Ripped off.

October 3rd, 2009

I’m so fucking pissed right now. I ordered a ring from what I believed to be a reputable eBay store back in mid-September. After a huge ordeal with the first package not coming in and a second item being shipped out, it turns out that what I ordered is NOT what I got. The listing claims the ring is Sterling Silver and “high quality”. However, being that I did six semesters of Jewelry and Metalwork in FIU, I know the difference between Sterling Silver and fucking pewter. Not only is the ring lacking the signature .925 stamp that all Sterling Silver rings are required to have, but it looks like it was run over by a car! Silver does NOT dent or ding very easily, but pewter does, which is why it’s so cheap. This is a cheap ring.

I’ve already contacted the seller and told him that the ring I received is nothing like the one in the listing. Thankfully, the seller has been very good with responding to my emails, and even told me he’d give me a full refund if I hadn’t received it by Monday. I’m going to ask for a refund anyway, and will send this back to him right away.

ARGH, DAMMIT. Audi didn’t understand why I was so happy when the package came, but I have been wanting to get a ring on every finger for YEARS. It’s always been one of those small, seemingly unimportant but very personal goals for myself. Why? Simply put, I love the way it looks. But now, I have to hunt for a new ankh ring for my thumb. This fucking sucks, man.

Ugh… I need a drink.
