I'm new to this forum, but I have been reading most of the posts and have found them to be most helpful!
Here's my story... My boyfriend and I went ring "looking" last week and the only store that was open late was Jared. We have a family jeweler, but we thought that it would be a good idea to look around first to get an idea of what looked the best on my finger. I must say that we had a wonderful 1st time experience at Jared. We really liked the ladies that helped us and found two settings that were amazing! The BF also was very pleased with their 20% down/12 month 0% interest plan.
He's probably going to price out the ring he chooses there and bring pictures to show our jeweler to see if he can match or come down on the price. We are both extremely new to this process.
Despite loving the experience of trying on many beautiful rings (what girl wouldn't love that), when I went home to look up reviews for Jared I found nothing but awful experiences! I know that with this company being a chain, every store is different, but some of the stories were really scaring. Examples: white gold rings turning yellow after 1 month, chipped diamonds, poor workmanship, not honoring warranty. The worst part was there were hardly any GOOD reviews.
Help! Please send me any advice/experiences you can about this store. Thanks!!
**I'm also a picture lover, so if you have any pictures of your Jared rings as examples good or bad I would love to see!
