Not Husband’s Wedding Ring, Says Widow
A widow in Derbyshire is devastated that after the death of her husband, a jewellery store in Birmingham cheated her. She gave them his wedding ring and signet rings as well as some other old jewellery to have lockets made for their two daughters and thought nothing of it when they were given the lockets. These lockets were meant to be Christmas presents for the girls so they could each have a piece of something their father owned.
Her husband passed away two years ago and she thought it would be a great idea to do this for her daughters and she trusted the jewellers so she asked them to melt down the gold and make it into lockets. All was well till months later when one of the girls spotted an identical locket in another shop and realised that the jewellery store had cheated them and just replaced the gold with standard and not hand-made lockets like they were asked to do.
The city council is investigating and one hopes that they can trace the original gold so the widow and her girls can have the satisfaction of wearing a part of their father’s ring. To date, the store hasn’t commented.
