This ring was brought in to be repaired, as it had a crack between the shoulder and the head and the claws were very worn.
Because this ring was so badly worn, we suggested remaking it with the original diamond to make it stronger for years to come. If we were to only repair the setting, our customer would have had approximately another 5 years of wearing it before the shank would have needed repairing, compared to another 20-30 years of wear after remaking it.
We used the customer's original diamond and copied the design as close as possible to how it would have looked originally.
