A local jeweler sent us this antique ring which was set with very poorly cut Diamonds and also synthetic green stones.
I used my stock of various types and colors of synthetic materials to find a piece that matched.
Near the top of the ring you can see the spot where a green stone is missing.
To fit the piece in there, I need to get the curve at the top and the angles on the sides of the stone just right.
You can see the finished stone sitting next to the ring.
I have set the stone into its place in the ring so that you can see how it will look once it is set. I don't set stones. I leave that part of the stone setters.
The color of the stone looks a bit lighter because the other stones are dirty on the backs.
This is the same view of the ring from just a bit farther away.
