Woman Says $12,000 Worth of Jewelry Went Missing At Popular Jewelry Retailer

In July, Requitta East dropped off two wedding rings for service at a well-known jewelry retailer. Two weeks later, she went to the Kay Jewelers in Illinois to pick up one of the pieces. But she was in for an unpleasant surprise.

“I get there, it’s a completely different ring," she said. "Anybody can see that that’s not my ring. And that’s really what kinda made me feel like maybe somebody’s trying to pull the wool over my eyes."

She left the store that day without any of the rings. A total of $12,000 of missing jewelry.

East shared her experience on social media, where it turned out she wasn’t the only unhappy Kay customer. Click here for the full story.

 The Clever Message Behind the Cuban Bread Graduation Cap

With a sense of humor and a lot of love for her culture, a 22-year-old recent Florida International University graduate came up with a clever way to decorate a graduation cap that you probably will see only in Miami.

Ana Gonzalez's "Let's Get This Cuban Bread" cap -- complete with a loaf of Cuban bread glued on top -- turned heads at an FIU commencement ceremony Sunday. The phrase is a play on "let's get this bread," a slang expression for earning money.
