The funniest things customers say - ( a light hearted look at the service industry )

Thought I would start this thread off by recounting a story of a customer wanting a refund for his scratched wedding ring after 6 months wear ( the customer thought my gold must be softer as his mothers wedding ring looks in better condition ). Normally I would offer a quick polish as a service but this took me by surprise. Within the service industry - It is sometimes very hard to keep things in perspective.

I am sure their must be other stories out there and would be interested to read.

Do you make these from a kit?

Where do you buy your chainmaille rings from?

I explain that I make all my chainmaille rings from wire and hand anodise the titanium and niobium rings myself.

Also...Where do you buy in your jewellery from? Even though I have a big sign stating all jewellery handmade in Devon :-)
