    Well, the product knowledge of one manager at Wal-Mart was nil. 

    OK, I've held off long enough. I've got to ask: 

    1 - Why, on a forum populated by INDEPENDENT jewelers, craftspeople,
    and jewelry store owners, would you post about going to Wal-Mart for
    jewelry for a gift? Especially in light of all the silversmithing
    talk that takes place here! 

    2 - Why, as a GG, would you go to Wal-Mart for jewelry? 

    3 - Why would you think that an employee, who was probably stocking
    underwear the hour before, knows anything about jewelry at all? 

    Of course your experience was terrible. Did you really expect
    anything else?
