Tara at Helzberg Diamonds in Spotsylvania Mall

Tara at Helzberg Diamonds in Spotsylvania Mall delivered on their Jewelry Guarantee.  I will Forever be a loyal customer of because of their employees like Tara at Helzberg Diamonds in Spotsylvania Mall!   Here is my story.
Tara,at Helzberg Diamonds in Spotsylvania Mall’s, store manager has been my go-to Jeweler since my husband and I first looked at engagement rings.  We actually first met Tara when we lived in Woodbridge and she worked at the Helzberg Diamond Store at Potomac Mills Mall.

Last year as soon as our son graduated Woodbridge High School we bought a house in Fredericksburg, Virginia.  Luckily all of my administrative duties I handle for Claudia S. Nelson, I was able to continue to do from comfort of my new home in Stafford County.

A couple weeks ago I spent the entire day out shopping with my son.  We probably went to 6-8 different stores.  The final stop was hit Wal-Mart by our in Fredericksburg, Virginia.  I look down and noticed there was a big hole in the middle of my wedding ring.  MY CENTER STONE WAS GONE!  I panicked and couldn’t catch my breath.  I couldn’t barely talk when I told my son, the cashier and everyone around me, “My Diamond’s Gone!”

My first thought was we had just been all over Fredericksburg and all over Wal-mart.  Who knows where it could be?!  Then I remembered Tara at HelzbergDiamonds in Spotsylvania Mall telling me about the Diamond Guarantee. 

For in-store and online purchases, we provide a lifetime guarantee with free replacement foryour diamond, natural sapphire, ruby or emerald if it is lost from its original mounting during normal wear. Documented inspections are required.

Just then my son finds my center stone on behind me on the floor in the check-out line.  It really was a miracle. 

The next day, August 5, I took the ring and the detached center stone to Tara at Helzberg Diamondsin Spotsylvania MallShe said she would send it out for repair no charge, part of the Helzberg Diamonds Jewelry Guarantee.  My ring would be ready for pick-up on August 15.  I was really grateful.  I did tell her that I had an important event coming up September 1 and it really meant a lot to me to be able to wear my ring there.  She said it would be no problem.  

On August 14, Tara at Helzberg Diamonds in Spotsylvania Mall calls me and say based on the way the post broke their jeweler was unable to repair the center stone and she would need to send to corporate office.  Before I could say anything, Tara at Helzberg Diamonds in Spotsylvania Mall says, “I know you need your ring by September 1 and we are doing everything we can to make that happen for you. I will continue to keep you updated on the status.”

On Tuesday, August 18, I missed a call from Tara at Helzberg Diamonds in Spotsylvania Mall.  She left a voicemail but I was in a meeting and was unable to listen it to it.  I was going to be around people the whole day so I wouldn’t have been able to listen to the message until that evening.  But, right about the voicemail I got a text message from Tara at Helzberg Diamonds in Spotsylvania Mall.  She said, “I just spoke to my corporate office.  We discussed your ring and I told  them how important it was to you to have it repaired in time for your event on September 1.  They have authorized me to replace the ring with a brand new ring.  Since every diamond is unique, I need you to approve the new ring so we can solder your bands to the new ring. “She sent me several pictures via text.  I replied giving approval and I had a brand new ring by August 21!
