1/5 Amanda W. 5 years ago on Google
I
brought
my
wedding
band
and
engagement
ring
to
the
Smithville
Jeweler
to
have
it
rhodium
plated,
cleaned
and
inspected
for
any
loose
diamonds
and
prongs.
My
ring
had
been
repaired
in
the
past
by
a
different
jeweler
who
has
since
retired
and
that
is
what
lead
me
to
Smithville
Jeweler.
I
left
my
rings
with
one
of
the
workers
and
was
told
the
jeweler
would
be
in
contact
with
me
and
that
it
should
be
done
in
10
days.
2
days
later
a
women
from
the
store
called
me
back
to
ask
what
I
wanted
done
with
the
rings.
I
found
this
interesting
as
I
had
the
receipt
and
the
receipt
had
what
I
wanted
done
written
down
on
it.
I
explained
to
her
what
I
wanted
and
she
relayed
that
to
a
man
in
the
background
(I’m
assuming
the
jeweler).
The
jeweler
asked
some
questions
which
I
couldn’t
hear,
the
women
then
repeated
them
to
me
and
she
relayed
my
answers
back
to
the
jeweler.
This
went
on
3
or
4
times
before
I
just
said
can
I
speak
to
that
person
you
keep
talking
too
and
cut
out
this
middleman
nonsense.
She
put
him
on
the
phone
and
he
explained
to
me
that
it
costs
$65
per
ring
to
rhodium
plate
it
and
that
it
would
need
to
be
cleaned
before
he
did
that.
If
he
cleans
it
diamonds
could
pop
out
and
if
that
happened
(which
he
led
me
to
believe
would
happen)
it
would
cost
$75
to
replace
each
diamond.
He
said
the
prongs
were
bent
and
overall
the
ring
looked
like
there
had
been
a
lot
of
wear
and
tear
on
it.
I
went
back
and
forth
with
him,
asking
him
a
number
of
questions
and
he
finally
said,
“I
would
suggest
just
putting
your
diamond
into
a
new
setting,
I
don’t
see
the
point
in
throwing
good
money
on
bad
and
truthfully
I
don’t
even
want
to
put
this
into
my
machine”.
He
said
the
setting
wasn’t
that
good
and
that
the
prior
jeweler
who
had
fixed
it
didn’t
do
a
good
job
on
it.
I
picked
my
rings
up
that
day
and
found
a
different
jeweler.
This
new
jeweler
I
went
to,
said
the
setting
and
repair
job
was
fine,
he
cleaned
my
rings,
inspected
my
rings,
fixed
some
loose
prongs,
soldered
both
my
rings
together
and
rhodium
plated
both
of
them
for
$60.00
and
it
was
done
in
3
hours.
I
have
no
clue
why
I
got
the
run
around
from
the
Smithville
Jeweler.
If
he
didn’t
want
to
work
on
my
ring,
I
think
he
should
have
just
said
so
instead
of
making
up
excuse
after
excuse.
