My boyfriend and I purchased an engagement ring from one of the PS vendors in December, and received it in early January. Although I don''t wear jewelery, and didn''t know what my ring size was, we determined I''d be okay with size 6 while trying on different sizes at a B&M jeweler, so that''s what we requested. When the ring arrived, I immediately noticed that it was quite loose. Although I was disappointed, I figured it was my own fault for not being properly sized prior to purchasing the ring. Since we''re not yet engaged, I figured I would just get it resized at some point, and put it back in its box. That was a month and a half ago. This past week, I took the ring to a local jeweler to talk about the possibility of resizing it, and I was told that the ring is actually size 7.
All of my receipts as well as the courtesy appraisal I received with the ring clearly indicate it is size 6, but a) I always thought it strange that it was so loose on me and b) I have now been told it is not. So, it will cost me roughly $80 to resize this platinum ring to size 6, and although, until recently, I was perfectly willing to pay it, that was under the assumption that it was my own fault... but now that I have reasons to believe I was sold the wrong size, I''m much less excited about the expense.
So I guess my questions are as follows:
a) should I notify the vendor?
b) what, if anything, should I expect from them (the return period has lapsed)
Thanks in advance.
