Last week after nearly obsessing about choosing a wedding ring (hey, you wear it every day of your life; it's important to choose what you want!) I found the perfect wedding ring! The problem was that it was in a jacket "sandwich" style where there were two rings exactly the same that go on either side of the engagement ring. I love the setting of my engagement ring and don't want to cover up both sides, and the jacket style ring was so expensive! I called in to the store's main number and they told me they didn't have anything exactly like my dream ring that was the single ring instead of the double ring. They told me I could not buy the individual ring and could only get it as a set.
Usually I am soft spoken and wouldn't question what I was told...HOWEVER, this time I had confidence in myself to be able to go after what I want: my dream ring that would be perfect if sold as a single ring instead of the jacket. I thanked the person on the phone and went in person to one of the locations and talked to a consultant, who talked to a manager, who talked to the jeweler. I was really sweet and very friendly and I did my homework thoroughly before I came in.
I was told that they've never been asked to do it before, but that they would be willing to separate the jacket style and sell me the individual ring that I wanted!
Go after your dream and have confidence in yourself!
