Didn’t Belk file for Bankruptcy protection last year ?

Next time go to the jewelry store on 466 past rolling acres before 441 on the right going East. I believe it’s called Art & ? Jewelry. They like you to look around, gracious, professional & inviting. Good prices too

The staff at Belks is not well trained- especially in cosmetics and jewelry. The pendant purchased for $600 is a synthetic stone- genuine certified emeralds
are pricier and the earrings were probably certified stones. Many of the special sales at Belk require using their credit card…have to read the fine print

Jewelry… one of the biggest wate of money IMO of course.

I agree. I don't buy it. But, if you buy expensive jewelry, the only place to buy it is Costco. You can return it at anytime and get a full refund. There is no time limit, so you return it years after the purchase and still get your money back. If you buy jewelry at a jewelry store, they may let you exchange it within about 3 weeks, but no refunds. After the 3 weeks, you own it and they may buy it back for about 10 percent of what you paid. Costco sells some very high quality and expensive jewelry.

Millennia is incredibly expensive. Go to the Florida Mall in Orlando. It’s very nice

You may mean Gold-in-Art.

I know it doesnt help here but I vaguely recall there are rules/laws about fine print. Size, readability, etc. I found this. FTC rules:

A fine-print disclosure at the bottom of a print ad, a disclaimer buried in a body of text unrelated to the claim being qualified, a brief video superscript in a television ad, or a disclaimer that is easily missed on a website are not likely to be effective. Nor can advertisers use fine print to contradict other statements in an ad or to clear up misimpressions that the ad would leave otherwise.

The FTC has and will enforce these rules. In 2009, it fined a web company for placing a fine-print disclosure at the bottom of the screen. Consumers were able to complete the transaction without ever having noticed it

Yes. And they will take your old jewelry and make something else out of it. My wife’s no longer used gold watch and band being made into a jeweled bracelet by them

We went to Belk last week and I was surprised by the lack of selection in the men's section. Next stop was the shoe section. What a mess that was. I would say almost every box was opened and there was no organization of the sizes. Belk made Bealls look like a high end store.

LOL. The FTC fined a web company 13 years ago? There are television ads on all day long that flash long fine print disclosures for a second or so that no one can read. The FTC is not fining those companies. The FTC has a budget of about $400 million, but, in my opinion, they are doing a lousy job of protecting consumers from deceptive advertising. Buyer beware.

Never will understand the fixation of people needing expensive jewelry. What a waste of money. If my husband spent $500 on a piece of jewelry I’d have him take it back.

Any department store where customers use shopping carts is a discount store, as far as I'm concerned.
