The latest rip off by Arden's Jewelers was a quote to repair the very end link of my ankle bracelet that had the gold wear thin and broke through. I was quoted $57 for the repair which was to solder the link of broken gold. I went elsewhere for another quote.

I received a quote from Brownwood Jewelers to repair my ankle bracelet. This jeweler will replace the broken gold link with 14K gold and will also replace the connecting ring on the other end of my ankle bracelet with 14K gold as it is also wearing thin. The parts and the soldering will cost a total of $47.

Why is Arden's Jewelers so expensive? I asked the person who gave me the quote at Arden's that question and was told, "That is what he charges". OK then. Arden's will never get my business!
I have lost several ankle bracelets. They catch on things and are easily lost. I don't wear good ones anymore.
