I have a couple of old pinky rings that I wanted to have re-sized larger, so I took them into the local jeweler. These are 14K gold rings, but nothing special about them.
So, the girl takes them in the back to the jeweler to get the price. She comes out and proceeds to tell me that gold is $4k and has gotten expensive and wants to charge me $400 for one of the rings and $250 for the other.
I bet I didn’t pay $400 for BOTH of those rings to start with. I don’t know the process, maybe they have to add a small amount of gold to make them bigger, I don’t know. Anyhoo, I told her that was ridiculous and that I would be embarrassed to give me a price like that for two cheap rings.
Crazy times.
