European Jewellery / European Boutique Unethical, condescending, and unwelcoming paying only the suit and tie type.

I recently bought a gold curb chain for a cross, I felt talked down to and manipulated. The chain broke that day!

An example of how a jewelry store should operate is Michael Hill. I bought a chain online and it was not keen on it. The store took it back no questions asked. Very helpful warm atmosphere even during Black Friday.

I have a credit at European Jewelers and their policy is unprofessional, unethical and slimy. Not a pleasant experience and they are I felt ripped off
They don't even provide any deals on Black Friday, just the tax removed.

Friday 26th 2021
Sherway Gardens location
I would like my money back, not an in store credit

Desired outcome: They even watermark it so you cannot reprint it. How trusting is that. Preferably I want my money back I don't want to give them my 1200.00$

European Jewellery / European Boutique RIPOFF+BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE

This is the complaint i sent them on their website and THEY DIDNT GIVE A DAM to even get back to me or anything WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE AND PRICES AND PRODUCTS ...not to mention ALL their products can be found at winnters for 90% LESS !
On October 8 my boyfriend went into the Eaton Centre location of European Jewellery and asked the sales person to help him with a birthday gift for me. He asked for hooped earrings. The sales person did not even take the time to explain the warranty care package to him but rather just told him the price of the earrings that included the warranty. My boyfriend, unaware of sales associates commission tricks, did not check the receipt since he thought the price he paid was just for the earrings. On October 11, I received my present and it was not something I was looking for. I asked for white gold hooped earrings and he had purchased me sterling silver earrings that were 89$+ a 12$ care package value. Unsatisfied with my gift I asked him if we could go back to exchange it. On October 13, around 8 45pm, we made our way to the same location where the purchase was made. We had both the original receipt and the gift receipt along with the warranty paper. As I entered the store, I came up to a sales person and explained my situation. I asked the lady to guide me toward the white gold hooped earrings and the pair she showed me was at a price mark of 499$. I then asked her to show me silver rings around the same price of the original earrings my boyfriend purchased. The store did not have a large selection of silver rings and the ones they did have were not what I was looking for. She then further guided me into Pandora charms but I told her that I do even own the bracelet. I asked the sales person if she could allow me to speak to the store manager and she asked me why? I was wondering why she found the need to ask me that question when she fully knew that I was trying to find a solution to my problem. Once I approached the store manager (Mr Minnu Rattansi), I explained the situation to him calmly and not even once I recalled myself being disrespectful in any kind of way. I told him that the original earrings were not what I wanted and the white gold earrings that they did have were out of budget for both my boyfriend and I. I have seen the same earrings for a significantly less amount and I tried to explain to him that my boyfriend and I, being both students, could not purchase their merchandise for their prices. He told me that he could only give me exchange or credit note. I began to explain to him that I do not normally shop here and that there is nothing else I see that I want or can afford. This is where he told me that he did not care if I could not afford good quality stuff and it was highly offensive. I told him that I am too a part time store manager for a chain company and this is not how we deal with customers. He told me that he did not care where I worked nor who I was. And that If I did not take the credit note or exchange I had to leave his store. I asked him if he could give me the number of the head office to see if there is anything else that can be done. I know many other chain stores including the store I work for, follow the same store policies of exchange but exceptions for situations like these can always be made. He told me very arrogantly that he was the right and only person to resolve this issue with and that head office will not pick up the phone call nor answer to email. Frustrated with his disrespect and bad customer service I walked out of the store as a very unhappy customer that will never shop at that store again and will make neither friends nor family do. I am hoping to resolve this matter and be provided with a refund of the original purchase.

P.S ONCE AGAIN LIKE I SAID NOBODY GOT BACK TO ME!

European Jewellery / European Boutique Bad Customer Service/ Rip Off

Marex Jewellers and Europeon Jewellers are the worst Jewellery stores ever. The only nice guy they had was a gentle who I saw once I went to collect my ring. Everyone else in the store was looking for victims to sell them high priced items which actually are not worth that much. I bought a ring and the very next day I wanted to return it. They refused to take it back, instead offered me store credit. I wanted to return it because I hated myself for getting trapped and scammed by these thieves because I found out that I was charged for this item more than 400% for the same item in different stored. And I feel like such an ### for trusting their word and not looking around. And their justification was "better quality diamonds". I just cannot believe how low people can go just to make a little more extra commission and profit. This is the worst type of customer service I have ever seen. Specially this manager "Donna". She acted like an angel when I was buying the ring and paying her but when I went back to return it, the whole attitude changed and the fake smile was gone. She said its store policy and then I asked for the head office number so I could deal with them directly. She refused to give me the head office number, I mean who does that now a days. Only and only cheats and frauds. Anyone who is confident of their quality of products and customer service, refunds don't matter to them. These thieves have good sales team so they trap people and push them it buy it right then. Once it is sold. it doesn't matter if a customer is happy or not because they don't refund you. I actually find hot dog vendor friendlier and nicer than these greedy people. She actually called security on me because I said I want a refund because I felt cheated. She offered me store credit but I refused to accept it because I didn't want to deal with these thieves again. I have accepted my loss already but please make this a habit to check refuse before spending decent amount of money anywhere. It is sad but this world is full of greedy people like Marex/Europeon Jewellers. I just hope my comments are of some sort of help to people who are thinking of buying anything from either of these two stores. And please spread the word too so that they can know it matters when you leave a happy customer, it damages your reputation. I have already made it my mission to spend at least one hour everyday for coming months to tell the truth about these frauds to everyone. At the end of the day it is not about the money, it is the feeling of being ripped off that I cannot even sleep now. I just pray to God they go bankrupt one day for not having any customers and then they can wear all their ### jewellery themselves. Please spread the word, it might help someone from being ripped off!

THE STUFF IN THE STORE IS COMPLETE JUNK, FAKE GOLD JUST POLISHED TO LOOK REAL. THEY HAVE BEEN UNDER INVESTIGATION BY THE BBB MANY TIMES FOR FAKE ITEMS. THEY USE SMALLER DIAMONDS ANDSAY THAT THEY ARE BIGGER. I BOUGHT A RING FROM THEM AND THE DIAMOND WAS 1 CARAT SMALLER THAN WHAT I PAID FOR.THEY WOULDNT REFUND ME ANY MONEY.

European Jewellery / European Boutique lost item

I took my mother's gold charm bracelet (without the charms) to European Jewellery to ask about getting it made into a bangle. When I was told the price, they suggested I leave it with them while I "thought about it". I left it there several months, then went in to retrieve it and they said they'd sent the bracelet to "off storage". The slip I had that recorded this fact was starting to fade but they said not to worry about it. A year later when I went back again to get it, they could not find it. They now say that they have not record of keeping it and that I must have it at home somewhere. The slip is now faded beyond recognition although I still have it. I sent a letter outlining all of this and never heard from them. It was my mother's pride and joy, left to me after her death, and it was value at about $1800 (and I have an evaluation certificate to support this amount). I don't know what else to do (even if they admitted losing it, I could then claim insurance money).

European Jewellery / European Boutique A damaged engagement ring

I work at a different jewellry company but decided to purchase from European Jewellers with my fiance. I picked out my ring. It was my dream ring. We brought it and lived happily. So we thought. We decided that it was time to get married. So we went wedding band shopping. We were looking for a ring to match the engagement ring. As we were going around to the different stores we are told that a stone on the band near the main diamond was loose. So we planned to go up to Toronto from Niagara to have a look at our ring since it was all covered on in the waranty plan. We get to the store and the guy behind the counter said there was nothing wrong with the ring. We showed him and he told us to come back in 45 minutes. We went and had some laughs around the mall and grabed a quick Timmies. When we went back 45 minutes later. Nobody greated us as we entered the store. We also notciced that none of the staff was wearing name tags. The staff was acting really wierd. We went to the counter and got the ring back. We looked at the claw that was suppose to be tightened. The stone was still a little loose. He told us that they tightened it as much as possible. We then asked can we get the ring inspected for the 6 month thing. The guy said it was inspected right away without thinking. So he signed the card and we went on. When we got to the car and were pulling away from the mall I noticed that something was wrong with my ring. I was not happy. At first I thought they swapped the diamond out. As my fiance went into another store in a different area I examined my ring. I noticed that a piece of the diamond was soddered. We went and picked up our friends and met them at Sherway Gardens. They work in jewellery as well. They said the ring was definately soddered. A chunk of the diamond was missing and it was a clean cut that was done with tools. We went to the European at Sherway and all they could do was send it away to have it inspected and then get back to us. After some frustrations we ended up driving back to Square One. We went into the store 1.5 hours after we left and said that they chipped our diamond. They kept saying no they did not. They had no manager on or anything. They finally took the ring and told us a gemolgist will look at it tomorrow afternoon and when the manager is in tomorrow he will deal with it and call you. The ring is not even 5 months old and they did this. It is my dream ring. I cant believe the bad customer service they have and the way they treated me. I felt sick to my stomach. Feels like I just wasted my money. When we picked our ring back up this morning they should have told us what happened. It is a human error. But to lie about it come on.

European Jewellers has a NO REFUND policy, which is absolutely ridiculous. My husband bought a bracelet for me and I wanted to exchange it for something else. After 20 minutes looking over their stock and trying on some options, I was dissatisfied with the selection. So I asked to return the item. It was just 7 DAYS AFTER my husband made the purchase and he paid FULL PRICE for the item. I even had the original receipt (not just a gift receipt).

One sales associate was so rude, constantly repeating to me "We don't have a refund policy." I got it the first time, and had to ask him to stop saying it over and over again. The issue was that I just couldn't believe it.

And this was a relatively cheap item. So they've lost any future business of mine that was potentially much larger. I can't imagine spending thousands there on a diamond ring or expensive watch - they clearly don't care about the customer.

I will never shop at European Jewellers again due to this very poor customer service experience. And I'm happy to warn others about shopping there too.

I contacted the owner, subsequently, by e to discuss the matter and he chose not to reply.
I purchased a bracelet for my wife and the wires unraveled. I brought it back and they repaired it at no cost but acknowledged that it was the artist's work which was less than ideal. Some time later, the same issue arose and I brought the product back. They would not address it and offered as an explanation that their records were unavailable and the manufacturer was not evident to them. The dragged the whole episode out to a point where I lost interest. I contacted the owner, subsequently, by e mail to discuss the matter and he chose not to reply.
I will not be purchasing from them, again. Customer service should complement product offerings but in their case, they fall flat with the former.

European Jewellery / European Boutique Awful Service and Shady Practices

I went to Yorkdale with my mom in search of a watch to buy her for around $800. We went to the first jewellery store we found - EJ - and browsed through the collection of watches. A Gucci in the display window caught my mother's eye and we asked a salesperson to have a closer look at it. As soon as we told the lady we liked it, she offered us a similar Gucci for $1000 more with a small diamond ornamentation. We politely declined and asked for the price of the white one with no diamonds. The list price was $795, and the employee told us she could get us a small discount. She seemed very eager to close the sale and was pushing for it as soon as she gave us the price. Didn't offer warranty information or anything. We told her we needed to think about it and left.

We found another store called Marex Jewellery (EJ's sister store) and found the same watch in white and brown. We asked a saleslady to have a closer look at the two different colors it came in for comparison. My mom liked the brown dial more and again we were immediately pressured to close a deal. I inquired about the warranty and was informed it was a standard 2 years for inner repair. The employee told us about the additional "buckle to buckle" warranty. We said we weren't interested, but she kept rambling and giving us this meaningful look like we were missing out on a great deal. She also gave us a 10% discount, but it didn't seem too good considering the advertisement of large sales. We also overheard a male employee talking to another customer nearby, discussing the no payment for 12 months deal. He actually told the man that if he was smart, he would make a down payment on the item. Of course, he was implying that the customer wasn't smart, since he was choosing no down payment.

My mom wasn't sure what to do, so I told her I'd quickly return to EJ and find out their discounted price. I asked the same saleslady from before if they carried the watch with the brown dial and at what discount. She told me to wait a moment and then spent 10 minutes on the phone. She said that they did have it. I again asked for the discounted price but she refused to tell me, ordering me to call my mom now and get her to come to the store. I said that I just came to find if they had the brown watch and at what price but that I wouldn't call my mom unless I thought we should buy it. She ignored me, ordered me again to bring my mom to the store, and said she'd be right back to get the watch. "Where was she even going?" I thought to myself. Frustrated, I walked out before she came back.

I really didn't appreciate being talked down to. I may have a young-ish face, but I am 18 years old and shouldn't be treated like a child instead of a normal customer (I even towered over the lady because I'm tall for a girl).

When I looked up EJ reviews, I saw many bad ratings and comments and also found out that Marex is the sister store. That's where the saleslady was going - to get the brown watch from Marex! The two stores were probably in the same mall so that customers wanting to compare prices would find the same ones and decide to buy from one of the stores since they couldn't find a better deal. I also believe the extra warranty is rip-off because intead of having a professional doing watch repairs, regular store employees were at the counter tweaking with watch parts.

Bottom line: VERY unprofessional behaviour toward customers and useless warranty!

I also forgot to add that the brown Gucci watch at Marex didn't look new like the white - it was stainless steel but didn't shine like it should - it reminded me of used kitchen cookware.

My fiancee bought me an engagement ring. Unfortunately, it wasnt ready in time for our trip where he planned on proposing. So he purchased a "temp" ring in the mean time until the real ring was ready. The store said that my finger was small so they have to make the ring from scratch and should be ready in 4 weeks... 6 weeks the latest. When we came back from our trip I was excited to get the real ring so my fiancee and I called the store to check up on the 4th week. They said it wasnt ready. We called the 5th week, again they said it has not yet arrived and that the manager will give us a call the following day to see status of the ring. We did not receive a call. The 6th week we called again, the person who picked up said the ring still hasnt arrived and that the manager will call us. Again, the manager never called us, instead the person on the phone said that it shows on the computer that the ring would arrive the following week, the 7th week. Getting impatient, worried and upset I told my fiancee that I had a bad feeling about this.
The day the ring was supposed to arrive, I was waiting for the call from the manager to tell me to pick it up. Again, no call. I decided to call the store myself to complain. My fiancee gets a call from the manager saying that he still has not recieved the ring and that he has no idea why the supplier overseas still hasnt sent it. He then continues to say that the supplier has not returned their calls or email regarding the manner. Furious, I told him he needs to gave me ring asap because I had an engagement party in 3 weeks and that should give them enough time to figure something out because I have been waiting for 7 weeks already. He apologized and said that he was going to get an in-house jeweller make the ring because he was still unable to contact the supplier. He said that he could give me the ring in 3 weeks just in time for my engagement party. I called on the 9th week to follow up, he said he was going to look into it. Two days before I was supposed to pick up the ring he calls me and tells me that the ring is STILL NOT READY! He said their in-house jeweller couldnt make the ring so now I have to wait a few more weeks until their supplier sends them the ring! OMG! The same supplier that was supposed to have the ring ready 5 weeks ago! I was so angry and so disappointed with the quality of their work, customer service, their lies, their excuses and they still wouldnt do anything to compensate me for the time I waited! I started crying because I was so angry that I called the head office. Head office never called me back after I left a msg twice regarding this complaint! Until now... its been the 10th week and I still dont have my engagement ring! I had to go through with my engagement party without the ring I was supposed to have! Embarrassed, I had to tell all my 150 guests the story about European Jewellers/Marex and how much they screwed me over! I dont believe anything they say, anything they promise and I dont even want the ring anymore because they have completely angered me. I just want my money back and get the ring somewhere else. Unfortunately, they said no REFUND!

After 10 weeks I still have to wait for my engagement ring which was supposed to be ready 6 weeks ago!
I am i furious with this company!
They are the WORST company/jeweller I have ever encountered. They are NOT TO BE TRUSTED! I will have to tell everyone I know about this and I think that everyone should spread the word that this company should not be worth buying from! There are so many complaints against them, they should just SHUT DOWN!

---- DO NOT TRUST EUROPEAN JEWELERS ---THEY CAN SELL ARTIFICIAL STONE TO YOU AND SAY IT IS A DIAMOND. They say anything to make sale.
I also have terrible experience with European jewelry at Yorkdale then eaton center. I bought a diamond solitaire. Sales lady told me that I can upgrade my diamond any time within 2 years time frame and at higher price. She explained me about higher price by giving me an example that if I had bought a ring for $3500 and if upgrading then it has to be for $4000. I agreed.
After a year I planned to upgrade my diamond I went to the store Talked to a manager ( Sheraz, very rude and ill mannered guy). He refused to upgrade for that price and informed me very first time that store's policy is that it has to be double the purchase price. I got socked because when I bought it this is not sales lady has told me. I asked him to call same sales lady, he replied "well she is not with us anymore and I can not confirm if she said it to you. Which was directed towards me as a LIAR.
Anyways I called eaton center EJ asked them the procedure to file a complaint against fraudulent sale. Manager said its better if i come to the store so that they can figure it out how to accommodate me upgrade. INFACT SHE TRAPPED ME.
I went there, she wasn't ready to listen my complaint and how upset I am she kept offering me upgrade with 100% more amount(double price). WELL THIS IS WHAT MADE ME MAD instead of realizing that MANAGER offered me 4 times upgrade with doubled the amount of purchase and I kept saying NO. I told here several time that I am here to complaint what can you do instead of making your sale. Suddenly she said since you are being rude to me I cant help you. Huh me being rude? THEY ARE BIG SCAMS. They do not disclose their upgrade policies they do not care about customer services. Like a ### she was forcing me to upgrade my diamond and pay double amount. Each time I opened my mouth to say that how upset I am already she cut me down . SHE DID NOT LET ME SPEAK, she doesnt even know normal norms of talking. It seems like her habit to interrupt. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE LIARS .

I've had terrible experience with Marex. Stay clear. The pearl necklace I bought fell apart the first time I used it. We brought it to another jewellery to have it fixed (matter of convenience) and was told the pearls were GLUED to the (silk) string.

The necklace fell apart first time wearing it an approximately one month after their three month warranty expired. They absolutely refused to fix or replace the product. They were rude, abnoxious and try to sell the extended warranty. They wanted a 40 dollars to fix their defective product and when I complained, the store manager explained they have no say whatsosever over the products they sell and that everything must go via head office. I wrote a complaint on their website and there was no response. I will be complaining about marex jewellery at yorkdale at the better business bureau.

European Jewellery / European Boutique Bait & Switch - You Decide

My fiancé and I started out with the happy task of buying an engagement ring one Saturday morning. We did our comparison shopping and decided European Jewellery had the ring that we wanted and the stone quality we wanted as stated on the gemologist’s certificate. We were also very proud that it was a Canadian Diamond.

We looked at the paperwork Saturday night and realized that the serial number on the gemologist report didn’t match the serial number on the Canadian certificate and the extended warranty that we bought was for a watch and not a diamond. We weren’t able to verify the serial number of the diamond CA 96159502D on the Canadian Diamond website (http://www.thecanadiandiamond.com/cdc.html) leaving the origin of the stone in question.

We went back to European Jewellery on Sunday and they read the serial number off the stone and we realized it was the wrong stone. The manager eventually found our diamond and said they were very sorry and they couldn’t believe the mistakes that were made. “Leave it with us for one day and we’ll verify the paperwork and get everything straightened out. I’ll call you tomorrow.”

Monday I ended up calling them and they said to get our stone (the one on the certificate) would cost us an additional $200 and by the way NO REFUNDS. I went in Monday night and they refused to budge. Yorkdale security came to mediate and eventually managed to get their head office phone number (416.785.8801) and a name. I shook the hand of the officer and I thanked him for his help.

When I called the person at head office, Tuesday morning, she refused to talk and hung up on me.

Wanting to get on with our lives and put this behind us, my fiancé went in to pick up the inferior Grade H diamond on Tuesday. She went over all of the paperwork with the manager and they still made a mistake (put the SKU of a watch) on the warranty; luckily she caught it or the warranty would be worthless.

The proof is in the paperwork that I scanned Saturday night. Yorkdale security witnessed the manager admitting that this was the paperwork they gave us on Saturday.

Thanks for reading.

OH dear.
I just bought an engagement ring from them and after looking at the stone using my works microscope, the laser inscribed tag DOES not match the certificate secifications. I have called them and they said for me to come in. I hope things go smoothly for me today.
Thank you for posting your experience with me. I am a little better now that i have read your experience.
I hope they don't try to fool me.
I will update what happens later today.

they wanted to charge you more money for the diamond in the beginning. dont forget the appraisals are over inflated too so it looks like you get a good price.

European Jewellery / European Boutique - Bad service

European Jewelery Horror Story!!! Long but should be worth reading... I am finally deciding to make my "experience" public here on the internet so other consumers can make a wise choice before spending thousands upon thousands for a store that hardly seems to really value each individual consumer. Certainly like anything in life some people will have great...
