Recommendations for re-purposing jewelry

[SCARLETTE]

Hello Friends!

First time in this sub-forum but I thought it might be the best place to post my question. I was gifted some diamond jewelry (ring, necklaces, earrings) by my late mother. I am looking for an online or physical jewelry store that will help me re-purpose them into pieces that I can wear everyday. I am in Orange County, California. My budget is tight and am searching for reasonable and reputable businesses that you all can recommend. Thanks so much in advance!!!!

Hi @SCARLETTE, This summer I had David Klass repurpose my mom's original wedding set for her. https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/after-40-years-in-a-ring-box-moms-ring.290819/

He's also made several items for me, and worked with me price wise by describing metal options, etc. and taking some scrap metal items. He's based in southern California, and I'm not but we handled everything through email.

Thank you for all the suggestions! I decided to try an online business that specializes in this type of work. I have a virtual appointment with them coming up in a few days. Will definitely come back and update with before and after pics.
