\"Good<\/div>\n

All jewelers are good jewelers.<\/h2>\n

\nRight?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThere is no such thing as a bad jeweler.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right?<\/h2>\n

\nThat’s almost like saying that all humans are perfect<\/strong> and we all know that’s furthest from the truth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nFact is, jewelers do make mistakes<\/strong> just like everyone.<\/p>\n

\nJewelers can accidentally chip a diamond<\/strong>, or bust an Emerald. They can lose rings and double bill you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Things happen.<\/h2>\n

\nGet over it!<\/strong> <\/p>\n

\nEvery type of business messes up sometime or another.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nBut how do you know if you’re dealing with a good or bad jeweler?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nI believe the answer goes deeper than what the jeweler actually DID at the time<\/strong>. Because like I said, every jeweler has chipped a stone or lost a ring<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nThese problems in itself don’t make a jeweler good nor bad. Instead, it’s how they deal with the situation<\/strong> that determines good from bad.<\/p>\n

I’m your best friend…<\/h2>\n

\nEvery jeweler is always your “best friend<\/strong>” when you walk into the jewelry store. This is true for any type of store.<\/p>\n

\nThe salespeople are all smiling and eager to assist you<\/strong>. Everyone’s all laughing and having a really good time. Why wouldn’t they?<\/strong> They’re selling jewelry and taking your money, and making commissions.<\/p>\n

\nAs long as the cash register rings<\/strong>, they have a smiley face<\/strong>. It’s fun<\/strong>. It’s educational<\/strong>. They may even make purchasing a diamond engagement ring memorable<\/strong>. But that doesn’t make them a good jeweler<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nNO! It’s the problems and how they solve those that make them a good jeweler. A jeweler that stands out from the crowd<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

How they deal with problems is key.<\/h2>\n

\nWhen you go back to them with a concern or a problem, you’ll see their true colors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ever try to return something?<\/h2>\n

\nEver get a rude salesperson with a crappy attitude because of that?<\/p>\n

YES!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nIt’s almost like a 2-sided coin<\/strong>. They’re happy to take your money, but curse you for doing exchanges or returns or even fixing things. If you go back with a broken prong or when your white gold turns yellow, or a stone falls out, this is when you’ll really see who you’re dealing with<\/strong>. Are they really looking out for you? Jewelers that do what it takes to keep their customers happy are the good ones<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I’d be happy to help you.<\/h2>\n

\nYou’d think businesses would know that it’s hard to get customers in the door, let alone keep them<\/strong>. If the jeweler helps you, if they return your jewelry with no problems or hassles, if they fix broken items or any issues with the same enjoyable attitude<\/strong>, then they are A+ in my book<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nYou never will truly know if a business is a great business until you see how they handle their problems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hassle much?<\/h2>\n

\nIf they give you a hassle, if they give you attitude, if they make excuses<\/strong>, if they shrug you off, if they treat you like crap, if they’re rude, if they turn their backs on you…<\/p>\n

Walk away!<\/h2>\n

\nYou deserve better.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nWalk away, never look back, and never go back.<\/strong> Word of mouth is an effective tool<\/strong>, but actions equal results<\/strong>. Never give them any more of your business… Period!<\/strong> That’s the only way bad jewelers will get the message<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nFind a jeweler that will handle sales and returns<\/strong> and problems and concerns without batting an eyelash. <\/p>\n

\nA jeweler that can consistently shine under pressure, handle issues, and still keep you happy no matter what, will keep you coming back for more.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nBecause that’s the mark of a good jeweler.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nCheers! :)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
