Our new project is to recycle your old gold jewelry and then convert it into a beautiful family crest ring at a lower cost. Send us any old discarded ring. High School or College rings are very good subjects for this transformation. Old stone rings also work well, whether the stone is cracked or still in good shape. Indeed, just about any old ring will do!
You may already have an old plain ring, either gold or stone that needs no jewelry work at all! You may send it to us to have it hand engraved with your own crest making it into a beautiful family heirloom that will be treasured for generations! See our examples 5 and 6 for stone rings and example 8 for a gold ring below.
Below we show several examples for this kind of work, as well as a wax impression made with the finished ring to show the quality and detail of the engraving. These prices shown here are intended as a guide only, when you send us the actual ring, we will give you a firm quotation based on the amount of work to be done.
