Lost my engagement ring and wedding band

Original post by slimstaci

So 2 weeks ago I lost a diamond in my wedding band, so I bring the ring to my jeweler and drop off my engagement ring with it. I wanted him to change the band on my engagement ring to match with the wedding band. So for the past 2 weeks I have felt naked without my rings. I go today to pick up the rings and I'm waiting for them for about 30 minutes. I tell DH that I think they lost the rings and he is like 'No I dont think so' Sure enough they tell me they cant find the rings but to come back cause they are going to look for them and he says if I cant find themhe is going to replace them with a better ring. We go to my MIL to eat and the jeweler calls me and says 'can you come to the store' (so now I have this scared feeling). We walk in and he tells us that they looked every where and he dont know where they are, he says that he dont want to lose us as customers and wants to make me happy, so he shows me another engagement ring and wedding band and tells me to try them on, they fit and its alot bigger than mine. He tells me that he is going to give me this set to keep until he finds mine and if he cant find mine I can have this. Now mind you the set he gave me to use is $9,000, my ring was not even $3,000. The jeweler who lost the rings has to give the owner $6,200 for the difference . Its such a beautiful set but its not MINE. The jeweler apologized about 1000 times and wanted to make sure I was happy and not upset and I told him that I was upset because they werent the rings that DH picked out for me and there was nothing that I could do, so he told me that they were going to keep looking for mine and if he found them he would call me. So my day pretty much ****** I hope everyone else had a better day than me.

I've never heard of anything like this in my life. How can a jeweler lose rings?
I would tell him to take is $9k ring and forget it....and then sue him. THAT'S REDICULOUS! WHo is this jeweler? Are they certified? I have never heard of anything so crazy.

So sorry, sweetie!! Even though they are offering to give you something else, I understand how you feel about them not being the original set.

Hope they find them!!

I'm so sorry you're going through this! I totally get what you're saying about the new set being bigger but NOT 'your' rings. I hope they find yours and if worst case they don't think about what Taryn said - that might make them feel more 'yours' if you have them blessed and do a new ring exchange.
