Cleves & Lonnemann

I stopped here to see about getting my fiancés engagement ring mounted back onto a new ring as the ring and diamond broke off of each other (she lost the ring but found the diamond and its casing) I left this store balling my eyes out as they took a couple of seconds to look at it and told me it was fake and CZ, and likely gold plated. So this made me feel I got ripped off when I bought it. I was very upfront with the employees at this store about being new to the jewelry world as I have never been engaged before. Afterward I stopped by Mommoth Jewlers in Newport where they KEPT the ring to fully evaluate it and give me a formal estimate. To my surprise they told me the ring is 100% real gold and real moissanite. Which is what I bought. I wanted to steer from a diamond because mining diamonds isn't always ethically done. This is much better and relieving news compared to what I got at C&L. The employees at MJ talked with me for several minutes and were very empathetic to my situation. I would avoid the bland, and non compassionate interaction you will receive at C&L and head to Mommoth Jewlers instead.

Nice Rolex and the owner was very knowledgeable and helpful but looked at a used 11.7 gram 10kt figuro bracelet that they wanted $1475 but I looked it up on Google and calculated it in penny weight like they go off of and even with the increase of gold in today's price it was only worth $975. I know they have overhead but $500. Then the girl that was showing me the bracelet kinda got snotty cause I was doing my research in the store to see if we were in the ballpark. I would of bought it but not at $500 over the worth of it. Also it wasn't even polished and scratched but I will let you fine people be the judge on whether or not you wanna spend your hard earned $$$$ there.
