ANCIENT Egypt, Greece, & Rome

Can you use old rings to make new ones?
We can often use gems and diamonds from the old piece to make a new one. You can either get a custom piece or set your gem(s) into one our existing styles here. This is a great service because pretty much every company forces you to buy a diamond or gem from them in order to purchase a ring.
