the shopkeepers should take more care as they know you are a short term visitor and it is very difficult to return in a short period of time to have things fixed that shouldn't need fixing in the first place.
The "get what you pay for" thing could also relate to a lot of things in bali as it's all cheap and there are a lot of complaints on this forum about bad food,service and rooms that are cheap also so why a flame someone with a legitimate complaint about a jeweller.
as for me,i wouldn't trust a jeweller anywhere in the world so wouldn't fall into this trap.
i think your'e being very harsh on vicki.
she's been ripped off and most of you seem to be looking at it with your heads in the sand.
