Whitehall Jewelers started selling off its inventory over the weekend as it began a court-approved liquidation sale.

On June 23, the Chicago-based retailer sought protection from its creditors in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. The liquidation sale will involve all 373 Whitehall store locations, including those in Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut.

The company operates stores in Providence Place mall, Swansea Mall, Emerald Square Mall in North Attleboro, Mass., Dartmouth Mall, and Crystal Mall in Waterford, Conn.

It's unclear from company statements how long the sale will last.

Whitehall was founded in 1895 under the name Marks Bros. Jewelers.

The big day hit and my boyfriend proposed. It was the most beautiful piece of jewelery I had every seen. Purchased through Whitehall Jewelers in Cary, NC but the ring needed to be sized. Because of Whitehall's Chapter 11 they refused to size the ring. We had taken it to a private jeweler and low and behold the ring is actually copper and the stones are not real. Upon taking the ring back to the store the store manager refused to give us a refund nor would they give us the right ring we paid for. What can be done? We've actually reported them to the BBB.
