Repair to Debbie's heirloom

 

Debbie came to us needing our help, as her daughter Eleanor was being proposed to.

The ring was an heirloom that she wanted to pass down to Eleanor so it was the perfect opportunity when Eleanor’s partner, Harry asked permission to propose.

Debbie knew the ring was in need of some tender loving care but trusted that the Petra team would be able to turn this much loved family piece around in time for Harry to propose to Eleanor.

The ring was given a thorough inspection and needed to be reshaped and all it’s claws re-tipped.

As the shank was so worn and required sizing down quite a few sizes we suggested re-shanking the ring, to ensure firstly it wouldn’t damage during the sizing process and so that the ring’s longevity would be increased.

Debbie was so pleased we could help to achieve this so we went straight ahead with the work to make this happen for her in time.

The ring went into the workshop to be touched up and made to look brand new once again by our incredible goldsmith, Behzad.

Debbie couldn’t believe the difference in the final repair…

With our job done it was time for Debbie to give the ring to Harry ready for the proposal.

Harry took Eleanor to Seceda, Val Gardena in Dolomites.

To ask the big question…

And her answer was “YES!”

Congratulations to the lovely couple Eleanor and Harry!

I can’t believe how this ring looks now and can’t wait to see it on my daughters finger.
