Neifeh
was
hired
to
design
and
make
a
custom
wedding
band.
They
provided
several
options,
via
drawings,
and
my
bride
to
be
and
I
chose
one.
The
drawing
was
converted
to
a
wax
mold.
We
visited
the
store
and
discussed
several
concerns
about
the
mold.
We
all
agreed
the
revisions
would
be
implemented
into
another
wax
mold
for
review.
Instead,
they
chose
to
cast
the
ring.
We
visited
Naifeh
two
more
times
before
the
ring
was
completed
and
had
the
same
concerns.
Each
time,
they
said
the
ring
wasn’t
finished
yet
and
our
concerns
would
be
addressed
as
they
finished
whittling
the
casting
into
a
finished
ring.
When
we
visited
the
store
to
review
the
finished
ring,
the
same
concerns
still
existed.
Many
conversations
ensued.
Once
we
finally
got
through
the
excuses,
blaming,
and
lies
(aka:
misunderstandings,
according
to
them)
they
agreed
the
drawings
they
provided
(the
only
thing
they
provided
us
to
begin
with)
were
not
representative
of
the
final
product
and
were
never
intended
to
be
representative.
What?!?!
You
provide
drawings
that
were
never
intended
to
represent
the
final
product?
For
reference,
the
drawings
they
provided
showed
the
wedding
band
next
to
the
engagement
band.
Neifeh
said
that
making
the
final
product
match
the
agreed
upon
drawing
would
be
much
more
money.
Despite
the
frustration
and
drama
from
Neifeh,
my
fiancé
and
I
agreed
to
the
price
increase.
2nd
Ring:
Like
the
first
ring,
there
were
several
trips
to
the
store
to
review
things.
This
time,
though,
Neifeh’s
progress
was
much
slower.
For
several
weeks,
we
voiced
concerns
about
their
lack
of
progress
vs
our
wedding
date.
We
were
told
that
other
customers
were
ahead
of
us
(not
sure
how
we
got
bumped
to
the
back
of
the
line),
but
were
assured
the
ring
would
be
ready
in
time
for
the
wedding.
This
time
around,
each
of
our
visits
had
Janice
and
one
of
the
two
managers
present
to
ensure
our
concerns
were
properly
addressed.
And,
in
spite
of
the
slow
progress,
they
were
doing
better
listening
to
our
concerns
about
the
ring
design.
Each
step
of
the
way,
from
the
wax
mold
to
the
rough
casting
to
the
finished
ring,
the
physical
ring
gets
a
little
smaller
each
time.
This
is
normal.
The
final
product
was
still
too
large,
though.
The
band
on
the
wedding
band
was
disproportionately
larger
than
the
band
on
the
engagement
ring.
The
‘finished’
wedding
band
was
ready
for
review
the
day
before
our
wedding.
Despite
our
dissatisfaction
with
the
ring,
we
decided
that
having
a
wedding
band
for
our
wedding
was
the
priority
and
accepted
the
ring
with
the
caveat
we
could
return
it
to
be
fixed.
One
or
two
weeks
after
the
wedding,
my
wife
dropped
the
ring
back
off
and
repeated
her
prior
concerns.
After
a
few
weeks
of
no
contact,
Neifeh
was
contacted
for
an
update.
They
said
they
would
charge
us
more
money
to
make
the
breadth
of
the
wedding
band
match
the
engagement
band.
They
said
we
accepted
the
ring,
despite
voicing
concerns,
when
we
left
the
store
with
it
the
day
before
our
wedding.
Looking
back
at
the
situation,
I
strongly
question
Neifeh’s
integrity
and
attention
to
detail…both
of
which
should
be
paramount
for
a
jewelry
store.
Neifeh
only
provided
drawings
of
a
ring…then
Neifeh
said
we,
the
customer,
should
not
expect
the
finished
product
to
look
like
the
drawing.
Then,
Neifeh,
slow
played
their
progress
to
complete
the
ring
just
one
day
before
the
scheduled
wedding
date
and
say
that
leaving
the
store
with
the
ring
is
full
acceptance?!?!
Neifeh:
Legally,
you’re
probably
right
about
that.
Morally,
you
should
be
ashamed
of
yourself.
