Your old gold jewelry can be converted it into a beautiful family crest ring at
a very low cost. Any old discarded ring may be a candidate for this service. 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!
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.

EXAMPLE #1 - This was a traditional
graduation ring. We have taken out the old stone and then lowered the ring one level
in order to make a larger engraving area and to make the ring less bulky. Then we
have added a new 14k gold plate in place of the stone and have engraved the family
crest on the new plate creating a beautiful family crest ring!
Example #2 - Conversion of a plain stone ring with a broken stone.
