Maybe some of you who have experience with settings and help me understand this situation better.
I’m dealing with a Jeweler who own two stores in two different locations.
Me and my girlfriend went to visit Store #1 and the Manager said my girlfriend was a size 6 ¼ however when she wore a wedding band she the 6 ¼ engagement ring didn’t fit. She was now a 6 ¾.
The Manager said to buy the engagement ring at 6 ¾ with sizing beads.
I then went to their Store #2 since it was closer to my work. I told that lady that your Manager in Store #1 said 6 ¾ with beads. The lady said, “Maybe we will just do a 6 ½ instead”. I said, “Your employee said 6 ¾”. She said, “A quarter size won’t do much”.
The next day I called Store #1 and spoke to the Manager. She said to send your girlfriend back in the store without her knowing. So, in went the girlfriend for another sizing. When my girlfriend left the Manager called me and said, “She is a 6 ½ because it’s very hot outside but with a wedding band she’s a 6 ¾. I recommend 6 ¾ with sizing beads”.
I told the Manager to call down to Store #2 and tell the lady that…
A few weeks later I received a call from Store #2 telling me the setting was ready. I asked “what size ring is it?” She said, “what you ordered… 6 ½”. I said, “No, the Manager said she was a 6 ¾ with beads”. She said, “I thought we went over this already”.
I got off the phone with her and called the Manager at store #1. She then called me back saying everything is okay, I spoke to the lady in Store #2 and when you pick up the setting it will be 6 ¾ with sizing beads.
Today, I get a call saying it’s completed. I said, “Does it have sizing beads?” She said, “Do you really want them?”.
I almost screamed! I felt like I was on Candid Camera.
I said, “I just want it to fit. I didn’t make up sizing beads myself your manager told me she needed them”.
She said, “Lets do without them and see how it fits, if she needs them we can add them”.
I’m going to see the ring next week. I have a feeling that it’s going to be a 6 ½ or even worse 6 ¾ without beads.
Remember, she’s a 6 ¼ normal, 6 ½ in hot weather and 6 ¾ with a wedding band on…
so the suggestion of her Manager was 6 3/4 with beads. When you get married, remove the beads.
Should I worry about this or is a ¼ of a size no big deal?
I put money down on the ring in form of a check and I''m very tempted to ask for my money back and just walk away. Never thought it would be this difficult.
