My mom passed down these very special rings that I remember my great gramma wearing throughout my childhood 🥹
I want to get them appraised, and I hope the grapes can be fixed. Both were bought in the 70s/80s.
Diamond cluster: 14k, mom said they’re natural diamonds
Grapes: 14k, opal cluster, and the stem/leaf has a hinge that makes it move back and forth on the top it’s very cute 🥹
After months of shopping around retail, I found a custom jeweler through Facebook marketplace (lol) and he was able to make what I wanted for literally $2500 less than retail.
As I researched Reddit and saw everyone suggest to try local jewelers, I honestly was still scared because I didn’t really trust myself or trust what would come out. The local jeweler talked through my options with me, helped me choose between solitaire and small accent jewels (I was so undecided), and we came up with this! It is better than I expected. I feel like a princess and I’m happy I saved us money by going local 🥰
