Re- making an antique piece

[Josh_loveofjewels]

Hi all, Im new to price scope bit I have enjoyed reading all of your threads. I am in possession of a ring that was made for my grandmother in the 50s. Unfortunately when my grandmother passed the ring was taken apart. I was able to obtain all of the pieces to the ring from various family members and had hoped to just have the ring re-assembled. Unfortunately the jeweler that did the work just poorly remade the mounting... and I mean POORLY. I am tryin to find someone who can really artfully re-craft my treasured family heirloom. I have considered Leon Mege and Steven kirsch but I have read mixed reviews. Any advise would be greatly appreciated Attached belo are a few pics of how the ring miserably exists now and a drawing of the profile as I remember it.

Thank you for the suggestions. Would you suggest anyone else for a completely handmade piece?

There are other jewelers such as Steven Kirsch and Maytal Hannah who hand-forge rings, but I didn't recommend them because they don't specialize in vintage & antique restorations. It couldn't hurt to reach out and see what they have to say though!

I second Sako he's a magician at creating beautifully made reproduction pieces and repairing real ones;
