Complaint Review:
Intercontinental Jewelers
Intercontinental Jewelers is supposed to offer "high quality loose diamonds, diamond jewelery, and diamond engagement rings at wholesale price to the public", by by "wholesale price" they mean "wholesale crap". The customer service is terrible, the staff is just about senile, but they will tell you anything for a sale - and then swap out the diamonds for ones of lesser quality!!!
Do not buy engagement rings here either, they pull the same crap just worse because they won't refund you. Luckily my credit card company saved me from being completely burned.

Apparently the somewhat senile owner of this business has changed the website in an attempt to fool more buyers. Be warned, the google trust value of the site has fallen tremendously - don't buy from this site or store!!

This is for the second comment. I found this statement provocative and enlightening yet only for grammatical effect. Nothing in the statement provides any information about the company. It merely states that you hope they go out of business soon. If you are going to make a comment about a company that may hinder business then make sure it's legitimate. It really sounds like the first commenter pretending to be a second dissatisfied customer.
As for the original poster, you really didn't state your issue. All I gathered was that you think the owners had dementia (a medical opinion I'm sure). You provided 7 paragraphs of advertisement for them and a meager paragraph about your complaint. This a ripoff site and really needs to be about scammers and thieves not bad business experiences. Their BBB record shows no problems.

I too am a victim of intercontinental jewelry and their terrible owners. They advertise they've been in business 35 years so I (wrongly) assumed that was not only the truth, but they must be reputable if they've been around that long. Nope. Intercontinental jewelry is a small, terrible company that should (and probably will) be going out of business any day now - and good riddance so that they don't scam more people!
