I received an AU ring as a Christmas gift almost 3 years ago. Granted it's not part of the high-end jewelry line, as an AU grad it means much to me. I have had crystals fall out multiples times which requires repair. Each repair time, it's explained to me how Ware Jewelers no longer uses that supplier because of poor quality. That's all well and good, but that doesn't help my situation. I live 2 hours away, and getting it repaired is inconvenient both time and money wise. On my last repair visit (5+ times), I was advised to ... read more

Business response:

Hi Lisa, thank you for letting us know about your ring. We absolutely value each and every customer no matter if the purchase is $20 or $20,000 so we apologize that we made you feel otherwise. We tell our clients when they purchase items from that specific vendor that they are not designed to be worn daily since the crystals are glued in and we also say we will glue them back in when they come out (because they will eventually come out). If someone wants to wear them more often than game days, etc., we suggest the earring... read more

I took my $30 watch to Ware Jewelers to replace a $5 battery and a $0.10 watchband pin. I waited while they replaced those items and it took no more than 5 minutes. Then they charged me $30! In my opinion this is a ridiculous price for those items and is just a rip-off of a customer. I will NEVER step foot into that store again and you shouldn't either. I can only imagine how badly I would've been robbed had I purchased something expensive. I could've purchased those items for $6 and done it myself. It's a shame that a... read more

Business response:

Hello Mr. Cicci, I am the manager of the Auburn Ware's location. I reached out to you regarding the above watch battery but haven't received a response from you and thought this is your preferred method of communication. I apologize for any miscommunication. We always disclose our service fees before we continue with a repair. I would have welcomed the opportunity to assist you yesterday and refund your money when you were unhappy with the price. Our sales associate offered to get me to assist you and you refused. It i... read more

My $30.00 Timex watch needed a watchband pin and a replacement battery. I made the HUGE mistake of taking it to Ware Jewelers on College St. in Auburn to have it fixed. It only took them 5 minutes to replace the pin and battery (while I waited) yet I was charged $30.00 for those parts. In addition, contrary to their store 'policy', I was never told the cost of the repair prior to them just fixing it and charging me. When I questioned the extremely high price of the repair, the sales girl explained, that it was $15.00 for... read more

I will not be doing business with Ware again. Poor customer service and a ridiculously high nonrefundable deposit. Wouldn't care too much about the deposit, but they didn't do anything, except mail watch to company. Shame too, because I have good experiences with Robin on custom pieces,but this exerience has soured me on Ware, I'll take my business elsewhere. 

Business response:

Good afternoon, Elsie. We are very sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your recent experience with us, and would like to take a moment to explain our watch policy publicly. Our watch repair does indeed require a non-refundable deposit, which goes to cover a number of factors. This includes labor, as our technicians and watchmaker assess in exacting detail every facet of your watch before working on it or sending it out, packing, shipping, handling, and insurance both ways. We even apply these funds towards the cost ... read more

Based on the Ivanka Trump event I will never shop there again. Trashy company (Trump) selling cheap made in China products.

Bought my engagement ring two weeks ago, wore it one day and a diamond fell out. Sent it back to be resized and to have the diamond fixed, when I went to pick it up the ring came out still missing the diamond. They sent it back to the jeweler to have him reset to diamond, not even 30 mins later 3 more diamonds fell out. I will never buy another piece of jewelry from this store! I haven't even been able to wear my ring my entire engagement! I'm beyond angry and they have ruined this special moment for me!! 

Business response:

I am so sorry to hear about the problem with your ring!! I see that it was originally a 6 3/4 and that we sized it down to 5 3/4. That normally in not an issue however it seems to be with this particular mounting. Again my apologies!! We stand behind what we sell and want to make this righ!!. We can refund your purchase, pick another ring, or special order this ring to be made in the correct size. Please call at your conveniece to discuss your options! We never want anyone to be unhappy with a purchase that they have ma... read more
