I took my girlfriend to this jewelry store to have her finger sized as I was planning to purchase an engagement ring for her today.
At the time I was nondescript about my plans on what I wanted to purchase. We had discussed the object in question before, but I wanted this to be a surprise today.
We were welcomed nicely but a younger woman. When my girlfriend told her why we were there this woman became instantly cold and off-putting. We were told that the only way we could have her finger sized is if we purchased a sizing set for $5 cash only. Which she then tossed on the counter as if we were indigent.
I guess this establishment wouldn't have taken my American Express Black card. I was silent during the whole transaction and as I didn't have cash in my pocket, my girlfriend paid for the sizing kit. We walked out and proceeded on our way. I asked to look at the kid and upon inspection, the kit wasn't even new and had what appear to be skin crud and dirt on more than a few of the plastic rings.
So, not only are Fabios Jewelry staffed by rude salespeople, they run a cash only business. Cash only in a jewelry store means one thing. This place is either a front for drug money, or they peddle in stolen property. I would give this place a wide berth if you're wanting to make any jewelry purchases.. I would rather buy from Walmart and their phoney gold than this place.
Luckily, I have a friend who makes custom jewelry who after hearing how Fabios treated us invited us to his shop and said he would make a bespoke ring for my girlfriend.
Fabio is supposed to mean fabulous, this place just that, except don't forget to leave out horrible after Fabio. read more
