I have my mom's old wedding rings she gave me several years ago. The set is from about 1958. The diamond is beautiful, appears to be about one carat, with several other smaller diamonds in the band part of the ring. It is in a white gold setting.
I'm considering having this beautiful diamond made into a piece of jewelry for myself. I have my own wedding ring, so I don't need a wedding set. I've thought of having a nice pendant or some type of ring in a more modern setting.
If I take this in to the jewelers, how can I be sure I have the same diamond when I retrieve it? I'm no jewelry expert, so how can I be sure the jeweler won't switch stones on me before I get the piece back? There is a jeweler in town who designs his own stuff and is reputable. But I'm wondering if I, as a novice, can tell the difference in stones.
Also, do you think the piece would have more value as is, in the old original setting, or in a newer more modern piece of jewelry?
