Can a jeweler legally charge me for an engagement ring I have not received despite writing out a “receipt” for it?

Long story short — I was interested in doing business with a jeweler for an engagement ring. I expressed interest in one, in which he apparently, “Took $1300 out of his own pocket,” to size correctly for me. I left that day without any kind of down payment, but he did write out a receipt for the full amount (diamond included) for around $8500. The deal fell through, I found another jeweler I enjoyed doing business with. The aforementioned hounded me for months by call and text. They removed the diamond, but still wants me to pay the $1300 for the setting he “paid out of pocket” for. Am I obligated to pay a penny of this? Thank you for your help.

Can I have a bad faith trademark registration reversed?

I am a partial owner of a relatively new record label. The company is an LLC and has been active since 2019. We have the name “Mala Fama Records LLC”. The name is in our logo and our brand name logo (which is a graphic text of the name Mala Fama). A third party recently trademarked the words “Mala Fama” on October 7, 2020.
