Owner suggested that if you buy a car on sale, as I bought the ring on sale, the warranty doesn't transfer. I was confused, does he associate his store with a used car lot? Went to three local jewelers to see if they would buy the ring. Two refused and said it was poor quality. Third bought it for a loss from what I originally paid.

Last summer, my now-fiance and I were looking around to purchase an engagement ring for myself. We…read morewent to Brilliant Earth, in Birmingham, which had a lot of nice rings; however, when I emailed them follow-up questions, they didn't respond for over a week (apparently my email ended up in the sales lady's spam inbox ...). During that time, I found Metals in Time online, and stopped by the showroom. I worked with Emma to choose a ring for myself and also a middle stone. Sergio, the owner, was very helpful as well, and had me try on multiple rings. The one I liked was shaped differently then I preferred, so he customized the ring for me. For a 1-kt. (lab diamond) ring plus the matching wedding band, he offered us a very reasonable price. We liked Metals in Time so much that we had my fiance's custom wedding ring designed there too. He thought he wanted white gold, until he tried on a platinum ring and preferred the heaviness of that one more. He wanted a ring with lab diamonds and lab emeralds, and he brought Sergio a picture of a similar one online he liked. Sergio was able to design it to his specifications, and gave me a pretty good price on it, as well; I know platinum rings can sometimes be expensive. The best part is that Metals in Time is always reachable via text - we go in every six months to get our rings cleaned, as part of their warranty (the smaller stones are under warranty, as long as you stop by every six months), and I always text beforehand to ensure that the store will be open. Highly recommend this store if you are looking to purchase engagement or wedding jewelry. They also have a nice selection of watches and other jewelry, I've noticed.

A few years ago I was told by a jeweler that the setting of my engagement ring had worn down due to…read morewear and tear. I wanted a second opinion and took it to Miner's Den. It did need repair; however, at a fraction of the cost at first place. The workmanship at Miner's Den was excellent. Also, if you need a watch battery, Miner's Den donates the charge to charity. I took a rosary in for a small repair and was told there wasn't a charge. They have gorgeous jewelry both new and estate pieces. Plus, every time I go in I'm greeted by a friendly employee right away and asked what I need.

My husband and i moved to MI a few months ago and i needed my rings resized, we asked in a local FB…read moregroup where people recommended and there was raving reviews for Miners Den. I have to say I'm shocked. First off, the woman helping us was extremely kind but basically kept telling me in a very beat around the bush type way that it wasn't worth resizing them and that they are fine as is. They quoted us around 220$ PER RING if we wanted them resized adding up to over 400$. I've never heard of such steep pricing for a resizing. I didn't agree with her recommendation considering i can barely get my rings on and off. We went elsewhere and ended up getting them resized for 80$ a piece, and to a more comfortable fit for my liking. Maybe miners den just didn't feel like doing it, I'm not sure but we won't be back based off this experience.

My husband and I are in our mid 80's and we walk the mall every day and stop to chat with the staff. There is one Security Person (Mark) I don't know his last name, but he went way above and beyond his official capacity. I had fallen a week ago and was walking on a cane. He saw me sitting on the bench waiting for my husband to get the car and pick me up. He took a minute from his job to help me to the car and be sure I was buckled in. We were parked right outside the center court entrance. That act of kindness meant so much to me and I will never to be able to thank him enough. Tappers is extremely fortunate to have security personnel like Mark.

I had this experience about 8 years ago and the staff were off-putting and rude. At the time, I did not have access to Yelp.

It's really unfortunate that Clawson Jewelers doesn't seem to want to own their mistakes. There are a lot of 1 star reviews here and rather than try to improve there seems to be a lot of attempts to hide customer dissatisfaction by asking yelp to remove reviews. Take responsibility for your mistakes. Apologize instead of making excuses the the excuse you made to my pretty reasonable complaint. And for the record, I checked my phone records and I was called at 2pm the day after I was supposed to receive a call early in the morning. That tells me that I, as a customer, was not a priority.
