This section is for you, the readers, to contribute reviews of different jewelry suppliers you've dealt with. The current reviews are listed to the left, but feel free to write a review for a supplier that has already been reviewed, as there is always more than one opinion out there.
Suppliers, if you see information that needs to be corrected in ordering/shipping info please let me know. Also, any supplier who has no ModMap listings: I run a link verification and remove any links which do not work (I do research to see if you've moved to a new location before removing the link). If you have moved and I was not able to find you, the link was removed and the ModMap listings on your review page have been set to "----". Please let me know if your company is still running and what URL it is located at and I will restore the ModMap listing.

Signature Piece
Suppliers, here's your chance to finally get involved in the Jewelry Supplier Reviews Section of Modified Mind! Signature Piece is a new section on each individual review page that will feature a piece of jewelry from the supplier. Suppliers who want to participate can submit a "signature piece" to be featured in this section. Here's what is required from you, suppliers:
Vital Statistics: The Vital Statistics section of your review page must be complete, if the Location, Shipping or Payment info is missing please provide it when submitting your signature piece.
Signature Piece: This feature is meant to highlight a piece of jewelry unique to your company. Please try to submit unique pieces rather than just standard cbr's or barbells. However, since that is all some companies sell, suppliers submitting standard pieces will not be denied the opportunity to participate.
Picture of the jewelry: This must be at minimum a 200x200 image of the piece of jewelry you want featured. The image needs to be high resolution. Blurry images, images that do not clearly show the jewelry, or images smaller than 200x200 will not be accepted. High quality images have a very good chance of making the Modified Mind cover, please follow the width constraint listed (or choose an image that can easily be converted to a width of 200 with a height of at least 200) if you're interested in making the cover.
Details: Three things are needed in addition to the image...the price of the jewelry (please specify if pricing is for a pair rather than a single piece), a direct link to the page on your site with this piece of jewelry, and a description of the piece (this includes size availability -- both diameter/length and gauge, material, and what the piece is called).
Submit Your Signature Piece: Once you have all of this info, e-mail it to Modified Mind at modmind@cableone.net.
Only suppliers with existing pages can participate, so if you don't have a review page please encourage your customers to post their reviews here. Suppliers, your Signature Piece can be updated or changed periodically.
Due to a solid set of reviews now in place, and some legal issues, a set of guidelines for reviewing a supplier are now in effect:
Formatting: there will be a length requirement of 100 words (which is just a nice normal sized paragraph really). There will be no exception to this., as allowing exceptions has only lead to very short and non-detailed reviews. Also, reviews will be rejected if they are written in all caps or if they are written in all fragments or are hard to read/understand.
The review should cover at least one of the following aspects: ease of ordering (how the order is placed and how they confirmed it), customer service (how good are they at handling problems that arise or communicating regarding custom orders), quickness of delivery, and quality of jewelry. Don't be afraid to go into detail (ie rather than saying the service was good, tell why the service was good). Also, if you are reviewing a company not already reviewed which is not listed in the ModMap Links section, please include the URL to their website somewhere in your review.
DO NOT say anything like "do not order from this shop", "they are a scam", "they are liars" or "we need to get them off of here". This can be considered defamation (read: possible legal action on the writer of the review and Modified Mind), and will not be published in any future reviews. If your review meets the 100 word length and you do include something like this, it will be snipped...the review will be published minus the comment. This is the ONLY form of editing I will do. Explain why they are bad but do not say not to order from them, leave that up to the reader of your review to decide.
Fake Reviews: of course it is quite possible that some reviews could possibly be bogus. While it is impossible for Modified Mind to really sniff out bogus reviews consistently and accurately, any suspicious reviews will not be published. Any supplier who tries to gain business through this review section by posting a false review, just know that those who use this section will not hesitate to post a negative review if your company doesn't live up to the boasting of the false review! Provide good service and good product and your customers will say good things about you and you won't need to post fake reviews. Also, please note that if your company is found to be submitting fake reviews, even if they don't meet other site requirements and wouldn't be published anyway they will still result in your company being placed on a permanent banned list. If your company makes it onto this list, you will not have a Jewelry Review page on Modified Mind. In addition, your listings will be removed from the ModMap links section. The suppliers likely to fall on this list probably will not have been featured in any other way on Modified Mind's site, but if there has been a Warehouse or other feature published for your company, it will also be removed.
Only include your email address if you don't mind it being printed with your review.
Disclaimer (this also appears on each individual supplier review page): Modified Mind cannot vouch for the claims made in these reviews. The opinions of these reviews are those of the contributor and not of Modified Mind. Any advice given by the reviewer is not endorsed in any way by Modified Mind and is solely the advice of the reviewer. Opinions/experiences published here do not necessarily reflect Modified Mind's opinions of the companies in question, but Modified Mind will publish both positive and negative reviews without censorship of any kind. Modified Mind will not show favoritism to any company within these reviews, and will not remove reviews in order to make a company look better by covering up bad service or product quality reviews. Any person approaching a supplier claiming to be a member of Modified Mind staff seeking free jewelry to review is falsely representing themselves and is in no way affiliated with Modified Mind.
