SUMMER 2020: Any prices shown may be inaccurate due to fluctuating gold prices due to the COVID crisis.
Please contact us for current prices. We apologize for this inconvenience.
Our new project is to recycle your old gold jewelry and then convert it into a beautiful
family crest ring at a very low 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 with typical cost 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.
See our Gold Buying Service: this lets you trade your old gold towards your new crest jewelry!
