Check out this Amazing Peridot, Gold and Platinum ring! This ring came into our shop because the original stone was very beat up, chipped and scuffed. Previously the stone was set in a half bezel or tulip style setting that left the long sides of the oval exposed to lots of dings, bangs, and abrasions leading to its deteriorated state when it arrived in the shop. We removed the old peridot and old gold tulip style setting and found an amazing new peridot to replace the old one. To protect the new stone, we built a full bezel and seamlessly integrated into the original design. Next, we set the stone and gave the ring a complete shine up and polish. Now look at this amazing heirloom quality ring you see today! Our client couldn't be happier, and neither could we! It is an absolute showstopper of a ring!

Before and After of the Week! Our client brought in this old worn-out wedding set, having lost the center stone and were hoping to bring new life into this once lovely wedding set. Our clients wanted to upgrade to a larger diamond, choosing a lovely 1ct diamond. To accommodate replacing the smaller original stone with a much larger stone, we had to replace the head that holds the stone in place. The new head is much larger than the original head, so we had to cut the span or bridge between the rows of side diamonds, and open the ring up from the top. After we got the new head in place, we sized both rings to our clients new preferred size for comfort. To finish up this job we retipped 20 prongs across both rings, set the amazing new diamond, and then polished everything up to a showroom new quality shine. This wedding set dazzles with a new 1 carat showstopper diamond in the center and after the retips, sizing and full polish, it looks better than ever!

Before and After of the Week! Our client brought in this Amazing Diamond and White Gold Ring, frustrated that their hair was getting caught underneath the large center diamond. They also wanted us to check that all their stones were secure. Upon high magnification inspection we identified where the hair was getting caught underneath the stone and that this ring was going to need some re-tips! In order to stop our clinet's hair from being caught we filled a small gap on each side of the head that holds the center stone by welding and the application of a small amount of white gold solder. Next we rebuilt all the tips that needed it, mostly along the outside edges of the two smaller ring bands. After that we gave the whole ring a beautiful polish up and final finish! This ring looks amazing, will no longer be catching our clients hair, and is ready to be worn daily for years to come without concern for loosing any of it's sparkling diamonds!

The Jewelry Professor is located in Cedar Crest, in the same plaza as Triangle Grocery, Strawberry Moon Market, and Trail Rider Pizza. We are open Wednesday through Saturday from 12-5. Hope to see you soon!

Love this Bolo!! Our client came in with a White gold and diamond ring that he had purchased for his late mother, and wanted to use the diamonds from the ring in a new bolo that they could wear to the Opera. The clusters of diamonds from our client's mother's ring were used to make the flowers in this whimsical and delightful asymmetrically balanced design. The hand scribed background contrasts so nicely with the high polished flower stems and leaves. Leaving no area unfinished, the back of this one-of-a-kind bolo includes a traditional figure 8 slide soldered on top of a complementary rolling mill patterned surface. This is one heck of a bolo!
