The ring was later found, but the jeweler wouldn’t give it back right away.

A woman who had her wedding ring repaired by a Zales store in Denver got a scare when the ring went missing for a few days, KDVR reports. The TV station says that when Megan Storhaug went to pick up her ring, she was mistakenly given someone else’s, and then a salesman told her that the third-party contractor the store uses to perform the repairs had lost the ring. The jeweler later called Storhaug on a Monday to tell her that it had been found, but that she couldn’t pick it up until Wednesday. When a reporter from the station called Zales to find out why, the store refused to say.

Apparently this isn’t an isolated mishap for the company, as the video report below mentions that a Google search turns up numerous Zales customers nationwide who have had their rings lost.

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success

After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone. Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently. The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
