Cracked ring

When you purchase an item from a merchant, such as a jeweler, there is an implied warranty of merchantability. That means the article must do what it is supposed to do. The ring did not; therefore, it could be a breach of that warranty. However, the length of time the warrantee lasts depends on the circumstances. 6 months might be too long. However, they did replace the ring, and the warranty of merchantability would apply to the replacements. It sounds like those cracked in a shorter period of time, so you might have a good argument that the replacements breached the warranty.

However, all this is not definite. I could not say for sure how you would do in small claims court with this. So I suggest either continuing to take replacements as bad as that option is, or perhaps hire an attorney to write a letter to them for you.
