We received a consultation from a customer in Fukuoka Prefecture who had lost the central ornament of her almond-shaped antique ring.
She also had a diamond necklace gifted by her husband whose chain had broken, and a diamond ring inherited from her mother that didn't fit and she had never worn. She wanted to know if these diamonds could be used in the center of the antique ring.
Since the customer lived far away, we communicated via email. During our exchanges, we learned that she was celebrating her 60th birthday, so we decided to incorporate a red gemstone. While there are many red gemstones, we suggested a Burmese ruby, fitting for such a special ring.
We proposed a design for the empty center of the ring, combining the customer's existing gemstones with the Burmese ruby suggested by 440, and she eventually decided to visit our store.
She brought in the jewelry she wished to have remodeled, and was able to see the ruby proposed by 440.

Except for the center ruby, all other gemstones were taken from the customer's existing jewelry and incorporated into the new design.
The antique ring features glamorous gemstones arranged in a straight line within an almond-shaped setting, creating a sharp and elegant impression. Additionally, we made openwork round design earrings for daily use from the remaining gemstones.

This request came from a wonderful couple who run a French restaurant in Fukuoka Prefecture. Thank you very much for traveling a long distance and entrusting us with the remaking of your precious jewelry.
