I've had these earrings for about 15 yrs but haven't worn them in around 10. Dork that I am, I steam cleaned them without checking on temp resistance & wrecked the chalcedony. My photo skills are dreadful so the pic isn't real sharp -- the settings are silver w/pave diamonds on the apple leaf & a rc diamond as the stem. They're about 9 mm x 8 mm. I like them; they weren't real expensive but I want to put new stones in them.
Maybe make them red apples, with red spinels or garnets; or green ones w/demantoids or peridots. Need cabs but they'd have to be custom cut.
I have never done this before -- would obviously have to send the mountings to whoever cuts the stones. Should it be somebody who can set them too? Makes the most sense? Any best recommendations? Thanks!
