I have components to a ring that belonged to my grandmother but was unfortunately taken apart and then poorly remade. The ring is sizable and came from the fabulous 50s. Does anyone know anyone that specialized in handmade reproductions? I would greatly appreciate a reply
This is from my recent experience. Otten Vallet and Co in Huntington Beach, CA do excellent work. They are contracted to do insurance work and often recreate antique pieces. Not much of a web presence but if you send an email they are very responsive. They are also the house bench for Tiffany at South Coast Plaza.
Randy repaired the channel on my 1930s ER and redid the milgrain. Even with a loupe I cannot tell the difference in his handiwork versus the original. They do a good deal of work via mail and most of their clients are not local.
CD Sako may also do repairs, you can google him on here.
