I've followed Gorjana on social media for a while now and was super excited when a store popped up close to home. In person, I bought the Bespoke Parker Mini Layering Set ($108). The sales associate at the time, Maria, was SUPER helpful and made me feel comfortable with my purchase. I wasn't sure that I wanted to engrave my necklace at the time, but she assured me I could come back at a later date if I changed my mind.
A couple weeks later I stopped by to engrave my necklace with the letter "A" in Century Custom. A different sales rep (this was on Wednesday, May 25th at around 3pm) engraved my necklace and let me know to come back in about 10 mins. When I came back she handed me my necklace in a bag - which I didn't check because I expected more from this establishment and was in a rush to get to my next outing.
Later that evening when I came home, my engraving looked like it was scribbled on or they tried to engrave it more than once. The "A" did not look like what is advertised on social media, or the engraving examples in person. I couldn't believe a reputable company with jewelry over $100 would even consider giving me a ruined necklace back.
Upset, I called the next day and a sales associate let me know I could come in whenever to fix my necklace. I was finally able to come in yesterday (June 15th at around 11:30am) and was completely blown away at how rude the sales associate was. First, she let me know that sometimes the engraving just looks like that - as she rolled her eyes. She said I should probably choose a different font. When I asked her which one she recommended, she scoffed when she had to walk to the engraving examples to give me a suggestion (mindful that I was the only customer in the store, so not sure how I seemed to be interrupting anything she was doing).
Im sad because this isn't the font I wanted in the first place. Why would you offer engraving of something that seems to get messed up? But more importantly, I'm shocked that this store has hired young women who completely disrespect paying customers.
I used to really like this brand and wanted to buy jewelry for my family and friends - but will not be coming back due to lack of customer service and integrity. I'm very disappointed. Please hire friendly faces like Maria, it makes a world of difference. If any of the other girls would have helped me that first day, I wouldn't have made my purchase in the first place. read more
