If I could repeat Krystal F's review...I would. We walked in for an appraisal and didn't want to sell the ring, we wanted to keep it, but we were quoted $200...on a $2500 diamond ring. He said we could sell it to him for "just melting the gold down" or go to a pawn shop. Told him again we were not selling it, but obviously that had no effect. Maybe he thought we were junkies or we stole it?
We felt alienated from the minute we walked into the store and should have walked right back out. Sure I only drive a $12,000 vw and yeah I wasn't dressed like I was made of money...but is that a reason to talk to my husband and I like we're two idiots trying to sell a ring for quick cash?? We were ignored the minute a sweet lady, in her best clothes, walked in with a watch wanting to buy a battery.
The person who 'helped' us needs to stop judging people by appearance. I don't walk around wearing all my diamond jewelry because I don't want to be the target of a robbery. And I'm not going to wear it all just to be treated better by a judgemental jeweler.
