I purchased a $1650 necklace and sold $650 worth jewelry bringing the necklace down to $1,000. The salesman who sold me the necklace did not write the original price of the necklace on the receipt said minus the jewelry I sold, just the purchase price. I went back a few days later and requested that he refund the cost of my returned necklace I bought from him and wanted my sold necklace back (due to reconsideration for sentimental reasons) and told him I was willing to forfeit the gold I sold which was worth $325. He asked me to come back in two days.



When I came back to exchange it, he offered me $250 less than what was on the receipt ($1000- $250 =$750). He did not recall me selling him jewelry despite the three day turn around. There was no record of my sale. I couldn't prove it. (If you choose to sell jewelry to offset a purchase, ensure that this is indicated on the receipt wherever you go to purchase jewelry.) He then offered me $800 and said let's call it a day. I tried to negotiate. I finally accepted it because I wanted the necklace and he knew this and took advantage of me. I consider this theft. By the time I walked away, I was down $500.



This was a horrible experience and would never recommend this jeweler ever. I felt like a fool who was taken for what he could get without considering his reputation or the impact it made on this customer. This is pure greed at whatever cost. A jeweler is only as good as his reputation. STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE!
