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.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
