okay, i have a "rant" and a question.
first, i''ll start with my question.
the diamonds that are set in a chanel setting, how are they held there (what is that called)?
second, my "rant"..
alright so I bought a chanel setting diamond band a while ago(about 7 months ago) in white gold. (actually it was a present) okay, and this ring was bought at the "mall".. I know I know, but it was a good price, and it wasn''t bad looking at all.
okay, so anyways, i had bought a ring from that same store about a year ago and was told by the manager that i had to bring the ring in every 6 months to keep my warranty valid(because it was diamonds..etc) anyways,
i bring it in today, the lady (who she later told me was the "diamond department manager or something like that
) puts the ring in the cleaner they have there, and looks at it quickly with her eyes(note-when looking it was not close to her face at all). ANYWAYS. after its done cleaning, she gives it to me.
I said, "excuse me, arent you supposed to send it out and get it checked out to keep the validation on the warranty?" - *insert speech about who she is*), no we check it here, and clean it.
i told her "well i was told it had to be done, and anyways one of the pieces that hold the diamond(i wasnt sure of the name) is lose, it catches in things...
she looks at it and says "well i dont see anything wrong with it"
i told her there was, and it caught into many of my things (just little pieces, but then the ring has a red/black etc piece of material for like 2 weeks) and i also told her i wanted the ring rhodium plated because you could CLEARLY see how it was turning yellow (agian, ring is 7 months old).
she then tells me"all your ring needs is a good cleaning"
me- "excuse me? you JUST put the ring in your cleaner there, its CLEARLY yellowing. i want it rhodium plated"
she then gives the ring to an associate and tells her "have this ring sent out, to check the diamonds-NOT WHAT I ASKED but anyways- and to have it rhodium plated."
ugh.
litle miss know-it-all is too good to do work?
i was pissed, THEN saw that a delivery woman was standing further in the store, with FOOD.
so my yellowing ring is not worth your time because your trying to go to lunch.
ugh. i was unimpressed,
i am also kinda upset that this is my second white gold ring that i have to have plated within a year.
bleh.
(maybe its just the stupid store.)
i''m so agravated at that lady..
i listened to her talk to other people.. as if she knew what she was saying(oh because she worked there as manager for 15 years
)
ok...sorry so long, im just upset, and turned off.
but if anyone could answer my question,
i may go searching for that store manager man again (when he did my other ring he checked it with a loop to see what would need to be sent out if it had to.)
