Where can I find a miner''s cut diamond?

[m78sugar]

I inherited my great-grandmothers wedding ring which is platinum with miner''s cut diamonds. I lost one of the diamonds and i am looking to replace it, but unfortunately every diamond shop i go to, I am told they cant help me, but while in St. Thomas, they told me NYC has dozen of places to go to to find a miners cut stone, does anyone know of a place in NYC that I would be able to fix my ring at?
Thanks!

I'm intrigued that no one wanted to help you. Old miners can be a little tough to find but they are far from impossible to source. I know of several wholesale firms that specialize in them.

I would think most jewelers would welcome the job. Where do you live that you encounter this kind of reaction?

oddly, i live in New York City - Staten Island, but work in Manhatten.
I wanted some advice and recommendations to who I can go to in Manhatten to help with this situation.

Thanks
