Well it's FIVE WEEKS since I sent off my resizing to Regency, and I've had a bit of a mixed bag returned today (I've been off work, so it could have arrived on Friday - only 4 1/2 weeks...).
I have spoken to them in the meantime, and they advised me that the laser machine had a backlog, so I'm not too bothered about that, but still it's not what I originally expected.
However, that's not really what's p'd me off.
I sent a marcasite/mop bracelet to have a link taken out - and I think that's what needed the laser and caused the delay. And I have to say they've done a lovely job on it and I can now wear my gorgeous bargain. It's UH179 and started at 8 inches, so if anyone is wondering, it can be done and they did it well. (I think they charged £15)
However, the rings that went along with it are more of a mixed bag.
One I asked for as an I, it's come back as a K. It does fit another finger - but I don't think it suits it and if I'd wanted a K I'd have asked. I always give a size, then list any alternatives I'd be happy with if it won't go as small as requested. This one, I didn't give any options as it only suits my ring finger.
One I asked for an L. That's the biggest size I can "officially" wear - it's one of those annoying huge size P jobbies, and I reckon it's come back the same size as it went - they've just squished it a bit! It definitely doesn't fit me - and that's despite my fingers seeming to be on a never ending cycle of expansion that's allowed me to wear size Ns on my index fingers without resizing recently.
And I sent a fabulous sparkly apatite ring as well. They've resized it OK - but my god the stone is now looking seriously cloudy and frankly a bit rubbish. I will get it home and give it a good clean, but I'm concerned that they may have completely ruined it
The others are fine, in fairness, but I'm definitely not a happy bunny - especially since I've been waiting forever! I really hope my apatite just needs a bit of spit'n'polish with the old toothbrush (I wouldn't normally take a brush to such a soft stone, but I can't make it any worse).
However, I would much rather they'd said they couldn't do the other rings and applied to Rocks for a refund instead, rather than have them in the wrong size.
Anyway, sorry to be a bit whingy, but I think it's only fair to let others know my experience. I guess I will have to live with the ring that fits the wrong finger, but the one that doesn't fit at all will need something done with it - and if my expensive apatite doesn't clean up, I will hit the flaming roof I promise.
