Ridiculous things you have heard from Jewellery Sales Staff........

[Dandi]

Wow! I’ve faced this kind of attitude before though, where people believe young women can’t have real diamonds. Did you correct her misconception?

I did, and she just sort of scoffed at me. Once I had a quote for her I called her to let her know the cost, and she was gobsmacked at how much it would cost her, telling me the price was 'absolutely ridiculous'. Cest la vie, sweetcheeks!

Ok maybe this only applies to me

You will really love this halo
(Trying to get me to try on a Diana/ Kate saphire ring )


I am not a halo kind of girl

Side stones yes
halo nope

I'm not a halo lover either. They're often quite beautiful, they just aren't for me.

For a while I was into this cut corner square shaped brilliant cut diamond well... here is an example in case I confused you:

0.57 Carat square radiant diamond

This square radiant cut 0.57 carat I color vs1 clarity has a diamond grading report from GIA

I wanted to try my luck in a local store before I decided to order one online as it's always a pain for me to handle shipping and potential returns of high dollar orders.

I went to the store (reputable, good reviews online), showed them pictures of the diamond on my phone, and they said right away "oh we have something like this". I waited excitedly for them to bring out the diamonds, and only found out they were just crushed ice radiant. After I pointed out those were not the same cut, the sales gal looked at me with a "you don't know what you talking about" look, and told me in an exaggerating tone they looked exactly like my pictures. At the same time a couple other sales girls gathered around her and agreed with her. I was thinking at that moment what a pity they didn't try a career in Hollywood they could win Oscars!

It was not the first time I visited that store and saw them do nasty things to other customers. They have a couple senior sales ladies that I like- honest and knowledgeable. They hired new people a few years ago, and I started to see a change of vibe. Worst part is that these innocent customers thank these guys for selling them overly priced low quality jewelries. Those nasty sales tricks work, I guess.

very bad salesmanship on every level
while it is technically true the customer is not always right its never good to be rude -its like they were trying to shame customers

Thread 'Weird Things Jewelers Have Told You'

What are some of the weird, wild or just blatantly untrue things sales associates at jewelry stores, or jewelers themselves have told you? Share them here!

I'll go first.

Today I had a half hour to kill in between two appointments. So I donned my mask and popped inside a random jewelry store.

I could tell right away the quality wasn't great. The diamonds all looked dead. Really dead.

I didn't want to be rude and leave, so I browsed. The saleswoman (who I think was one of the owners) was friendly, but oh man she spewed so much misinformation! Here's one nugget:

Saleswoman: Would...
