especially Kelly and Teresa! So nice that they clean jewelry for free whenever you want. Can't say enough good about the JE.
I wouldn't go anywhere else for my jewelry needs. Very honest and trustworthy company! I get so many compliments on my ring and I tell everyone I know to use Jewelry Exchange. Kelly and Teresa were awesome to work with.
Absolutely the best place to buy jewelry! We drive from Charlotte to Hickory just for their great service and beautiful selection.
Ok so if this wasn't bad enough, my total embarrassment and anxiety level rises to the peak when the OWNER, the jewelry repair person, comes out to further insult my beautiful ring. He had given his daughter another ring to show the new girl differences using my band as an example!!!!! He proceeded to insult me in front of others by saying this is a PLATINUM ring, and I really can't believe an Artisan would work with Platinum in this way. I said my ring has been in your store many times how come this was NEVER brought to my attention. He said he does not like to point out defects of someone's ring. HOWEVER not only is he doing it, his daughter is as well in front of others, including a customer standing right at the counter staring over!!!! I was So Very Distraught all I could do was say give me my ring back and I left.
This is an estate ring so we expect wear, however this place boldly lies to their customers to make money off of them!!
