Got my engagement ring here. Was suppose to be 0% financing, kept getting charged interest on monthly bill. Finally got that fixed. Told me that I'd get a notice stating when my "Kay cash" was going to expire, i didn't. Went to buy the wedding bands and use the Kay cash to purchase it, i couldn't because they expired without any notice. So we ended up not buying the wedding bands.
Came here recently to get my ring resized, about two weeks ago. Was informed that they could not resize my ring because it is a "Neil lane" ring and they don't resize those, they special order them. We bought the engagement ring back in June (about 7 months ago), and no one told us about this then. They said "you can come back whenever you want to get your ring resized." Well apparently that's not the case. So now, it's going to take 8+ weeks to get my new ring, I don't get to resize/keep my original engagement ring, which is upsetting. But now i have to wait 8+ weeks for a new one.
In the meantime, they said I could keep my original ring until the new one comes in. So, the idiotic, puffy faced, incompetent, blonde haired lady working there (I don't know her name), put a new ring guard on it. There was nothing wrong with the old ring guard. But she put a new one on anyway, And she must've done it incorrectly because within two days, the ring guard started shifting and moving all over the place, ring was falling off my finger and constantly rotating. I tried tightening the guard but it kept loosening again, and was starting to come off the ring altogether.
Today I brought it back to the store and the same lady helped me. I told her she put the ring guard on two weeks ago but it's been giving me problems ever since, and asked if I could have a new one. She said "we don't have anymore ring guards, just tighten this one." I explained that I have been and it keeps shifting and is now scratching up my ring; there was nothing wrong with my old ring guard but this one is giving me so many problems. So she took it to "fix it." Comes back, and says "yeah we don't have any more ring guards, there's nothing i can do." At this time, she's already removed the old guard. So I'm like "okay so now i can't even wear my ring?" And she's like "sorry" and shrugged. I'm starting to get really mad at all the errors this store has given me. I asked when they'd be getting more guards in and she said "not any time soon, we'd have to special order them." Like what? Shouldn't a jewelry store have these in stock regularly? So I'm mad now and saying "so you removed my ring guard, knowing you didn't have any more, so now I can't even wear my ring, you don't know when you'll be getting more and now I'm at risk of possibly losing my ring because I can't wear it??" And she's like "sorry. We can put an order in to get it resized though." And I'm like "no you can't because the last time I was here TWO WEEKS AGO, you told me you couldn't resize this ring. And we already put an order in for a new one!"
So I left with saying that I'd go to another jewelry store and have them put one on for me, the correct way. And she's like "you can go to any Kay jewelers and they'll do it for you." And I'm like "no. No Kay Jewelers will ever get my business ever again."
I walked right across the street to Zales, and the lady there was beyond helpful and polite. I unfortunately had to pay $11.00 for her to put a ring guard on for me, but at least now I won't risk losing my ring. She was friendly and knowledgeable.
I think when we go to buy our wedding bands in the near future we will be going to zales instead. I will be canceling my Kay jeweler credit card, and once my ring comes in, in however many weeks, i will never return to that store again. Every employee there is ignorant and rude. Never going back, taking my business elsewhere. I wish I would've gotten my ring at a different store to begin with. read more
