David Horowitz Jewelers

I was very pleased with my ring. David did a wonderful job of making the ring just like my fiance asked. It was just what I had wanted. After that, things took a horrible turn for the worse. The ring was too large when I got it, he said that it was an 8.5, but it was probably closer to a 9.5 (it's been sized now by 2 different jewelers at 8.5, and is WAY smaller than what it was the first time) He told me to keep it for the weekend and bring it back so that he could size it before our trip to Hawaii. Bummer, but I could deal with it. When I took it back to get sized, he ruined the whole shank of the ring. He said that he got new files for Christmas and accidentally filed it down too much "haha". The bottom was so thin that it was almost razor sharp and would have easily broken. He said that it was not a problem for me to keep it for the week while we were on vacation, but then bring it back for him to put a new shank on as soon as we were home. I took it BACK in when we got home, but when I went to pick it up on the day he had promised, he gave me some line about how he didn't have any 18K gold and so he had to order some, blah blah blah, come back in a couple days. Well, my ring is 14K, and it's even stamped, BY HIM, as 14K, so I don't know where he came up with that story. (During this experience, I went in multiple times when he had promised my ring, but he wasn't there, and no one knew why the ring wasn't done. "Come back later") Finally, my ring was done, with a new shank put on, and I got out of there as fast as possible! A year later, when I went to get my wedding band welded to the engagement ring (bought from and work done by another jeweler), we found that the band of my engagement ring was cracked all the way through on one side. I hadn't noticed it until the new jeweler pointed it out, but then I could see it with my own naked eye. Shocker: it was right where David had attatched the new shank. Thank goodness, the new jeweler fixed it for me. Needless to say, I will NEVER get ANYTHING from David again, or let anyone I know go there!!!
