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.

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
