Jeweller who sold us my e-ring recognized me...

on the street!

I was just walking along and he said "Hi, I don't remember your name but I did your e-ring didn't I? You went to NY?"

I was impressed. I said so. I said how I couldn't get anyone to clean it in NY they all said "well you didn't buy it here". He was pretty appalled, said he always cleaned jewellery from anyone, it takes 1 min and it creates tons of goodwill.

So I went back to the shop with him and now my e-ring sparkles once again.

I must remember to recommend him to my friend who just got engaged. I'd nearly forgotten him, but I remember now that he did our e-rings personally, created a new setting for it and found us the diamond.

Warm glow for the rest of the day now.?

    I got me e-ring in Australia...I've had it cleaned here no problems. Strange that any respectable jewller would refuse your money or business....

    Well a) this guy doesn't charge you - it just creates goodwill.

    b) yes I was prepared to pay for it to be done in NY, I asked if the did it without indicating anything else and they asked if I'd bought it from them and if not, no they wouldn't.

    c) yes I think they are nuts. They kept telling me to go to Zales (ie downmarket) and they would do it, but when we visited California and were hanging around a mall there I asked them too and they had the same response.?

    Most places don't charge you for the first cleaning if you bought the ring there.

     I asked if the did it without indicating anything else

    Maybe the US jewllers you went to misunderstood you and thought you wanted it for free?  Seems strange to me.

    That's odd--I get my ring cleaned frequently at any jewelry store I happen to be near and I have never once been charged.  As a matter of fact, you seem to have run into every poor service person in America.  I wonder why people always seem to treat you so badly?  Hmmm....

    I also find it odd that no one would clean your ring.  I used to work for a major chain (not the one you mentioned) when I lived in NY and we always cleaned rings for free.  Every jeweler did it to keep people in the store for potential sales.
