When a TikTok video creator went to Tiffany & Co. to get her engagement ring cleaned, she wasn\u2019t ready for the insult she was about to be subjected to. As soon as Quinton Westchester handed the ring to the staff and revealed that her ring belonged to Kay Jewelers, she was informed that the staff wouldn\u2019t even touch any brand other than Tiffany & Co., per The Mary Sue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was like, \u2018Uh, what\u2019s the number incorporated with it?\u2019 I gave my wife\u2019s number. I was like, \u2018But she didn\u2019t get my ring from Tiffany\u2019s. He was like, \u2018Oh, we\u2019re not even allowed to touch rings that are not Tiffany pieces,’\u201d Westchester said, per the outlet.<\/p>\n

The employee holding the ring hurriedly returned it to Westchester and said that they couldn\u2019t help the customer. \u201cThe way he looked at my ring and touched my ring, like it was just gross \u2019cause it wasn\u2019t Tiffany\u2019s. I feel so humbled \u2019cause what?\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Tifanny & Co. might have to face difficulties cleaning a different ring\"https:\/\/img.particlenews.com\/image.php?url=4bUMKC_1EPNPgfJ00\"Providing cleaning services for a ring of a different brand could be problematic for them. BY: PEXELS<\/p>\n

Given that jewellery is a premium category of products, it can cost brands heavily if they mess with it. Moreover, if it\u2019s a Tiffany & Co. product, employees wouldn\u2019t have to worry if something happens to it during cleaning. They can replace the gem or the metal or fix it entirely.<\/p>\n

However, given that the ring belonged to a different brand, Tiffany & Co. would have to suffer much more in times of difficulty, as the staff wouldn\u2019t have the required equipment or materials to repair it.<\/p>\n

Tiffany & Co. doesn\u2019t clarify its official policy\"https:\/\/img.particlenews.com\/image.php?url=267Tkq_1EPNPgfJ00\"Tiffany & Co. doesn\u2019t clarify the guidelines for cleaning services at its stores. BY: UNSPLASH<\/p>\n

Per the official policy of the company, the brand hasn\u2019t clarified its cleaning services to the customers. \u201cTiffany boutiques offer on-site cleanings, subject to availability. Gold and platinum jewelry cleanings are complimentary, while sterling silver jewelry cleanings are available for a fee,\u201d the official website of the company states.<\/p>\n

There aren\u2019t any specific guidelines about handling a product of a different brand. Meanwhile, some might consider the employees\u2019 behavior \u201cclassist,\u201d given the difference in pricing of products of the two companies. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Westchester felt humbled when he employee told her about the company police.
