Gold Rings for Women Near Me: How Sumsfashion Became My Savior Gold Rings for Women Near Me: How Sumsfashion Became My Savior Let me be completely honest. I once bought gold rings for women from a local store near me, and the experience was a huge letdown. The rings looked stunning in the display case. However, after just a week of wear, they began to tarnish and even left a green mark on my finger. The so-called "gold plating" was clearly not what it seemed. The poor quality wasn't the only issue. The customer service was awful. When I returned to complain, they blamed me, suggesting I must have exposed the rings to harsh chemicals. I was incredibly frustrated—I had spent good money only to receive a subpar product. Here’s a summary of the problems I encountered: Poor quality materials. Misleading product descriptions. Terrible customer service. Overpriced for the actual value. Verdict: Don't automatically trust local ...
