Sadly, many times a person enters our store wanting a piece of jewelry repaired, and we have to tell them it is not repairable simply because the quality is poor or the gems are not even real. That always saddens us every time it happens. Last month a lady dropped in to have ring resized? I had to turn the repair down due to poor metal quality, and even after telling her that: She said but it is a good ring and I paid over $1500 for it. I then showed her the exact ring in my case for under $100 but made with solid sterling silver and gemstones. Once more it saddened me. But my integrity as a jeweler held firm. We guarantee every loose gemstone we sell to be exactly what we describe and the quality as well. That simple!
