opinion.... s/o ring dipping...

Bride_to_be_2011 · March 2011

So, Milanj does it on site, takes 1.5 hours or so, for 85 bucks... if I take it to the store I got it, bailey banks and biddle, it takes TEN DAYS, for 65.... ugh. So should I just fork over 85 and come in thursday before the wedding, or should I do it now, and just deal with not having my ring for 10 days.... which I have never not had my ring.

I think I already know what I will do but.... I am bored and wanna hear opinions.

I mean... it's $20. I'd go to the place I got my ring from and wait 1.5 hours. It's not that much more to have it back that day.

That's a crazy alot to dip your rings!

Yea I know, I got my wedding ring at Milanj and they were super nice, so it is only 20 more to get it back mad quick.... I just didn't know if I was being crazy for thinking like this. It will be all new and pretty and fresh for the wedding too. If I did it now, and got it back and wore it, I would have to get it steam cleaned again once before the wedding... lol

Barskys dipped mine for free because I was shopping for earrings. They are nice.

LOL maybe I will do that

Did you actually buy earrings though?

But did they have to send it out? I rather not give it away for long... that would make me sad.

They did it while I waited, about 45 minutes. I told them that Robbins had closed down, and so I was looking for a new jeweler (which was true, we used to buy everything from Robbins). I was honestly looking for earrings, but didn't find the ones I wanted. They dipped my ring anyway. After we left, one of the owners called and told us they could custom make the earrings I wanted, so we came back and actually did end up ordering them. But they had already given me my ring back prior to that, so they definitely dipped it with no guarentee of a sale.

Veddy interesting..... I just might make a trip down there.

I don't know where it is.... in philly??

Yep - Jewelers row. But honestly it can't hurt to call some local jewelers near you and say the same thing.. That you are looking for a new jeweler, and were wondering if they would dip your ring in exchange for you shopping there in the future.

I guess I had a good reason though, since Robbins was closed and I actually did need a new jeweler.

Good thing they did dip my ring though - they gained a loyal customer, and got a nice sale out of it after all. I actually offered Sydney Rosen the same deal, and they declined... Their loss!

Well, we just spend a TON of money in Milanj, so they should really just dip my ring for free, I should talk to the manager lady, see if she will cut me some slack being we just spent so much money there.
