Jewelry designer
I’m looking for a great jewelry designer who can design and reset some rings. I need someone who can work with precious stones like diamonds, is trustworthy, and has great style. The reviews on BPN are a little old so I am hoping for some more up to date recommendations.

Carol at A Jeweler’s Place in the Inner Richmond (SF) worked with my husband to come up with a very unique design for a precious stone he had for my engagement ring. The ring was hideous (to me!) and my husband insists that Carol integrated all of his ideas well to create the setting. After saying YES, I immediately took the ring back to Carol and had her start completely from scratch to create something that I absolutely love. She was easy (for both of us) to work with, creative and responsive to our very different ideas of beauty. I recommend her highly.
Pave on College in Rockridge or Fisher's Custom Design Jewelry on Solano in Albany have done the same for my wife with wonderful results.
Pave jewellers on college ave in Rockridge and Berkeley 4th st has done excellent work for me. Using a sapphire and small diamonds from an old piece of mine, together we designed a beautiful pendant that I treasure and get loads of compliments. Pave also cleans my rings (not from them) for free when I drop by, within about 10 mins. I highly recommend them.
J. Sahadi Jewelers on Piedmont Ave in Oakland are wonderful. We bought my wedding ring there, they do beautiful work, and repairs.
