Long
review
but
important
to
share.
The
center
diamond
in
my
engagement
ring
was
loose
so
I
took
it
to
Casa
d
Oro
for
repair.
They
told
me
the
prongs
were
bad
and
gave
me
a
cost
of
$330
to
repair.
Ten
days
after
getting
it
back
from
repairs
I
looked
down
and
noticed
the
stone
was
gone.
When
we
reached
out
to
Reza
he
accepted
no
blame.
Instead,
he
said
it
was
an
accident
and
I
somehow
pushed
the
stone
out
of
the
new
mounting.
I’ve
been
wearing
the
ring
for
over
30
years
and
can’t
recall
ever
doing
anything
that
would
result
in
dislodging
a
diamond
mounted
in
a
ring,
let
alone
in
the
past
10
days.
And
right
after
being
repaired!
But
Reza
stuck
to
his
story
and
his
culpability
was
nil.
He
did
offer
to
show
me
some
diamonds
at
cost,
but
nothing
he
showed
me
aligned
with
my
wants
and
one
didn’t
even
have
a
GIA
certificate
but
instead
had
the
less
desirable,
inferior
European
Gemological
Laboratory
(EGL)
certificate.
Plus,
he
was
going
to
charge
me
another
$380
to
mount
the
new
diamond
(on
top
of
what
I
just
paid
for
the
repairs)
and
that
just
didn’t
sit
well
with
me.
I
purchased
a
diamond
elsewhere.
When
I
took
my
newly
purchased
stone
to
another
local
jeweler
to
mount
into
the
ring
it
was
fairly
obvious
to
them
that
whoever
repaired
my
prongs
did
not
sauder
them
correctly
and
skipped
the
final
heating
step
necessary
to
harden
the
materials.
If
not
done
(or
forgotten?),
the
material
would
be
so
brittle
any
tiny
bump
would
make
it
crumble,
as
I
was
told
by
the
jeweler.
Nice
people
work
in
the
store
but
I
would
never
recommend
them
simply
because
the
refusal
of
taking
ownership
of
faulty
work.
If
you
are
wanting
to
partner
with
someone
you
trust
this
is
not
your
store.
That
dishonesty,
coupled
with
unwillingness
to
accept
any
blame
or
responsibility,
is
enough
deterrent
for
me
to
ever
do
business
with
them
again.
I
went
in
for
a
$300
repair
and
it
cost
me
over
$6000.
