Very disappointed with the lack of communication and professionalism. A new ring that was supposed to take 4 weeks was still not completed at 12 weeks with no end date given. The ring I gave him to use as the base was cut up and is now unusable. I have less than when I started this process. I would never treat a client like I was treated.
