Bought this off ebay. It was a great price at only $71, but, it's way too big. The ring was advertised as an 8 when really it's a 10.25. I can push for a refund (the seller stated no returns though in this case he misrepresented his his item so he should take it back). Or, I can send it to Artcarved and they will size it or remake it for $40 and it will take 6 to 8 weeks. I only worry that they would try to size it down 3.5 sizes instead of remaking it and I don't like the fact that it's not the size it was sold as.

Here's my one photo for now :cheeky: Has anybody ever worked with Artcarved?

I don't have any experience buying jewellery off ebay or working with Artcarved - so I can offer no opinions there, but I did want to say that I think it is a beautiful carved band.
 
Ugh, what a hassle. Do you LOVE the ring? Unless you do, I'd push hard for a refund. Did you pay by credit card where you could dispute the charge if the Seller isn't flexible?
 
I'm not sure I love it but I do like it. It's soaking in some gemcare to hopefully get some grime off :)) I pay with a credit card on my ebay purchases just in case.

If you're not thrilled with it, why go through the hassle and expense of a project? JMHO. Glad you paid with a CC and have a big company to back you. I'd contact the Seller right away about the problem, and then decide. Don't put yourself in the position where "too much time has passed" and you have less leverage, even if you decide to keep it in the end.
 
I think it's SOOOOOOOOOOO pretty!! I would wear it on a chain around my neck!!!!
 
REFUND! Don't send good money after bad.
 
The seller offered to refund my money including shipping. I'm going to take him up on it. I'm not loving it enough to try and have it sized or remade.
 
Definitely return it. You'd end up paying more for it than what you anticipated ($71)
 
Shoot! I could wear it as is. Too bad we don't have that Buy/Sell/Trade section that was briefly discussed for PS 2.0. Is it some kind of actual precious metal for $71???

Glad you have the return option though. That seems like the best solution!
 
I so wish we had an 'items to sell' section

i am looking for this exact style ring in this size for my grandma - i was wondering if you would mind sharing the seller so i could keep an eye out for the relist?
 
I actually kept it. I took it into Ben Bridge and told them what had happened. I wanted to see if they had it in my size because I was thinking of buying it brand new. The manager there told me that she was due to retire in a month and would send it off for me, no charge (normally there's a high "shipping" fee). Artcarved did in fact still make this ring and through their forever warrenty will size it at no charge. So, I'm getting a brand new ring at no extra charge for me. I would suggest surfing ebay and typing in "two tone wedding band" and clicking on only the used items. There's some great stuff out there :bigsmile:
 
congratulations thats great news, im happy it all worked out for you!

i will definitely get to stalking ebay... :Up_to_something: hehe thanks!
