This story is a harrowing account of greed, unethical behavior, betrayal, and manipulation. It…read moredetails how Keenan Valdes, the owner of Sachi Fine Jewelry, who presented himself as a capable jewelry designer, took advantage of a customer at every turn, failing to provide any documents, receipts, invoices, or certifications, and breaking every promise made in their verbal agreement. Nearly four years ago, in the spring of 2021, I entered Keenan's store to inquire about designing a ring with a yellow sapphire. I had narrowly survived a life-threatening incident while traveling and was struggling with my health, hoping for a miracle to aid my recovery so I could care for my daughter. A friend's guru, an enlightened yogi known for his expertise in stone healing, recommended that I get a yellow sapphire ring and wear it constantly. I showed Keenan a photo of the design I wanted, stated a budget of $5,000, and requested a stone size of 2-3 carats. Keenan quoted a price of $2,000-$2,500 for the ring, based on the weight of the metal. He was exceedingly charming, assuring me that I was in the right place and that he had a dealer who could get the stone at the best price. When I asked about a down payment, he said I would pay the full amount upon completion if I was satisfied, and that the ring would be ready in six months. Based on consultations with other jewelry designers, I knew that 1-carat should cost around $750, so I believed the total cost would be under $5,000. However, with each meeting, the design and price drifted further from the original plan. Keenan ordered a much larger stone, 4.15 carats, claiming it was a rare find that would make my ring unique and valuable over time making it a family treasure passing through generations. His enthusiasm convinced me to agree, and he told me that I needed to pay $7,777 in cash for the stone within 30 days. I sold my company's stock to make the payment, believing I would receive the ring in six months and that Keenan didn't profit from the stone. (Only 2 weeks ago by pure incident I learned that he made 300% markup on that stone.) Despite the lack of paperwork and the higher cost, I was captivated by his stories and trusted him completely. As time went on, Keenan's behavior became more manipulative. He claimed the stone was too high-profile for the design I wanted but assured me he could create any design. I proposed a few more designs but none of the designs I suggested worked for such high profile stone, and he had no interesting creative ideas of his own. In February 2022, he tried to sell me a premade ring that was completely unsuitable. Realizing I had made a mistake in trusting him, I felt trapped because I had already paid $8K for the stone. The ring was supposed to be ready in August 2022, but Keenan prioritized other orders and suggested I take my business elsewhere. When I asked if he would buy back the stone, he refused, claiming the stone and ring were separate transactions. It was another lie to keep my money. Along the way he pressured me into adding diamonds and making design adjustments to fit those, so the prototype I finally saw in April 2024 was far from what I had envisioned. Finally, after a long wait the ring in platinum was ready on December 14th, 2024. I paid $2,222 in cash and picked up the ring, but upon closer inspection, I found numerous flaws. The stone was set incorrectly (wrong angle) and too high, and the band was twisted in an awkward way. The ring caused discomfort (made my finger to swallow). It was poorly designed, bulky, unstable, and absolutely unwearable. Feeling betrayed and emotionally drained, I requested a refund, but Keenan refused. He lied about taking the money to the bank and paying for materials but after pressuring him to stick to the contract agreement he finally returned the same bills I had given him. He suggested creating a new design, but I had lost all trust in him. When I asked if he wanted to keep the ring setting to sell in his store, he said it was only good for melting down. This meant he knew the ring was so poorly designed that it couldn't be sold, yet he still wanted me to pay for it in the first place. Throughout this ordeal, I received no documentation, invoices, or certifications (even though I requested those). I have no proof of the materials used, their weight, or the authenticity of the stone. After nearly four years, countless appointments, and significant financial loss, I decided to seek legal action. Keenan's refusal to take responsibility and his unethical behavior left me with no other option. When I offered him to settle this case outside the courtroom, he didn't bother to respond to my emails. (I read in another review that he just ignored his clients when he doesn't want to return money for the unfinished work). If anyone else has experienced similar issues with Keenan Wade Valdes, please join me in my lawsuit.

Ghosting: In the retail world, ghosting by a salesperson…read moreoccurs when a business suddenly ceases all communication, ignores inquiries, or fails to follow up with a customer after initial engagement, such as in-store visits, online chat inquiries, or support requests. It is a form of passive, unresponsive service that leaves consumers feeling ignored, unvalued, and in a state of limbo. Physical Store Inattention: It applies to in-store scenarios where staff may ignore customers or promise follow-ups that never happen. Types of Retail Ghosting: This includes ignoring questions in the comments section, not replying to direct messages (DMs), or leaving a customer who asked about product availability or support with "radio silence". Implications for Retailers: Loss of Trust and Revenue: Consumers are likely to avoid retailers who do not respond, leading to a loss of sales, particularly among younger shoppers. Reputation Damage: Unanswered complaints and questions lead to negative online reputations and lower rankings on search engines (SERPs), decreasing store foot traffic. High Churn Rate: A significant portion of consumers will cease purchasing from a brand after experiencing poor communication or multiple negative interactions.

I said I couldn't go over $175 so we probably wouldnt find a compromise...but then he said "sold." I was surprised: those tiny garnets were priced ridiculously high, but he suddenly accepted about 30% of that price. I told him I needed to go get the cash, and that really seemed to piss him off. (Who doesnt like being paid in cash?) He scolded me like a kid and told me not to make an offer if I couldn't buy it right then and there. I explained to him that it would take 20 minutes to get the cash and I would be right back, and he said OK, but he was completely rude from then on and didn't try to hide it. If I'm buying jewelry, I don't like buying from people like this guy. Its an investment and there should be trust, which is why its nice to build a good relationship with your seller. I got the cash and returned to the store -- looking for my earrings. But they were GONE! He had packed them up in a box to move somewhere, even though they don't close for another three hours, and even though he KNEW I was coming back for THOSE earrings. I had even specifically confirmed that he would give them to me for that price when I returned. Nope! Wouldn't even let me buy them. That was the only display box that he packed up. There's more. His wife is very nice, but as she showed me a necklace, he scolded me as if I were stealing. I said thanks and got the heck out. Bad vibes, bad customer service. Bottom line, I'm never coming back here. I buy jewelry from people I trust to be transparent, respectful, and who don't force a decision in 30 seconds or less. It's one thing if you're not really buying anything, but I was there to buy. If you're buying pawned jewelry, you need time to examine it, otherwise you'll probably end up spending too much on a synthetic gem. If you're looking for a wonderful, FRIENDLY jewelry pawn shop with equally high-end merchandise at better prices, run by a VERY nice family, go to Onix Jewelry instead. In fact, I went there after I left Aboud Jewelry and bought 18k gold studs with natural blue sapphire....for $100!!! Tony at Onix is always happy to negotiate. Also, it's 2 minutes away from Aboud Jewelry. Spend your money there and get more value and nicer service.
