Jewelry
adjustment
beware!
Metalsmith
ruined
my
brand
new
18k
Italian
Gold
bracelet
and
I
was
offered
no
resolution.
Terrible
management,
customer
service,
and
accountability.
In
Italy,
I
purchased
a
brand
new
18k
yellow-gold
paperclip-style
bracelet.
I
took
it
to
Oshawa
Jewellers
to
get
a
link
removed.
Upon
picking
up
my
bracelet
I
noticed
the
solder
job
was
pretty
rough,
however,
I
paid
my
bill
and
left.
I
was
feeling
pretty
disappointed
so
I
decided
to
inspect
the
bracelet
further.
I
noticed
the
second
link
was
bent
and
crushed
in.
That
link
that
was
removed
was
burnt
and
quite
frankly
destroyed.
This
is
when
I
decided
to
return
to
the
store.
The
customer
service
rep
(Stacy)
was
understanding
and
helped
me
with
assessing
the
damage.
She
agreed
that
the
repair
was
done
badly
stating
“this
doesn’t
seem
like
our
metalsmith’s
work”.
She
checked
with
the
store
manager
and
metalsmith
and
came
back
to
say
that
this
type
of
bracelet
is
difficult
to
repair.
I
asked
if
the
damage
that
has
now
been
done
to
my
new
bracelet
can
be
repaired
at
all.
I
said
to
take
as
long
as
you
need
as
long
as
it
gets
done
right.
Sunday,
October
16.
I
believe
the
rep
helping
me
was
'Gina'
(or
something
like
it).
The
initial
link
and
solder
job
looked
smoother
however
the
gold
didn’t
not
match.
Link
2
looked
a
little
better.
But
this
time,
now
link
3
was
bent
in
two
places.
Basically,
my
bracelet
had
been
botched
at
this
point.
I
expressed
my
frustration
to
Gina
to
which
she
was
rude
and
defensive.
She
reiterated
that
this
style
of
bracelet
is
not
easy
to
fix
and
that
“she
wasn’t
there
when
he
was
doing
the
repairs”
-
as
if
we
were
blaming
her.
She
showed
a
complete
lack
of
professionalism,
and
customer
service
and
she
was
VERY
hostile
with
her
words
and
body
language.
She
came
at
me
with
“Well,
what
do
you
want
then?”.
I
was
taken
aback.
What
I
want
and
what
I
expected
was
to
come
in
today,
for
the
2nd
time,
to
pick
up
a
bracelet
that
would
be
in
better
repair
than
the
first
attempt,
and
somehow
it’s
gotten
worse.
I
said
I
want
it
fixed,
if
that’s
even
possible
at
this
point.
This
is
when
she
proceeded
to
say
‘yep’
several
times
while
sticking
her
nose
up
at
me.
I
asked
if
she
was
the
manager
to
which
she
replied
“I
am
today”.
I
returned
the
next
day
to
go
speak
with
the
store
manager.
At
this
point,
I
cannot
believe
that
we
have
gotten
to
this
point
with
this
job.
Stacy
was
as
helpful
as
she
could
be,
while
the
other
rep
stood
leaning
up
against
the
wall
behind
us
displaying
attitude.
Stacy
began
to
enlighten
me
on
how
they
are
going
through
this
same
situation
with
another
customer
with
a
paperclip
bracelet.
I
then
said,
“you
know,
you
might
want
to
preface
these
repairs
with
a
conversation
around
how
bracelets
like
this
are
hard
to
repair
should
you
they
go
forward
with
the
order,
they
may
face
some
damage
to
links”.
An
average
customer
does
not
know
the
delicacy
of
jewelry.
They
expect
to
be
informed
and
I
would
expect
the
jeweler
to
be
transparent
about
the
outcome
of
a
job.
Or
don't
take
these
jobs
on.
Stacy
said
she
would
speak
with
management
to
see
if
they
could
replace
the
3
links
or
send
it
to
their
master
jeweler
in
Toronto
for
repair.
That
afternoon
they
called
and
said
they
think
it's
best
they
don’t
aim
to
repair
it
any
further
in
case
more
damage
is
done.
They
offered
no
compensation
and
simply
returned
my
bracelet
back
to
me.
I
had
to
ask
that
at
the
very
least
they
refund
my
$40.
This
whole
scenario
was
poorly
handled.
I’ve
been
treated
as
a
difficult
customer
even
when
handling
the
situation
politely
and
calmly
and
I’ve
been
left
with
a
brand
new
bracelet
that
has
been
damaged
by
them.
Please
take
this
as
buyer
beware.
I
would
avoid
going
to
this
store
to
get
repairs
done
on
your
jewelry.
Clearly,
there’s
a
complete
lack
of
attention
for
customer
service,
problem-solving,
and
accountability.
