Inherited Jewelry Redesign
Client request:
- Use gems from Grandmother’s jewelry (ring & necklace)
- cluster ring
Client Budget: $1000
Actual Cost: $800
The client inherited jewelry from her grandmother and wanted something more modern that she would wear. She sent in all the jewelry for me to choose the gems for her new ring. She thought the purple gem was an Amethyst. While removing the gems from the old settings, I noticed the amethyst didn’t have the right purple color. I preformed all the proper gemological test and discovered it was an Alexandrite, a gem that is worth 1000x the price of an amethyst.
