Resetting Jewelry

[jeweln]

Hi Everyone
I am looking to reset some jewelry . I am not looking for expensive top of the line venders . Want an affordable vender who can do a decent job in claw prongs and smooth flowing design . Can you please recommend one ?

look for stuller settings via a local jeweler, they have a lot of options and tend to be affordable. you can search their inventory online but may or may not be able to find pricing.

good luck!

Thanks , but my local jewelers are pretty expensive (only used them for resizing ) . That's why I was looking for online venders .

gotcha. many people here have reported good experiences with David Klass in Los Angeles (affordable and customizable). i'm sure more people will be along with suggestions. good luck

I konw these days everyone on PS is using DK ,but I don't know his prices . His work is perfect so he must be expensive !

Try Jasmine Jade Boutique. She’s got a bench that’s really affordable IMO. She used to be a PS-er under a different name.

If you buy a setting from James Allen, you can send your jewelry to them to have it reset. You'll have to specify how you want the old setting to be returned, I think they charge $100 for a setting fee. Best to confirm with their customer service via chat!

Actually what I have to reset is an art deco 3 stone ring that is inside a gallery . I want to reset it to a prong ring .

FWIW, IMHO DK's pricing is very reasonable - it may be worthwhile to shoot him an email about the re-set project and your budget before you cross him off the list...

She uses him too but she’s got another guy. She quoted me something using the other guy and said he’s cheaper but he can’t do some of the stuff DK can.

David Warren at Jdsgemstacular is a very nice and affordable fellow. He could hook you up with a quality custom setting at a very good price.

Kris Kildow on Etsy; I have several custom colored stone rings from him.
