Why Jewelry Sucks

WHAT?

Jewelry Sucks?

Well… It Can!

It Most Certainly Can!

That’s a Crazy thing to Read on a Jewelry Website, but it’s the Darn Truth!

Want to Know Why Jewelry can Suck?

I’m sure you do (It’ll all make sense in a minute).

So let’s Kick it Off with…

1) Every Ring Fits Different

Rings can be such a Pain to get right. They all Fit and Feel Different.

Some are Heavy, Wide, too Thick on the Sides. Others are Hollowed out, Sharp, Catch on Everything, or are Top Heavy.

It makes them all Fit Differently like Jeans and Shoes. You Can’t just Buy a Size 10 (or Whatever Size you Wear) and Expect it to Fit Perfectly.

Is it Comfort Fit?

Is it Tapered?

Is it a Class Ring?

They all Fit and Feel Different!

It Just Sucks!

2) You have to Try them on

Not only does the Size Change Depending on the Design and Style, but you won’t know if you’ll truly LOVE it, until you try it on.

It may look Wonderful in the Showcase, Catalog, or Website, but once you slide it on your Finger, it could change your Entire Outlook.

Does it match your Skin Tone?

Does it look Balanced on your Finger?

Does it look Good with your other Rings and Jewelry?

You won’t really know until you try it on.

3) The Resell Value Stinks

Ever try to Sell your Jewelry?

It BLOWS!

No one wants it. It’s Used!

And if they do Buy Gold, Silver, or other Metals, you’ll only get Scrap Metal Value for it.

Barely anything at all.

Diamonds may hold some Value, but even then, it’s generally only 20-30% of what you paid for it.

Jewelry is NOT an Investment!

Once you Buy it, it Depreciates!

4) You’ll Void the Warranty

Let’s Face it, a Diamond Guarantee sounds Magnificent (“We’ll Replace your Diamond for FREE!“), but NOT when they “VOID” your Jewelry or Won’t Cover the Cost of Replacing a Lost or Damaged Stone.

All it takes is one Missed Scheduled Appointment (Usually every 6 Months or so), and BAM

VOID

It could be because of one Snapped off Prong, “Sorry! Your Prongs Must Be Intact!

It could be because you got your Ring Squished in a Car Door

VOID VOID VOID!

No More Warranty.

SORRY!

The same goes with Service Plans… “Oh the Mounting isn’t Fully Covered?”, “The Shank is Not under Warranty?“, “It doesn’t Cover Rhodium Plating?“…

What the Heck are you Paying for?

5) You Can’t Return it!

Return Policies on Jewelry are all over the board (Read all about Jeweler’s Return Policies HERE!)

Some Stores are Pretty Picky about what they’ll take back, when they’ll take it, and what YOUR Requirements are:

  • You can’t Size the Ring
  • You can’t Engrave the item
  • It can’t be a Custom Design
  • It can’t be Special Ordered
  • It can’t be a Sale item

They could Refuse a Return if it’s Scratched, Worn, 1 Day Late… Or even if you don’t have your Receipt!

No Returns on an Expensive Diamond Ring is Horrible!

You can Always Trade it in for Double the Price!

Yeah, Right!

6) Sticker Shock

A Pair of One Carat Diamond Studs is HOW MUCH?

WOW!

Why is Jewelry so Expensive?

Why are Diamonds $8,000??? It’s just a Rock from the Earth!

Even a Little Thin Gold Chain is High…

It’s Expensive!

You don’t get much unless You Spend 2 Months Salary, and even then, it’s still Quaint.

Plus, you can’t Resell it, you’re Still Paying on it (with High Interest), and you will be for another 5 Years!

OUCH!

Who can Afford these Luxury Items anyway?

7) Jewelry Addiction

You might as well be on My Strange Addiction, because you’re Buying Jewelry every Month, every Week, every DayYou Can’t Help Yourself.

You’re Addicted, and there’s always a New Beautiful Piece you want…

It’s So Expensive. Impulse Shopping is KILLING you and your Bank Account

Why are so many People Addicted to Jewelry?

Because it’s Shiny and New?

But it’s so hard to Pass up that Cute Little Purple Pendant

RATS!

8) Jewelry Gets Worn and Scratched

Jewelry looks Wonderful when it’s Brand New. But after you wear it for a Couple of Months, it Dulls up, gets Scratched, Dinged, Dented… The Diamonds Fog up…

The Stones don’t Shine. It shows Wear and Tear

Now there’s a Chip on the Girdle…

NOT COOL!

It’s the Good and Bad Thing about Jewelry. Yes it does get Banged up Pretty Quickly, but it also can be Polished and Cleaned just as Easily too!

Granted, you may have to do that Once a Week or it won’t Look as Pretty as the Day you Bought it…

Sigh!

It just doesn’t Sparkle like it Used to!

9) Repairs and Maintenance

Your Prongs Wear Down, Bend up, Pull Back, Break off

The Shank gets Thin.

The Channel Walls get Worn Down, Uneven, and Jagged.

The Diamonds come Loose.

The Clasp Breaks!

And On and On and On.

It Costs a lot to Fix and Repair Jewelry (“$25 A PRONG?“).

And just like Tires on a Car, they just keep Wearing Down and Costing you More and More Money.

Can’t they make Jewelry Last Longer?

10) Hard to Buy Jewelry as a Gift

It’s True. You have a 40% Chance that the Jewelry Gift you Buy someone is a Jewelry Gift they’ll Love and actually Wear.

After all, Jewelry is an Individual Taste. People like what they like and that’s that.

Chances are they’ll want to Exchange it, Upgrade it, or Return it.

You just never know.

She Never Likes Any Jewelry I Buy Her!” is a Common Statement we hear.

Often Guys will give up and Not Buy her any Jewelry (That’s SAD!), or Bring them in and Ruin the Surprise!

See, Jewelry Can be Such a Pain!

It’s a Pain, but we still LOVE it.

We can’t live without it!

It’s Beautiful, Shiny, Sparkling, and Romantic.

“My Precious!”

No matter the Downfalls, we always want MORE!
