Simple story, just lost a diamond earring that was a treasured gift to me. Stopped in to see if I could get a replacement or one made. Turns out, the earring that meant so much to me were made out of scrap gold and the diamonds they would just throw away. Apparently, the only pricey diamonds come from their store and they don't except diamonds under 3/4 caret. I'm no jeweler but pretty sure I believe every diamond is worth something. And gold is no aluminum, people steel copper to sell it. But my diamonds and gold are trash. Been to other jewelers and oh how we laughed! Stuck up is the only thing I can say or maybe we weren't stuck up enough. Would never go in there again! What should of been a pleasant expierience, turned in to a hope crushing waste of time!
