Let me start off by saying that I love sterling silver jewelry , some of my jewelry is white gold but I love sterling silver Friday the 1st June 2018 my husband went out for our usual date night. I chose to go to the mall and look around,we are new here and have never been there before. We stopped at a kiosk there that had a display of jewelry company name Body Jewelry, my husband saw a chain that he liked so we engaged in conversation with one of the salesman there by the name of Antonio. I told Antonio that I had broken a chain I had broken a day or two before,and that I was looking for a replacement I also told him that I wore my chain everyday for many years. Antonio said that he would be able to assist me with finding a replacement. They didn't have the right size chain I was originally looking for, but my husband really liked a chain and started to discuss the cost , and Antonio stated that if we bought 2 chains he could reduce the cost exponentially and he made an offer that I felt comfortable with, at that time I started to look for something that I liked so we could get the deal. I found a beautiful chain that I liked,even though it wasn't what I was originally looking for. Antonio pulled the chain from the display and started to tell me a little bit about the piece and he started to place the necklace around my neck and I said to him , I will buy this if it's sterling silver if it's not and my neck turns green I going to have a fit, I said it in a joking manner and Antonio laughed and say oh naw I got you, don't worry. I loved the piece and my husband really liked his too. The charge was made on my card and I was told that they couldn't give me a receipt because they ran out of paper ...I should have said something then but we left we even wore the pieces out of the store. We did some other things and got home and started to get ready for bed so I took my necklace off and before I put it away I wanted to check for the 925 like I do with everything I buy, usually I would have checked in the store but neither me or my husband had our readers with us ... anyways I checked and I didn't see the 925 which indicates that is sterling silver I then asked my husband to take off his so could check and there was no 925 .Now I was very upset .. Antonio said that the original prices were a little over $200 he took of $60 bucks!!! The very next day I tried calling the number that was on a business card and got no answer ,I however did receive a text saying that, they were sorry for the "misunderstanding" and the necklaces were non-refundable!!! After that I called my bank and told them what happened,the banker said that I could dispute the charges and that's what I did, I did that while going back to the mall with the Fugazi jewelry in hand, I got back to the kiosk and Antonio was there and he asked me did I get his text? And I said yes. And went over what happened the day before , and he insisted that he told both my husband and I that the jewelry was plated silver and not sterling silver, I explained to him there is nothing in this world that would make me spend that type of money on something fake, even the studs in my ears are sterling silver including my toe rings!!! The manager Tre Fisher, interrupted and was very very rude..I told him that I was going to report both he and his company for fraud, selling things under false pretenses, he said he didn't care and called security , that's when I told them what I had done and I walked off leaving the jewelry on the counter,. Not only will I never ever as long as I live go back to that store but I won't be returning to that mall ...if they allow people like that conduct business in their location who knows what other underhanded dealings they got going on in there!!!
