Hello Stephjoy. Yours was one of the recommendations on the BTF for Burhan(along with helen), and that is why I went to him originally.
However, although I was disappointed with my pandora charms, the ring was lovely - as stated. My solid flower shape looked more like a fat round pumpkin(he even had my silver one to copy) than a flower, and even the re-done one from Ms Pak isn't exact. The handbag was the only one that I was really happy with, but even then, the handle was too chunky.
I thought that Burhan was professional in his manner, and at the first meeting seemed confident that he could do a good job, but he happily refunded the monies paid.I felt that he was a very honest person and for this reason I would use him again for jewellery other than my charms.
I know from perusing the Forum over many years, that not everyone agrees with others various opinions regarding shops in Bali, but feel that it is best to "tell it like it is" from one's own experience. Cheers.
