Ok, so I have seen a lot of Deans work and I have to say that it is some of the best available and the craftsmanship and artistry is top notch! Not to mention, he is local and you have to support our local talent especially when its at Mr. Fredrick's calaber! \r
\r
With that being said, I am friends with Dean and I have witnessed first hand his profesionalism, attention to detail, artistry, manors and work ethic and have seen him interacting with clients and have yet to see anyone dissappointed by his service or his eye for one of a kind 100% original designs. Deans design skills, artistic eye and knowledge of the jewelry industry is second to none. I think that the ""Magnets"" experiance with Dean was an isolated event and the review that was written was a bit unfair especially when no one really knows how the customer acted and treated the service provider. There are all kinds of factors that go into delays and truely, I understand the frustration that is caused by things being late, but lets be fair. So the ring was delivered late, ok, but, did it really ruin anything for you? I think that if you take a step back and look at the situation as a whole, its not that big of a deal. And, it certainly was not the end of the world. Not to mention, knowing Dean, he probably bent over backwards to give a super competitive price when the work was probably worth more than what was spent. \r
\r
And anyways, whats more imprtant, the symbol or a life forever spent with the person that you love? Im sure the ring turned out fantastic as do all of Dean Fredricks creations do and your bride to be, im sure, loves it and the last thing on her mind is that it took a bit longer than expected to be delivered. \r

To me, its not worth getting all worked up over the small stuff. There is way to much to enjoy and honestly, the cutomer is not always right but that does not mean that it is ok for people to act all crazy to one another, and thats certainly not the case here. \r
\r
Relax, Deep Breaths, and enjoy that special someone and continue to support our local talent! People deserve as many chances as it takes and most of us if we are to be honest, have gotten a lot of chances!\r

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing
