Resetting Antique Diamond Engagement Ring

[NYC10075]

I am considering purchasing an antique diamond engagement ring at auction, but the ring size is very small. Does anyone have any recommendations of a jeweler local to the NYC area that would be able to reset the existing stones in a new setting? I've spoken with several jewelers, but most seem to require I purchase the stone from them for them to be willing to create the setting.

Any insights and recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

If you're just looking for a jeweler to plop the old stone into a new setting you already have, I like this guy:


He's done a lot of repair work for me over the last year, and I've been very satisfied with his quality and prices. But if you're looking for someone to design or create a new ring for you, I don't think he's your man.

Is the theme of this thread not about resetting?

The OP is requesting information (“Does anyone have any recommendations of a jeweler local to the NYC area that would be able to reset the existing stones in a new setting?”). There are multiple “show me” type threads and you can create your own thread (which you did).
