ZALES JEWELRY-- REFUSING TO HONOR MY 30 DAY REFUND FOR ANY REASON AND IT HAS BEEN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS!! OAHU, KANOEHE HAWAII

Reminds me of my old zales days, 20 some odd years ago. Use to have dozens of people buy jewelry, right before the holidays, wear it to all their Christmas and New Years parties and then bring right after the New Year. Had a couple of the same ladies, do it every year, for the 3 Christmases I worked there. They always charged it so they didn't have to come up with any money and made sure they returned it before their first billing cycle. Wasn't anything you could do about it other then no one wanted to sell to them and take the return on the next paycheck. You stated you bought a loose diamond. Did they have to mount it and size or did you take it as is?

FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE LADIES WHO PURCHASE A BIG FANCY EXPENSIVE DIAMOND RING WITH THE INTENTION TO JUST WEAR IT TO SHOW OFF AT CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS PARTIES THEN GO BACK TO ZALES AND RETURN IT BEFORE IT GETS BILLED ONTO MY CREDIT CARD AND SO FORTH... I PAID WITH A PERSONAL CHECK THAT HAS MORE THAN 40 GRAND IN IT AND IT HAS BEEN CLEARED FROM THE BANK ALREADY. I AM NOT TRYING TO BRAG OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT BUT I DEFINITELY DID NOT PURCHASE THE RING JUST TO SHOW OFF AT A PARTY.

I PURCHASED A 2 CARAT ANNIVERSARY BAND THAT WAS ORIGINALLY PRICED $5000 BUT WAS ON SALE FOR $3000 AND THEN I PURCHASED A 1.26 CARAT LOOSE DIAMOND H VS2 FOR $10,155 THERE AT THE STORE ON CHRISTMAS EVE AND HAD THE LOOSE DIAMOND MOUNTED INTO THE ANNIVERSARY BAND. IT DID NOT NEED RESIZING, YET I KNOW THEY DID A LOT TO HAVE IT MOUNTED AND DONE THAT DAY FOR ME.

I DO FEEL BAD ABOUT HAVING TO RETURN THE RING BEING THAT THE SALESPERSON WAS VERY NICE AND THE LOOSE DIAMOND DEALER GUY WENT OUT OF HIS WAY TO MAKE THE RING. THE BRUTALLY HONEST TRUTH ABOUT THIS WHOLE ORDEAL IS... I PAID WAY TOO MUCH MONEY FOR WHAT I GOT... I WENT THROUGH A WHOLE OTHER REPUTABLE DIAMOND SPECIALIST/ DEALER INSTEAD AND I ENDED UP PAYING $5,000 MORE THAN I PAID AT ZALES BUT I AM GETTING A 2.26 CARAT PRINCESS CUT DIAMOND F SI1 WITH A 1 CARAT ANNIVERSARY BAND SET WITH ALL PRINCESS CUT DIAMONDS IN THAT TOO! AND NO... IT IS NOT CLARITY ENHANCED OR ANYTHING.

I DO REALIZE THAT IT IS NOT A VS2, BUT THE WAY IT WAS MOUNTED, THE INCLUSION IS WHERE IT WASNT EVEN THAT NOTICABLE AT ALL! THE DIAMONDS IN THE ANNIVERSARY BAND COMPARED TO THE ONES THAT WERE IN THE ANNIVERSARY BAND AT ZALES IS MUCH BETTER QUALITY NO DOUBT! PLUS IT IS PRINCESS CUT DIAMONDS! IF I ENDED UP GETTING AN EXACT ROUND DIAMOND 1.26 CARAT H VS2 AT THAT SAME DIAMOND STORE... I WOULD HAVE SAVED AT LEAST $2500. THAT IS NO LIE.
