. . "After my local jeweler here in NJ told me he'd 'really rather not' repair my Navajo and Zuni jewelry, I found Old Town Jewels online. The first repair they did for me was to replace a rather large, shaped, mother of pearl stone in a older Zuni ring which had fallen out and been lost. I was a tad nervous about shipping the ring off far from home, but Diane was gracious, and professional. The ring came back looking better than before, and I knew I had found the place I could finally trust to repair future pieces. So, this year, while contemplating what to do with a pair of great vintage Zuni earrings, I was poised to buy -- I got an idea and emailed Diane at Old Town -- asking, admittedly somewhat unfairly on my part, for a very quick response -- would they be able to convert old stone inlay earrings into finger rings, with bands in the appropriate old style? I knew I may not be able to get a reply as fast as I needed to, but took a chance. With Diane's gracious - and rapid - assurance that their silversmith Henry Yazzie, could indeed do it, I went for it -- I bought the earrings, and shipped them to their shop, along with another ring by the same artist, which also needed some repair, to be used as a model for the design of the ring bands. The conversions turned out beautifully! Henry did an amazing job. I am so happy to have found this shop."^^ . "5"^^ . "1"^^ . "0"^^ . . "2017-04-14T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ .
