BOZ Jewelry faces backlash after client alleges fake engagement ring scam

• BOZ Jewelry is facing intense backlash after a client alleged that the company sold him an undervalued and fake jewel piece
• The client claimed that BOZ Jewelry refused to provide a larger size, and when he tried to resell the item, he discovered its significantly lower value
• The controversy has sparked a flurry of reactions from netizens, while some believe the client's Aboki (gold dealer) might be scamming him, others have come forward with similar testimonies of being sold underpriced jewellery by the luxury brand

Boz Jewelry, a well-known jewellery brand, is facing a wave of criticism after a dissatisfied customer took to social media to share his unsettling experience with the company.

The client, @Klienbro, took to social media to recount how he was allegedly sold a fake engagement ring by Boz Jewelry in February 2024.

According to @Klienbro, he purchased the ring but didn't have a chance to inspect it thoroughly as he was out of the country. Upon his return, he was too stressed and preoccupied with wedding planning to wear the ring. 

However, on the wedding day, he discovered that the ring didn't fit, and when he attempted to return it, the company allegedly refused.

"After the wedding, I reached out to @bozjewelry to ask if they could resize the ring, believing they had sold me the wrong size. My wife's ring size is 7, while mine is 8. Strangely, my ring couldn't even fit my wife's finger, while hers fit her perfectly. This confirmed my suspicion that they gave me the wrong size," @Klienbro explained.

Boz Jewelry reportedly told the client that their return policy had elapsed and suggested he take the ring to a goldsmith for resizing. However, when the client insisted that the ring was not his size, and asked him to bring it to their store for verification.

Upon verification, the company confirmed that the ring was indeed size eight but still refused to take any further action. Left with no choice, he decided to resell the ring to an Aboki (a local gold dealer) to recover some money for a replacement.

To his shock, the Aboki told him that the ring was worth no more than N100,000. Doubting the Aboki's assessment, the disgruntled client took the ring to a second Aboki, who confirmed that it was fake and worthless.

"Seeing my confusion and disappointment, he offered me ₦120,000 at best," @Klienbro recounted.

This incident has sparked widespread outrage and criticism on social media, with many calling out Boz Jewelry for their perceived dishonest business practices. Others have come forward, testifying to similar experiences with the company.

However, some have raised doubts about the Abokis' intentions, suggesting that they may have been trying to dupe the client. 

This controversy follows another recent complaint about Boz Jewelry’s service, further deepening public scepticism about the company’s credibility.

Netizens react to BOZ Jewelry’s fake ring allegations 

Here are some reactions below;

@vivywhitney stated: “Big name zero value.”

@paulfajeh stated: “I bought neck and hand gold mixed with broken diamond from them, I think both was 3m plus 3years ago but my aboki told me nah glass dem put not diamond and the gold only weigh 3grams each. Since then I've sticked to pure gold only Fk diamond.”

@tiffanyspeaks stated: “I am glad that Nigerians are waking up and calling out the greedy People. The change starts with us!”

@doveeedah wrote: “When we are done with Bozjewelry we'd talk about hair vendors

I saw one yesterday selling 10" bone straight for 300k.”

@idiongoudoh wrote: “I keep advising people-what you don't know is bigger than you.

Before you buy a car, go with a mechanic. Before you buy land or property, go with a Town Planner. Before you buy gold, go with an Aboki,

Before you buy something wey cost, carry person wey sabi. Small money fit save your big money from lost for water. Yak.”

@TerwaseMurphy wrote: “I saw a necklace listed on their webpage and decided to check its price in the open market. I took it to three different jewellers in Wuse Market, and their responses surprised me. The price difference was shocking. I’m glad I checked before making a purchase.”

@meskana212 wrote: “The gold is not worthless. It’s just that 14karat ain’t Nigerian market. Nigeria do 18k and 22k. If you take it to a place like Istanbul, Turkey where they retail 14k, they will buy it properly. Not higher than boz shaa but better than the aboki.” 

@no_good_takes wrote: “780k to 120k is crazy for value.”

@Ciappshoes1 wrote: “How come aboki offered 120k for something that was worthless ?” 

@Jasontyrone_ wrote: “Lol no aboki will offer you 100k for a fake ring , the boz people are way overpriced , but from this i think the aboki people are just trying to rip you off.”
