Do violin strings damage rings?

Gwen, please help me! Ganoksin community, please help me! What am I
doing wrong?

This is the biggest problem I have with the all customer/client to
seller/maker relationship in north America. I already had a couple of
problems with similar modality but different results. To make the
long
story short, I dumped customers, and if anybody will come in as a
referral from my ex dumped customers I will dump them as well, just
as a precaution. Maybe is my Italian pride, or maybe my stubborn mind
but really i don’t see why i will have to accept a lie as truth. Am I
walking the wrong path? I don’t see how my professional integrity
will benefit from this behaviour. I don’t want to make a case of the
violin event itself, I am just talking about policies. I am not even
really commenting your decision Gwen, I am asking here. The other day
I was at Canadian Tyre, a workman next to me return a heat gun. It
was used and abused, seryously, dropped several times on the floor
and covered with cement. After a bit less then a year was “not
working”. The guy obtayned an exchange, not only, since the same gun
was now on sale, he also had a cash refound! Sience fiction. Now, I
sell a piece, a customer trash it under the train track. Come to me
and tell me that has gone fly the kite and the Kevlar ™ cord
pierced his diamond. And I have to replace it? And fix the ring for
free? And send me over more friends of him, with more pierced
diamonds from Kevlar ™ cord? God save me from begging! I am
loosing
my business, really small and starting, directly going with my hat on
the street. Do I have to sign a four pages contract with my customer
about the legittimacy of returns, is not just common sense

I really need to buy a television!

Bah

Roberto,
planning to return his old files because not working anymore.

Roberto,

it had been a long standing practice to decorate swords with
The fact that many of such swords are still around, with
settings intact, is a proof that it is possible to design and execute
gemstone setting which could hold gemstone securely under very
stressful conditions.

Do your customers also return their jeans when they wear a hole in
the knee? Or perhaps return the tires on their car when there is no
tread left? Hmmm… I sympathize

Hi Gwen,

The damage you describe can be caused by clapping hands while wearing
rings on both hands. Ask the customer if she wears dress rings and
does enthusiastic clapping at concert performances. If this is the
case you may, or may not, repair the ring at your cost. At least the
customer will know for the future.
