I’ve
been
waiting
awhile
to
write
this
review
until
I
was
less
emotional
about
it.
My
fiancé
then
(husband
now)
&
I
went
ring
browsing
together
&
loved
the
idea
of
supporting
a
family
owned
business.
We
went
in
store
&
Hakeem
initially
helped
us
but
there
wasn’t
anything
that
met
all
the
things
we
were
looking
for
and
another
jewelry
store
across
the
way
was
running
a
sale
&
had
a
beautiful
ring
I
loved.
However,
Chris
met
with
us
&
offered
to
customize
a
ring
for
us,
matched
the
price
of
the
ring
at
the
other
store
&
said
he
would
include
a
matching
wedding
band
&
add
a
hidden
sapphire.
My
fiancé
on
that
day
was
a
bit
overwhelmed
&
wanted
to
keep
an
element
of
surprise
by
not
making
a
decision
while
I
was
with
him,
so
Chris
wrote
all
the
details
on
a
business
card
with
the
total
price,
tax
&
total.
My
fiancé
went
back
on
his
own
a
few
days
later.
Dealt
with
Hakeem
once
again.
He
sold
him
the
rings
that
were
discussed,
however
they
didn’t
honor
the
tax
&
total
&
instead
priced
it
at
the
promised
amount,
plus
tax…AND,
without
communicating
with
my
husband,
changed
the
center
diamond
(1/2
carat)
to
a
LAB
DIAMOND
instead
of
a
natural
diamond.
It
was
NEVER
on
the
table
for
the
ring
to
be
made
with
a
lab
diamond
&
in
fact
declined
to
even
look
at
lab
diamond
rings
when
browsing
with
Hakeem
before.
In
addition
to
that,
they
called
him
6
weeks
later
that
the
rings
were
ready,
goes
to
pick
them
up,
&
it’s
a
square
diamond
&
the
whole
reason
for
the
customization
was
that
it
was
supposed
to
be
pear
(it
was
already
a
square
originally).
So
he
had
to
wait
for
them
to
remake
it
&
pushed
everything
back.
&
no
offer
to
compensate
him
for
the
inconvenience.
My
fiancé
didn’t
realize
any
of
the
diamond
switch
up
or
overpricing
until
after
he
proposed
&
I
asked
to
see
any
paperwork
so
I
could
determine
if
there
was
any
sort
of
warranty
or
anything.
It
honestly
makes
me
super
sad
that
this
all
happened
because
my
ring
is
BEAUTIFUL.
&
I
love
it.
But
also
every
time
I
look
at
it,
I
think
about
the
shadiness
in
business
and
advantage
taken
of
my
husband
who
is
just
a
big
sweetheart.
What
I
originally
thought
was
such
a
great
experience,
is
seen
in
a
completely
different
light
now.
I
had
every
intention
of
purchasing
my
fiancé’s
wedding
band
here
until
I
uncovered
all
the
shadiness
&
then
my
husband
wouldn’t
even
let
me
go
to
the
store
because
he
worried
I
would
speak
up
&
he
honestly
is
being
hard
on
himself
for
not
catching
the
discrepancies
before
I
did.
So…beautiful
jewelry,
wonderful
sales
experience
with
Chris,
but
can’t
get
over
the
dishonesty,
lack
on
integrity,
&
just
shady
business
practices
I
feel
like
we
experienced
with
Hakeem.
On
top
of
him
putting
the
order
in
wrong
&
having
it
made
incorrectly.
&
what
I
initially
felt
was
a
good
deal,
I
now
feel
was
overpriced.
