And I brought my blue tourmaline with me in case I saw a setting I fancied, and at one store, after I said it was a blue tourmaline, the guy didn't believe me. And then proceeded to weigh it and then whip out his refractometer (without asking if he could, he kind of just started moving around with it in TWEEZERS which nearly had me holding my breath, but he didn't drop it). And of course everything checked out ok, it was just so weird. I mean, what if it hadn't checked out, would he have told me it's a fake? That hardly seems the way to make a sale.
Anyways, I just thought it was funny that he didn't believe me and felt the compulsion to make sure I wasn't fibbing
It's as if I was trying to sell him something instead of the other way around!
Has this ever happened to you? I wasn't really sure how to react to it. I mean, nobody selling jewelery ever tested my diamond to see if it was real
Seems bad for business.
ETA: And no, still haven't set it yet..
