I recently had many pieces of old jewelry melted down and reset into a necklace and a ring. The Jewelers were awesome to work with. I live in California and they were very accommodating with sending me photos and the waxes to ensure I liked the setting prior to it being cast. They were WAY more affordable than any place I spoke with in California and worked quickly on my pieces. Additionally, they bought back my left over materials (gold, diamonds, etc.) that I didn't need in the new setting. I have found myself a new jeweler and it makes no difference to me that they are in a different state. Thank you, Joanie for being so wonderful!
