I went in to get a loan on my jewelry which was fine. When I returned to pay the loan and pick up my jewelry one of my rings was damaged. Apparently the testing liquid they use to determine whether an item is real gold, silver, etc. will eat the actual metal. I was left with what appeared to be a nick out of the band on my ring and quite a bit of discoloration all over the band which left me wondering if the actual gem in my ring was damaged or replaced (due to a small occlusion on the surface of the stone which is now no longer there????) Makes me wonder what exactly went on while my jewelry was there.
