Any jeweler can choose to not to business with someone. Especially since their written policy literally states, "we only ask that clients cover incoming and outgoing shipping charges." Since OP hasn't done that (and has opened this ridiculous thread), I would say that VC is well within their rights to choose to no longer work with OP.
If you others don't want to read this saga, stop reading.
Just because you may not value accurate book-keeping, or follow up on details, doesn't mean other consumers don't value those things.
The vendor could have handled the more recent email many many ways that would have been respectful and yet definitively handle and close the matter. VC''s rep chose not to do that.
Just because a vendor does one part of business satisfactorily, or even goes beyond in one servicing transaction, doesn't negate that vendor's duty to tell the truth and to have proper accounting.
It may behoove VC to have reps who are conversant with different customer types and well versed in best practices in responding appropriately.
If VC chooses not to work on OP's VC pieces, they are unilaterally suspending the warranty that accompanied the VC piece(s). If VC is not going to provide the warranty to OP for her VC item(s), then VC is in breach of its own posted policy. I can't believe this is a position VC would take ... and if it is, shame on VC.

Yes, I said if he kept sending me invoices through PayPal asking me to pay after he did so already (described in the original post, for $30) I will have to file a police report and with BBB too to stop him from doing so since he doesn't do that I wouldn't need to. Maybe it's obvious what they would say.
Is voiding warranty legal?
I said so only because he didn't apologize instead of sending invoice of $30 to my PayPal which was too far away from a sincere apology. I said so because I wanted him stop doing that.

I still want to work with Victor for more jewels. Our transactions were always smooth. Just wasn't happy about how Nicholas handled this today.

With love (really, I am not judging here), I would grab a glass of wine (or two—heck, get a bottle) and let this go. Try not to let this take away from loving your beautiful ring. Reporting to BBB is cruel, unwarranted and could damage VC’s business. Reporting to the police is a waste of everyone‘s time. Do you love your ring? If you do, focus on that. It sounds like a beautiful ring. This thing needs to deescalate or it will reach a point of no return. Life is too short for this crud.
Clearly this is false. You were unhappy long before today. You were unhappy enough to threaten to involve the police and BBB, and you started this thread.

The lesson for vendors is never bend your policy it states there is a shipping charge, charge it and ship the item your way and per policy no exceptions.
Someone dont like the shipping charge they can decide not to send it in to you.
Having fair policies and sticking to them 100% saves a whole lot of problems of this type.
And thats why nowadays many CS line are answered by that automatic Voice and/or Robot operator, no flexibility, no human errors, no human feelings, no exceptions and its good for business.

@123ducklings I am new to the forum but I have recognized that some people are just unnecessarily rude every chance they get.... But I have found those posters to be the minority and most have been so welcoming and helpful. I encourage OP to tune out the nastiness and try to consider the good advice.
Ok...after all these pages...vendors should not lie to customers, full stop.

And this Warranty thing has ben taken out of context. I feel there’s a need to clarify one more time.
Warranty is for Manufacture defect, which is not the case here. What OP asking VC team to do and which they gave her free of charge are:
1. Repolishing into wider band (not the original shape)
2. Re-engraving which the original engraving was gone because a change of shape of the ring
3. Resizing, which is free for one time if its under half size.
so if OP is asking if her warranty would be voided in the future, Is there any manufacturing defect occurred at the viewing period? No. So I don’t understand what Warranty is being discussed here.
Accidental damage means wear and tear, which not promised under Warranty, they might fix it in minimal cost to no cost, but Accidental damage is Never in the warranty. I don’t understand all the fuzz about this Warranty in the future as this ting does Not have Manufacturing defect. Whatever they performed for OP this time is out of good deeds, no obligation under warranty except resizing under half size. Am I having language barrier here? That as my point of view whatever they did is not an obligation? And its not covered under warranty? If so, pardon my English.
Edit: I’m sorry @AllAboardTheBlingTrain this frustration regarding warranty topic isn’t directed to you! Not at all. Hope I didn’t offend you.
