    Ordered a $400 necklace that is beautiful, but the connector clasp broke the second time putting it on without any pulling at it. Would this have happened while the necklace was on, I'd be out a $400 necklace. I emailed letting them know of the quality issue. I was told that they could process a refund if I'd like to return. I replied I still like the necklace and would like to order another. The agent stated that he could not guarantee the next one would not break. I stated that I'd like to keep this necklace at a discounted price due to the quality concern. Communication has been very slow. Starting with one email per day. Now it's been 3 business days with no reply. I feel that I was robbed of $400 and the company has blatantly said in an email that they cannot stand behind the quality of their pieces.

    Hi there. We deeply sympathize with the customer's experience and we did our best to resolve the issue as quickly as possible within our standard policies. Customer was told of our standard policy and was not happy with that. Even stating the reasons why. We then offered another option (outside of standard policy) by refunding partial credit and the customer seemed okay with that option, despite it void any warranty on the item. Customer sent in multiple requests which cause her ticket to get pushed down in the queue and we provided that information. There was no fowl play or ill intent; screenshots of conversation to show timeline and process of conversation. Please reach out with any additional information or questions.

    This complain is regarding order #******. I have reached out to Local Eclectic twice using their contact me function on their website with no reply or proposed resolution. The first attempt at contact was July 26, 2022, the second was August 14, 2022. The below message was provided to the company. They offer no phone number on their website to try to call. The necklace is part of their fine jewelry collection. We're absolutely willing to provide them back the broken item and are very surprised we have received no response. I purchased the Solid Gold Diamond Arc Necklace for my wife for Valentine's *** this year. In July, the necklace snapped in the middle of the chain quite randomly. It luckily caught onto her hair but when we went to get it out, it snapped again in another spot, which we found to be incredibly odd. I'm wondering if you guys provide any warranties on the jewelry and if it's possible to get a replacement. I have to say, I haven't experienced something like this before with items this young. We kept the piece and we have pictures as well if needed. Looking forward to hearing back.

    *************** *************************** reached out to customer service on 7/25 and received a response on 7/26 with steps on how to process a return. ******** must've not received reply because they reached out again on 8/14. ******** service agent responded with previous message (indicating we did response to original inquiry and next steps) on 8/15. ******** service agent re-provided return steps along with requesting picture proof of the damage.

    Resolution: Since the original item is currently out of stock, we recommend customer process a return for store credit to use on another item or purchase the necklace again in the future (expected restock date by early October). ********'s return has already been initiated with a return code and steps email to contact email. 

    Should the customer still have questions they can reach out via email or contact by phone number at ************. Please reach out with any other questions or concerns. 

     

    Warm Regards,
