Antique Jewelry and repair

Just had a customer in today to replace a 1930's Art Deco filigree diamond ring.  Be careful who you have work on your vintage jewelry and photograph it before the work is started.  She had a jeweler try to repair her grandmothers ring and he cracked the diamond.   He made it right by encasing it in a pendant, but now she can't wear her grandmothers ring on her finger.  Lucky for me she found one in my store.
