Took a pendant in to be wrapped in gold for a necklace. I was quoted in between two and three hundred dollars and was told it would take two weeks max to accomplish.
A month after I brought it in I drove 3 hours to check and see if it was done, he hadnt even started on it yet and was very rude. Howdy did however show me how much gold he was going to use (by the way is no where close to the amount he actually used).
Approximately a week after that visit Howdys wife Ginger called to say it was ready. When I arrived at the store to pick the pendant up I noticed the lack of gold compared to what he showed me I asked him about it which he blew off and denied. Then I asked him if he could flex on the $297 dollar charge or give a discount for it taking over a month and a half to accomplish. He insisted he couldnt work with me and that he wasnt making "that much of a profit".
As a business man myself providing services to others I am very appalled at his lack of customer care. If I tell a client I am going to provide a specific service in a specific amount of time I either do it or adhere to the customers wants upon the time of completion in terms of price.

I happily and excitedly agreed and had money ready to do so but decided that maybe I should take it to this wonderful jeweler my girlfriend was family friends with. He opened it, replaced the batteries to both the Emergency Beacon and the watch itself and got it to work, charging a less than 1% of the cost I thought it’d be. He showed extensive knowledge, and no intention to overcharge despite knowing how much it costs to get a watch like that serviced. As someone into watches and luxury timepieces, I not only highly recommend this business, but swear by it for...
Read moreSure, go there if you need a battery changed or a small repair, definitely do not go to them to create an engagement ring. My now husband used them because the 'family' had, with picture in hand and very clear specific requirements, they made the ring, so imagine my surprise when I was presented it, I got the battleship ring they made when I wanted a sailboat! They used fear tactics to discourage him from creating the setting I wanted because they didn't want to stand behind their service, claiming the stones would fall out! I went back to them after the fact and they wanted to charge for a entire...
