Antique Ring with Custom Amethyst Cut and Re-Set

My first time working with a stone cutter! For this project, I worked closely with a local stone-cutter on designing an emerald-cut Rose de France Amethyst to replace a lost stone in a sentimental antique ring. Here is the ring before:

Antique gold ring before custom setting: two claws broken and missing stone

And here it is after!

I am so excited about this project and can't wait to start doing more like this next year. In the past, I have mostly worked with costume jewelry, but now I am venturing into the world of fine jewelry! All custom and ethical of course. No blood diamonds here!
