Watch Your Jewelry When You Drop It Off!

A Greensboro, N.C. jewelry store owner was caught by local police doing something that your trusted jewelry craftsman should never be caught doing! When his customers came in and dropped off their jewelry to him, the man took it upon himself to swap out the gemstones for stones that were of lesser value! But, the story is sad and you should take a moment to read it.

Sadly, this is something that most of us wouldn’t ever put a thought to. We need our jewelry cleaned or resized by a professional, we find someone in the local area, and we drop it off to be serviced. We wouldn’t have any reason to think that we would pick up our jewelry and it would be worth far less than it was when it was dropped off!

Let this be a lesson to us jewelry lovers to make sure we find someone who has a top-notch reputation to handle our precious gems. Ask friends and family for referrals to people that they have known and worked with, or read around the Internet for reviews, before dropping off your jewelry to anyone to have it serviced!
