Here is a restoration job I did on a ring. It was very worn and cracked with no stones in it. I would say this ring was border line scrap. But it had sentimental meaning to the customer. I rebuilt the top, re-engraved the sides, and put on a new shank then set it with 2 emeralds and a diamond about 1/4ct each.

Mike,
You've done a wonderful job on this ring. To me the best part of this project was to bring many years of life to a treasure that could have been lost forever. Bravo for your efforts and performance.

Thanks guys. These antique rings are not my favorite, but they are quite gratifying seeing the customers face when they pick them up.

Nice job mike. That's nice crisp millgrain. The engraving has brought the ring back to life.
