I was wondering if I purchased a ring from say QVC and sent it to wink if he could replace the main stone with an interlap or asha?

I also found this band which i love, and think it would go great with my cathedral setting, but it is over a thousand dollars, and I cannot afford that. Wink, could you make a replica with czs?

Does it have any other cz's in the setting? If so, you'd run the risk of having the other stones scorched while having a new centerstone set...that's if the prongs don't snap to begin with. Its not something jewelers like to do, but its not impossible. More than likely Wink would have to see the ring to give you a better idea of whether or not he can do it.

Diamond, do you know any good websites to find settings then? I saw lots of really pretty rings on QVC, but I don't think their larger czs look very real.

Have fun! You can also go here to look at the Ingwer 2004 catalog, courtesy of Johnathan's site "Good Old Gold".

You're welcome, but the thanks really goes to Johnathan for putting such a detailed Ingwer section on his site.

I had Wink replace a Diamonique with a VanGraff once for me. He did a great job.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Some of their mountings are well made, many are absolute junk with paper thin shanks and prongs. (It's all about delivering a nice look for no money, no matter if it wears out in six months you know...)
We will mount stones in the well made ones, but not in the junky ones.

You can also go directly to www.leoingwer.com. The advantage to me of you doing that is you do not call me with older style numbers, many of which have been changed. I have had this problem a LOT with some of the catalog pages that are posted by others. I do not know if Jonathon has posted the new catalog or not, but he used to have the older catalog pages posted, which always caused me problems in figuring out which ring people wanted to order.

He's said in other threads that it just depends on the individual ring, how it's made, etc. as to whether he'd want to take the job on. Some are very well made and others are not, I sure don't blame him for not wanting to work on the lightweight crap settings.
LOL! I should just have read further, Cyn already said it real well for me...

This setting would be really pretty with a Jubilee!

Purple, just wanted to jump in and say that I don't think Wink can make that band in cz. He said previously somewhere that he will not channel set cz's. That band has little bars that the cz's are set into. (basically little short channels that hold the stone in place).
Wink.. correct me if I'm wrong!

That band is a little different than a traditional channel and I can do it as the individual stones can be replaced.
Emailing me right now is risky since I got up this morning with 400 unanswered emails, answered about a hundred during the day and left with over 350 still unanswered. Call me if you want quick answers...
