      Comments about UncommonGoods Custom Beach Necklaces:

      Was looking for something unique and unusual for my wife's birthday and Valentines Day. I found this pendant and started browsing through the list of beaches. To my surprise, I found the beach my wife and I had vacationed at every year for 12 or so years. I ordered, and gave it to her for a late birthday and valentines gift. She loves it and has not taken it off since i gave it to her. It's a little reminder of all the good times we had at that beach. I hit a home run with this one!!

                The color of the sand in the pendant wasn't remotely close to the actual sand color of the beach it was supposedly from. It looked like the dirt in my yard, 65 miles from the beach. I was offered the chance to replace the pendant with the "correct" colored sand, but I had to find a good picture online, then send it along. Why couldn't the company do that instead of me? And there was no guarantee the replacement pendant would be better. My daughter, who gave me the necklace, was embarrassed that the sand looked like dirty sand and not the pretty, light sand that's actually at the beach we went to for 20 yrs. I only wear it when I see her. Maybe in future we'll laugh about it, but not now.

                Merchant response:We’re sorry that the color of the sand isn’t what you anticipated. The sand is set inside a resin which causes its appearance to darken. We contacted the artist about your order and extended an offer to have the sand replaced and redone to preserve its lightness. She cares a great deal about authenticity and wants to ensure that people have a wonderful and unique keepsake for life.
