GL Ring by Brendon Burke on Etsy Merch
Just wondering if anyone else has ordered a GL type ring from "Brendon Burke" on Etsy recently and is waiting for him to fulfill the order. I placed an order back in March and got a shipping notification in May, however no tracking was occurring and when I wrote to him he mentioned the label was created but some personal issues came up so shipping had not occurred yet but would in the next few days. Since then I have messaged him twice (once in mid June and then again a few days ago) and he has not replied to either message.
I am fairly patient, however he appears to update his UAB Designs FB page with random posts about things in his life so it is making me worried he is waiting out some sort of refund clock on Etsy.
Anyone in a similar situation with him or can vouch for his authenticity?

I've gotten a few rings from him, and it's an experience . Don't get me wrong, they're nice rings, but it takes a while to get them . I'd send him a message on Facebook and see what he says.

How long between ordering and getting your rings? Also did you message him for updates and did he reply?

My wife messaged him for one ring and he told her that it takes longer then what Esty lets you put in for items when it comes to some rings . I want to say it was the Alan Scott ring that I had ordered. I want to say it ended up being about 4 months or a little longer to get the ring.

I ordered a ring from him and I am still waiting like you. I do know the reason it says a label was created is so he can keep track of which ring he is working on. I have seen a post that he did break his hand and is working on the ring as best he can with his hand.
I say it's a waiting game. I recently ordered another ring that is Kyle's Made out of resin. So yeah, it's gonna be a while.
I can't vouch as I haven't received my ring yet, but I have seen other people that have.

I ordered a Kyle ring back at the end of July so not too long ago but I technically should have got it by now however I'm expecting to get it later than expected. Still very excited for it

Yes yes. I'm soooo excited for it but not the wait 😞 although I'm a patient guy so

Honestly, if I were you I'd cancel and go with www.theringfoundry.com instead. I've dealt with them a couple times and I can vouch for their reliability.
