    Default 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.

    Earrings being returned twice with pinstems broken above the joint - "clearly" they weren't strong enough. Well, they certainly weren't up to being trodden on twice.
    (0.8mm pins, thoroughly work hardened)

    It can't be silver because it's tarnished.

    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 :-)
