And today I learned that some people worry about this stuff. It never in a million years would have dawned on myle to clean jewelry before wearing NOR to worry if someone else has worn a necklace before me. Weird.

DCUM skews extremely neurotic.

Feel free to return.

I do wonder how the people concerned about body oils function in life. Do they touch doorknobs?

Or try on bras - that obviously other women have tried on? Absurd. OP, definitely return. It’s not underwear or a swimsuit, for crying out loud.

Exactly.

Return to a different location.

I think OP was also beyond the return by date and just doesn’t want to include that fact in the opening

Not a chance I'd be trying to scam the cashier like that.

And those people who like, "just lie" are the problem too.

You went to an event in it. You wore it. Don't be that person who then returns a worn item.

OP were you beyond the return date?

If it were from a local store or artisan I would keep it and give it away, but since it sounds like it's some made in China and purchased for 6 bucks before markup at Ann Taylor or wherever I would return it without a second thought. I really don't cate about these places bottom line and a $45 dollar necklace isn't going to move the needle. They'll probably throw it in the trash or a box for liquidation. People return used makeup to Sephora all the time and theu jusy ditch it; big stores bake returns into their business and pricing models.

People acting like someone having worn a necklace for an hour is akin to sharing underwear need to get a grip.

Or that it was a gift for your daughter and she didn’t like it. Easy.

If that is the case, the store should take it back since it is not usable for the purpose of wearing it as a necklace.

I wouldn’t lie about having worn it, but I would make it clear that it was being returned because it was defective and wouldn’t lie right, regardless of how you tried to adjust it.

This. Did you tell them you wore it out all day and couldn't get it to sit right?
