Chalk this one up to the “It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad” category. We recently had a customer visit the shop to get some repairs done on a piece of jewelry she had purchased at a certain big box store that shall remain nameless. This is a fairly regular occurrence at our shop for two main reasons: We are known locally for having one of the largest and most well-equipped jewelry repair facility in Sacramento, CA.

The owner likely knew that a large army was marching towards her town and that they were practically defenseless. Hoping to preserve her jewelry in the slim hope that she could somehow escape or survive the onslaught to later reclaim it, she buried... read more »
