Let Me Redesign Your Old Jewelry!
Dang! I wish Ginanne Brownell Mitic had spoken to me for this New York Times article about redesigning old jewelry. Redesigning is one of my specialties and I have interesting stories to tell. CLICK HERE FOR MY POSTS ON REDESIGNS. One of my first redesigns took a 60-point diamond (just over half a carat) and…
